Runaway affair

1 Step Forward, 3 Steps Back

1 Step Forward, 3 Steps Back- Olivia Rodrigo

Ford POV:

It was Wednesday.

Two days before Elizabeths birthday. 

The Assessment, her next project was wrapping later in the week and I couldn't be more excited to see her. She was flying back to the States the day after the wrap party, her costars were already claiming it was going to be huge.

But I knew Elizabeth, she wasn't one to party hard, well unless it was in the company of her friends. 

July 8th, 2017- (No one POV):

"And that's a wrap, everyone" there was clapping around the room. Joe and Anthony Russo bounced on their toes, satisfied after the long road it took to film this movie. Scarlett shook Chris Evans with pure excitement.

"Lets party" Anthony Mackie threw his hands in the air, motioning to his fellow cast mates to join in celebration. Lizzie stood wide eyed off in the corner, her hands fumbling with her wig as it began to taunt her every move.

Paul Bettany strode over to her, knowing her well enough now that based off of her body language, something was wrong. "You alright, Liz?" she looked up towards him, his tallness underestimated until standing beside him.

"Yeah" she nodded, now noticing the sudden attention by her co-stars. Scarlett placed her hand gently onto Elizabeths arm."I'll take it from here boys, we'll meet you at the club" the men nodded back towards the brunette before heading on their way.

"You good?" she checks in. Lizzie and Scarlett had been friends since the Winter Soldier days when the green eyed girl had been introduced to the MCU in a post credit scene. They maintained that close relationship throughout the years.

"Just a little stressed, Ford's been in Florida since the beginning of last week and he hasn't called me today" she drew a small breath in. The older woman nodded understandably,"I'm sure he's okay, he probably just got caught up in something".

The woman sighed, it was a possibility that he had gotten busy but usually he would've called by now, just to check in. That part worried her, especially since he had gone to move the rest of his things from his parents house to LA.

His father had decided his childhood home was going to be put up for sale and demanded Ford collect the remainder of his things. So, the soccer star booked the first flight out, luckily during a bye week. 

"Why don't we go celebrate for a little bit? Maybe he'll call you when you get done" Scarlett did her best to try and reassure her friend, knowing how tense these few days had been for her. When the woman agreed, they found themselves outside a popular club only minutes later.

Usually, when one of the Russo Brothers' films wrapped, it was some sort of grand extravaganza at Anthony's house. He always made sure to celebrate the cast on their hard work and tireless efforts they contributed.

Tonight was different however, as Anthony Mackie had planned the event at one of the most radiant clubs known in Los Angeles. In fact it was so popular, that it became a well known place for celebrities to let loose and hang out on casual weekends.

A cork sped across the room as the champagne was popped. Elizabeth was envious of people who could pop alcoholic bottles, thanks to her abnormal thumbs each of her attempts failed. 

Music radiated all throughout the club, so loud that ears were ringing. But no one really seemed to care, after all, it was a night to celebrate not to nitpick and complain.
