I Can't Let You Go

Rehearsal

"Are you alright?" Em finally found a quiet moment to ask Kit how does he feel himself, after the morning. He did not talk with them in the car. He just looking out the window and wringing his fingers. Rose achieved what she wanted. She made him nervous and tense. When they arrived at the studio, Kit almost jumped out from the car and left every one of them behind. Emilia hated how he handled the situation, but somehow she could understand. 
"2 minutes and we start!" the director shouted loudly. Em nodded then turned back to Kit. They looked into each other eyes and he carefully stroking her hand. He paid attention, to no one noticed that. 
"I am drowning," he told to Emilia quietly. 
"I know." Em nodded and took a deep breath. "I..."
"Kit. Come on. To your place." a guy disturbed them and grabbed him. He followed him and tried to smile. He tried to act like everything is okay. He was good at it. No one knows what is behind his mask. Just Emilia, but she knew him too well. She knew, no matter how hard she tries, she can't help him. She can make him happy, but ... no matter how many hours they spend in happiness... then Rose just pops up and destroys everything. He wanted to end it. He wanted to be strong, but he was never a player. He was a kind and good-hearted man, who hated those games. No one knows Kit Harington in the way she does. 

"Emilia, please. Sit in your place." 

An hour passed. Everything goes well until they reached the part where he has to talk with Rose. He couldn't even look at her. Em was sitting in the studio, and they looked at each other many times with John. 
"Again!" the director shouted. He started to become nervous. "You are a couple, and you can't even do a few sentences role. What the hell?" 
"It is not my fault," Rose stated and made a face. 
"Maybe you should let him breathe." Em couldn't hold herself back anymore. She did not want to. John's eyes widen and he tried to calm her down. He shook his head. 
"Oh, you know that better than anyone else." Rose turned to Emilia. "Maybe you wanna stole this role from me too? As you did with many things?" 
"You better stop before you start it." Em stood up, and the air froze between them. Everyone was watching them in silence. Em glanced at Kit and he shook his head. He appreciated that she stood for him, but she took too much risk. He did not trust in Rose. She just has to say one sentence, and the scandal is ready. "You are here, only because of him. No one cares about you. Of course you afraid to lose him, but if that is it... maybe you should think about your behaviour with him." Em continued, she could kill Rose with her eyes.
"What the hell is going on here?" The production assistant asked the director quietly. He shrugged his shoulders. 
"Oh because little miss perfect knows it better." Rose took a step towards to Emilia.
"Enough." Kit yelled "We are working here!" he had to make this step. He threw away the script from his hand and looked to Emilia then Rose. "I'll be in the dressing room. Let me know when you can act like professionals." he turned his back at them and walked out. Em couldn't find a word. She wanted to help. She couldn't look any longer how he was suffering from Rose games, and now... he talked with her in that way. 
"Maybe we should do the rehearsals and the scenes separated." Emilia grabbed her bag. "If you don't need me here, I better go. It will be better for everyone" she turned to leave. 
"That is sure," Rose stated. Em stopped but she did not turn back to her. That was enough. For now, but it hasn't been played yet. She needs to find a way, to make Rose understand. What she does now... it doesn't make any sense, just makes things worse for all of them. 

"Great" while Emilia was in the cab, on her way back to the hotel, Michael called her. "Yes?" she picked up the phone.
"What the hell was that?"
"What the hell was what?" Em shook her head. 
"The producer just called me and asked about your behaviour with Rose. What happened?" Michael was jumpy. "I thought... you said you can handle it. I knew..."
"Nothing okay. I am just tired. I ... nothing happened. We have some arguments. That is all"
"In the studio, in front of everyone?" 
"I am sorry I just... she is a bitch." Em sighed. 
"Emilia, she is a bitch, everyone knows in the industry she is unbearable, but you are not. Keep this in mind." Michael tried to calm down "You cannot act this way. Do not let her turn you out from yourself. You can ... send her to hell but not in front of that many people. That won't help." 
"I know." Em swallowed. 
"How is he?" 
"Worse than I thought..." Em sighed and she turned to the car window and looked out in it. She spotted a couple. Laughing in the street. Holding hands. No one paid any attention to them. She just wanted that. A normal relationship with Kit but it seemed, she'll never get it.
