“Well then welcome back or congratulations for finishing your other project.” she greeted, wondering if it was too late to pretend like she was some new welcome crew. Ez side stepped as he went into his trailer, glad she had cleared the stuff she had brought into it earlier. “uh esmeralda novoa, from criminal minds: mind over matter. oh hey, you play the popular dude on your show don’t you.”

     EMMETT RAISED AN eyebrow quizzically as he began to unpack his stuff. “ is zenith requiring its actors to be part of a welcome wagon for each other or something? ” he asked lightly, piling some scripts on the coffee table. “ ah, yes. popular on the show and unfortunately not in real life. i’m unfamiliar with american television, so pardon me for not recognizing you, ” he said sheepishly.

“Don’t,” Bean snapped, though her gaze was saddened as she met his gaze. She’d gotten used to life without Emmett after a few weeks without him around - it wasn’t fair of him to come swanning back months later, asattractive as ever, apologising for being a dick. “Then you should’ve done, you bloody idiot!” She was exasperated, a hand moving back through her hair as she stepped towards him. “I thought you were an asshole for running away, Emmett, but one damn phone call would’ve changed that. A text, even. I thought you’d just forgotten I even existed. You were one of my best friends, and I needed you, and you left. The going got tough, and you got going.”

     EMMETT FELL SILENT as bean spoke, her words piercing like knives. he was an idiot ⎯ a huge one, in fact. there wasn’t an ounce in his body that he hated for taking the easy way out. “ i’m sorry. ” he felt like he was pathetic for repeating over and over, but there wasn’t anything else that he could do or say. “ there wasn’t one day that you weren’t on my mind, b. after that kiss before i left, i ⎯ i didn’t know what to do, ” he murmured. “ it made me even more confused about you. and, i just blew my chances by running away from my feelings. ”

“ OBVIOUSLY i have no idea,” ainsley admitted, pulling out her phone and attempting to find her shcedule. “even if i did, which – for the record – i totally thought i did, i wouldn’t know where to go. like, holy shit, who knew t his place would be so big. i get lost eight times a day.”

     STUNNED, EMMETT DIDN’T know what to say. he nodded along to what ainsley was saying. “ it takes a while to get used to. ” emmett nodded, recalling his first time in the studio. “ so, how new are you to this place? ”

“ DUDE   you  literally  fled  the  country  —  and  don’t  go  giving  me  shit  about  this  film  project  because  you  had  no  plans  to  leave  before.”  as  he  continued  to  speak  his  voice  became  more  accusatory.  the  light  hearted  atmosphere  that  the  two  usually  shared  completely  disintegrating  in  the  tension.  “  there’s  nothing  stopping  you  from  being  honest,  aside   from  your  own  fear  that  is.  seriously,  you’re  naive  if  you  think  this  kind  of  thing  is  just  gonna  blow  over.  you’ve  literally  taken  a  giant  SHIT  on  your  reputation. nothing  will  ever  be  the  same.”   spoken  like  someone  who  knew  what  he  was  talking  about.  in  reality,  eliot  should’ve  been  more  sympathetic.  he’d  been  through  this  when  he  was  younger.  he  knew  what  it  was   like  and  yet,  he  just  couldn’t  get  past  it.  “ i  don’t  think  i   was  the  one  who  forgot  about  us  being buddy-buddy.  thanks  for  the  texts  &  phone  calls  whilst  you  were  away.”  bitter  much?  “they  asked  me  a  question,  i  answered  it  truthfully.  you  see,  i  don’t  care  enough  about  what  the  media  think  of  me  to  lie  to  them.  you  shouldn’t  either.”

     ALTHOUGH ELIOT’S TONE was somewhat harsh, the message rang a bit of truth; emmett’s move was impulsive and no matter how much he tried to convince himself otherwise, it was something he did to run away from his problems. emmett’s eyes shut closed as he listened to what the other had to say, his fingers gripping the roots of his hair. “ nothing will ever be the same, ” he repeated under his breath. “ i thought it would be easier to cut everyone out for a moment and just take a break from all the drama. i was under the impression you didn’t want anything to do with me, so i didn’t bother contacting you, ” emmett explained, looking up at eliot, “ i don’t know how to not care about what everyone thinks about me. i grew up like that. you were able to ease into that thinking early in your career. it might be too late for me. ”

A scoff escaped Bean’s lips at that, and she nodded a little. “That’s one way of putting it, yeah. Bit of a dick move. It takes, what, less than a minute to send a text?” She averted her gaze for a moment, evidently hurt. “Yeah well, you’re not the only one who has shitty rumours spread about you,” she muttered, before fixing her gaze back on him. “You haven’t missed much. Some awards, an earthquake. Nothing major, y’know? It’s fine. I’m fine.” Her voice betrayed her, tone softening. Then, the next word spilled out, seemingly without her control. “I missed you.”

     “ I’M SORRY, ” EMMETT muttered, not knowing what else to say. it seemed as if nothing else could make the whole situation better. hearing her voice ⎯ one that used to be so full of life ⎯ reduced to a murmur broke his heart. bean was his best friend and he feels daft for hurting her all because he was too selfish. “ i missed you too. you don’t know how much i wanted to pick up my phone and talk to you, ” he admitted, looking down at his fumbling hands. “ i thought you’d think i was a coward for running away. ”

BEING new to zenith as an employee, ainsley was definitely not new to the actors. she’d been a big fan for sometime now, and had even studied up on the shows and cast members she wasn’t familiar with so that she wouldn’t seem quite as starstruck when faced with them. regardless, the brunette had still managed to embarrass herself multiple times within her first week of work. she’d been waiting almost twenty minutes in a trailer for what was supposed to be her next meeting, but when he walked in she realized she was in the wrong place. “wow, you’re emmett henley, i–” her eyes widened. “ainsley abramczyk. hi. i am so in the wrong place.”

     “ LAST TIME I checked, that’s me, ” the brit laughed. reactions such as these were something that he has gotten used to over the past fifteen years of being in the business. although emmett was twenty-four years old now, people were still equally excited to see him because of his role as harry potter. “ lovely to meet you, ainsley abramcyk. where are you s’posed to be? ”

“Yep, that’s me,” came Bean’s sarcasm, smirk playing on her lips as she looked over Emmett with a quick glance. Oh, he was still attractive and it was infuriating. She’d been so annoyed and frustrated at him when he’d just upped and left without a word to her, and now he was back she couldn’t bring herself to actually be mad at him. In honesty, she knew she’d only gotten so frustrated because she missed him. “Hm. Looks good,” she remarked, shrugging nonchalantly. “Me? I’ve been fine. Marginally concussed for a few days but, generally fine. How have you been, after your sudden, unexpected, unannounced departure?”

     CHEWING ON HIS lips nervously, emmett set down his bags on the coffee table. “ yeah, that was a dick move, wasn’t it? ” he laughed grimly. “ the rumors of me cheating and being a manwhore were something incredibly new to me. when the opportunity to do a project abroad came up, it seemed like the easiest thing to do ⎯ not the brightest, but it was the fresh breath of air i needed. ” additionally, part of the reason why he left was his feelings for bean that he didn’t know whether or not to act upon. it’s probably too late, he told himself. “ and you? how much have i missed out on while i was gone? ”

“ GOOD  QUESTION. let’s  say  i’m  a  little  bit  of  both.”   emmett’s  mirrored  glare  did  little  to  phase  eliot.  it  wasn’t  as  if  he  was  unaccustomed  to  that  look.  not  from  emmett  in  particular,  that  part  of  the  current  scenario  was  new.  “ blaming  you?  no,  i   take  responsibility  for  my  own  screw  ups,  like  an  adult.”  the  malice  behind  his  words  was  clear  in  his  voice.  “ unlike  SOME  people  — which  is  clearly  what  i’m  judging  you  for.  even  a  blind  person  could  see  that.”  eliot’s  hands  found  his  pockets  as  he  began  to  aimlessly  wander  around  the  empty  trailer,  emmett’s  voice  becoming  background  noise  to  his  own  casual  thoughts.  “whilst  i  am  honored  that  you  think  my  words  have  such  an  impact  towards  the  media,  i’m  pretty  sure  you  earned  that  reputation  all  on  your  own .  welcome  to  the  club  though! ”

     EMMETT RAISED AN eyebrow at eliot. “ and who are you to say that i’m not taking responsibility over my actions? ” he challenged. “ i can’t exactly tell the tabloids that the whole relationship wasn’t real, therefore there was no cheating involved. best i could do was shut up and wait for them to move on to another hollywood divorce. ” it seemed shocking that emmett considered eliot as one of his best friends before, considering how cold they were acting towards each other. emmett never understood what had triggered eliot to suddenly being hostile towards him, given what the two have been through in the past. “ you’re forgetting how much we’ve been buddy-buddy in front of the public, so the paparazzi eats up any sort of drama between two ‘best friends.’ yup, being a ‘manslut’ was my doing, but thanks for adding fuel to the fire especially when the situation didn’t concern you at all. ”

Ezzie coughed, “uh did you say your trailer?” Well now what was she supposed to say. “Of course not,” he’d find out anyway but she didn’t want to be the one telling him, “why would any one use your trailer. Though the emptiness kind of confuses some people.” she cleared. “Me? I was just- Who are you?”

     EMMETT NODDED HESITANTLY, unsure if he should believe the stranger. “ i’ve been away shooting for another project for the past two months, but i’m back to shoot some of the scenes i’ve missed out on, ” he explained, walking into his trailer and throwing his bags on the couch. “ emmett henley. i work on lesliean. and you? ” he asked, raising an eyebrow at her.

EXCITEMENT ventured across the young redhead’s features, the mention of gifts giving her much more incentive to help her friend out than before. With her arms still wrapped tightly around Emmett’s neck, Emery leaned away, a joyful smile beaming in his direction. ❝ You had me at booger. ❞ She teased, tapping his nose with her finger. Turning swiftly, Emery tried to pick up one of his bags and failed instantly, going down with the bag rather than pulling it up.

     A CHUCKLE ESCAPED emmett’s lips as he offered a hand to help emery up. “ on second thought, maybe you can sit and watch me settle in. i’d still give you the presents nonetheless. ” bending down, he unzipped the bags and arranged the binders on his coffee table. “ scripts, ” he informed her. “ my role as asher has opened doors for me in the american cinematic world, but so far, i just want to focus on lesliean in the meantime. ” emmett opened another bag with his ps4 and began to set it up on the flat screen before her. “ and how have things been going during filming? i have a lot of scenes to catch up on, huh? ”

Esmeralda had been finishing her time of using the trailer. As long as it remained unclaimed, she and a few others had decided to use it for their own personal use, as long as they cleaned up after themselves and of course didn’t let anyone know. Doing her best to not make a noise as she slipped out, she froze as she heard another voice. Turning her head, she stared at the man in front of her. “Uh, hi. This looks kinda sketchy doesn’t it, but it’s not. I swear. You.. you arenot the person for the next time slot.”

     “ TIME SLOT? ” EMMETT repeated. was his trailer being used for something while he was away? “ what are you doing here? ” was she a new member of the cast? but emmett swore that he never saw this woman in his life before, so unlikely. “ have people been using my trailer while i was away? ”

“ THERE  HE  IS  ladies  and  gentleman.   zenith’s  own  robert  ford,  officially  back  in  the  saddle.”  the  news  had  spread  like  wildfire.  mutters  of  emmett’s  name  heard  by  the  taller  male  as  he  sulked  around  the  studio.  safe  to  say  there  was  a  sense  of  disgust  in  eliot’s  eyes  that  in  most  people’s  opinion  would  consider  uncalled  for.  eliot  on  the  other  hand?  he  believed  it  was  well  &  truly  deserved.  “ figured  i’d  organize  a  little  welcome  party  for  you  BUDDY.”  there  was  hiding  the  bitterness in  his  voice  as  he  stood  in  his  friend’s  trailer,   “then  i  remembered  i’m  pissed  at  you  so  —  i  just  thought  i’d  stop  by  to  judge  you  in  person.”

     “ IF I’M ROBERT ford, are you jesse james or edward capehart o’kelly? ” emmett joked sardonically, leaning against the doorframe of his trailer. he met eliot’s hostile glare with one of his own. “ still blaming me for all the shit that happened with you while i was gone? ” he sneered. “ what are you judging me for? leaving for a film project overseas? ” emmett knew that his former best friend thought he was a coward for leaving his problems back in america without much of an attempt to fix it himself. “ just because you’re used to the media talking shit about you, doesn’t mean i am. i’ve always been known as the cookie cutter nice guy, but all because of your comments to the tabloids, i’m suddenly pegged as a manslut. so thanks, buddy, ” emmett sneered.

“I expected you to be here to greet me when I arrived. Not the other way around.” There was some semblance of a pout on his lips as he looked up from his phone, and at the somewhat prodigal son. “Did see your snaps, though. Bali looked at least weekend-trip worthy.” His tone was somewhat curt, as if he wasn’t sure what to make of Emmett’s comeback. Sllowly, the corners of his lips tilted upwards in recognition of one of his oldest friends. “Also, those pap shots of you could’ve been more flattering. That’s why you invest in better sunglasses.”

     EMMETT ROLLED HIS eyes, plopping himself down on the seat next to his good friend’s. “ all for good publicity for the movie, mate. didn’t really get to explore much, really. too busy shooting and all that, ” he explained. emmett narrowed his blue eyes playfully at glenn. “ i’m sorry that i’m not as devilishly handsome as you. not all of us are good looking enough for disney, ” he teased.

In the first week or so after Emmett’s unexpected departure, Bean had, admittedly, been a little lost. In the time they’d spent together before he’d left, Emmett had become a big part of her life, her feelings for him surpassing those of ordinary friends; it was definitely more than platonic on her part, at least. Evidently it was only on her part, since he clearly hadn’t given her a second thought before jetting off to Bali without so much as a ‘kiss my ass’. Word had gotten out that he was back, and she found herself seated in his trailer, waiting expectantly for him to arrive. “Hello, Emmett,” she greeted, hands tucked into the pockets of her jeans as she fixed her stare firmly on him. “You’ve changed.”

     “ BEAN, ” HE UTTERED in shock, her presence in his trailer almost like some sort of dream. he missed her, although he didn’t want to admit it to himself, but being in the same room as her made him realize how much he yearned her company while he was away. emmett was never going to admit it out loud, though, especially to her. “ changed? yeah, i got a little bit of a trim while i was back home. ” he pointed as his hair nervously. “ so... how have you been? ” shoving his hands into his pockets, he rolled back and forth on the balls of his feet ⎯ something he generally did when he was feeling anxious.

CLICK. FLASH. Emery’s phone shot out a bright, white light, yet another blindsided picture of Asher now saved to her camera roll. ❝ What’s up, pookie ? ❞ Emery twirled a ginger lock around her finger, legs crossed over one another as she waited for Emmett to get acquainted with his own trailer. The second she heard that he was back in LA, she was clearing her schedule out in honor of their usual quality time. ❝ Did ya miss me, or what ? ❞

EMMETT BLINKED, THE sudden flash of light blinding him momentarily. he briefly thought a fan was able to sneak into his trailer, but noticed a certain redhead ⎯ his biggest fan. “ booger! ” he exclaimed excitedly, throwing his bags down on the floor to scoop up his best friend into a hug. “ i have, in fact, missed you all summer. ” emmett put emery down and motioned to his bags. “ i’ve brought gifts for you from bali and england. i’ll give it to them to you if you help me settle in. ”
