Amelia pov (continued)
While sitting awake on this plane that will only be landing in the next 13 hours I started to think about my life and the changes I wanted to make like changing my name start anew, or the fact that I didn’t want to go back to Africa any time soon. I thought about all the pros and cons about it and told
myself that I should think more about the moving, but I’m definitely changing my name to something that would be
picked up easily, like Leah everyone back home already calls me Lia, when new Yorker ask why they pronounce it different I can blame it on the accent or something. So Leah Amy
Samuelson it was. I was even tempted to change the way I dress, like dress girly but that’s pushing it, let’s stick to name
changing first. I eventually let sleep consume me.We I woke up, the captain told us we landed safely. We were so tired that we simply just got to the hotel and slept as Sam
had to be at work tomorrow.

“Elizabeth you are not going out tonight!” I was currently on the phone with my best friend Scarlett; she was being a complete pain in my ass.I put her on speaker and tossed my phone on my bed as I looked through my cupboard for something to wear to go out
even though Scarlett just told me not to.
“Liz, please… I’ve known you since kinder garden this is not who you are… if you doing this because you bored let me know because I don’t mind coming over… but you can’t go
out and get drunk tonight you got the audition for the new Annie movie tomorrow”
I considered her words and put my dresses back and grabbed my pjs instead.
“Okay Okay… I won’t go out, but that means you coming over again for the fourth night in a row and you bringing me cookie dough ice cream!”I put the phone off and went to take a shower as I knew Scarlett would be here in 20 minutes as usual.When I was done I put my hair in a messy bun and headed to
the kitchen to make some hot chocolate as it was quite a chilly night in New York.
Scarlett let herself in and walked towards the kitchen“Hey Liz, so they didn’t have cookie dough so I got you actual chocolate chip cookies and chocolate ice cream, do with
them as you please” she stated and smiled
Scarlett has had my back since kinder garden. We built the best sandcastles in the sandpit she kicked Jessica butt after she shoved me in middle school and she took me to prom
and most recently helping me get through my break up with a douche named Brandon. We’ve been dating for 4 years and
then he cheated on my with a girl named Brittany, and yes this was a solid year ago but it still hurts.I got pulled back to earth by Scarlett“A penny for your thoughts” I just looked at her and then embraced her and said thank you.She kissed my cheek and headed to the cupboard for the mini marshmallows she bought 2 days ago. We don’t say
much, because well there’s not really much to say it’s a cycle.She tells me I can’t go out, I go out anyways she finds me,
brings we back here to the hotel, we stay up, watch movie talk, eat... a basic girls night I black out, wake up the next morning with a headache she sands prepared with the
painkillers and water, she makes breakfast and then heads out and then we repeat. Well tonight we saved at least 3 hours because I didn’t go out.We spoke about her marvel movie and how she gets to meet the actual black widow in 2 weeks to talk about the fine
details of the character, like the emotions she was feeling at the time and stuff to make the movie realistic as possible.We talk about rose and then how I should move on and passed him because his had 6 girlfriends after me.
And then something she has been very consistent about...“Soooo, when are you going to let Robbie take you out on a proper date” she now had a smirk on her face“What do you mean proper date, and for your information
coffee dates is a date it’s in the name besides his my best friend that would be gross.” Scarlett faked gasped as if she was offended to which I quickly had to change my words.
“And you Scarlett are my bestest of best friends, my wifey…I’m with you ‘til the end of the line” we laughed at the last part
“you did not just quote Evans” we laughed a bit more talked a bit more and watched a movie until we both fell asleep.

I woke up this morning quite excited for many reasons.one we finally get to see what movie Sam is in. two might get to see famous actors. Three Crystal and I get to eat all the food. Four i get to chill out in trailer. I know I was third wheeling to their mother daughter thing but that’s okay I’ll try to stay out
of the way as much as possible.We got ready and headed to a theatre apparently they were still recruiting people. Sam was already recruited to play the
terrible foster mother FOR FREAKING ANNIE. This was huge…
Annie is an amazing movie; there are many versions it’s going to take a lot to make this movie just as great. Crystal and Sam
headed off somewhere to get her script and to sign a contract I said I’ll stay back and watch the auditions.
They were currently watching auditions for the Meyers right hand lady.
A beautiful young lady walked on stage just as I took a seat a row behind the recruiters.
This lady had beautiful green eyes and brown hair with bangs that shaped her face perfectly.
“I’m Elizabeth Olsen, and I’m here for the part of the Meyers
assistant” her voice was amazing and her acting even better.They hired her on the spot.
She said thank you and headed to the place I assume crystal and Sam were.
We were now looking for Annie.
Being a fan of previous Annie films I knew exactly what they were looking for and me being me, I kept giving sarcastic Hushed toned comments like...
She’s too uptight
She’s too smiley
She. Can. Not. Act. to save her life.
Her vocal range would not be able to reach the notes to the key song.
She’s too old to play a 12 year old.
When auditions were over I headed to the lobby to find Crystal and Sam, no luck… instead I was met with the two men and lady that were sat in front of my in the theatre.
The lady spoke…
“Hi, I’m Elizabeth banks, producer of this film”
I was about to freak my shit, because the Elizabeth banks was standing in front of me right now like in pitch perfect Gail/
producer Elizabeth banks all I managed to say was “hi”“We couldn’t help but notice your knowledge about acting or more specifically your outlook on the main character Annie,
do you mind auditioning for us”
I nodded; I didn’t even know how to act. I simply just had a problem with saying no to people.“Great, here are a few lines we’ll see you in there in 5 minutes”
I freaked I saw crystal and Sam talking to something Olsen across the room and I hurried over and not caring much
about their current conversation all I heard was “here she is now” before I blurted out
“So while you guys were gone I was at the auditioning place and I saw her” I looked to Elizabeth “Elizabeth was it? And
she was great, hi. You a great actor” all of them were now looking at me “and then she left and then the auditions for Annie came up and me being me I commented very sarcastic
things, silently to myself I didn’t think anybody heard me turns out the producer of the film did, who just so happens to be Elizabeth frikking banks and then she told me I know a
lot about what they looking for in Annie and she wants me to audition in less than five minutes and I don’t know a single
thing about acting!!!” my breathing started to get crazy and I felt super-hot all I managed to say is“I can’t breathe, I need air” and I bolted towards an exit I heard footsteps behind me but I couldn’t care any less I was
now on my knees in a parking lot try to breatheThen I heard someone speaking softly.
“Hey sweetie, it’s me lizzie just try and follow my breathing
okay” she was now sitting next to me on the floor the breathing wasn’t really working so she pulled me into to hug
and placed my head on her chest and told me to try and follow it I did and it worked. I didn’t tell her that though because her hug was so calming and warm and safe, I’ve never felt this in my entire life before.We eventually got up and she stretched out her hair for me
to shake I did.“I'm Elizabeth Olsen, but you can call me Lizzie it’s nice to Officially meet you”“I'm Leah Amy Samuelsson, but you can call me Leah. Also I find it weird that you offering a handshake even though we were in a hug 2 minutes prior, I call that a downgrade” she giggled and pulled me into a hug.
“Well, Leah. Let’s got home” I looked at her confused.She giggled again. She’s really a happy soul“Rigggghht, you weren’t around for that conversation, you were too busy giving sarcastic comments” I nudged her
slightly before acting offended “heeyyy, I was just stating facts”
She looked at me amused
“Right, right, of course. Anyways we are roommates. Samantha and I are renting out a house together as we going to be here for 5 months, we are currently heading to the
hotel to pack because apparently we living in the same hotel too” she giggled again and took my hand and started leading
me to what I assumed was her car. The hotel was only 5 minutes away so we didn’t say much; we just put on the radio.
When we got to the hotel she insisted on walking me to my door and getting my ‘gorgeous behind’ in the room safely.
When I got inside the bags were already in the living room including mine. Sam came running to me with a worried look on her face “Hey, are you okay? I would’ve checked on you
but Liz said she’ll handle it.” “I'm fine, I was just a bit panicky and Lizzie helped a lot so thanks for that” I tried reassuring her as I didn’t want her to worry about me in a foreign currently also me not being her child.
We headed to the house. We got here before Lizzie.When entering the first thing we met with is an open plan living room it was massive yet comfy. To my left was a door
to an office area which had an attached room that looked like a mini library, it had a bean bag and everything. I think I found my favourite part of the house. Further down was a stairs. It only had 7 steps and a balcony so you could actually see the second floor from downstairs there were 4 rooms I
assumed the bed rooms and toilet. Further into the living room where 2 more doors, one was another bathroom and the other was a smaller office with no room attachment and
then there is a little arch door that leads to an open plan kitchen and dining room, there was a 8 seated table in the dining room and the kitchen had little island and everything
else the kitchen need. I was certain the entire house was fully furnished. I was positive actually because we wouldn’t have
moved in today if it was.Crystal and I were sharing a room it was between Lizzie and
Sam room. The room was painted a blush pink and had 2 cupboards with to single beds on opposite sides of the wall. We had a sliding door to the balcony that all rooms shared
that looked into the back yard. Crystal was already pushing our beds together while I was still cringing at how girl the room was.When she was done we decided to take a nap, because one we were still jet legged and two it’s been a long day, I got onto the bed and let sleep consume me.
