"Excuse me?!"
"She's been having panic attacks this week?!" Lizzie said, glaring holes at both men's skulls in front of her.
"We're having a conversation about this later. You go and take a rest with Elia. Me and Chris will settle everything" Seb said
"We're not done" Scarlett said
"Honey, Elia is still tired and she needs her mama. We'll be having these conversations once the three of you are having enough rest. Now both of you take Elia to her room and go take a nap with her" Chris said to his girlfriend.
How did Seb and Chris be this confident in talking with their girlfriend like this is beyond their mind because the women in their life are the scariest one and you know who wears the pants in their relationships obviously.
So, Scarlett and Lizzie reluctantly continue to climb the stairs and into Elia's room, laid the girl in the middle of the bed and they themselves get under the covers too.
"God, I don't know how this turn out to be worse a lot more" Lizzie said, with single tears stream down her face as she watches her daughter who were sleeping next to her
"Lizzie, I think she needs to know the truth" Scarlett said mumbling as she too watched Elia's sleeping figure.
This girl is their whole world. Scarlett has seen how far this girl has come, up close. She was there all along with Lizzie. So, she is Elia's mama's too. But you guys already know who the first one is in Elia's heart. It's always Lizzie. Always will.
"No. She can't Scarlett. She's suffered too much and I know how she'll react when she knows the truth and it won't do any good to any of us nor herself. Did you see how broken her heart was when she said that she's not the one who killed Jamie? I can't. I'll just have to protect her with everything in this world" Lizzie replied, whispering as to not wake her daughter up.
"She deserves the truth Lizzie. Even if the truth that will crumble her down, at least she got us. We'll be in every step of the way" Scarlett argues.
"Not yet. I'll tell her but not anytime soon. I need to focus on her recovery first. She needs it" Lizzie stated.
Scarlett reluctantly agrees as she doesn't want to let Lizzie think that she doesn't support her. Scarlett will always support Lizzie's decision but Scarlett also knows that what Lizzie's doing isn't right even if her intentions are pure on protecting her daughter's emotion.
"Well then, we better get our sleep and we have lots of things to catch up with the boys soon" Scarlett changes the subject as she snuggles close to Elia, kissing the back of Elia's head as she's currently snuggled under her mother. And with that, both women fall asleep with Elia.

-4 hours later-
It is 12 in the afternoon. Meaning it was lunch time and the girls are still peacefully sleeping in Elia's bed.
This also means they'll wake up soon. Seb and Chris decided to order their lunch from Olive Garden and waited for the girls.
A little while later, Elia could hear hush conversation and she could feel someone rubbing her back and playing with her hair. Elia shots awakes with startles and a gasps of air
Lizzie who were having Elia in her arms immediately tighten the hug as she feels her daughter's body tense and hearing her daughter's gasps
"Hey, hey, you're okay baby. Mama's here, shh, it's okay. I'm here, you're okay, you're with mama and Aunt Scarlett" Lizzie comforts her daughter softly while continuously rubbing Elia's back and Scarlett combing Elia's hair smoothly too.
Physical contact could keep her grounded from the non-reality she's having, that's for sure.
After hearing her mother's voice and the familiar touches, Elia opens her eyes and looks up to see her mother is indeed the one who was holding her, she sighs in relief. Elia then looked on her back and found her Aunt Scarlett looking back at her with a smile and concerned face.
Well, everyone will be concerned obviously on how she awakes just now. She somehow got worse. She can't even sleep without waking up with a surprise.
Elia lay her head on her pillow back after using her mother's chest comfortably.
"Good.... afternoon?" Elia said after looking at the time on her bedside table. She didn't remember what time she woke up this morning but she doesn't expect to sleep in this late.
"Um-hm good afternoon baby" Lizzie replied, chuckling and lean in to press a kiss on Elia's head
"I thought you guys will be here before dinner?" Elia asks confusedly
"There's nothing more there so we decided to get back home early" Scarlett replied, shrugging her shoulders.
Elia just nodded her head in understanding. But her mind quickly goes everywhere, especially to her nightmares this morning.
How did Lily get in her dreams? And why did she say that Elia's the one who killed Jamie? It stings so much to Elia when she says it like that. How can Elia be the one who killed Jamie when she's also barely survived the accident.
And more importantly how the hell did Lily know about the accident? But then she realizes, the finale season was on worldwide. Obviously when there's an accident and a death, it'll go viral.
But at the same time, The Drew's is not the one who cared about this kind of stuff. They do watch news and read the news online but they don't read this kind of news.
But then again, Jamie's death and Elia's accident must've gone so viral because they came across with their kind of news. And Elia is Elizabeth Olsen and Sebastian Stan's daughter. Obviously the entire world knows this.
God, there's a lot of buts. Elia still didn't checked her social media as to she didn't want to relived about 'that day'
Elia spaces out face, staring at the ceiling with her eyebrows furrowed must've made the two occupants in her bed worried because they were looking at her with nothing but concern and Lizzie slowly rubbing Elia's arm to snap her back into the reality.
Elia blinked several times and shakes her head
"Hey, what's going on with that pretty head of yours?" Scarlett asks and Elia swears she could hear the worriedness in her Aunt's voice.
"Can I ask you guys a question?" Elia said
"What is it baby?" Lizzie said as she intrigued on knowing what is going on in her daughter's mind right now.
"It's been 2 months, did we still not know who the person behind all of the chaos that happened that day?" Elia asks nervously
Elia did not see the worried glance that Lizzie and Scarlett exchange
"No baby. We still don't have any answer for that" Lizzie answered.
"Why El?" Scarlett asks
"I just wanna know" Elia replied shortly
"You just wanna know who?"
"I just wanna know why they did that. I just wanna know what we did wrong? What did Jamie do wrong that they had to do what they were doing on that day? And I wanna know is it worth it? Because Jamie is gone because of them" Elia explains
No, Scarlett has doubts right now on whether to let Lizzie tell Elia the truth or not. Because Elia is not strong on her mind right now and with what The Drew's might say to her about what she wants to know, they know Elia will fall apart harder than this.
But it is still wrong though to lie to her. She deserves to know and it will make things hard when Elia knows the person who she loves lied to her, betrayed her trust.
They just simply go silent, not knowing what to respond. Nervous and guilt eating them on the inside but they still don't think it was a good idea to tell Elia the truth yet. Soon but not now. Elia had enough for the time being. Let her recover first.
"Come on, it's lunch time. Wash your face and then we'll get downstairs" Lizzie said, changing the subject and guiding Elia to her bathroom while Lizzie did the same.
--------------------
Oh, Elia is starting to overthinking everything..... The Mama's intention are trying to protect Eliana but they didn't realize they'll hurt her more than what it supposed to be the truth. But at least Scarlett realize it right? Will she be the one who told Elia? Idk, guess we have to wait ;)
