The rest of the day was awful. Scarlet didn't leave the room and I had to send in Steve to get my things.

I distracted myself by training, and reading my book. Everyone found out about me breaking up with her because all anyone ever does around here is gossip.

Scarlet wasn't at lunch or dinner. I'm sure she'd get over me, someone better will come along.

I ended up sleeping on the uncomfortable couch, I'd much rather be in my bed. But, this will do, plus, I've slept on much worse.

"Get up you fucker!" Someone called and I opened my eyes to see Natasha.

"What the hell?" I mumbled.

"Why the hell did you break up with Scarlet, you two don't even date for one whole day? Weren't you the one who has been flirting with her since the day you met her? We all thought you two would last at least more than a day. I hope you're happy Barnes!" She yelled then stormed out before I could explain why.

Steve came down after he heard the commotion and sat next to me on the couch. "How are you feeling?" He asked and I mean, I didn't feel good about it but it's the right decision.

"I'm fine." I answered, he didn't like that answer.

"I'm holding up alright, I did it for a good reason. I can't trust myself I don't want to accidentally hurt her."

"And you told her all of this?" He asked and I nodded. "Yeah."

"She'll understand eventually, I mean, I think so." He said and I sighed. That did not make me feel any better.

"It's better to have her as a friend than to lose her all together." I said and he hugged me.

2.5 Months Later

I thought things would change between us but nothing has, she avoids me. I walk into a room, she looks down and leaves. Someone brings up my name while she's around she shuts down. I didn't think I'd have this much of an impact on her.

I haven't talked to her at all. Not a single word. I really regret my decision I'm so miserable, I really thought things would change.

We moved back into the Tower and we still are looking for Luther and Kyle, so far, no luck.

Right now it was about three in the morning, I couldn't sleep. I wanted a snack, so was walking to the kitchen.

I walked in and there she was, she didn't notice me at first, I didn't know what to do. I watched her make a cup of tea,"H-hi..." I breathed and she snapped her head in my direction. She froze, then continued to pour sugar in her cup. "Have some tea with your sugar." I said and smiled, hoping to get her to smile but nothing changed.

She started to gather her things. "No, you stay, I'll be out in a minute." I said and she stopped. She looked very tired. It hurt me when she started to leave, did I hurt her that much? I'm just trying to help her. She is way better off without me, why doesn't she see that?

I grabbed an apple from the fridge and turned to her. "I'm sorry, I tried to do what's best." I said and she rolled her eyes

"Why won't you speak to me?" I asked and she sighed.

"Every time I look at you it hurts. You did this, not me. You." She said and left the kitchen.

Did she really mean all that? I closed my eyes then let out a sigh. I screw up everything. Absolutely everything.

Scarlet's Point of View:

The look on his face when I told him it was his fault, made me regret saying it. I still have feelings for him, I avoid him because every time I see him I hate how I'm not with him.

I don't even know if he feels the same way about me anymore. Probably not, but if he does like me, he's good at hiding it.

I ran out of the room and to the hallway. I leaned against the wall and started breathing very heavily.

"Miss Wall, you appear to be in pain? Shall I call for help?" Jarvis' voice rang but I shook my head no.

"No I'm fine, I'm okay?" I wasn't even sure if I was okay. But if I said it enough then it would come true.

I walked to my room and laid down in bed. That's when my phone started ringing.

I looked at the screen and it said unknown number I picked it up anyways and there was heavy breathing.

"Hello?" I asked and was about to hang up but then a deep voice answered. "I have three hostages with me, I'll kill them all if you don't come and meet me. Meet me at the place we shared our first date. Come alone. And they won't die."

Kyle hung up the phone and I started panicking.

I need to go. I needed to save the innocent people. I ran down the halls and bumped right into Bucky.

"Are you okay?" He asked and I nodded. I needed to put aside my feelings for now. He looked down at my outfit.

"Going somewhere?" He asked and I nodded. "A late night jog, why do you care?" I sassed.

"I-, I don't I just-" he sighed and I didn't wait for him to finish. I ran out the building and started sprinting to where we had our first kiss. It was a park close by.

I didn't bring any weapons or my cell phone, nothing I just wanted to get the people out of harms way and get my payback on Kyle. I wouldn't need any weapons to beat the living crap out of him.

It's taken us long enough to find him. I'm not passing up this opportunity. Maybe I should've notified he team but there was no turning back now.

I ran into the park and stopped when I saw Kyle, he was alone. "I knew you're big heart would get in the way and you'd want to save the people. So I didn't even have to bother with catching any, I lied and... you still showed up? You've never changed."

"What do you want from me?" I asked and he laughed.

"I want your fucking team to leave me alone. Maybe if I kill you they'd get the idea of how I do business."

"Or maybe they'd just try to stop you." I said and he picked up a gun and pointed it at my head. His finger was trembling, this could be it.

"Did you even like me?" I asked after a while and he nodded. "Yes. But after a while, I realized you were in love with Barnes, I knew I couldn't compete with him."

"I don't love Bucky anymore!" I shouted back at him.
