Stage Love

The Next Time

(Ash's pov) 6 years later 

I'm 19 now and just got my first job as a stagehand for a movie set. 

The first movie I get to work on is Thor Ragnarok. 

I am about to meet the actors who will be in the show. 

When I enter the meeting room the director is there and some of the actors. 

Standing against a wall, oblivious to anyone around me I didn't notice someone walking in my direction. 

They tapped me on the shoulder, turning to look at them I thought he looked familiar.

He stuck out his hand and said "Hello darling my name is Tom Hiddleston. What is your name?" 

Frozen in shock remembering what happened when I was 13, I didn't reply for a moment. 

Then I stammered "M-my n-name is Ash Tallynn. I am a stagehand for this show. I was told to get to know the actors by my manager so that I could help them with whatever they needed."

He smiled at me and said "Thank you for your being here to help us then. I know you will be a great help to me." 

Then he walked away over to some of the other actors. 

My heart hurt, he didn't remember me from all those years ago. 

Yes I didn't tell him my name at the time and I have grown up, but I am still sad he doesn't remember the strange teen who listened to him about his problems.
