Hello everyone :) A lot of people asked me for a next chapter for this fic. It was supposed to be a one-shot but finally I decided to write a second chapter. I hope you will like it. I found the inspiration listening the song "remember when" from Avril Lavigne. Sentences in italic are sentences of the songs.

I hope you will like it. It depends of the review but if they are good and if people want I'll maybe write a third one.

If you find any mistakes in English (grammar or other) please let me know. I really want to improve.

Thank you :)

I don't own any of the marvel characters… Enjoy…

Chapter 2: Remember when,

Remember when I cried to you a thousand times
I told you everything
You know my feelings
It never crossed my mind
That there would be a time
For us to say goodbye
What a big surprise

Pepper was in the plane, on her knees, crying. She tried to put herself together, her mind was like freeze. Freeze on the last sentences of Tony. She wanted to understand what happen, but her mind refused to work… Her mind refused to figure out what exactly happen to Tony. She was only crying… It was not the first time that she cried to him. She cried to him like a thousand times during the past ten years. At the beginning, they were only boss/employee then few months ago, she told him everything, he knew her feelings and since her tears were different. They were happy and she never realized that maybe on day they would have to say goodbye. Even if Tony was always in kind of danger with his Iron man stuff, it never crossed her mind that it could happen. What a big surprise… This woke up from her daze.

But I'm not lost
I'm not gone
I haven't forgot

She stood up as her assistant came to her. They were asking her questions but she was not listening. She was only focused on retake control of herself, control of her life. She was not this kind of person who let her emotion master herself. She was Virginia Potts, Co-CEO of Stark Industries, she had to be strong, whatever happened few minutes ago. She couldn't only stay on the floor crying like that. But, even if she was standing now, she hadn't forgotten…

These feelings I can't shake no more
These feelings are running out the door
I can feel it falling down
And I'm not coming back around
These feelings I can't take no more
This emptiness in the bottom drawer
It's getting harder to pretend
And I'm not coming back around again

No, she hadn't forgotten that she loved him. Too much. She came back to her sit and sat down. She rested her head on the window, burying her gaze on the cloud passing as the plane was flying back to NYC. Her heart was in her throat, she knew the feelings that she had for Tony and she just realized that she would be hard for her to shake them. She could feel it falling down. She felt so empty. One tear rolled on her cheek. She shocked her head, no more tears! She didn't want to come back to the cry thing again. She looked at her mobile, she kept it tighten up in her hand wishing that it would ring again. That he would call her back. That it was just a network problem. Time passing, it was getting harder to pretend… Pretend that she was ok or that everything would be ok.

Remember when.

Her thought lost their way to this night on the roof. She remembered when she was on the point to quit everything, to quit him. She was hyper-sensitive at this time, she felt so lonely and she couldn't shake no more her feelings for him. Then, finally, Tony kissed her and she stopped to be alone, it started to be them. And he told her, he promised her…

I remember when it was together till the end
Now I'm alone again
Where do I begin?
I cried a little bit
You died a little bit
Please say there's no regrets
And say you won't forget
But I'm not lost
I'm not gone
I haven't forgot

He promised her that it would be together till the end. Was it the end? Already? No it couldn't be, it must not be. But, now, she was alone… Again… She couldn't bear it. She cried again a little bit, but it was for a good reason, because he died a little bit. Then, she realized that he was trying to tell her something but he didn't have the time? What was it? She was maybe too sad to have a clear thought but she couldn't come across what he tried to say to her. She begged there was no regret, and that he won't forget. She had to be strong. She had to face up this ordeal. She was Virginia Potts, she wasn't lost, and she couldn't be lost.

Remember when.

Even if she remembered that she loved him and that he probably loved her even if he never told to her. Wait! Was it possible that it was what he would say to her? That he loved her? This thought started to kill her.

That was then
Now it's the end
I'm not coming back
I can't pretend
Remember When.

Tears came back at full speed. She couldn't pretend anymore, she couldn't pretend to be strong, it was too hard. Not after all they went through. She was Virginia Potts, it was true, but she was also "Pepper" Potts, his "Pepper". They were happy and they would probably be happy for long but that was then. Now it was the end. And as tough and strong, Virginia was, Pepper couldn't pretend and cried until the plane landed, sat in her sit, her head on the window… Remember When…
