Scarlett was contently chatting with Chris Evans about the new movie they were about to be filming for Marvel: 'Avengers: Infinity War.' They were currently waiting for the table read to start. It was the third day, and the excitement still hadn't worn off for Scarlett. These people were her home. Suddenly, the director spoke.
"Alright, everyone! Day three! How are we feeling?" All of the cast cheered. "Are we ready to get started?" The crowd cheered again until another producer came up and whispered into the director's ears.
"You don't know where she is?" He whispered before making a face. "Does anyone know where Elizabeth Olsen is? Does anyone have eyes on Elizabeth Olsen?"
Everyone began whispering to one another, not knowing where the blonde actress was. Scarlett was particularly worried. Lizzie was one of her best friends (and perhaps her crush) and she couldn't help but have this feeling that something was wrong. She got up, prepared to fetch her friend.
She was stopped by Chris. "Scarlett, where are you going?"
"To find Lizzie. Something's wrong, Chris," she replied. She left before he could reply. "Lizzie's never late."
She looked almost everywhere on set before she made her way to the trailers. Finally, after walking through a load of trailers, she made it to Lizzie's. She jumped onto the stairs and knocked on the door.
"Lizzie?" she asked, but no response came. "Lizzie, are you in there?" Nothing was said but Scarlett could hear a few sniffles coming from the other side and she was for sure they were Lizzie's. "Lizzie, I'm coming in."
She gently opened the door and quickly closed the door when she saw a sobbing Lizzie on the ground. "Hon, what happened?" she questioned as she made her way to the floor. Lizzie was unable to meet her eyes and Scarlett could tell her breathing was picking up quickly and before she could say anything, Lizzie was blown into a full-on panic attack. She knew she got them frequently and Scarlett had been there for some of them. It broke her heart each time.
"Lizzie, sweetie. Hey, I need you to look at me." Eventually, Lizzie's eyes met Scarlett's who smiled at her. "There you go. Let's take some deep breaths together, lovely. In and out. Just like that." After a few minutes, Lizzie had calmed down. "Good job, bubs. I'm so proud of you."
"Thank you," Lizzie said so lightly that Scarlett almost didn't hear her.
"No need to thank me. Do you mind asking me what happened to make you like that?" A few tears fell down Lizzie's face. Scarlett's heart cracked as her face crinkled up. "Love, it's ok. I'm right here with you. Take your time." Lizzie nodded, playing with Scarlett's fingers.
A few moments later, Lizzie stopped crying and began speaking.
"Boyd...he just broke up with me."
Scarlett's eyes widened, becoming very angry at the man. She knew how much Lizzie cared for him and although she was jealous, if it made Lizzie happy, then she was happy. "What happened?"
"He said he found someone better..." she whispered. "Am I unlovable?"
"No, absolutely not, Lizzie. You are so lovable. You are one of the sweetest, most beautiful, and sincere people I have ever met. I cannot express how much you mean to me and so many other people. Boyd is a jerk. He has no clue what he is missing out on. If that man is that inconsiderate, then he is not the person for you." Scarlett told her with serious eyes. Lizzie looked up at her with an awed gaze before jumping in Scarlett's arms and burying her face into the woman's neck.
"Thank you, Scar. I love you too," she whispered, bringing tears to Scarlett's eyes. She quickly pulled back in realization. "I'm late! The table read started thirty minutes ago! Crap!"
"It's ok. They'll understand. Are you sure you even want to go?"
"Yeah. I think I'll be ok."
"Alright, and how about after we're done, we go out to eat and have a sleepover?"
"I would love that," Lizzie smiled, causing Scarlett to grin back.
They took each other's hands, and neither could deny the spark they felt before heading to where the rest of the cast was. Scarlett ignored the smirk Chris gave her once he noticed her and Lizzie's interlocked hands.
