Scarlett POV
Y/N has joined us to play the third sibling of Maximoff. The producer, director and her school have kindly accommodated her schedules and allowed her to study virtually. When she's free, she will be studying in her trailer. Nobody dares to enter her trailer abruptly. Even though she is just a child, she has quite a temper. I've experienced this myself. I thought she was having an hour break so I entered her trailer only to see her still moving around, not resting.
"Isn't it your break time?" I asked.
"Scarlett? Is it important? I'm busy." She moved her assessment books around while getting a writing pad out without looking at me. I'm guessing she is trying to get on track with her studies since studying away from school is tough.
"Um... nope."
"Then?" She said irritatingly.
"Nothing. Sorry for bothering you."
Your POV
I felt really bad for being so cold to Scarlett but I really had a lot of things to do. Yes, I was supposed to be having my break but I used this time to shower and do my homework so when filming ended, I'll be able to do more work at home. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to finish the rest of the work that was given to me. There's no going to ask for help from the teacher. There isn't even enough time for lunch.
I was going through my science question when Chris (Evans) came to tell me that it was my time for filming. It was the scene where the Wanda is showing them their worst fear. I was running around making noises to separate them so that she and Pietro could do their work. This severely drained me. I know I was tired and I am at the point where I am too tired to do anything. I could hear my stomach grumbling but I ignored it. I sat at my trailer not doing anything but I could feel my heart beating quickly. I stare at the wall doing nothing but I feel so guilty. I should be using this time to study, not lazing around.
"Y/N, it's time for your scene again." I could hear Scarlett knocking on my door, speaking as she stood outside my trailer.
"Got it!" I groaned as I stood up, I didn't even have the strength to hold every teenager friend, my phone. Let's just hope I don't forget my lines and don't spend extra time on set.
The makeup artist made sure I looked the part before allowing me to step onto the scene. I was going through my lines with the script on hand but I couldn't focus. I had to go back to the beginning of the sentence after every few words. My hand was trembling so hard that I had to set it on the table to read it, otherwise it would be too shaky.
Scarlett POV
It was not my time for filming so I watched Y/N as she made her way in front of the camera. She seems so much smaller and softer. Whenever Elizabeth was talking to her, her voice was a few notches down from normal.
"Action!" I heard the director shout.
Y/N, Elizabeth and Aaron went into character as they acted in the scene where they found out what Ultron's true motive was. It was a rather short scene but it dragged on for some time due to all the retakes.
"Y/N, I know it's supposed to be anguish but I need more feelings from you." The director commented and she nods. "Action!"
They redid the scene again and finally the director was satisfied with it. Y/N was chatting around Lizzie and Aaron before leaving the pair alone but she stumbled on her feet before Aaron managed to catch her.
"Are you okay?" He asked, concerned.
"Yes. Sorry."
"It's okay. Why don't you go and take a rest. The next scene is quite intensive." She nodded and I decided to follow her to her trailer. Without her knowing, I managed to hold the door before it closed and let myself in. Her trailer was in a messier state than when I came in before. She still hasn't noticed I entered her trailer and went straight to her table opening her laptop.
"You should really take a rest." Her head snapped towards me as I spoke.
"Scarlett! I- What are you doing here?"
"Come on." I dragged her off the chair and pulled her to the couch where she can have a better rest. She shoved her arms off my hands and said. "I don't have time to rest... I need to study."
"This isn't good for you." I looked at her closely now that she's standing in front of me. Her haggard face that was covered up by all the makeup.
Everything happened very quickly. Her breathing got heavier as she held onto the counter for support. "Y/N, are you okay?" Her limbs lost strength as she collapsed onto me. "Y/N!" I immediately set her down on the couch. I was panicking, I wasn't sure to call someone or bring her to the doctor. As I was flustered I saw her open her eyes again, I kneel down by her side to make sure she's okay.
Your POV
The next time I opened my eyes, I was lying on the couch and Scarlett was spinning in place unsure of what to do. Shit, I messed up. She noticed I was awake again and got down to my side. "Are you okay? You black out."
I took my time to gather my energy before speaking softly. "Yes. Can you help me take a sweet from the counter?" I will need a sugar boost if I am going to continue. Scarlett got up and opened a packet of sweets and put it in my mouth.
"Normally I'd ask you to sleep but it's better to lie on your side so you don't choke on your sweet." She said as she helped me turn to my side. Even with a sweet in my mouth, I don't feel any change in energy. Perhaps it's due to the fact I consume too much on a daily basis that it has no effect on me anymore. I looked at my palm and it was pale. I pressed on it and there was no change in colour. I resigned to my fate and closed my eyes again.
"I'm going to tell the director no more filming for you today." I didn't reply to her because I was too tired to move.
Scarlett POV
Aaron was waiting outside for Y/N seeing how his next scene was with her. I walked over to him and informed him that Y/N is not in a condition to film before going to the director. Everyone was understanding enough and made changes to the sequence of filming. I went back to Y/N trailer to tell her to rest before going back to film.
The film dragged into the night and I remembered Y/N was still in her trailer, she probably hasn't eaten and wouldn't eat unless someone forced her to. I ordered takeaway and walked into her trailer only to see her sitting in front of her laptop already.
"Y/N! I thought I told you to rest!"
"I did! I just started! You can feel my laptop. It's not hot yet."
"Fine. But you need to eat first." I placed the takeaway on the table.
"Burger?" I nodded my head. I knew she'd like a burger, she always asks for it 9 out of 10 times. She doesn't like to eat alone so I got a bag of chips and sat beside her. She only got through half of the burger before setting it down.
"You had enough?"
She nodded. "It's just... it's very tiring to chew, especially when I am already tired. I tend to chew a lot more when I am tired."
"It's okay, at least you ate something."
"Aren't you going back to your trailer?"
"No." I shook my head. "Who knows how long you'd study before you go back to sleep again?" She rolled her eyes before facing her laptop. I placed a can of soda next to her and she looked at me. "You don't have to chew with drinks." She popped the can and took a sip and sighed in relieve.
Your POV
Closer to midnight, I started packing my stuff. It wasn't close to what I had planned to do for the day but I felt guilty for keeping Scarlett behind. I finished up the last thing in hand before making my way to Scarlett. She glanced up from her phone after hearing me enter.
"You're done with studying?"
"Yup... You're free to go now."
"Nope. I'm getting comfortable here so I'm not leaving." She said as she lay down on my bed.
"What? Why would you want to stay here?" She shrugged her shoulders and made herself comfortable in my bed. I rolled my eyes and changed into my night clothes before plopping on my couch. I scrolled through my phone to look at my classmate's chat to make sure I've not missed anything out.
2nd POV
Ever since then, Scarlett has been in your trailer more than hers, keeping an eye on you to make sure you rest and eat sufficiently and don't faint anymore. With Scarlett's eyes on you, you couldn't squeeze out the time you normally would and didn't managed to complete all the homework. Teachers were kind enough to give you a week extension for your homework.

As you can see, I didn't know how to end it.
