Overcome (Scott Eastwood fanfiction)

Chapter Four

I am now home and my brother and I have just arrived at our house and we're slightly still hungover so we loaded up on coffee. We decide to have a chilled night in with some amazing home cooking from my mum and then some movies later on. I'm helping my mum when my phone rings and it's Scott but I decline the call "Who's calls are you dodging?" she asks "No one important" I say "It wouldn't happen to be the son of a certain famous actor who you were spotted with on several occasions recently would it" she says "I told you to stop following news sites about me" I say "After you came out about what happened I wanted to make sure nothing bad was being said about my precious girl" she says "We're just friends anyway so nothing to worry about" I say "You seemed happy in those photos happier than I've seen you in a long time" she says "I'm happy most of the time but you know I can't help it when I feel down" I say "Maybe he could help you find a way to be happy all the time he clearly likes you" she says "I can't get caught up in the drama that will cause the raging fans who will hate me for dating him or the press who will see it as a publicity stunt" I say "Do you like him?" she asks "How I may potentially feel has nothing to do with it. I can't drag someone who is so carefree into my screwed up life" I say "If he was there for you after everything he wants to be dragged into your life" she says.

We have dinner and before the movie I shower and change into my pajamas and return Scott's call "Sorry for not calling sooner. It's been a crazy few days" I say "I get it you've been busy with work and your friends and family" he says "It's more than that. I push people away when I'm afraid their going to hurt me along the line and I was worried you'd be one of those people because I'd fall for you and you'd eventually see I'm not as together as I seem and leave and I didn't want to put myself through that so I've been ignoring you" I say "If I was going to I would of stopped talking to you after I saw the video but I didn't instead I went to you to support you something I will always do if you give me a chance" he says "The distance thing doesn't bother you" I say "Nothing about you bothers me" he says "Maybe when I get back to Vancouver you could come for a visit get a glimpse into the real me" I say "I'd like that" he says "I have to go but I'll call you soon. I know international calls are expensive" I say "Okay talk soon" he says "Bye" I say.

We stay at my parents until Friday and then we head to Edinburgh for the weekend to see my grandparents before going back to London where I fly back to Vancouver late Sunday night. Scott will be flying out for the weekend which I'm excited about as I'm moving past my fears. Before that I have a long work day to get through. I pick Scott up from the airport after I'm done for the day and we head back to my flat "My humble abode. Grand tour living room full of family photos and my guitar and books as I'm also a bookworm. I always have a book with me when I travel, my book and music collection back home in London is a lot bigger. Kitchen I can cook but I prefer to bake I learned from my gran who's an amazing cook. Boring bathroom, an office space where I do boring work stuff, spare bedroom and my room which is a complete mess right now because I forgot to clean it so we won't go in there and that's it" I say "It's great" he says. We order some takeout and talk some more and then put a movie on.

I make us breakfast the next morning which includes scrambled eggs, toast, sausages vegan and regular, bacon, coffee, orange juice and some fresh fruit "This is a crazy amount of food" he says "I may of went a little overboard" I say "You can say that again" he says "Consider today a cheat day" I say. We have breakfast and then decide to hit the gym in the afternoon.

"So much for a cheat day" he says "Apparently their are no cheat days when you do the stunts we do. My trainer would kill me luckily I can skip tomorrow as it's Sunday" I say "Then tomorrow we can have a chilled day at home" he says "Sounds perfect" I say. We pick up some juices after the gym and then head home and take separate showers and I make us some lunch. We do some exploring around Vancouver and I feel like a normal girl out with a guy she likes "I'm glad we've gotten the chance to do this" I say "Me too I like hanging out with you. We may seem like opposites but we seem to be working out okay" he says "Opposites attract" I say. We get stopped by some people to take pictures which is new to me but also really nice to experience and their excited to see the show and have seen some of my other movies too.

Scott is leaving now as it's Sunday night "Maybe next time I can show you San Diego and give an insight into who I am" he says "I have a long weekend next weekend no shooting for me Monday for once" I say "You are the main character" he says "True but five am starts and 3am finishes gets pretty boring after awhile" I say "The life of an actor" he says "Again I'm glad you came" I say "Me too" he says and instead of a kiss on the cheek I kiss him on the lips and it deepens for a minute or two before we break apart "See you soon" I say "Definitely" he says.
