TW: CUSSING
POV Eileen
Lizzie held me in her arms for quite a long time. Her arms are warm, and she smells sweet, making me just want to cuddle with her, even though I don't even know her. She just feels good. I don't know.
I can tell my face will be stained because of the tears from earlier. I can also tell that I don't want to look anyone in the face right now. It's just all wrong.
I feel the warm embrace fades as she moves away slowly, making sure I'm aware of what she's doing.
" 'You alright? Wanna talk about it?" She asks me in a low volume voice. I bite my lower lip and shook my head at her. "The cast was planning to get together at the green room after the makeup tests. Would you like to come with us?"
I should probably go back home. Soon, Ant and Ava will get home from school, and I gotta be there when they do.
"No. Thanks, though." I mumble to her, my voice too weak to speak louder."I should probably get home,"
"Oh, ok. I can take you if you don't have anyone to come pick you up now." My eyes go wide open
"N-no, it's fine. Really. My mom is waiting for me at home. I told her I'd be there after I finished working. Plus, I have to get some things at the grocery store. You know, for dinner..." I ramble my words to her. Yeah, lies.
She seems to think about something for a second, making me nervous.
"Look, it's okay. I wouldn't tell your parents about the money thing, if that's the reason."
Well, I wish that was the reason. I think to myself.
"Oh, no. That's not it. I just... enjoy walking home alone." There it is. More lies.
She takes a deep breath, saying 'ok'. I grin at her, glad with her decision not to insist.
I look at the floor, kinda embarrassed. But I decided it's better to just shrug and get up. I get back on my feet and feel the confused look of my new co-star face lying on me as I try to ignore everything.
I feel my face blush with the glare, and as my immediate reaction, I scratch the back of my neck and then play with my rings.
"So, uhm, thank you." I manage to speak to her sheepishly, not looking in her eyes. She smiles in response.
"Let me, at least, walk you to your trailer." She takes a hair strand out of my face, still a little wet from tears and sweat from my stupid panic attack.
I don't really answer her, but as I walk back to my trailer, I can tell she's right by my side.
I gather my things up in my trailer, kinda embarrassed because Elizabeth is still I'm my door, waiting for me.
"You, uhm, want to come in?" I ask her, noticing the weird atmosphere. She smiles at me, so I guess that is what she was waiting for.
Gosh, if you think the silence is awkward, wait until I start speaking. Like, what am I supposed to say? Thanks for the 50 dollars I got from you earlier? Sorry you had to watch me crumbling? What the fuck.
I see her entering my new trailer through my peripheral sight. She sits on the couch, trying to say something.
"That's a pretty backpack, indeed. You have good taste." She chuckled but kept trying to make conversation. "Where did you get it?" She keeps trying to make conversation while I look for my phone recharger.
That makes me think a little. Where did I get this backpack? Oh, I know it.
"Wait, did you...?" Her mouth drops open, and my eyes wide
