Can't I Love You Both? - Hailee Steinfeld & Florence Pugh

March 18, 2021 New York

Hailee's POV

Since our night in the club on Saturday, the atmosphere is kinda weird on set. Mostly from Florence's side. She's been distancing from me and Jay since that morning and we don't really know the way. Sure, we got carried away in the club with the shots, but it's not a big thing. We didn't make a big thing from it, but, I guess, Florence took it like that.

Also, Zach is hanging out on the set much more, too much for my liking because he takes all Florence's free time. It's Thursday and we didn't go to lunch once. Jayden stays on the set all the time too, mostly to watch the couple.

We both don't have a good feeling about them, but we have no proof.

"Are you sure it's a good idea?" I ask quietly, sitting on Jay's lap after I finish my scene with the blonde.

"Yeah. I miss her and I know you do too, so if we have to go out with him then so be it" They reply and I hum, resting my head on their shoulder.

They wrap their arms around and pull me closer. I push my head into the crook of their neck and I take a deep breath, enjoying their scent. They always smell so good. We stay like this for a few minutes before my break ends and I go back to filming.

In the corner of my eye, I notice Zach and I cringe at his sight.

"You're ready, miss Belova?" I tease the blonde, who stands in front of me in her costume. We're filming an elevator scene right now, so she's in her green coat, while I'm in a black one.

"Oh, sure I am, miss Bishop. But are you ready for getting your arse kick?" She remarks and I gasp dramatically.

"Oh, wow, rude" I huff out, making the shorter girl snort.

"You started it" She shoots me a wink and I roll my eyes before we both stand in correct positions.

"Let's start!" The director yells and we nod as we get into our roles.

Fortunately, we're starting the scene after the slap, so I don't need to hit her. Even if it's very light, I still felt very bad about it.

"What was that?" Florence exclaims shocked in Yelena's voice

"I don't know" I mumble with a scared expression. "I-I" I breathe out quietly before I turn abruptly, reaching to the panel with buttons.

"No!" She yells out, grabbing my arm and I try to push her away from me, but she suddenly cries out and steps back. I immediately look back worriedly because it's not in the script.

"Cut!"

"Are you okay?" The director and I say at the same time, looking at the blonde, who's holding her arm with a grimace.

"I- Y-Yeah... I'm fine" Flo murmurs and blinks away, but I'm not convicted. "Can we take five?" She then asks the director who nods grudgingly and Florence leaves the set in a rush.

I look where Jayden were sitting, but they're not there.

"I'll check on her" I tell Rhys, our director, before I follow the blonde to her trailer.

As soon I approach it, I hear muffled yelling from outside. It alarms me, so I run inside without hesitation. I open the door in a rush and step inside, prepared for anything. But I didn't except to see furious Jayden and Florence in tears. Their heads snap to me and I flicker my eyes between them.

"What going on?" I ask cautiously and Flo looks at Jayden with a pleading look.

"Please..." She murmurs to them, making me even more confused.
