Overcome (Scott Eastwood fanfiction)

Chapter Fifteen

I've been busy with the blog and other work things. We've been to Australia for that leg of the Pacific Rim press tour and I was also doing some work discussing the show and working on the blog. I've been in London for meetings and some events and I am going on the Radio 1 breakfast show today. I'm all ready to go "My guest for this morning knows alot about music and is a dear friend of mine Miss Violet Murray everyone" Nick says "Morning everyone" I say "We've known each other for about four years now and I feel like whenever I see you something is different. Today it's your hair" he says "I said to my boyfriend awhile back that I was happy with my hair and the length and all that but I reached a point after I moved that I wanted a change so I went shorter and this really gorgeous auburn colour and I actually prefer my hair short" I say "I love it. Congrats on the move by the way how's life in the states treating you" he says "Good so far but I've been here alot and I'll be back again soon with my boyfriend and for a play I'm working on so you can't get rid of me that easily" I say "You've recently got back from Sydney and your heading to Beijing at the weekend I have major holiday envy" he says "I'm working while we're there on the blog and some other things but I've never been to Beijing so I'm excited for that and I fell in love with Sydney instantly we were there for New Year's and I couldn't wait to go back and I'm planning to spend some time there in the summer too" I say "I've been loving reading your blog it's very real and I can't wait to see your travel diaries for this trip. Not to be out of line or anything but your rocking some serious bling with a Cartier love bracelet and a ring on a certain finger" he says "Not out of line at all. I have a gold Cartier love bangle that my parents bought me and this one is a early anniversary gift from my boyfriend because I'm here when it's our six month anniversary but I'm hoping I can top it with his birthday which is in a few weeks. I was wearing this claddagh ring on my right ring finger but I moved hands this morning and it's not an engagement ring we're not there yet and marriage for us is something that may or may not happen we don't necessarily need a piece of paper or a ceremony to show how much we love each other" I say "That's one way to live" he says. We chat some more and then it's time for me to head back to my hotel pack and then go to a photoshoot. Before I fly back tomorrow I am shooting a short promo video for stand up to cancer that will run on channel 4 in the coming weeks "The fight against cancer is a battle we've been fighting for many years now and sometimes it seems like it has us beat but this is one fight we won't lose. The incredible people at cancer research UK will continue to work towards finding a cure and alternative treatments when the norm just isn't working. We all know someone who's fighting cancer or has lost their fight for me it was my grandmother who died of breast cancer when I was ten. There were no tests for the BRCA gene back then but my mum has since been tested and she too carries the gene and I do not. That fear of my mother developing cancer is something I've carried with me which is why I work with Stand up to Cancer to raise awareness and funding for their research" I say in the recording.

I am now back and today I am shooting some photos for International Women's Day for a post on my blog which is going up today. Once the photos are done I head back home and start writing. Scott is also documenting the press tour so we've been writing together and helping each other out which we're both enjoying.

Happy International Women's Day to all the strong independent women out there. My mum raised me to never let anyone stop me from going after what I want and never let anyone make me feel ashamed of the choices I make. I was taught about amazing inspiring women growing and these women were my role models but my biggest role models will always be the women in my life. My friends, the amazing women I work with but the most important is of course my grandmother and my mum. I have an incredibly strong and close relationship with both of them and they are always the first people I go to for advice their have been many late night phone calls or Skype sessions with both of them. My grandmother raised four kids with a husband away at war and it wasn't always easy their were times when she thought she would be a widow or lose one of her children but she always remained strong for her children and when she couldn't be strong her children were her strength. My mum married a wannabe rockstar not realising that one day he would be a major star travelling all over the world. She brought me with her for most of it but a time came when raising two children on a tour bus and hotel rooms wasn't practical and she had to make the decision to let dad keep doing what he loves and he in time gave that up for family life. She was there for me in the darkest time of my life and I will forever be grateful for that. When I started taking acting seriously I knew it wouldn't be easy and I had those moments when I was ready to give it up but my mum was there for every audition and rejection and my first theatre performance. She's my biggest fan and my harshest critique she isn't afraid to tell me how it is and will always tell me if a project isn't me. I thank you both for shaping me into the person I am today and for teaching me to fight for what I believe in. To the women of the world never stop fighting for what is right and what you believe in and for the young girls of the world you are the future and the world is yours to shape and make your own.

I post it and send it to my mum and grandmother to read. I am relaxing on the couch strolling through Instagram when Scott sits down beside me and Logan jumps on my lap and Fred lies at our feet "Did you see my recent post?" he asks "The one with a picture of your sisters, mum and former stepmothers and not me your girlfriend" I say "Check again" he says and I go to his page and see a new post with a picture of us "Check the caption" he says "This woman deserved her own appreciation post on International Women's Day she is beautiful, strong and fiercely independent. I sometimes look at her and think she is way too good for me but she makes me wanna be good enough for her. I'm incredibly proud of all she does and will continue to do. We're building a life together and I can't wait to see what the future brings for us. I love you gorgeous" I read
