I Can't Let You Go

2020

"You look worried," Ben stated after they got off the plane and walking towards the exit. "Milly?"
"No. No everything is fine." she sighed, and placed her phone back in her pocket. She couldn't reach Kit, he did not pick up his phone, and he was not even reachable. His phone was off and that never meant good. 
"Give him some space. He was there with you during the holidays, maybe he needs some free time." Ben continued mocking her. 
"He told me when he left to call him when I arrive back," Em answered. "He called me when we got to the plane, but I couldn't pick up, and now I can't call him back. That is why I..." she tried to explain.
"You worry too much. I thought this vacation did some good thing with you. Reassure you and everything." Ben laughed at her and placed his arm around her shoulder. 
"Okay, you won." Emilia pulled a face. "Maybe I really worry too much," she admitted, and they reached the parking lot. 

Kit was sitting on a plane and there was no signal. He already knew and hated the situation he was in, but he had no other choice. He leaned back in the seat, and he tried to think. He tried to call her and tell her what is going on, and he had to leave, but she did not have a signal in the hotel, and she just declined his call last time. He already saw in front of his eyes, this won't be easy and they're going to have a debate. "Fuck" he sighed and turned to the window. He saw nothing else just the huge blue ocean below. 

"It was amazing. Next time you have to come with me." Emilia told Lola on the phone, while she was packing out. "Seriously. It was the best holiday period I've ever had." she giggled a bit.
"Even without him?" Lola asked her.
"Ahm... he was there. Long story. He was there until 1 January. We spent ... it was soo..."
"I don't care about your amazing sex rides Milly." Lola stopped her with a laugh. "I know he is a sex god, you still told me too much about it, and I envy you already."
"We were with my family Lola." Emilia sat to the edge of the bed. "It was not just about sex." 
"What is wrong?" Lola heard in her voice. 
"You know me too well." Em sighed. 
"So?" 
"I can't reach him and I have a bad feeling. That is all. Maybe I am just tired." she took a deep breath. "Maybe he is just shooting, or with his brother, or ... it can be anything."
"You should sleep a bit. And I hope you did not forget our theatre plans for tomorrow." She reminded Emilia.
"Oh Gosh, tomorrow is 4 January, right?"
"It is Clarke. I am gonna kill you if you forget it. You know how hard it was to get tickets." Lola freaked out.
"Don't worry. I'll be there if you let me sleep now." she giggled a bit. They put down the phone and she laid over the bed. Okay, Ben and Lola are totally right, she has just overstressed the situation. There is nothing wrong with Kit. Probably he is just working and there is nothing else. She is going to have a huge deep sleep, and Kit will be there when she wakes up. She convinced herself, and it did not take too long for her to fell into a deep sleep.

"Kit Harington himself. You look amazing!" Dan greeted him at the huge hall at the 20th Annual AFI Awards in Los Angeles. "Alone? I thought..."
"I did not even want to come." He pulled a face "But Mariana told me I don't really have a choice."
"She was right." David stepped next to him and stretched his hand. Kit hesitated for a moment, then he shook it. "You know as long as you are under HBO's flag..."
"The show is over." Kit stopped him before he could continue.
"But you are nominated for one of the highest television awards." David frowned. "So Mariana is right, HBO insisted you be here. And it is understandable. You have the only one nomination." David turned to the crowd and looked around. 
"I don't know it fills me with pride or rather a pity." Kit smirked a bit. He did not care about his words. Not anymore. It was the last few days, which he has to spend in HBO's knot. When it is over they won't push him to anywhere in the name of that epic series. 
"Where is Rose?" Dan tried to distract the conversation. "I thought... you two will attend together."
"At the Globes, not here. At least give me some space and air here. Without her." Kit tried to smile, and he lowered his voice. "We better go inside," he added and left them there. He pulled out his phone from his pocket and wanted to try to make a call but Mariana appeared next to him immediately.
"Not now. The photographers are waiting for you." she adjusted his collar and guided him to the red carpet.
