The daughter of Alan Rickman

i had to tell her

I had told her. Everything. I had to. The drugs. The cutting. everything
Helena - Allie
she wiped my cheek as a tear fell down
Helena - Don't social services know about this
Allie - Yes, they've been trying to find me a placement for years but nobody wants a teenager
Helena - Awh Allie
She pulled me into another bear hug
She motioned over to a makeup lady
Helena - Rima, could you grab some bandages and tape for my dear friend Allie
Rima ran  off to get bandages and tape
She came back and began wrapping my arm up
Allie - I'm really sorry, this isn't your job
Rima - Don't be silly, you are beautiful
Helena left to make some phone calls
She bounded back in
Helena - I've just spoken with Hannah and i'd you want to you can come to dinner tonight with some of the cast members and me!
Allie - i would love to!
I thanked Rima for bandaging me up
Helena - Come on let's go, it's freezing
We got in Helena car
It was a small blue mercedes with cds all over the dashboard and smelt exactly like her. Flowers and cinnamon
Helena - Do you mind if i play music
Allie - Not at all
She had the weirdest yet best music taste ever
One minute it was jazz and the next was nicki minaj
She was the best person i ever met
we arrived at the hotel after what felt like 30 seconds but Turned out to have been an hour.
Helena – Meet me in the lobby at six tonight
Allie - okay i'll see you there!
A few of the other cars were arriving from set
I got into the lift again
and who was there
Alan - I heard your coming to dinner tonight?
Allie - Well- Yes
Alan - i never got to congratulate you earlier, you've impressed everyone
Allie - thanks I mean it was all because of you
The lift pinged
Alan- Well i'll see you later then allie?
Allie - Yes
I skipped down the hall and landed on my fresh white linens. I was so happy. I was still upset about earlier but i was trying to forget it
Besides
I was going to dinner with helena bonham carter
I had the perfect outfit
My white turtleneck
My black, nike, vintage oversized jumper that i managed to find in a tk maxx
By blue ripped jeans with fishnets underneath
Oh and my docs
This was the only outfit i had that was semi-nice
I had saved up for months to get some new clothes
*Time skip 5:55*
I was ready
I put a bit of highlighter on the inner corners of my eyes and a tiny bit of lipgloss on
I headed downstairs to wait for Helena
*6:01*
The lift pinged and out stepped alan
Alan - Oh allie, Helena had to run to the restaurant to figure something out so i offered to take you
Why the hell would alan offer to take me to-
Alan - You can just stand in the lobby
He smiled with a glint in his eye
We got into his car. it was the polar opposite of Helenas. A sleek black mercedes with a men's cologne air freshener and chewing gum packets in the cup holders. incredibly clean
Alan - Helena told me about your living situation
Shit
Allie - Well- Yes-
I could feel the tears spiking in my eyes
Alan - just to let you know, i'm sorting it
What did that mean?
He was 'sorting it'
what could that possibly mean
i tried to put it out of my mind and focus on the dinner. But i couldn't stop thinking about what Alan said.
Alan - penny for your thoughts?
Allie - I- well- I'm just really happy to be here
Alan - Ye well not many of the kids get special treatment like you
Allie - Ye i'm really lucky
We arrived at the restaurant it was a small italian restaurant with a small and well-lit inside, it immediately relaxed you when you walked in.
Helena saw me and gasped
Helena - Allie my darling you look gorgeous!
she pulled me into another one of her bear hugs
She sat me down right in the middle of the table
On my left was Helena and on my right was Alan and opposite me was Jason, I had spoken to him briefly but not too much, I hadn't seen him without his wig or costume on, he just looked like a dad, a happy, friendly dad. I saw Dave Legeno talking to him, he looked mighty different as well, him as fenrir was scary as hell. The waiter came over and i had been gawping at everyone i hadn't even looked at the menu.
Waiter - and what can u get for the little lady
I scanned the menu quickly
Allie - Just a margarita pizza for me please
I handed the waiter my menu
Waiter - A margarita for the little lady
He scribbled down
He took everyone else's orders and happily plodded over to the kitchen
Jason - So what do you do back home Allie
Allie - Oh I work at the library.. but i also love going on walks with my mum
I was so used to lying about my home life
I could see Alan and Helena get uncomfortable knowing I was lying
They exchanged a look and put their hands on my knees
Alan gave me a reassuring look and pulled me into a hug
Alan - It'll be alright
he whispered in my ear
I took a deep breath and smelt his cologne
I felt home, like i had known him forever.
Waiter - And a margarita for the little lady
I sat up as the biggest pizza i've ever seen was placed in front of me
Allie - I- Wow-
Everyone else's food arrived
mine was still the biggest meal i had ever had and seen.
Helena - I'm sure some people around the table can help you with that
Tom looked at my pizza hungrily
Allie - Please feel free
I motioned towards my pizza and he picked up a slice, smiling.
The meal went on, we laughed and joked
We were leaving and Tom ran up to me
Tom - Do you wanna come in my car, back to the hotel?
Allie - I- ye i'd love to
I wasn't sure but Alan gave me a reassuring look and i got in Toms car
We pulled out of the car park
The driver looked at me behind his sunglasses
Tom turned at me excitedly
Tom - So how are you?
Allie - Uh I'm good
Tom - I was just wondering if you maybe wanted to come here again
Allie - I- Ye sure?
Tom - but, just with me on my own
He looked shyly at me
I probably forgot to mention this
I had the biggest crush on Tom
Like...huge
We were the same age
But did he have a crush on me to??
You've stalled for too long now Allie, answer him
Allie - I'd love to
Tom - Okay great
We spoke the rest of the way back
Just about everything
He looked really interested at anything i said and i really liked that
I didn't imagine him to be this nice
We arrived back at the hotel in no time
Tom - Oh are you coming to set tomorrow?
Allie - Yeah
Tom - Do you wanna carpool with me again?
Allie - Id love to
I smiled at him
And walked back to my room
What a day
