2ND PERSON POV
"Mom" you shouted opening your bedroom door
"Dad" you shouted again stepping out your room and slowly walking down the stairs
"Where are you" you checked the living room, kitchen and library area and they were still no where, not the games room, not the pool room and not the dining room.
You closed the door sighing as you were left home alone again, you were only 7 years old, why were you left alone.
Your upsetting thoughts were washed away as the back door had its key in the key holder, you smiled and unlocked the door, running outside and down to the massive trampoline you had.
You giggled jumping up and down doing turns and flips and tricks enjoying yourself, you tried yourself out and got of the trampoline, you walked back into the kitchen, remembering to lock the back door and turned onto the kettle, luckily for you, you knew how to make pasta!
It wasn't every special but when your alone most of the time, there isn't really anything else you can do apart from eat and watch TV, you poured your pasta into the pan and slowly turned on the gas and flames.
After the kettle boiled, you poured the water carefully into the pan making sure not to burn yourself. You left your pasta to cook and sat at the kitchen table, coloring in a Disney book you had.
You checked the pasta and saw it was ready, taking it off the head carefully and dishing it up for yourself, you hummed happily whilst eating your food.
You left the half eaten bowl of pasta on the table, and running back off upstairs. You played in your room for a little bit, before once again finding yourself bored.
You had the best idea of making a fort in the living room, so, you grabbed all the pillows your could and ran downstairs with them and also got some chairs from the dining room and placed them in a sequence, you placed the pillows in the middle and giggled while running back upstairs to get the blankets and duvets.
You carefully walked downstairs with a stack of duvets and blankets and draped them over the chair's pulling them back so you had enough room.
The fort was big, it was very spacious and amazing, you smiled at your creating and ran back upstairs to get one more blanket for yourself.
The blankets dragged behind you as you hurried back down the stairs, until the blanket fell and you slipped landing right at the bottom of the stair case, but banging your knee off the bottom one, you screamed in pain and tears started falling from your eyes
"Y/n?" A voice called out, you couldn't respond and all you did was cry
SCARLETT'S POV
I had gotten off work early and didn't have any plans, so I decided I was going to drive down to see my sister and parents, I haven't seen them in a few weeks so it would be a nice surprise for the
I pulled the key out my handbag as I pulled up outside the house, I locked my car behind my and unlocked the front door and was immediately met with loud screaming cries from my sister
I closed the door and rushed to where I heard her cries and saw her lying down at the bottom of the stair case
"Y/n?" I said and crouched down beside her
"Babe, what happened" i said stroking the top of the forehead and slowly lifting her up
"I slipped and I fell and get hurt" she sobbed wrapping her arms around my chest and pressing her face into my neck
"Oh baby, you're okay though, aren't you" I said bringing my legs in front of me and pulling y/n onto my lap
"It hurts Scarly" y/n whimpered and held onto me tighter
"Let's go see" i said standing back up to my feet, picking up that blanket that y/n dropped and made my way upstairs and into y/n's bathroom. I sat her on the counter and rolled up her leggings and saw a bit of blood trickling down her knee
"Oh hunny" i whispered and folded up some tissues as y/n cried harder when she saw the blood on her leg
"Scarly no" y/n cried as i dabbed the tissue on her leg and wiping the blood away
"Let me just clean it up sweetheart" i said holding y/n's hand that was trying to push away mine as I was cleaning up her leg
"See all done" i said throwing away the tissue and standing back up straight and hugging y/n tightly and letting her cry into my shoulder
"I saw the blanket fort you made, do you wanna show your big sister it" i asked y/n, trying to lighten the mood, she nodded her head and wrapped her legs around my waist. I lifted her onto my hip and grabbed the blanket that I left on the bed and went downstairs and into the living room, placing y/n down in front of her fort she had obviously made
"Look Scarly, come inside" y/n squealed and dropped to her knees winching slightly but ignoring it and climbing inside the blankets
"I don't think I'll fit doll" i chuckles and bent down in front of the little entrance that was made
"Noo, you will, please" y/n whined and stretched out her arms, i shook my head playfully and held y/n's hands whilst crawling underneath the fort. I was surprised at how big and spacious it was I thought I would have my knees up to my chest, but I could stretch my legs out fully and not have a problem
"This is good" i said leaning back on my hands, y/n giggles and crawled over to me and sitting herself on my lap and resting her head on my shoulder
"Where's mommy and daddy" i asked sitting back up so I could hold y/n properly
"I don't know, I've been home alone for the day" y/n shrugged and played with a piece of my hair
"Are you normally home alone" i asked furrowing my eyebrows
"Yeah" y/n whispered and nodded her head
"Do you know where they go" i asked pulling y/n forward so I could see her, she shook her head and avoided eye contact
"Y/n"
"The bar, they always come back tipsy or maybe even drunk" y/n blurred out
"Oh y/n, you should've told me earlier" i sighed
"I'm sorry" y/n said rubbing her eyes and tearing up a big
"No, don't cry, you're not in trouble" i said soothingly and cupped her cheeks
"I just cant have anything bad happen to you, I can't loose you like that" i said wiping her tear
"How about you stay with me for a while, whilst we sort this out, huh" i said crawling out of the fort with y/n
"Why don't, you go pack a bag while i take this down hm" i said, y/n nodded and disappeared upstairs, i slowly took down the blankets and chairs thinking about how you would leave a 7 year old in the house to go to the bar.
"I'm done" y/n said as i just finished folding up the last blanket and placing it down in the basket they were kept in
"Good girl, let's watch a movie and see how long it take for mommy to get back" i said taking y/n's hand and sitting down on the sofa, pulling her onto my lap and turning on a movie she wanted.
Y/n fell asleep on Scarlett's lap despite how early in the afternoon it was, but after everything she had done, it had worn her out.
After 30 minutes off Scarlett waiting, there was no sight of her parent's coming back from the bar, Scarlett stood up with y/n, throwing y/n's backpack over her shoulder and writing a quick note which said that Y/n was staying with Scarlett at her house and let it on the microwave where it was obvious of them too see.
"I'm always gonna be here for my lovely" Scarlett whispered whilst strapping y/n into the car seat and giving her a gentle kiss on the cheek
