all too well; freddy carter

ೃ⁀➷ 13 real life

*ೃ༄ october 28, 2019

as amelia parked her car, she wondered if she could just run away. she didn't want to do. matthew just messaged her, asking if they could talk about 'them.' not that she thinks there's a 'them.' there was a part of her that wanted to try and date him, he was sweet—after all. but there was a part of her, the more logical part, that reminded her what happens to any relationship she builds.

there was also the issue of freddy carter. the man she once considered the love of her life. who, just so happens to be, the man who plays her love interest. sort of. the only comfort that amelia has had for the past few days is that freddy wasn't technically her love interest. ben was.

"amelia!" the voice of jessie mei li shatters amelia's wishful thinking of running away. amelia slowly turns around and smiles at the sight of her co-worker and her dog. jessie lets go of kal's leash and the golden retriever runs as fast as he could.

"kal!" amelia shouts as the dog jumps high and has his paws on her chest, making her fall to the ground. "shit, that hurt!"

"uh, oh!" jessie exclaimed as they run towards amelia. "are you okay?"

"yeah," amelia said, laughing as she began petting kals' head. the dog eagerly let her, his tail wiggling from behind. "when you've had kal for over five years, you get to him jumping on you and hitting your head."

jessie laughs and the two of them stand up. "i'm so glad you're here! i also can't believe you're first scene is with me."

"sucks i'll have to be a bitch to you, though," amelia jokes. the two of them continue walking and she spots the rest of the cast sitting together inside the tent; eating.

another reason of concern was that amelia was scared of feeling out of place. her cast-mates were given the opportunity to bond during the days she was filming black widow, she was scared they wouldn't talk to her or she wouldn't be able to catch up with their inside jokes.

but the worry faded when kit saw and ran up to them. "amelia!" he exclaimed as he wrapped his arms around her, practically strangling her.

amelia lets out a laugh but pauses when she makes eye contact with freddy. had she not know freddy so well, she would have thought he was emotionless. but she did. and she knew to look at the small things. like how he hid his smile by coughing or how he continued eating with his head low to preven calahan skogman, who was in front of him, from seeing said smile.

"hey, guys," amelia said as she approached the table, kit's arms around her. kal, who was previously behind her, jumps on the table and lies down beside freddy; his face on freddy's lap and his tail to amelia.

"this is so unfair," danielle galligan said. "freddy is kal's favourite! and we have no idea why. kal just always runs towards freddy and begging him for cuddles."

freddy looks up at amelia and the two of them share a knowing look. a look only two people who have been in love with each other for over a decade could share. a look only two people who bought that dog could share. a look only the two of them could share.
