**-3 YEARS AGO- 2014-**
YOUR POV:
I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna tell me best friend I'm in love with her. Probably not the best idea but she keeps on talking about this idiot and it's annoying me so much. So I'm gonna do it. I'll probably regret it but it might be worth it? I don't even know anymore
I invited scarlett around to my house hoping she won't get up and leave as soon as I tell her. She doesn't even know I'm a *YOUR SEXUALITY* so I don't know how she will react.
I hear a knock at my door and you know, obviously I'm nervous and I'm pretty sure I'm shaking but I don't really care right now.
"Hey *YOUR NAME*!" God her smile is gorgeous. And her hair. And her face. And her personality. And everything else about her.
"Hey scar. How are you?"
"I'm fine. I was wondering how you were you sounded really panicky when you invited me." Oh god this is happening
"Oh yeah no don't worry about that it's fine. Come in go sit down". As she makes her way past me to the couch, I shut the door and lean my forehead against it letting out a Shakey breath. I gather myself and follow her voice to my living room.
"So not that I'm complaining, I love hanging out with you, but why am I?" Oh Jesus.
"Uhm I just needed to tell you something really. It's quite important but I don't want you to hate me for it but I also don't want you treat me any differently because of this. But also if you don't wanna be my friend anymore I'll understand beca-" i stop speaking when Scarlett grabs my hands gently and tells me to stop rambling and to calm down and all that shit people say to you when you're panicking. You know the cliche stuff.
" Just tell me"
" So I'm *YOUR SEXUALITY* and I may or may not like you as more than a friend and obviou-"
"What? You like me?"
"Possibly?" I let out a shocked breath when she gets up from my couch and picks up her bag as she leaves my house mad doesn't look back. I'm sort of frozen in place. I mean I knew there was a possibility of her walking out but I didn't think she actually would.
Welp.
Don't really know what to do now.
I try calling her an texting her at least 20 times and she doesn't pick up so I sort of leave it for tonight. Maybe she just needs time to process, to figure out what she wants to do from now. You know?
It's been a week since and I must have called at least a hundred times. She hasn't answered. As times gets on I slowly stop calling and texting her. It's now been about a year. I also used to go to set with scar and sometimes Elizabeth as she was quite a close friend. Liz and I haven't grown apart although what happened between me and Scarlett has caused a bit of tension as Lizzie never knew what to say when we would talk about the cast. So we never brought it up. I don't have a clue what Scarlett is doing right now, she doesn't even have social media.
**2 YEARS LATER**
It's been 3 years. The longest three years of my life. Me and Scarlett have been close friends, besties, even roommates at one point, colleagues too.
Lizzie got invited to a cast party for the newest marvel film that came out. She finally convinced me to go after about 12 hours of persuasion. So currently I'm waiting for Lizzie and her driver to pull up outside my home and give me a lift to the party because I can't be bothered to drive to a fancy party with people who I haven't seen ages. Although I have seen Jeremy, Chris E, and Paul so it shouldn't be that bad. I guess?
I'm a nervous wreck right now, I haven't seen Scarlett in 3 years and tonight I'm gonna see her.
I hear the car pull up outside and I receive a text from Lizzie

Shut up

I switch my phone off and shake my head at the conversation I just had. I walk to my front door and open it to see her car at the end of the driveway. I turn around to lock my door and start to walk qUiCkLy over to her car -i don't actually walk quickly everybody just says I do. I open her car door and climb in starting to buckle my seatbelt and straight away it hits me AGAIN that I'm going to see Johansson and my leg starts bouncing up and down and I subconsciously start to bite my lip. Lizzie notices my anxiousness and puts her hand on my knee to stop it from bouncing and she reassures me that it will be okay.
We eventually pull up to the building where the party is taking place, me and Lizzie both get out as we shut the doors and stand at the entrance. Okay okay okay, calm down.
"I changed my mind I'm going home" I start to turn as Lizzie grabs my hand and spins me back around.
"You got all dressed up. We don't want that going to waste, your are going to this damn party and you will enjoy yourself. Okay?"
"No."
"Tough I will drag you if I have too. You might not even see her it's a pretty big party"
" Yeah but stillllll"
She starts to slowly drag me as I pull back a little, secretly wanting to go but also not. We enter through the double doors and see how packed it is. My god it's a lot of people.
"Come on. Look here is Chris"
Chasey girl pulls me over to Chrissy boy as I reluctantly walk slightly behind her still with her hand on my wrist to make sure I don't make a runner or something.
"Hello Christina"
"I don't like *YOUR NAME*"
"well you aren't exactly my favourite so I will live" I reply with a sly smirk as he pulls me and Liz into a hug. He releases us from his grip as him and Lizzie engage in a conversation about something or other. I sort of zone out until I catch a glimpse of Scarlett Johansson out of the corner of my eye and by the looks of it she saw me too because she is full on staring at me as I slightly look at her.
I start to increasingly panic and excuse myself to the bathroom. It's like a maze. I think it took me five minutes to find the damn toilets in this place it's huge. I lean on the sink and stare at myself in the mirror trying to control my breathing. I hear a loud knock on the door.
"I'll be out in a second" I shout to whoever is outside.
They keep knocking on the damn door so I open it to see the INCREDIBLY good looking Blondie stare into my fucking soul.
She suddenly pushes me back into the bathroom mad locks the door behind her.
I again sort of freeze just like I did 3 years ago when this bitch walked out of my house and never spoke a word to me again.
"What are you doing Scarlett?"
"So about 3 years ago I walked out your house and haven't spoke to you since bu-"
"Really? I didn't fucking notice that you completely walked out of my life and never even responded to any of my texts."
"No *YOUR NAME* listen, I'm sorry I was just a bit uncomfortable that you liked me and I didn't know what to do be-"
"Scarlett you could have fucking told me that but no. You being you just walked away"
"*YOUR NAME* I'm sorry but I just didn't really want to be around you at that time. I didn't even know you were gay-"
"Is the issue that I'm gay or that I liked you?"
"That you liked me Jesus Christ I'm not homophobic I just felt uncomfortable. Why can't you understand that?"
" I can Scarlett I can understand that you were confused but you you could have at least text me and told me you didn't want to speak to you rather than just walking a fucking way."
"I get that your mad but just let it go it isn't that deep"
" Scarlett fucking Johansson, you were my best friend since we were like 16 and you fucking left! That hurts. It hurts so much, and you didn't even consider how I felt. All you cared about was yourself so quite frankly I'm leaving now and walking away just like you did."
And with that I push past her and walk out the bathroom leaving her stood there as I make my way to Lizzie and tell her I'm gonna head home. When she wonders why I just tell her I'm not feeling well and judging by her face she doesn't believe it but let's it go when I promise her I will tell her tomorrow.
I make my way out of that party;
Out of that building;
Out of Scarlett Johansson's life.
