"Its not right"

Tw: abuse..

"What do you mean?"
"I'm sorry Florence"
"No but what do you actually mean?"
"I just- I-"
"You broke my phone?"
"I'm sorry"

Right in the moment you didn't even realize Florence wasn't mad. She was just confused. On the other side Florence couldn't see the absolute fear in your eyes

"But what happened?"
"I don't know" tears where streaming down your face
"No y/n don't cry" she felt bad for you.
She opened her arms trying to hug you.
Instead you fell to the ground folding yourself in a ball protecting yourself with your arms.

Florence saw big bruising and scars all over your arms.
Her eyes widened with fear and worry.

"Y/n?"
She could see you shake and holding you breath
"Y/n baby? Look at me"
"Y/n please. Just breathe. I'm not going to hurt you I promise"
You slowly lower one of your arms looking at her.

She slowly sat down on the ground next to you. She was far away not wanting to scare you

You looked at her
"You can come here, if you're ready?" She opened her arms for a hug.
You slowly moved to the side into her arms.
She could feel your body shake in fear. She slowly rubs your back for comfort.
"It's okay baby" she holds you as you sob in her arms

After a good 30 minutes it's silent.
"Hey y/n, sweetheart?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you want to tell me what is going on?"
"N-no" you say whispering
"I-I'm n-not supposed to" you say
You can hear her sigh
"Do you want to come home with me tonight? After we're done filming."
You don't respond, instead you just cry.
"Hey hey slow down y/n. Watch your breathing baby."
You ignore her
"Y/n breathe with me baby. Just relax okay?"
"I'm s-scared Flo. Help. Please help" you cry out.
"Hey shhh. Shhh just breathe. It's okay. It's going to be okay."
Again after a few minutes it's silent

"Do you feel like you're okay to shoot today? You look tired honey"
"I'm okay. I'm sorry."
"Why are you sorry baby?"
You shrug
"Why don't we go get out make up and clothing done? I bet they're ready for us soon"
You nod.
Florence gets herself up from the floor and helping you.

—————————————————————

You are finally don't shooting and just in the cafeteria. Everyone from the crew is chatting and laughing when the door opens
"Y/n?! Where are you?"
The room is silent
"I'm here" you say awkwardly
"I've been waiting for you for hours let's go!" The man grabs your wrist
"NO!" You try to get out of his grip
"Don't make a scene" he whispers sternly
"Y/n, do you want to go with this man?" A man from the camera's asks you
"This man?! I'm her father!"
"Y/n?" He repeats
"N-no" you say looking down.
"Sir I'm going to ask you to leave" the director continues
"This is bullshit" he grabs you by your collar
"N-NO FLORENCE PLEASE!" you cry and scream.
Soon enough, security gets you out of his grip and tackles him down while calling the police.

You get up crying and run to Florence who's been trying to get to you.
You run in her arms
She picks you up carrying you out of the room being followed by the director.

They get you in a quieter room.
"Y/n honey, the police is called okay? They may have to ask you some questions is that okay?" The director asks you
You nod.
"I'm sorry for getting you trough this trouble" you mumble
"No sweetheart, don't worry about it okay honey?" The director continues as you snuggle further into Florence's arms

Minutes later the police walk in. It's about three cops, the director and Florence and of course you in one room. They sit infront of you with you still in flo's arms

"Y/n can you tell me what the situation is here?" One cop asks
You shrug
"Is your father hurting you?"
You look up at Flo
"I don't want to do this anymore" you say with tears streaming down your face. You hide away in Florence's neck
"Can we do this another time?" She asks
"We can continue this investigation later on but we need some basis information"
"What do you need to know"
"I need the name of the father, mother and the child and the current living stade"
"Do you think you can answer that honey?" She asks you
You slowly show your face again
"My fathers name I-is y/f/n y/l/n. And my name is y/n y/l/n"
"And your moms?"
"S-she died" you say looking down
"So you're just living with your dad right now?"
You nod
"Do you have any relatives you can stay with?"
You shake your head
"Not to interrupt but I'm more then welcome to take her in with me" she says
"Alright. Can i get your name?"
"Florence pugh"
"I'll keep in contact about further investigation. That's it for now"
The police man walks out together with the director leaving just Florence and you behind.
"You didn't have to do that Flo" you sigh
"I know, but I wanted to"
"M-may I ask why?"
"Uhm. I- guess I just was really lucky with my childhood. I never really thought about the fact that that isn't the case with every child. But it should be. I've been noticing little signs about this situation for a while, I just tried convincing myself you were fine because I just didn't want to believe that someone as great as you goes trough that. It's just not right honey"
"Thank you Florence. For everything. It means the world to me"
"You're welcome baby. Now let's go home shall we?"
"Yep" you smile at her relieved.
