Amelia's POV:
I still look dumbfounded at Elizabeth. Everyone else is just a shocked as I am. "Yeah I did. Wanda is coming back." she says smiling widely. "But wha-how I. Nice" is everything I managed to get out. Everyone laughs at my response and I feel my cheeks getting red. "Well it's true. Wanda is coming back and Amelia you'll be acting a new character as Wanda's little sister. Your name is going to be Katya Maximoff but you're also known as someone else that will be a secret for now. Wanda always has been like a mother figure to you. What your story exactly is will be found out soon, after you got your script." Kevin says. I nod still trying to process everything I just heard. "Okay guys that's all for today. We will start filming in 8 months but there will be a few shoots before we will officially start. Personal training is going to start next week. There also will be once a week a group training so don't be surprised if everyone is there. Everything else or extra information will be send out to you. Make sure to keep your mouth shut." Kevin tells. Joe and Anthony give us the scripts in meanwhile and Joe hands me my badge. "Thank you" I tell him. He smiles and softly squeezes my shoulder. I try not to flinch and control my breathing. I fucking need to get my shit together for gods sake. I see Scarlett looking over with a worried expression. I drop the eye contact and look at the script. "Lia can I have your phone?" Lizzie asks me which makes me look up at her. "Uh yeah sure" I say handing her my phone. After typing something she hands it back and I see a message to I assume herself. "Now we got each others numbers. We definitely need to hang out and get to known each other." she says smiling. "Sounds good to me." I smile back. Everyone gets up and makes their way to the back of the room where there's food and drinks. "Let's go. I think there are a few who would like to talk with you." she says dragging me up. I follow Lizzie and we make our way to a small group. It's Florence, Scarlett, Hailee and Sebastian. A little to the left there's David, Julia, Joe, Kevin, Anthony and Harrison. And at our right there's Hannah, Wyatt, Daniel, Steven and Olga. I grabbed a water bottle of the table and slowly made my way back a little behind Lizzie. She noticed me next to her and gave my hand a quick squeeze. "So Amelia, tell us something about yourself. I think we all know you but only of some articles and that's it." Sebastian says. I gulp a little hearing about the articles. Great they probably think of me as a slut or a throuple with Mads and Nick. Lizzie taps my arm one time bringing me back. I smile quickly at her. "Before you all start to think weird no I'm not a throuple with those two idiots. Madison has been my best friend for years now and Nick well obviously he's a bit weird but he's great." I tell them chuckling. Hailee and Florence start laughing and Scarlett looks over at Sebastian and Lizzie. "Throuple..?" she asks which makes the two only laugh louder. I get a bit embarrassed and my cheeks turn red. "You guys didn't see those I guess.." I say feeling my cheeks getting hotter. "No honey but please what on earth is a throuple" she asks very confused at this point. Oh dear mother. "Well uhm uh see they think the three of us are dating. Heck not just dating they think we're doing it. Let's just say we are very close and have sleepovers all the time. They have these weird theories about us and it's just annoying. Another one actually came out this morning hence the reason I brought it up." I tell her. She nods and we hear the two goofballs starting to breathe normally again.
"Oh gosh please Amelia you've got to hang out with us all the time. Us three got to teach the oldies some new things" Hailee says enclosing me in a hug. I chuckle returning the hug and seeing Lizzie, Scarlett and Sebastian glare at us. "On the second note I might rather let it up to you two. I don't want to get murdered in my sleep by those three." I wiggle my finger between the three of them. The girls gulp and smile sheepishly. "Yeah that's probably the best Amelia. You don't want to get involved with dumber and dumb. They'll get you into the shit." Scarlett says glaring at Florence and Hailee before pulling me towards her and hugging me. "Welcome to the cool side" she says smiling. Florence and Hailee are huffing and mocking the woman next to me. I laugh softly and Sebastian looks down at me. "Sup I'm Sebastian but you can call me Stan or Sebas or whatever you like. I saw we have a few scenes together which I'm very excited for. Do you mind if I get your number?" He asks me polity. "I'm very glad to be working with you! To be honest it's an honor to be able to work with all of you. And give me your phone so I can enter my number? You can text me whenever if you feel comfortable enough to share you number with me." I reply looking up at him. He smiles and puts on hand on my shoulder and gives me a squeeze before grabbing his phone and giving it to me. I fill in my shit and hand it back. He smiles and types something on his phone. My phone buzzes and I grab it seeing he texted me "I wouldn't ask you for your number if I didn't feel comfortable sharing it. Welcome to the MCU" the text message says. I look up at him and smile. He hugs me and shows his phone to the others "Ha ha I'm her friend now" he says proudly. Lizzie sniggers next to him which makes Sebastian look at her. "What's so funny?" he says raising one of his eyebrows. "If it makes you be friends with Amelia by getting her number then I'm her best friend already" Lizzie says proudly. I shake my head a little laughing about their little fight. Someone pulls me away and I see Scarlett looking at me. "Were you okay earlier, Amelia?" she asks me soft so the others won't be able to hear. I frown at her bluntness. I didn't expect her to just ask me about it. Even though I'm sure as hell she saw everything. "Nothing is wrong. I'm not quite sure what you're talking about." I shrug my shoulders and smile. "You can talk to me if needed, please come to me if something is bothering you okay? It's clear you don't want to talk about it and I respect that choice but I'll keep an eye out on you. Can I put my number in your phone? We can hangout and you can also reach me if something is up, okay?" she says squeezing my bicep. What's up with people and getting squeezed by today? "Sure! but I promise you nothing is going on. I'm alright! I just was a little nervous in the beginning but that all disappeared as soon as I entered the room" I say grabbing my phone and handing it over. Scarlett raises her eyebrow for a quick second before filling in her number and texting herself. "I hope you're a better actress than liar, Lia. But I get it. Take the time but please my door is always open for you" she says with a soft chuckle and gives me a hug. I get pulled back by two arms and fear instantly covers my face. My breathing picks up and my eyes start to drift around trying to find a spot to focus on. Laughter is heard but I notice Scarlett's concerned expression. "Okay you got all of their numbers but now you need ours. We will be your besties not those oldies" whispering the last part I look a little to my left noticing it's Florence. She sees my face and lets go. "Are you okay?" she asks with full concern which makes Hailee let go of my arm as well and look at me. "Yeah of course! You guys just startled me a bit" I laugh. I grab my water bottle and drink some water trying to get my body to relax and the flashbacks to slow down. Please not now, not now. "So the numbers huh? We will also have a super cool group chat without them then?" I ask grinning. They still look concerned but after they look behind me they grabbed their phone and hand it over. Weird. I filled in my contact information and hand it back to them. My phone buzzes and I see a group chat being called "The cool ones" I chuckle and see that the girls have texted me if they need to pick me up. It's nearly 5pm and I just wanna get out as soon as possible feeling on edge with these flashbacks. I text them real quick if they can be here at 6pm so it isn't too obvious if I leave after what happened.
We chatted some more and Florence and Hailee introduced me once again to the others which we also had a small talk with. I look over at Lizzie and see her and Scarlett watching me close. Weird. I look back quickly focussing on the conversation the others are having. They left after a few minutes which made us go back to the little group we started with. Lizzie wanted to ask me something but I quickly cut her off before she was even able to say something. "I'm also heading out. The girls are picking me up and arrive every second now. It's been a pleasure meeting all of you and I really had a good time! Thank you for making me feel welcomed." I smiled and grabbed my bag. We all hugged goodbye and Lizzie squeezes my hand 3 times before looking over her shoulder and back at me. "I'll walk you out Amelia. It's pretty big here and I'm not sure if the girls are able to pick you up here due security" she says watching me like a hawk. Fuck I forgot. Mentally slapping myself I chuckle "Stupid me. I should've thought about that. Mads is probably going to kill me. I hope Ashley at least will help me hide." I giggle. They all look up at me before smirking. What the hell did I do this time "Ashley huh" Sebastian says smirking. Oh fuck. Oh god damn. She is going to kill me. "Okay uhm now I might get killed by the both of them" I say rubbing the back of my neck. "So the famous Hollywood couple is back together after 7 months huh?" Hailee says smirking. Florence nudges her side but is smirking as well before she looks me up and down "Well who blames her. If I were Ashley I wouldn't even let her go in the first place" she smirks at me. "Indeed Pugh, indeed." Hailee says. Gulping and blushing I chuckle "Very funny you guys. But yeah we are kind of seeing each other again but please don't tell anyone we are taking it slow. It was a bit of a mess but we're trying to make it better" I tell them. I glance over at Florence and see her expression slowly filling with anger? Why would she be angry? Hailee scoffs and looks pissed. What's up with them. "Thank you once again for today and we will talk soon?" I ask hugging them in meanwhile. "Sure" they both replied with a quick smile. As if someone stabs me with a knife. I look down feeling the tension in the air. Sebastian hugs me close "They're not mad at you. They can get protective real quick of someone in the family. Talk to them after you got home they'll tell you." he whispers in my ear. Scarlett joins Lizzie's side and I look up at her confused. "Oh you didn't think I'd let Lizzie go back alone now would you? Miss here gets lost easily" she says with a smug smile. Grabbing my arm softly she walks me closer to the door. "Oh come on it happened one time!" we hear Lizzie saying and we laugh.
"So, Lia. Are you gonna say what happened back there?" Lizzie asks me carefully. I stop walking and look at the both of them. "That's the only reason you're walking me out, isn't it?" I narrow my eyes trying to get a read of their actions. Not sure why I'm upset about it I try to shake it off. "No, well, maybe? We just want to check up on you. It looked like something was bothering you." Scarlett says with a soft tone. I hum and start walking again. Every single thought is going through my head and it's giving me a huge headache. I really need to get a grip on this stupid shit. Or I should just go out. That actually sounds very good. I feel a soft tap on my arm and look at the person who's been tapping me, Lizzie. "Nothing was bothering me. I just got startled that's all. What can I say, I'd be the first one that gets killed in a horror movie" I chuckle. We exit the building and I see the girls talking with the guard and showing things on their phone. "They're okay. They need to pick up this one" Scarlett raises her voice and points at me. Not being able to handle anymore triggers I flinch and look over at Madison with tear in my eyes. She notices and runs over to me. "Lia, look at me. Please look at me" she says with the softest tone ever. I slowly look up at her. "Can I touch you?" she asks me carefully. Trying my hardest to remain eye contact I slowly nod. Mads wraps her arms around me and holds me tight. Only know I notice I had trouble breathing and it feels like I can't breathe. I push her off and walk away to the car and start scratching my chest and giving it punches here and there, hoping to get a hold of it. Before I can do anything else someone taps my arm a few times. They bring me down slowly next to the car to sit down. "You're okay. You're safe. You're next to the car sitting down on the ground. Try to focus on my breathing. I'm gonna hold your hand and place it on my chest." they grab my hand carefully and put it against their chest. Slowly I feel their breathing and I try my hardest to focus on it. Someone is next to me but before I can panic I hear the calming voice of my best friend. "Lia, breathe. In and out. You're okay." she says while holding my other hand. I lunge myself forward in her grip and start shaking. Burying my head in the crook of her neck and gripping her sweater so tight that I almost feel numb. She rubs my back carefully saying sweet nothings in my ear and before I know it all went black.
Lizzie's POV:
The moment Scarlett raised her voice I felt Amelia flinch next to me. Her eyes are filled with tears she looks over at who I assume is Madison. I knew she was a brunette and Ashley is blonde. Madison looks up and hurries her way towards her friend. The security guard tries to hold her but Ashley is telling him off. Scarlett looks down with wide eyes and guilt. I nudge her and give her hand a squeeze. "It's not your fault" I give her a small smile before focussing back on the duo in front of us. Madison's hug looks to work but out of nowhere she pushes her off and walks well more like stumbles towards the car. I make my way over recognizing this all too well. Scarlett, Ashley and Madison are a little behind me. I tap Amelia's arm a few times a silent way of telling her it's me which hopefully will work. No reaction. I bring her down slowly to the ground to sit down. After trying to reassure her and letting her know I was about to touch her I gently hold her hand and bring it up to my chest and place it down so hopefully she can start focussing on my breathing to match hers. I look over at Madison and sign her over. She slowly sits down next to Lia and she is about to panic but Madison instantly relaxes her. She holds her hand and Lia lunges herself in her embrace. Anxiety and trauma. That's what going on. Flashbacks and triggers. I mentally slap myself for not noticing sooner it was more than just anxiety. I look over at Scarlett and Ashely. Ashley looks down tears rolling down and guilt washes her over. I bet this is new for her as well. Scarlett has a hard time to hold back her tears and looks shocked. "It's my fault isn't it..? It's not just her anxiety anymore is it, Madison" Ashley asks carefully. Madison looks up and her face is filled with no expression. "Not here Ash. You know she wouldn't want it with others around. No offense" she says once again no emotion was coming out of her. Scarlett and I nod. "Lia, are you with me?" she asks shaking her slightly. No reaction. "Miss Olsen could you please check if she has her eyes open and if you can't see can you lift her face?" she asks worried and concern is washing over all of us. I quickly go behind her and carefully lift her face. She fainted. "Lizzie or Liz is fine but it seemed like she passed out.." I tell her carefully. Madison sighs and looks up at Ashley. "Help me get her in the car let's go over to my place." Ashley nods and wipes away her tears. They lift Amelia up and gently place her in the car. Madison sits down with her best friend caressing her cheek and wiping away the tears that rolled down her cheeks. Ashely was about to close the door before Madison started to speak "I'm sorry you guys had to see this. Please don't ask her about this okay? If she will feel comfortable enough she will talk to you guys. Don't push her please don't. That will only make everything worse and I can't go back to 7 months ago. I can't. So please trust me in this one and DON'T ask her anything. She probably will not be able to remember the last minute. It happens sometimes and I always have to fill her in what happened before she blacked out. I'll tell her it was too much and she told you guys goodbye and went into the car before it happened. Also please don't look at her differently. She can pin that out easily and it only will make her more uncomfortable. Some shit happened a few months ago and it's still fresh. She already took huge steps and it's going way better than before. I will give you my number so you can always text me or if you just want to talk about what happened. I know it's a lot to ask and a lot to process but I wouldn't ask you to do it if it isn't the best for her. Ashy can you please give my number to them and can we leave after? I wanna get her in bed with you." she tells us and not once taking her eyes of her friend. She looks up and gives us all a little smile. Ash leans over them and gives her a quick kiss on her forehead and a kiss on Amelia's cheek. "it was lovely to see you guys I'm sorry it went like this but maybe we can get some lunch or dinner this week? I'm sure sleeping beauty will love it too." she smiles and chuckles. "Sounds like a plan and don't worry we will do what you just said. I hope she knows she can come to us as well. We are her family now. Oh and please before you call me Miss Scar or Scarlett is just fine" Scarlett says with a small smile. I chuckle and smile at the two in the car. "Take care of each other. We will see you soon, Madison. Take some rest as well." I tell her. She smiles and looks back down. Ashley closes the door and walks over to us. I glare slightly at her feeling a bit unsure about her now. Scarlett nudges me hard and I look over at her. 'What' I mouth to her. 'Don't' she mouths back and glares at me. "I uhm uh I don't have any paper with me but this is Madison her number. I don't know if you got your phone with you?" she says nervously. Before I was able to say something Scar cuts me off. "I got mine with me. Thank you Ashley!" Scar grabs her phone and types in the phone number and closes her phone. "I will give it to Lizzie when we're back inside." Ashley nods "You don't trust me, right?" she asks me. "For this moment I have some doubts. I don't judge. I don't know the story. But hearing you say it's your fault and 'It's not just her anxiety anymore is it' is ringing some alarm bells for me. I bet a lot of happened during the break up and time between. I just hope you won't leave her. Even if I just met her, she feels like family already. I'll do everything for family." I tell her with a small glare but replace it with a little smile after getting another nudge of my friend. Ashley gulps and I feel bad. That wasn't my intention. "I get it, you're fully right. Yes something happened after we broke up but even I don't know what. This moment today only made me realize it's indeed more than anxiety and something big happened. She wasn't ever like this before. Yes her panic attacks could be hectic but this was just different. It's up to her if she wants to tell you guys why we broke up, that's not my part. But all I can ask is please don't believe the media. It's not what it looked like, really. Heck she wouldn't take me back if I really did her that dirty." she says with a small giggle at the end. I gently give her arm a squeeze. "I will ask Madison to give you our number too. I'm sorry I sounded rude I didn't mean to I just got a bit protective I guess. Get them home and we will talk soon" I say smiling, she nods and smiles. Scar and I watch her go back to the car. "take care" scar says and Ashley waves. Scar and I walk back inside and grab our bags to go home as well. "Man that was a lot. I hope she's okay.." Scar says softly. I hum and open my car door. "I hope she will trust us enough to let us in. I'm happy she's with our family now." I say taking a deep breath. "She's going to be okay Lizzie. And I haven't ever see you this protective before. Taking the sister/mother role pretty serious huh?" She giggles and nudges me. "Yeah yeah go ahead and make fun of it. I just feel the need to protect her and keep her safe. So yeah I might take the role serious" I say rolling my eyes. We laugh and hug each other. "See you Friday right?" she asks me. "You will train with us???" I ask her shocked. "Duh, it will be fun!!" she says smirking. "Alright alright see you then" I giggle and get in my car to drive back home. I hope Robbie is there to talk I need to get some things off my chest. I turn on the radio a little louder and drive back home.

Chap 8 is out!
We are slowly nearing to what actually happened In those 7 months.
