When Dreams Collide: The Story of Y/N and Elizabeth Olsen

Chapter 19: Life in the Spotlight (Continued)

Chapter 19: Life in the Spotlight (Continued)

After the laughter from dinner faded, Y/N felt their phone buzz again. They glanced down and saw a message notification from Lizzie. Curiosity piqued, they opened it.

“Congrats on everything. Wishing you both the best.”

Y/N read the message and paused, looking back at the scene in the living room. Dua was sitting with Gale and Rachel, the three of them laughing uproariously as they played a game. It warmed Y/N’s heart to see them so happy, especially after everything that had happened.

A smile crept onto Y/N's face as they remembered the games night and the lightness it had brought to their life. But as they looked back at the message from Lizzie, a sense of closure washed over them. They had healed from that chapter, and now, it felt right to leave the message unread for a moment.

Y/N took a deep breath and decided that they were truly happy now, and they were glad Lizzie had found her way, too. The message was heartfelt, but there was no need to respond right away.

They walked back into the room, feeling a sense of peace. Dua looked up, her eyes sparkling with joy.

“Hey, love,” Y/N said, plopping down beside Dua. “I love your laugh. It makes everything feel normal again.”

Dua’s face lit up, and she leaned in closer. “You know I love making you smile. We should have more nights like this.”

“Absolutely,” Y/N replied, squeezing Dua’s hand. “Just us and our friends, enjoying the moment.”

As they resumed playing their game, Y/N felt a warmth in their heart, a renewed sense of belonging. The night was theirs, filled with laughter, friendship, and the promise of a beautiful future together.

Lizzie’s Closure

Meanwhile, Lizzie had been watching everything unfold from afar. She’d seen the Jimmy Kimmel interview, and while it hurt to see Y/N with someone else, she couldn’t deny how happy they seemed with Dua.

Sitting on her couch with Lucky, Lizzie sighed, scrolling through social media. She paused on a photo of Y/N and Dua, smiling brightly at some event. “Well, Lucky, looks like they’re really happy, huh?”

Lucky barked, wagging his tail.

Lizzie chuckled, ruffling his fur. “Yeah, I know. It’s time to move on.”

With a deep breath, Lizzie typed out a quick message to Y/N: “Congrats on everything. Wishing you both the best.”

It wasn’t easy, but it felt right. She clicked send, then leaned back, watching as Lucky barked at the screen when Y/N’s name was mentioned again on TV.

“Yeah, bud,” Lizzie said softly, scratching behind his ears. “They’re going to be okay. And so will we.”

Feeling a mix of relief and sadness, Lizzie took a moment to reflect on her journey. She was ready to let go, to find happiness in her own way. It was time to embrace new possibilities.
