[Delilah | Chris]

"Chris?"

"Delilah! I- we've been calling you all morning- where are you?"

"Home."

"No, you're not. Selena said she swung by your place and you weren't there."

"I- uh- I- "

"Hey, you know you can trust me, right?"

"Do you believe him?"

"Who, that spectacular bag of shit? You really think so?"

"Many of my friends do... I've been getting some really shitty texts."

"Delilah, I know you. I know who you are, and I know there is something more to that story. I haven't even read that article properly. I wanna hear whatever it was from you, princess. Whenever you're ready."

"..."

"Delilah?"

"I'm so fucking scared, Chris. I don't know what to do."

"Hey, hey, hey, it's okay. You'll figure it out. We're all here for you."

"You get the title of nicest person today, hon."

"*laughs* I can assure you; you have many nice people in your life. Uh, Hiddleston- "

"Yeah, we talked. We were gonna break up this morning. I think. But, yeah, this happened."

"Oh."

"I thought you were mad at me."

"Do you really think I'm gonna be mad at you at a time when you need me the most? I mean, like a friend. You get it."

"Thanks. For, uh, not being mad."

"Shush. I'm still annoyed about the other thing, but I care for you more, so there's that."

"*sighs* Still. Thanks."

"Where are you?"

"I flew to LA."

"That's why none of us could get you on the phone!"

"Yeah. I'm at my Dad's."

"That's good, really good."

"I would've flown to London, to be honest, to be at Mom's. But all my half siblings are there, and I don't know how they are perceiving... me, this, you know?"

"Yeah. You do whatever makes you happy, Delilah."

"Mm hmm."

"How long are you staying?"

"Haven't thought about that. I just need to figure this out first."

"Oh. Okay."

"..."

"I'm so sorry you're going through all of this."

"Honestly, it was bound to blow up some time or the other. Happiness doesn't last long."

"I'm sorry for whatever made you think that way."

"You don't have to be."

"You're a great person, Delilah, really. I wish the world could see you the way I- we do. I wish you could."

"Maybe, that's the problem. Maybe I should have searched for love in myself rather than around."

"There's gonna be a lot of maybes, princess. But that's all they are. All you can do now is move forward, and... heal, you know? Find solace, peace, that sort of thing. In yourself. I know you're beating yourself up right now. But, we all make mistakes, Delilah. What matters is whether we learn from it or not, and what we make out of it in the future."

"Yeah. You're right. That's- that's really wise. I just need time, time to figure this out, myself, everything. I can do this, right?"

"Yes, you can."

"I'm strong."

"Stronger than Captain America."

"Oh, come on- "

"You're Delilah fucking McCartney. Even Captain America's gonna be scared of you."

"*laughs* Wow, thanks, Chris."

"*laughs* No problem."

"I mean it. Maybe I can't express my feelings properly now, but seriously, thank you. This means a lot. I mean you haven't even known me long."

"Doesn't take long to know how special you are."

"*chuckles*"

"I'm here for you, okay? We all are. I gotta go, though. I have a meeting."

"Thanks again, Chris. Bye."

"Bye, princess."
