Our Way With Words (Elizabeth Olsen x Reader)

Chapter 4: Sarah??

Friday

"Robbie please can we at-least have a conversation that last a bit longer than five minutes even if it's on the phone" Lizzie huffed in frustration. Her nails were were now constantly playing with the fabric on the end of her shirt. "I'm on tour what do you expect me to do?"

"I shouldn't expect you to do anything I would just hope that you wouldn't mind putting some time aside when I tell you I want to discuss something important with you" the man on the other line took a deep breath obviously annoyed with his wife who kept bringing up this so-called serious thing she had to talk to him about. "Alright I have around ten minutes so what is it?" Lizzie sat on her dining room chair preparing herself to bring up the topic.

She began to fiddle with her fingers much more, at this point not even hiding it "well we've been married for a while now and I was wondering when you want to plan and have children?" The line went silent. It was as if the only thing she could hear was her own racing heart beat. "Where did this come from? You've never asked about kids before"

"I've always asked you about kids you just never listened but my therapist, she has a kid and she seems so happy I mean for god sake Robbie the woman's not even married and she's still happy, can you imagine how happy we could be with a child of our ow-"

"Oh so someone you know has a child and all of a sudden you have to go and ask for one"

"No no that's n-"

"No Elizabeth, it's not going to work like that alright babe, I'm too busy to raise a kid and your way to busy, like how are you going to balance work and a child especially pregnancy" Lizzie slumped further into the chair already feeling drained from conversation "w-well I would just take family leave that's fine and then when the baby is born I would stay away from acting for a few years, you know raise the child properly with my full attention"

"Yeah no Elizabeth, you asked me how I felt about kids and I'm saying no, I don't want any, we won't be good parents you won- it's just not for us right now alright I got to get back to practise I love you" the Olsen sighed and heard as he hanged up the call. She placed her mobile onto the table and took a deep breath in. The lump in her throat was getting larger and was getting much more difficult for her to control but she didn't want to break yet. No not yet. She had too much stuff to do.

Her phone rang again, she hoped it was her husband telling her he was wrong and that starting a family was the best idea to fix there almost tethered marriage but when she looked at the ID she recognised it to be her best friend. She answer the phone and put it on speaker "hey Aubrey"

"Welll hello my sunshine how are you today" Elizabeth couldn't help but laugh, that's what Aubrey always did to her, no matter what the situation was Aubrey was always able to put some sort of smile on her face and the actress was greatful "I'm okay just getting ready to head to set"

"Ohhh okay" Aubrey said as it sounded like she was driving. Aubrey could tell something was up with her best friend but she didn't want to force her to tell her, not just yet anyways. "I called because I wanted to know if your still going to the event tomorrow?"

The Olsen raised her eyebrows "what event? You haven't told me anything" Aubrey mentally slapped herself for forgetting to mention it to the blond, "sorry Liz I forgot to tell you, it's just a small gathering between a few famous companies and there employees, it happens like three times a year I'm surprised Robbie hadn't taken you since he goes there every year" the blond slouched even further into her chair and pinched the bridge of her nose.

Now even more things she has to ask him. "I never knew- I mean he never told me" Aubrey just shrugged it off knowing from experience that asking too many questions about her best-friends relationship would lead to Elizabeth just being more frustrated and that was something Aubrey never wanted to do. "How about I pick you up tomorrow around 6ish since the party is at 7 is that okay Liz?"
