Let Me Tell You A Secret (Chris Evans And Scarlett Johansson=EVANSSON FANFIC)

Chapter 6

Chris had been sitting on his chair for hours now. Sleep had walked away from him as soon as he opened his door.

He couldn't forget what had happened between him and Scarlett. He was still thinking where had he gone wrong.

Smoke. He needed to smoke.

He grabbed a pack of cigarettes from his beside table.

He had been keeping it there for a long time now.

He wanted to stop it but he couldn't.

It wasn't like he was addicted to it.  It was just that cigarettes had been his safe haven for a long time already that's why he couldn't just let go of it.

Whenever he feels stressed due to work, he smoke. Whenever he thinks of his responsibilities,he smoke.

He thinks a lot that's why he smokes a lot.

He lit up the end of his cigarette and inhaled it. The taste of the nicotine calmed him as soon as he take in his cancer stick.

He then went to the bar of his house and grabbed a drink. Some scotch that could match the taste of his cigarette. His eyes wandered around his house. It was big but he felt lonely living alone in it. But then he wad reminded about all the things that had happened in his life in the past and thought that this was much better.

While many people see him as a happy person only few of them knew the real him and Scarlett was one of them.

Scarlett...

She had been his best friend for years now. He had known her since they were seventeen and f*ck it because he thought he knew her but the truth is, he didn't.

He was mad because she had kissed him off screen but he was not mad at her. He was mad at himself. Mad because he had not been strong enough to stop her, he had not been strong enough because he had given in to his cravings. He had given into her.

In some ways she was like his cigarette. She was his safe haven.

He didn't know what had pushed Scarlett to kiss him but he was quite sure that it was purely out of the thing called "caught in the moment". He was certain that Scarlett wouldn't kiss him just because she wanted to. She was at trance, and so was he, but his trance was not that powerful and he still had his will intact while he was kissing her.

He was not blaming her. He was blaming himself but knowing Scarlett she might be thinking now that she was the one at fault.

There's only 3 more hours until he meet Scarlett once again, He would apologize to her. Say that what happened was just a mistake.

Maybe if he does so she would forgive her,maybe, just maybe.

******

Scarlett had been tossing and turning in her bed for hours now. She couldn't sleep.

She was worried, not for herself but for Chris.

What if it has reached Lizzie's ears that she and Chris had kissed off screen? Would she be mad?

Of course she would.

Oh no! What if she decided to leave Chris because of that.

She couldn't let that happen. Chris would be so devastated.

Scarlett had seen how Chris had been brokenhearted before. He almost killed himself because of it, she knew that he felt as if his heart has been snatched from his chest and was torn into pieces because she had experienced that before.

She couldn't let that happen to Chris again.She just couldn't let the love of her life feel all the pain because of that simple mistaken kiss.

She had been an idiot. She always was, and Chris, he had always been her savior. Every time she messed up Chris would always be there for her.

This time she messed up once again but this time, it was at Chris' cost.

She couldn't let him suffer due to her irresponsible decisions.

Tomorrow she would apologize to him and then after the shoot she would try to call Lizzie and talk to her.

Maybe she would understand? I'm sure she would.  Then Scarlett drifted to her wonderland.

*************

Scarlett came earlier to the set today. She wanted to somehow surprise Chris and apologize to him. She had everything planned out.

Chris came to the set looking like sh*t. The lack of sleep was catching up to him now making him miss the presence of Scarlett.
He made his way to his dressing room immediately and try to get some sleep while the others are still on their way not knowing that Scarlett was looking at him.

Scarlett had seen Chris made his way to his dressing room. He looked like he hadn't had a good night's sleep.

Was it because of the fight that he and Lizzie had? Scarlett thought.

It disappointed her. She thought that as soon as he entered the door she would be able to apologize to him but no.

She was still holding her home made cake for him. Although she couldn't really cook she had tried her best just to make him a special treat.

She couldn't face him now so she just put it outside his door and wrote him a note.

Hey Chris,

I'm sorry.

-ScarJo.

Then she put it on top of her treat then left it at his dressing room door. She knocked three times then left.

She only hoped that he would read it and accept her apology.

Chris heard a knock but thought he was just dreaming. He heard it again so he groggily got up from the couch and grabbed the door. He was ready to yell at whoever was knocking at the door but when he opened it he saw no one.

"F*ck it I was just dreaming." He whispered to himself and was about to close the door when he saw something on the floor.

It looks like a chocolate cake. On top of it was a note. He read it and a smile made it's way to his lips. ScarJo, she really used that name? But his smile vanished as soon as he pondered in what the letter was saying. "I'm sorry."

Those were her words.

He cursed again.

He was right she really was blaming herself.

He quickly fixed his self and went to the set to look for Scarlett but what he saw shocked him.

Scarlett was crying but another man was comforting her.

The man was his best friend.

Sebastian Stan.
