your mum, Erin Doherty, gets a call from the new show she will be starring in along side your favourite actresses of all time, Olivia Colman and Helena Boham Carter. Little does she know... her little princess is falling for her work colleague!
a/n HEY! so this is my first story thanks to hellieswife for the motivation, so its sorta dodgy, but YOLO! -ti x
That evening.. I decided to pick out my outfit for tonight, i wanted to give off the vibe of 'casual but wanting to be noticed by the hot middle-aged actress that would be attending'

We called our driver to make sure they were able to come and get us before and after the greeting party.
I was nervous, petrified to be exact. I dont really do parties due to my mental health, so i do try my hardest to avoid them.
Half an hour later we arrived to what looked like a castle, not the sort of castle that you would just go and visit on a trip to Wales, but a castle that was made for princesses! As we walked in we was greeted with drinks, me with a diet coke and my mum with champagne (such a mum drink at a celebration dont you think?) and then we walked off to go meet the director, Benjamin Caron.
"Erin, how lovely it is to see you again!" he projected.
"hello Ben, how have you been? this is my daughter y/n!" she responded.
"its so lovely finally being able to meet you! you have created such a non-fictional world, yet made it so fantasying and so full of drama!" i explained, i could not believe i was standing in front of the person who had helped all my issues disappear yet made my brain study even harder in history.
"its a pleasure! wow, you look just like your mum! i would like you to meet a few people y/n for a while, just while i talk to your mum about her role in the show. Would that be an issue?" hes asked. He was such a sweet and caring soul, he sounded as though he was a royal himself.
"y/n gets bad anxiety when it comes to party so i think-" i interrupted my mum, for the reason i didnt want everyone to think her childs mental health was bringing her down.
"no thats alright! take her by all means and needs, ill just go sit over there but ill be okay." i lied. I couldnt possibly bring her down after she waited for this role for a while! She gave me such a sweet and gentle smile as i walked away so they could talk.
I made my way to the couch, however, as i sat down next to the woman, i heard the famous, iconic crackle from no one other than herself MISS HELENA BONHAM CARTER! She was delicate, a gem! A jewel! A CROWN jewel (no pun intended)!
Her hair was messed yet it was so beautiful and up away from her deep, chocolate eyes. Her dress went just above her knee and was covered in flowers and crystals.
"oh im sorry my love! Did i startle you?" she asked politely. Her voice was like an angel itself and her she sent like sweet vanilla and flowers as she pulled me in for a hug.
"No, no its alright! I just wasnt expecting it..or you- i mean- to actually see you- your like- HELL! YOUR HELENA FLIPPING BONHAM CARTER!" she giggled.
"In the flesh my darling"
'my darling, how hellie ill be YOUR darling alright!'
"who have you came to accompany? Who is the lucky man to have such a beautiful, sweet girl by his side?" she asked. I chuckled at the marks she made about the word 'man', it was quite hilarious.
"Im here with my mum, Erin Doherty? The new lead for your on-screen niece?" i questioned. she looked at me as if to say 'who?' until i pointed over to her.
"Ohhhhh yes, Erin! Wow, you look so much alike." i took that as a compliment as me and my mum always get confused as sisters after having me at age 21.
"And to answer your question before, i prefer women. I feel as though a man tells me how to run my life and that is something i stand against strongly. I want to feel free, like when i read poetry or something." i answered.
"Oh yes i strongly agree, but i dont mind, i just date whoever i feel attracted too and i if i feel a connection then so be it... oh and the poetry! ive never met someone who feels the same way about poetry! its gives you the power of freedom yet so locked in place at this fantasy!"
We talked for the rest of the night. The more we got to know each other, the more Helena drank. Of course i just stuck to my diet coke but this woman was more than 'a bit tipsy'.
It came to 11:15pm and everyone was leaving, all except me and my mum, Helena, Josh and Olivia. I spoke to the remaining people but not as much as i did with her. Not because she was my celebrity crush since a young age, i feel as though she and i felt the same connection, not just about the poetry..
