Way Back When (Elizabeth. O)

Elizabeth's POV:

Age of Ultron Cast Meeting

"Okay, but it could be a different Mia Langley." I suggest, making myself look a little deluded and panicky.

"Okay, what does your Mia look like, and we'll compare, just to be sure." Scarlett says and I dig deep into my memories with her to find one that I can begin to describe her off of. I decide on the one where she came to pick me up on our date. The date where we sat on the edge and cuddled as we watched the sun dip over the horizon.

"We'll, she has beautiful brown eyes that turn a slight green in the sun. She's got long brown hair that parts neatly in the middle, there's also a silver strip in the back of her hair on the right side of her head. She's got a small scar above her right eye because she fell off a bike. Her smile is wide and her teeth a perfect, her laugh is amazing and just the sound of it is bound to put a smile on your face. She's fairly tall, about 5'7, maybe 5'8 in heels, but she hates heels. And her nose is cute and I envy that so much."

"Yep, that's Mia." Chris speaks out finally. I realise in that moment that I got completely lost in my description of her, that I've veered completely off the focus of the conversation. And only when Chris speaks up do I snap back to the reality where I'm not in her arms, and insulting the smell of vanilla on her jumper.

"Okay, okay. So she lives here, in LA? What is she going to say when I'm cast?" I ramble, slightly panicking.

"She's knows you've been cast, Liz." Hemsworth says from his seat next to Aaron. For someone I've seen and noticed be very extroverted, he's been very quite tonight.

"She probably has a script already." Robert adds. Why would she have a script?

"Why's that?" I ask, saying what's on my mind. I still don't think I've comprehended the fact that our paths are going to cross paths wether I like it or not. And to be quite frank, it scares the shit out of me.

"We'll because she has to read the comics, she reads the script, the dialogue, she watches movies and she creates the suits. She's also on set a lot because of changes in normal clothes too, so when we're not in our Avengers uniform." Robert replies, he's like a genius when it comes to knowing about directing and all of things that go on behind the scenes.

"Oh, so you see her a lot then?" I ask and he nods. Oh god what have I gotten myself into? I'm going to have to see her and speak to her and it's going to be immensely awkward, and I don't even know how she'll react. Hell, I don't know how I'll react.

As my mind creates fake scenarios and conversations, I think about the necklace and what she'll say when she realises that I still wear it. Then the longer I overthink it, the worse it gets. She doesn't know that I still love her, she doesn't know that I stopped loving her.

"Liz, relax it's going to be okay. She's an amazing woman, she plays with Mackie and Seb on set, she taught Scarlett how to play poker." Chris says, his words laced with his thick Aussie accent. It's really soothing actually, and with his either serious and kind, or happy and joyful nature it really suits him.

"Hey, you said you wouldn't tell anyone that." She barks, and I for one would not like to be on Scarlett's bad side, she just strikes me as a no nonsense friend.

And while they bicker some more I get lost in the fake scenarios that my brain always throws me in when I get nervous. I think how im going to have to speak to her. What do I say? "Hey, I know I broke your heart but how you doing?" It's going to be a nightmare for me.
