Today
"Hey!" Benedict says happily through the video camera. You smile and wave back.

"Hey" you reply. Benedict knits his eyebrows together before leaning forward on his desk and giving the camera his full attention.

"Spill it" He says sternly. You shrug at the camera.

"What do You mean?" You ask, laughing faintly.

"Tell me what's bothering you" he replies casually. You shake your head

"I'm just so tired honestly,'I hardly got any sleep last night-"

"Y/N, come on" Benedict replies, his eyebrow raised. He knew that you were lying.

"Ben, please I'm okay. If I wasn't I'd tell you okay?"
Benedict looks worriedly at you for a second.

"Are you sure because you really look like something is bothering you?" He asks. You shake your head and smile

"I'm okay, really."
Benedict bites his lip before nodding slightly

"Okay, but if-okay" he mumbles. You adjust yourself on the bed

"Hang on, are you still in bed?" Benedict asks, trying to look where you are.
You move the camera closer to your face so that he couldn't see the headboard that was behind you.

"No" you lie. Benedict could always tell when you were lying, you would always blush and look at the floor.

"I know when your lying to me Miss Y/S/N" he replies cheekily. You laugh.

"Okay, yes I'm in bed- but I told you that Iwas tired so"  you reply casually.
Benedict smiles to himself.

"Lazy bitch" he mutters. You laugh before you playfully flick the screen.

After hanging up from your call with Benedict you nervously walk to your wardrobe so that you could choose what to wear for the 'big day'. You were really nervous about meeting your mum, you knew that she'd pretend to be nice and loving, but you knew that you couldn't let her win- you needed to stay strong.

You decide on wearing your short floral blue dress with your hair wavy and falling down your back. You check your phone for messages but lock it soon after when you see that you don't have any.
You'd gone over to Wanda's and Tim's yesterday for dinner to talk about Benedict's Oscar nomination but because they were sort of like your parents anyway, they knew something was wrong.

You sigh at your reflection in the mirror before going downstairs to get some breakfast.

"Morning" Bonnie says cheerily as you walk through. You smile nervously at her.

"Morning" you reply. She hands you a glass of orange juice.

"Thank you"
You drink the whole glass before placing it in the sink.

"Heard you on the phone to Ben this morning, it's really good how the two of you are still keeping in touch" Bonnie states happily. You smile and nod

"Yeah, well we both kind of refused to ever fall out of contact , and even though only seeing him over a camera sucks, it's better than nothing I guess" you reply. Bonnie smiles before checking her watch.
