Lena pov

I walk outside of my room to find Alex sitting in the living room on his phone. There are his bags packed next to the couch. I guess he really is leaving.

"Hey." I say sitting down on the armchair.

"Hi." He says putting down his phone..

"I'm sorry about the things I said. I went a bit overboard." I apologize

"I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have even mentioned your parents. I can't even imagine how that must feel like. I was am arse." He says

"Hug it out?" I ask

"Come here." He says patting the couch next to him.

I sit down and he puts an arm around me.

"I really am sorry Lena. I should have been more patient."

"No you don'v have to apologize anymore. You're right. I wouldn't have eaten if it wasn't for you." I say

"Well thank you for that." He says

"Are you still leaving?" I ask

"Yeah. I talked with my parents. I'm needed back home." he says

"Oh, alright. Then I'll see you in Italy?" I ask

"See you in Italy." He says and smiles at me.

He left an hour ago. Chris stayed over for the night and he made sure I was okay. I told him he can go home if he wanted to. I feel a lot better. I mean I still feel like shit. But now I'll at least try to get something to eat.

"I will call Selena over and she will make us her special lasagna. It's heavenly." He says

"I don't think I've tried any of her cooking." I say

"Even better." He shouts and runs to give her a call.

What a goofball.

In an hour or so we hear the doorbell ring. Chris answers and comes in carrying two big bags of groceries. Behind his Selena walks in.

"Hello honey. I didn't see you in a hot minute." She says hugging me.

"I must agree. How have you been?" I ask

"I'm great. I just hot back home a week ago. I don't have to work for another few months."

"Unlike some of us." Chris says sitting down next to us.

"Are you jealous Evans?" Selena taunts.

"A little." He says smiling at her.

"God get a room you two." I say standing up. They chuckle at that and we all walk to the kitchen.

"Does anyone want something to drink?" I ask opening Jack Daniels Whiskey.

"It is only 2 pm Lena." Selena says

"So? I'm not getting wasted. I'm getting a drink." I say and put some ice into my glass.

"Do you have any scotch?" Chris asks

"What kind of question is that? Open the upper cabinet next to the refrigerator." I say

"Holy shit Lena, this is all yours?" He gasp as he opens to find a fully stocked cabinet with hard liquor.

"No I stole it. There is wine in the next one as well." I say pouring myself half a glass of whiskey.

"I never thought you out of all people would have this much alcohol laying around in your house." Selena says

"You never know when a heartbreak will occur. You have to be ready." I say sitting down on one of the stools.

"I say cheers to that." Chris says and clings our glasses together.

"At first I didn't believe it that you two are creepishly alike. But now.. now I'm convinced." Selena says at to that we laugh.

"I keep getting that everywhere I go with this one." He says pointing to me.

"Take it as a compliment." I say and Selena laughs at that.

"Does anyone want to help me make the lasagna?" Selena asks

"Well sit here and observe." Chris answers for me and sits down next to me.

"I can help." I say

"You're not helping me. You have one good arm." She says and washes her hands.

"Fine." I say and sip on my drink.

We played charades and laughed as Selena was making us lunch. It was honestly refreshing. Those two are so adorable together and how they accept each other is truly beautiful. I don't think I would have wanted Chris to end up with anyone different. She keeps him grounded and she keeps him safe in a way. I can see how much she cares for him and that is all I could ask of for my best friend.

Chris had to go out because he got a phone call so Selena and I stayed in the kitchen together. I could hear him speaking on the phone but I didn't want to pry. He may be in my house but that is no excuse for me to invade his privacy. If he wants to tell me he will.

"How's your arm?" She asks

"It's okay I guess. They put this thing on me just yesterday." I say

"Chris told me you got hurt but he didn't say how. Do you feel comfortable telling me?" She asks nicely.

"I just got very angry and I punched every reflective surface I could find in my bathroom. I cut my hand but I also broke it when my hand impacted with the mirror on the wall." I say looking down at my now empty glass.

"Have you thought of talking with someone about it. Maybe a trained professional?" She suggests.

"I have yes. I just don't want to yet." I say

"Thats reasonable. You should go when you feel the most ready to. I get that." She says kindly.

"Thanks, it means a lot you're here." I say smiling at her.

"If you're special to Chris, you're special to me. It's as simple as that." she says smiling at me.

Chris walks in with a look of regret on his face. He sits down next to me and doesn't say a word. Selena and I share a look and she dares to speak up first.

"What was that about" she asks

"Oh.. it was just Scarlet.." He says avoiding my gaze.

"What did she want?" Selena asks sourly. I look up to see her with a look I never saw yet.

"She asked if we could hang out, y'know like old times." He says

"And what did you say?" She asks.

"I told her I'm busy and I don't plain on hanging our with her any time soon."

"Chris. She's still your friend you know." I say

"She may be my friend but right now I am very and I mean very pissed at her. She's lucky I even answered her call." He says angrily

"I appreciate your support. Don't even dare to think otherwise. I just think you should talk with her. Maybe hear her side." I say

"Are you serious? God Lena. You are literally the kindest person I've seen. She hurt you and yet you want me to walz over there and comfort her? I don't need her side. I read the pathetic letter she left for you. There is no 'her' side. Thats evident." He says angrily

"Okay."

"Okay?!" He asks

"Okay." I confirm and he calms down.

"The food will be done in just a few more minutes." Selena says breaking our intense interaction.

"I need a drink." Chris says standing up and pouring himself a glass of scotch.

"How long do you have to wear that thing again?" He asks after taking a sip.

"Two to three weeks." I say

"Does it itch?" He asks

"Not yet. It just hurts now." I say

"Do you drink anything for the pain?" Selena asks

"Not really. I don't need to at least."

"I heard from Alex you're cooking up a new project." Chris says

"Oh really? Where?" She asks

"Italy." I say smiling at them.

"Thats so cool! I saw your previous project and all of them were incredible. Some even brave." She says

"Thank you." I say, my cheeks turning different shades of red.

"Did you bring your medals to New York?" Chris asks like a little kid.

"Yeah. The're in my wardrobe." As soon as he hears that he bolts to my room. I laugh at that and she just looks at me confused.

"He's talking about the medals I got from the royal family." I explain and she seems to remember.

"Oh! Right. I completely forgot." She says

Chris walks in with the wooden box in his hands.

"Ta-da" He says and opens the box on the counter

"Wow they look so much cooler in person. May I see them?" Selena asks and I nod

Chris takes the medal and puts it on me.

"On it's designated place." he says smiling at me.

"It matches your eyes." Selena says smiling at me.

"Are these real gold" Chris asks

"I think so. The're pretty heavy." Selena says

"I don't know honestly. I'm glad I even got them." I say

"You deserve even more hun." She says putting the others into the box.

"Here." I say taking mine off and giving it to Chris so he puts it into the box.

"Why don't you display them somewhere?" He asks

"I don't want to. My house is basically a big display room."

"I don't see any displays in here." Selena says looking around.

"I meant my home back in England." I say

"I can't wait to see it." She says

"We can go tomorrow if you want." I say

"Okay Bill Gates slow your horses." Chris taunts.

"We can. If you two are up to it." I say

"How about we wait until I am free?" Chris asks

"Oh so thats what this is about! You sneaky little thing." I say

"What I want to go too! I loved your place when I visited last October." He defends.

"When you think of it we can have a girls weekend, just the two of us." Selena says

"Oh come on guys." He wines.

"We're kidding, right?" I ask Selena.

"I'm always down to travel." Selena says shrugging her shoulders.

"You two are mean!" Chris says

I stick out my tounge and we laugh it all off. Selena takes out the food and we wait a bit for it to cool down. It smells amazing.

We ate together in the kitchen and it was honestly very delicious. I now want to try all of her dishes. She seems to be really good at cooking. I bet Chris doesn't complain. It was nice just eating and chatting with them. I had a bit of trouble to eat with my left hand but I figured it out eventually. I remembered Alex bought Ice cream so I got out two tubs of chocolate and cookie dough ice cream. We took out bowls and topping and brought them over to the living room.

"Since the two of you share brain cells how about we play Mamma mia?"Selena suggests and at that Chris jumps to turn on the tv.

We watched and also sang. Not only Chris and I but sometimes even Selena. It was honestly very needed at a time like this. I laughed at Chris's acting and he played all the roles. Even the girl ones. He would change pitch when acting the female roles and I laughed so hard that my stomach started hurting. The film ended and the three of us cleaned up the messes we all made. I turned off the tv and tidied up the living room.

Selena had to run out fastly, turns out she had a family emergency. So it was only Chris and I once again. I went to my room to get some work done and he borrowed one of my laptops to read a script. He had it on a flash drive so I showed him the printer in the guest room.

"You're out of paper. I'm gonna run and get some quickly. There is a store close by." He says

"Okay, be safe." I yell after him

"I will!" and with that he is gone.

I had tons of emails from Marcus and from other companies regarding my work back home. Reading them was one thing. But writing a long reply was another. It was so distracting I didn't even notice when Chris came back and started copying the script.

He came into my room searching for a staple gun. I pointed to my desk and he took it and left. I answered a few more emails before I got too tired. My head started hurting so I took a walk around my room. I was curious what Chris was working on so I wondered through my place to hear him talking with someone in the hallway.

"Chris who's at the door?"

"Don't worry about it. I'll be there in a minute." He says

I walk out to see Melanie standing there. She looks shocked and glances down to my right arm.

"Melanie what are you doing here?" I ask

"I came here to see what happened between you and Scarlett." She says

"Didn't she tell you?" I ask

"No, she just told me she's cancelling the wedding so I thought you had something to do with it." She says

"What?" Chris and I ask at the same time.
