teen on set ~ marvel cast

used to it

y/n pov
"so how do you manage keeping up a social life and work, i mean model, actress and high school student" the intervieeer asked as i was doing a thing for the stsrt of my accidental modeling career.

"i'm mean it's a challenge keeping up with everything let alone hanging out with friends but i manage. the trick is to hang out with people it takes no effort to be around"

"and what about spending time with your parents, your family"

"oh i don't live with my parents" i said hoping they'd drop it

"what why is that? your so young"

"uh they.."i genuinely trailed off figuring people knew by now "they died?" i questioned. the interviewees face paled. and she started to spew out apologies.

"sorry, no it's fine. they were really bad people it's okay" i comforted the girl who seemed like shocked or something. "here" i said grabbing my water off my assistant.

well actually lizzie's assistants son. who's now my friend and assistant. although he is 3 years older than me and only temporary we're still friends.

the interview carried on and eventually ended. "thank you so much for having me" i said once the cameras turned off.

"no seriously it's our pleasure, i'm sorry for bringing up your family" she apologised holding my hand between hers like middle aged women do.

"really it's okay, it was months ago at this point" saying it out loud made it seem like a lot less time. i guess i've just been busy it seems like longer.

i got out of my interview and started to drive back home. i recently got my licence. and lizzie was fun to learn to drive to say the least.

a month ago (this is my world and it only takes a week or so to get your licence)

"mum, can you teach me to drive?" i asked her as i jumped the last 3 stairs. "everyone's starting to get their licences and i final ally have the time for it"

"of course honey, i will warn you i'll take you on a test drive but if my heart can't take it i'll get chris to help you"
"yeah i get it it's okay" i laughed it off. the other day the 3 of us were having this conversation and lizzie had said she didn't even want to think of the possibility's of an accident.

we got into her car and she drove to an empty parking lot. which was actually hard to find in la.

then we got out and swapped sides. "okay so-" she explained everything in the car and i continued nodding taking in all the information.

after 20 minutes of questions and lessons she let me drive. it was a bit jumpy at first but soon i was cruising. it was like go carts just bigger.

it was just an auto so there wasn't much to learn other than go and stop.

the next day she had taught me to park and after a week of practice i took my feet and got it not problems.

so that leads us to now where i just walked into my home. lizzie and i had redecorated my room a bit ago after all it was only the guest room before with some of my stuff in it.

"hey honey how was your interview?" she asked me from where she was starting dinner.

"it was good, the chick didn't know my parents were dead so that was a bit awkward" i laughed helping her cut vegetables.

we talked about our days for the rest of the time we spent cooking.
i then went up to have a shower while it was cooking.

i feel different than a few months. it's a completely new time in my life and i'm only just starting to adjust to it.

like i used to be some 15 year old with abusive parents, barely eating and hiding away from everyone. now i couldn't care less, i live with the best mum i could ever ask for and i'm 17 in a few months.

my acting career has blew up along with my accidental modeling career. i literally met billie eilish and her bodyguard marley after a gucci shoot. like how.

dahlia and i are doing amazing. i have more friends from all over the place. my family is bigger and more loving than ever.

i could die happy now.

i came back downstairs staring at lizzie and i'd monthly calendar. interview after interview after interview. i forgot how much i love and hate press.

atleast i get to see the whole cast again. chris lives the closest to us so we still see him often but everyone else is home safe.

my mum and i sat on the couch enjoying the big bowls of pasta she had made us.
it was bow tie pasta with a roasted tomato and garlic sauce and some bread.

lizzie had died her hair back to brown for our show coming up and gotten a fringe again.
(after wandavision era)

i had also changed my hair but not that much. after eating our bowls we put them down on the table and i leaned into her side.

she wrapped an arm around me gently rubbing my arm. we were watching some romance movie i didn't find too interesting but it was funny.

the countdown to the premiere was on now.
