Friendship (revised)

There were only Amy and Christopher left in the room, the atmosphere was a little awkward. Amy didn't knew what to say, so she said : "Chris, I think I am okay now. We can continue the shooting. There is no need to waste time."

Amy further wanted to say something to Chris but before she could speak, she was interrupted by Chris sternly:

"Amy, Why are you desperate for shooting? And first of all tell me, why are you always like this?"

Amy was confused by Christopher's words. She doesn't think she said anything wrong. After all, it's only right for her to be dedicated to work. Seeing Amy really didn't seem to understand his words, Nolan chose to speak in clear words.

"What I mean is what's with your behavior? You are not a background actor or an extra. So, stop treating yourself like one. You are the heroine of the movie and in the future, you will still be the heroine. Learn to enjoy the privileges of your status.

This is Hollywood. Here no one will think that your humbleness is good. They will just take it as granted and choose to trample you. So learn to be like this. I am not saying that be cold-blooded, but at least not be this much naive and humble. Show the arrogance and your style which you have outside the set and use it here.

Don't think that you are just an ordinary person. You are Amy Collins, the number one superstar of tomorrow. You have the looks that makes it difficult for anyone to reject you and as a man I can say that, for men, it is close to impossible. You will be the light that countless people will chase. Every superstar has natural arrogance that reflects from their actions, looks and even bones. You also have it and you just need to learn to use it. I don't know if I will be a successful director but I firmly believe that you will be a successful actor."

Amy was stunned by Christopher's words. She doesn't what to say and her mind was in mess. Now that she thinks about it, what he says about her behavior is somewhat true. It is true that she is treating things like she did in her previous life. She may have become a great beauty and her status has improved by leaps and bounds, but her mentality seems to be still stuck in the past. She was still used to treating herself like an extra.

Seeing that Amy didn't respond to his words, Chris though that maybe Amy was thinking that he is using sweet words to flatter or seduce her. So he stood up to leave. Just as Chris was leaving, his sleeve was pulled back and he looked back at Amy again. The next second, he was hugged by Amy and she buried her head in his shoulders.

He was stunned and shocked, he didn't even know what to do. He felt his shirt on the shoulder a little wet and there were tears in Amy's eyes. He just wanted to advice her. It was never his intention to make her cry even a little. He hurriedly said: "Amy.. I just wanted....."

Before his words could be complete, Amy moved away from him. There was a smile on her face and she interrupted him:

"Thank you Chris, your words have helped me a lot. And you are right, I have to believe in myslef. What I have today is my own ability, so there is no need to be so much cautious."

Chris was stunned by the smiling face which was so close to him. Her unreserved smile feels like a fresh air of spring. But immediately he stopped his thoughts, he is married and has limits. Amy didn't see all this and said:

"Maybe, what I said to Richard is really true. You truly are my lucky charm. My all problems seems to be getting solved one by one because of you. There is something I would like to ask you."

" what is it?" Chris asked as if waiting for something unbelievable.

Amy replied back: "Would you like to be my friend. Honestly speaking, there are many people who can called my friend but I don't know if they are. I want to ask you myself to confirm it. I will be really happy to have a friend like you in my life."

Hearing the words coming out of her mouth, Chris was a little dissapointed, maybe he was expecting something more, but then he became happy because what he has obtained is priceless. There is no need to think of something which is not possible. So he stretched his hand for a hand shake :

"I am also happy to have you as a friend. Let's hope our friendship remains strong forever."

Seeing Chris's action of shaking hands, Amy also moved her hand for a hand shake. After that they both laughed at their childish actions. Their smiles were pure without any reservations.

In fact, Christopher's words were really important for Amy. Maybe in this life, she hasn't really gotten close to someone nd was stuck in the past. She needed a new relationship here to feel a sense of belonging and she got it in the form of a priceless friendship.
