—real life—Atlas and Charlie have been home for a week. She spent her time at the house recovering from the long press run. After everyday of doing interviews, photoshoots, red carpets, Atlas was drained.
She hadn't done a world wide press tour since Dune 1 and she forgot how tiring it was.
Fun but exhausting.
They spent their time together and didn't have any visitors because they both knew she wasn't going to be able to be there mentally. Charlie understood that. He knew she needed time to rest after being all over the world.
And Atlas, she couldn't wait to hang out with the Percy Jackson cast again. She hadn't seen them in two months and she couldn't wait to tell them about everything that happened.
Because she knew that they had questions for her. They always did and she loved talking about everything with them. She also couldn't wait to ask what they've been up to.
Especially with Leah winning an award. She was so proud of her when she heard the news. She texted her about it, congratulating her but she couldn't wait to hear it in person.
So after the week ended and she felt better, Atlas texted the Percy Jackson group chat and asked if they wanted to come to her house. They obviously said yes and they set the date up to hand out.
The date came and Atlas and Charlie got their house ready from them to come over. They spent the time cleaning up, getting snacks and drinks set out. They moved the couch and brought out blankets and pillows for them.
The tv was on and ready to play a movie so they could have it on as background noise while they all talked with each other.
Atlas hoped it wouldn't be "Deadpool." Anything but that. She loved the movies but Walker makes her watch it every time they hang out.
After an hour the door bell rang and Charlie walked over to the door and opened it while Atlas was in the kitchen.
She heard footsteps and looked up to see Leah and Dior. She ran to them and gave them each a hug. "I missed you guys so much!" She said.
"We missed you too." Leah said and Dior smiled at her. "You have to tell us everything!" Dior said and Atlas's smile widened. "Wait until everyone gets here." She said.
The three of them went to the kitchen and started getting drinks and they had small talk until the others arrived. Walker, Aryan, and Andrew arrived shortly after them.
Atlas and Charlie put on "Barbie" as Atlas told them everything about the press tour. The cast, the places they went to. She answered all their questions about her cast mates.
Aryan was jealous that Walker and Charlie got to hang out with Florence Pugh. So she decided to FaceTime her. Aryan and Andrew grabbed her phone from her and they walked into the other room so they could talk to her.
"What is Austin Butler like?" Dior asked her.
Atlas looked over at Charlie and he nodded his head once and she looked back at them. "He's one of my closet friends. We met on set and we built our friendship that first day working together. I'd tell you something but that would spoil the movie for you all." She said.
"And no. It's not in the sense you think. I'm looking at you Walker." She said to him and he scoffed. "I didn't say anything!" He said, defending himself and she raised her eyebrows at him.
Atlas cleared her throat. "And we used to date."
"What?" Walker yelled out. "It was only for five months and we decided it was best that we only remain friends. And then a few months later I met Charlie." She said, grabbing his hand.
Dior and Leah looked at each other. "He's hot." Leah said, looking back at her and Atlas nodded her head. "I mean he's alright, but he's not Charlie." She said, looking at him. "Thanks baby." He said and she smiled at him.
Aryan and Andrew came back into the room and handed her, her phone back. "How'd it go?" She asked them. "She's really sweet." Aryan said and Atlas smiled. "That's one of the reason I love her so much." She said.
Atlas went on her phone and went to her camera roll. She had over a thousand pictures from the press tour and she showed them all a few pictures.
"Oh, this one is gold." She said, showing them a photo of Walker with Josh Brolin. His face was so red and he was so short next to him and Walker put his hand over his face. "Atlas!" He said and she just laughed showing more photos.
A few hours went by and they started to clean up. Everyone helped out and got the place spotless. "So what are you doing next?" Aryan asked her.
"Oscars."
"That's right, you're preforming and nominated." He said and Atlas nodded her head. "Yep."
"Well, we're all rooting for you and we'll be watching." Dior said and she smiled at everyone. "Thank you guys." She said.
