SPOTLIGHT

Chapter 3 | Meeting Your Hero

Scarlett pov

I just finished the audition from the film y/n y/l/n was supposed to play and.. i got this from the back

It's time now tho to work on the project with her where Will be just having a meeting and talk about the schedules and roles.

It's been a week since the interview and kate has been telling me that the internet is hating me because it looked like i was giving the kid backhanded compliments

People are referring to me as a mean girl and she's the victim.. all i hear all week is y/n, y/n, y/n, and y/n. It's annoying and the amount of money I'd pay just to forget her name or even have a break on hearing it just for a minute

I've arrived at the meeting location which in this case is a cafe and quickly got approached and greeted by everyone

"Heyy, shall we start?" I asked sitting down

"Oh uhm.. y/n y/l/n is still not here" the producer says

" Isn't the call time 3pm? It's already 2:55" i huffed

" She texted me, she says she's gonna be on her way any minute now just dealing with something" one of the screenwriters says

We waited till 3:15.... 20 MINUTES AND WE CAN'T START BECAUSE HER ROLE IS JUST SO HAPPENED IMPORTANT AND THE ACTRESS IS ALSO JUST SO HAPPENED UNPROFESSIONAL

The cafe door opened and this lady comes in before sitting next to us wearing a sunglasses

" Finally you're here... Are you ok?" The screenwriter asks

" Yeah.. finally... Can we just start?" I asks and they all looked at her but she just nodded

I'm surprised to be honest, she's not even looking at me and just sitting there still with her sunglasses

"Before we start, shall we introduce our selves first?" The producers asks

They all says their names and what are their positions as staffs and some as actors

"Uhmm.. I'm Scarlett Johansson" i smiled playfully hearing them chuckle as i shaked all their hands

I shaked y/n's too of course but she just forced a smile swallowing thickly right after

The only person who hasn't spoke is this kid and it looks like she's not even processing

"Uhm y/n?" The director get her attention

"No need to bug her, maybe our lead actress just doesn't have the energy today and we all know who she is. No introduction needed" the producer playfully says

We continued and as I'm listening carefully this y/n is just sitting in the most perfect posture not moving like a statue

It's the first time we're actually gonna know the story and how it goes. I was just staring at the director while he explains everything and i also noticed how his shoulders move as y/n flinch stepped back dropping the coffee near her on her shirt

Great.. make a scene, that's the best you can do after being late for almost half an hour

"I-Im S-Sorry" she stutters standing up before running to the comfort room

Her voice sounded deep for a reason and just really shaky.

"I'll check on her" i stated also standing up earning everybody's nod while the waitress clean up the mess she made

As soon as i arrived at the bathroom she's just holding the sink not even trying to clean her shirt

"What's wrong with you?? Clean up, you're just delaying everything" i huffed frowning my brows

"I--"

"Come on just wipe that thing and go back there so we can finish this. Be professional" i cut her off

"I'm sorry....i was just having a rough day" she looked down

"And?? That's not a reason to make everybody's days rough. Not everything is about you and quit acting like you're a vip " i scoffed leaving her there and just get back on my seat

After i say 2 minutes she followed and just sit still again flinching occasionally looking so uncomfortable.

An hour after, the meeting ended. I immediately said my goodbye and went home first just because i still need to check on the office.

"Uhhh, please fix my day" i sigh to myself driving

I arrive at the building and everyone is on their phone which i assume was they're just sharing our products. As i sat down on the chair of my office i just rested my back and close my eyes in exhaustion

My phone suddenly light up and yet again it's another article

"Y/n Y/l/n found crying in front of a cafe" i read it making me roll my eyes

"She really likes attention this much? What kind of an attitude is thi--fans assumed It's because of her dog cloud.." i continued reading it cutting my self off getting softer unconsciously

"It was reported that y/n y/l/n's dog of 12 years passed away this afternoon..." The way my heart dropped

I've scrolled seeing the pictures of her without her sunglasses while wiping her tears. Her eyes were so puffy and red.. I've also clicked a video and it was her sobbing holding her chest while she hides her face on the table

I took a deep breath and just got off my phone to work on approving some papers but all i could think of is her..

The day ended and as usual i hopped on the shower but she keeps on popping up on my mind...feels like i wanna give her a hug or something like that

As soon as I've finished showering i lay on my bed and opened the tv. Nothing is really interesting and so i just watched the jimmy Fallon show

I was shocked...it was y/n and they're just both laughing and smiling which at some point it made me smile a little

"Nooo, seriously, literally and truly, Scarlett Johansson is my hero" y/n chuckles

"You sound like those little girls saying natasha Romanoff is their hero" jimmy laughs as y/n frowned her brows

" YOU SOUND LIKE A LITTLE GIRL" she defended herself playfully earning everyone's laugh

"hmm.. no wonder people like her" i hummed realizing she's actually endearing

"Yknow there was those times where I just wanna vanish like I'm ready to do anything just to stop the pain" she started

"And in all of those times where i was down. I'm just gonna put on a Scarlett movie or her old interviews and it would put a smile on my heart because she's just so cute and yknow" she smiles

"Soooo?" Jimmy playfully leaned

"Oh god, no I'm not gay" she the shaked her head laughing with everyone

"She looked like one" i tilt my head

"So uhm how did Scarlett Johansson impact you because yknow people are saying you're at her spotlight" jimmy asks

"First of all... I will never be in the same level as Scarlett Johansson.. she's a god yknow? And she's the only Scarlett Johansson and no one is gonna replace her and yknow when i was like holding for my dear life the only thing that kept me going is...you can't die, you still need to meet her" she stated genuinely seems like she's taking about someone so special for her

"So Scarlett Johansson truly is your hero" jimmy says

"Indeed...i would kill--oh no not kill but like yknow do a petty crime that doesn't require me to go to jail FOR Scarlett Johansson" she says making everyone laugh

Watching her talk about me is just making me moee guilty on how I've treated her...i felt like a little met her hero and that hero stabbed her multiple times with hurtful words.
