Hey guys, so I haven't written anything in a while, well forgive me I've been busy. So, I thought, since I'm having a bad day, why not make a fictional character have a bad day too! Here it is, full of angst and made by me! :D

I don't own Imaa.

"Being Strong"


It's hard to be the only strong person some people have. They depend on you, and a lot of times they take their anger and pain out on you, even though you're just trying to help them.

This is how Pepper feels most of the time. She tries and tries to be supportive of Tony, but he never fails to bring her down when she wants to lift him up. She's the one he takes his frustration out on, his pain, his depression. But she still stands there like a trooper and takes it from him, all of it, every time. Sometimes even Rhodey gives up on him, just let's him go, but Pepper stays to talk it out with him.

Most of the time it ends with Pepper in tears and ready to go home, but sometimes there are breakthroughs. Sometimes there's nothing that she can do to calm him down when he has a fit, but she stays and weather's the storm with him. What can she do? She can't leave him alone. She would never leave the guy she's in love with to hurt alone.

It's hard being strong for other people, when you're the only one they count on. Pepper not only has to deal with seldom seeing her father, which hurts her more than she allows people to notice, but also being a punching bag for her best friend. It's hard being the nice one. People tend to always take advantage of you, thinking they can abuse your kind nature. And it's hard being the bigger person, but Tony wouldn't know anything about that. He doesn't care if she had a bad day or not, he's going to still treat her the same way he always does.

Like he doesn't care. But the tragedy is, she still cares too much.
