One (Elizabeth Olsen x Reader)

Chapter 5

Lizzie returned home late that night. When she walked in her home, Robbie engulfed her in a hug. He was worried for her. He had no idea how to know if she was safe or not.

"I'm sorry." She whispered as she wrapped her arms around him.

"It's ok." He replied as he squeezed her. "I'm just happy you're safe." He told her as he pulled back and cupped her face.

"Thank you." She whispered tiredly. "I'm just going to go to bed." She told him as he just nodded. He understands that she needs time and space right now. She knows that Y/N is not going to be coming back. She knows that she has to live her life without her best friend.

Y/N and Lizzie raced through the airport to meet halfway. When they did, Y/N wrapped their arms around her lifting her up in the air and spinning her around.

"I missed you superstar." Y/N said as they set her back on her two feet.

"I missed you too." She smiled as they took her luggage from her and held their arm out for her to hold. The two walked out of the airport and towards Y/N's car. "So, anything happen while I've been away. Have you met someone?" She asked them wriggling her eyebrows.

"Well there is someone." They spoke nervously. "Her name's Elle. She is really sweet. She's a medical intern."

"Wow. Smart and beautiful." She smirked at them.

"Yes she is." They said as they kept their eyes on the road. "What about you? I heard that their may be someone."

"There may be someone." She replied. "He worked on my latest project with me."

"Oh. Is he a good man?" They asked her.

"He is." She smiled thinking about Boyd.

"I guess I may need to have a little chat with this guy." They smirked as Lizzie just laughed. That is what Y/N is like. They are protective of her and she is just as protective of them.

Robbie watched as Lizzie slept. It seemed like she hadn't slept in a while. He hated seeing her like this and there not being anything that he can do to help her.

He was soon broken out of his thoughts when there was a knock on her door.

"Hi?" Robbie asked the unknown man who knocked late in the evening.

"Hi, I'm Boyd." He introduced himself. "I uh I heard about Y/N and I wanted to see if Lizzie was ok."

"She is finally getting some sleep." Robbie told him as he nodded.

"Please can you give these to her." He asked Robbie as he handed her a card and another envelope.

"I will." Robbie replied. Boyd gave a thankful smile before he started to walk away.

"Lizzie deserves the best." Boyd spoke as he turned back. "Y/N always made sure of that. They knew that it wasn't me. I wasn't the best for her but you may be. You might be the one who truly helps her through this."

Lizzie was sat on the stairs from waking up after hearing the door go. Robbie smiled at him before bidding goodbye. He smiled softly as he saw Lizzie's figure sat upon the stairs.

"That was Boyd." Robbie told her.

"I heard." She spoke bluntly. "What's that?" She asked referring to the envelope.

"He said that these were for you." He told her. She took them from him and walked to the kitchen. She opened the card and huffed reading those words over and over again.

Sorry for your loss

My dearest condolences

All of them are just meaningless words. No one truly means them. They only say them in hopes to make themselves feel better. That's all.

Lizzie then opened the envelope. It was a scrapbook of old polaroids she and Y/N had took while she still lived with Boyd. She must have forgotten about these.

The smiles on both of their faces in every one. The dates all signed on them too.

She also saw a note from Y/N on one of the two.

Y/N was sat in Lizzie's living room with Boyd as Lizzie was in the shower. They had the pen in their hand as they wrote something on the back of one.

'We all think that happiness comes without reason.
Truthfully it is formed from the people we surround ourselves with.
The people who care enough to do anything to make you smile.
So please never stop smiling Lizzie.
The world will become a dark place if you did.'

Boyd watched Y/N intently as they wrote.

"You really care about her don't you." He asked them as they looked at him.

"I do. I would do anything for her." They told him. "That includes beat your ass if you ever break her heart."

"Why didn't you and her ever end up together?" He asked them.

"We never saw each other like that." They told him honestly. "Yeah we love each other and want the other to be happy. But she is destined for this life and I am happy where I am."

"You're a teacher." He pointed out curiously.

"I am. I enjoy helping kids realise their dreams and help them on the right path to follow them." They told him. "I never had anyone in my life to help guide me like that. I am a child from the system. Sent to different families until they decide they're sick of my existence." Boyd felt bad for them not realising just how deep it went. "I never want a child to feel the way that I did. Feeling alone like you have no one to guide you. Then Lizzie and I became friends in Freshman year and we have been best friends ever since."

Lizzie smiled at the little poem in Y/N's handwriting. His card may not have spoke any words of comfort but this gesture spoke paragraphs. To have something that even she had forgotten about was something special. To see all of those memories again made her smile. Smiling at the memory of her best friend.
