Amelia pov-
Danielle, Stefania and I had just finished filming for lunch, we were waiting for the cue to leave.

Kevin: "Great job you three, break for lunch we'll see you in a couple of hours." His strong Scottish voice echoed.

Dani reached out her hand for me, biting at nails I loosely rested my hand in hers walking back to the break room slowly with them. I wasn't particularly hungry. backing into the corner of the couch opening my book starting to lose myself in the words, I felt the tears brimming so I closed the book not wanting to embarrass myself. I lay my head in the pillow just listening to the conversation around me.

Danielle: "Stef gorgeous, can we go to Starbucks and then maybe that little shop to get something to eat?" She asked quickly. I didn't hear a response so I'm guessing she nodded since I heard movement. My eyes were closed.

Danielle: "Amelia, sunshine, do you want to come?" She asked placing her hand gently on my knee. I flinched hard. Damn it! I thought to myself as I shook my head no.

"I'm not to hungry, you guys go. I'll be okay here." I tell them. Dani gave me a raised eyebrow but started moving, I once again closed my eyes wanting my mind to rest for a minute. I heard the door open and close a couple times before my phone started singing and buzzing at me. When I finally brought myself to look I saw it was my dad, he was pissed at me, I'm not sure why. He knows where I am, he knows I'm getting him money for his choice of death.  I ignored the continuing buzz from my pocket, I wanted Danielle to be back already. Getting frustrated I slammed it down on the table siding my scrips causing Jaina and Barrett to pause their conversation. I sigh holding my head in my shaking hands. I readjusted my empty feeling body several times before pacing with my thinking face on often brushing my flowing hair back so it would frame my face better,

The gentle touch, I recognise it, it pulled me out of whatever spiral I was falling down. A soft thumb brushing against my flushed skin swiping away my tears which streamed my face, I stopped frozen in my tracks realising that I'd been left alone.

"Dani?" I sniffled as I was guided down to the fun spiny chair we'd been laughing uncontrollably over earlier today. Danielle had knelt down so she was face to face with me cupping one of my cheeks. The older woman exaggerated her breathing, placing my hand over her heart until I'd slowed down sniffling lightly.

Danielle: "Amelia, sunshine, what happened?" She asked genuinely concerned, she tried maintaining the eye contact but I couldn't, my eyes darting as I tried to wriggle my way out of her grip.

Danielle: "Amelia, Amelia, you're okay. You're safe. It's only Danielle, okay? You don't have to tell me what's going on but I need you to slow down. Can you do that for me?"

Coming out of my haze I nodded resting into her touch slightly. She smiles at me still making her breathing rhythms evident, Stef enters sitting next to us bouncing her leg a little.

A while later, I'd calmed down just sitting in a comfortable silence with the two women.

"Sorry, I know you guys just wanted to eat and I ruined that for you. You guys can go be with the others I'm okay." My voice barely escaping, Stefania looked over at me and Dani as I had my head lay on her chest cuddled into her side, I felt so safe.

Danielle's safe...

Danielle: "Amelia sweetheart you didn't ruin anything, you are part of our team, we don't leave each other behind. I just want you to be okay, okay?" She rambled. Stefania nodded in agreement her gaze still glued to the screen lighting her face, she was typing swiftly often smiling.

They care... is all I could think.

Danielle pov-

Sitting with a secure arm around Amelia, I ate my sandwich watching the tv, I wasn't paying attention, I had no idea what was happening. The only thing I could concentrate on was the little girl messing with the material of my shirt as she sniffled away, I didn't know what to do or how to help. This seemed to be working though.

"Are you okay sunshine?" I whispered not wanting to disturb Stefania who was getting a Power Nap before having to film again, she nods against my chest.

It had been a while since I'd checked my phone so I took it to my hands seeing a few messages but nothing I could be bothered to answer to right now, I started playing on subway surfers letting myself switch off for a few minutes. Jenna walks in.

Jenna: "Hey you three, Kevin wants you back to set." Her voice was cold. I nodded tapping at Amelia gently to tell her to get up, she obliged grabbing her scripts as I gently woke a sleeping stefania. Amelia stood at the door waiting.

"Hey Stef sweetheart, we gotta film." I spoke moving her messy hair out of her tanned face, she groaned before wiping at her eyes, her eyes fluttered open but she didn't move. I chuckled lightly still running my fingers through her hair.

Stefania: "sono per l'amor del cazzo stanco!" she mumbled.

(I'm to tired fuck sakes!)

I didn't understand a word she said so I took her hand pulling her up into my embrace. Amelia stood laughing.

"what you laughing at missy?" I asked playfully.

Amelia: "nothing." She composed herself smiling shaking her head.

Three hours later, we had filmed everything, Stef and I having a spicy scene also. I don't think Amelia appreciated that. Kevin let us go so we headed back to the break room sitting for a little, Stef was exhausted. She's been really tired lately I contemplated before being pulled out of my mind with a laughing Jaina.

"I guess we better head home you." I spoke looking at stefania.

Stefania: "yeah, I'm exhausted." She sighed with a yawn.

Amelia: "do you guys have too?" She looked up at me almost whining, I chuckle at the younger brunette as she hugged me.

"Amelia, sweetheart, we'll see you tomorrow. Would you like a ride home?" I asked allowing her to have some more time with us. She swiftly pulled away shaking her head no, I nodded before standing grabbing my bag.

"See you tomorrow sunshine." I smiled.

Stefania and I waved to everyone in the room.
