Elizabeth's POV:



Age Of Ultron Cast Dinner


"Hey, Liz, I have a question?" Chris says, making all of them snigger, it's never a good sign when he says that. He's not that great with boundaries so I expect to hear a very outgoing and slightly personal question.

"Yeah, go ahead." I say and lean back on my chair. The fact we've all had something to drink is also nerving, I've never been confident. I've always been slightly anxious and shy.

"What's the deal with the necklace, because I know ML aren't Robbie's initials." He says, I instinctively take my hand and grab the necklace. I've never told anyone about the necklace, not even Robbie, which he has pressed me about. I always use the excuse of a family member like an aunt or a uncle, even though it was a complete lie.

"You don't have to answer that Lizzie, he's just being Chris." Scarlett says and takes a seat next to me, putting on leg under the other and sitting on her ankle, her arm on the back of the chair.

"No, it's fine. It's about time I tell someone the truth." I say and take a deep breathe before telling the story. It's been such a long time and I've told so many lies that sometimes the story doesn't even make sense to me, and I get angry at myself, because I swore to never leave her, and I did.

"When I was young there was this girl." I begin but I'm instantly cut off by a slightly tipsy Chris Evans. I've known these people for a couple of weeks and they already feel like family to me, I loved them more than I could ever love someone non-romantically.

"Was she a girlfriend?" Chris asks.

"Yes, she was. Her name was Mia and she was the only one to ever love me for who I am. I've never met a more kind hearted, supportive and wildly attractive woman in my life. And I probably wouldn't be here right now if it weren't for her, she was the one person that made everything worth it." I continue, reflecting on all of the amazing times that me and Mia had when we were young.

"What happened?" Robert asks, I take a moment while I contemplate wether or not I want to answer the question. I decide to get it off my chest seeing as I've never done it to anyone that didn't know Mia.

"I left."

I just couldn't say goodbye

I'm at the airport, waiting for my plane to be ready to board. And as arrogant and selfish as it may seem, I feel like it couldn't come fast enough. I know what I've done is despicable and Mia, and my family, both have the right to hate me, and I hate me too.
