Here is chapter two, I am so sorry for the long ass wait.. Well, here goes nothing, hope you like it! Give me reviews stuffs so that I know how are things going.
Pepper looked up the bigger man, nodding a little, biting down on her lower lip, playing with her fingers, sighing before looking into the blond man's eyes, "I.. He came to me, before he got here.. I think he wanted to confess and I didn't treat him seriously, I just brushed him off.." she murmured, tears streaming down her cheeks, "I.." she murmured guiltily, unable to continue, she just shuts her eyes and curled her face into her knees.
Steve looked at the red head, not knowing how to comfort her, he rested a gentle hand on her back, rubbing it softly, "Pepper.. You do know that he is still alive right? You can go see him, give him another chance, yourself too." He pointed out.
Pepper shook her head quickly, looking at him with fearful eyes, "I don't deserve another chance, I am no good for him.. Please tell him that I am sorry.." she said softly before getting up, wiping her tears off her cheeks, shuffling down the long hallway of the hospital towards the exit.
Steve looked shocked, he really expected her to go in and give him another chance, her stood up and brought his jaw back into place, walking back into Tony's room quietly, going to sit on the chair by his bedside, looking at him with pitiful eyes.
Tony looked over at Steve with tired eyes, not being able to read his expression, he sighed a little, "She is not here?" he asked, sadly, ruffling his messy hair, looking all worn out from the operation and the mission that cost it.
Steve looked at him and shook his head, disagreeing with his statement, "She was here but she left.. Because.. She just says that she is sorry." He made it short, wanting to make it easy for Tony.
But Tony didn't think of it as that way, he thought that Steve was hiding something from him, he glared over at the blond man, "What exactly happened?" he growled, wanting to have the answer there and then.

Pepper was packing up, she wanted to leave this place for good and to never be back to have to face Tony again, she was so so guilty for everything that she has done.. That man was trying to confess for god sake, Pepper! Pepper… This name, she will never be able to use anymore, she could still remember how she used to hate him for calling her Pepper. But now.. It was something she almost couldn't live without.. As she drove home, things flashed in her mind, little moments in her life that she had shared with this man, this man that she thought she only had eye candy for.. Which later she thought it was a crush but, after that Afghanisthan incident, she was sure to herself that she loves him but she knew for herself that he would never like her back.. He is a playboy for god sakes! There will never be a happily ever after with him.. Never. She snapped out of it and walked into the little cottage home that she rented near his mansion, this was the last time she would be here.
Walking into her room she opened the closet doors and pulled out her suitcase, she had a rough idea where she was heading to, France.. There was a company that had offered her a job with them years ago, that year, she never thought of leaving Stark Industries, that job was basically her life.. But now, she has done way too much damage her for her to even think about staying.. She finished packing whatever she needed with three suitcases and two hours later, she was ready to leave this place for good.
Loading her trunk with her suitcases, she started the engine and headed for the airport without a bye to the man she loved, the man she devoted the last 5 years of her life to, that was it, she told herself.

Tony interegated the Captain and found out whatever Pepper told him, "She is leaving, she is leaving for good, I ruined all this.. I shouldn't have spoken.." he said, his tone changing quickly from an enraged one to a soft and mellow one, like he was hurt.. Not like, he was, he was truly hurt..
Steve sighed and left the man alone to rest, giving him a pat on his arm and a little smile, "You will be fine, Pepper really did like you, I could tell, she might be back.." he said unsurely, he got up and when back home to Peggy.
Leaving Tony to think about the woman he likes.. If Steve was speaking of the true and that she likes him, why did she ignore his somewhat confession towards her? That didn't make sense.. He sighed when his genius brain got to the answer, I am a playboy, that's it.. Pepper has never had anyone to lean on, no stable place for her to stay, her family was a wreck. She needed security and love and she thought that he couldn't give it to her because he is a playboy that all girls wants.. He sighed and shut his eyes, wanting to take break from all this shit.
