It's been three months since Edward left Bella in the woods and Bella hasn't been the same since. She has been living everyday in a haze. So Charlie called her uncle Bucky Barnes to come and see if he could get her to go with him back to New York for a while. What happens when she gets there and meets Tony Stark?

Chapter 1: Uncle Bucky comes for a visit

Bella's POV:

It has been three months since they left…. Since he left me. It still feels like it was just yesterday, especially when every time i think of them it feels like a hole has been punched through my chest. I sighed as I wrapped my arms around myself, feeling the pain again as thoughts of them ran through my mind. I tried to fight my tears not wanting to make it harder on Charlie. As I walked up the driveway I noticed that it wasn't Charlie's police cruiser in the driveway but a black Hummer. As I got closer to it I realized I recognized it. It belonged to my uncle Bucky. I picked up my pace and went inside. It had been so long since I last saw him. As I walked in, I set my stuff down by the door and looked around looking for him.

"Hello Bellabug." I heard him say and turned to face the living room and saw him standing in the corner with a small smile on his face. I ran over to him and hugged him tightly not even realizing that I was starting to cry until he wrapped his arms around me and led me over to the couch and sat down, pulling me onto his lap like he used to do when I was little and upset.

"Shh Bella, it's ok, you're ok." he said rubbing my back soothingly and I could feel myself start to calm down a little.

"I-i'm sorry, it's been a long time since you last came to visit and the first thing i-i do is burst into tears." i say as i wipe my eyes trying to compose myself. I heard him chuckle softly.

"It's alright Bellabug, Charlie told me you've had a rough couple of months. He didn't tell me what happened, he said you'd tell me if you wanted to but he did say you've been depressed. I knew you'd probably cry." he said softly and I looked up at him.

"It's just been kinda hard. A lot happened this past year, i-i don't want to get into it but i don't think being here is helping any either." i said and he nodded.

"And that's completely alright, Charlie wanted me to see if i could get you to come back to New York with me. I told him I would try but you could be stubborn when you want to." I smiled a little knowing he was right. I could be stubborn. I sighed and stood up and started to pace, really thinking about what he said and about me leaving Forks.

"Bellabug? You're pacing, you haven't done that since you were little and had to choose between giving up on Ballet or keep trying." i stopped and looked at him.

"Well that wasn't a hard choice when i really thought of it. I wasn't any good, plus since i tend to trip over my own feet i would endanger everyone else." i said and he laughed.

"Well that is true, but i know this is a bigger decision. So if you need a day or two that's fine. I'm staying here for a couple of days." i walked over and sat next to him.

"No, i don't need a day or two. It's time for me to start over, it's time for me to try to live my life again. I want to go with you to New York." i said smiling a little.

"Well then you better get upstairs and start packing. I'll help you if you need it but i'm sure you want some time to process everything." i hugged him and then walked up the stairs to start packing.

Bucky's POV:

Well that went better than i thought it would. I sat back down on the couch and took out my cellphone to call Steve to let him know to tell the others, after a couple of rings he picked up.

"Bucky, how did it go? Is Bella going to be joining us here in New York?" Steve asked, getting straight to the point like always.

"Yes, Bella will be joining us. She's packing her stuff right now and depending on how long it takes we should be leaving in a day or two." i said not wanting to mention the fact that Bella was depressed.

"That's great. I'll let the others know so they are aware of our guest arriving. Now i have to ask Buck, is Bells alright?" i sighed. I should have known he'd ask.

"She's…. Um, ok, she's a little sad but i think this will be good for her. It will give her a fresh start." i said.

"Buck i know you aren't telling me everything. But i also know how Bella is and that she'll tell us when she's ready." i smiled slightly at what he said knowing he's right.

"Yeah she will. Well i should go. Charlie will be here soon and i should help Bella some."

"Alright Buck. call if you need anything." i hung up the phone and walked upstairs to check on Bella. As i got up to her room, i looked in and saw that she was in the middle of looking through her books and i smiled remembering all the times we'd read together or just talk on the phone about her favorite books.

"I see your passion for reading hasn't changed any." i said and she turned to look at me.

"I haven't really read much the last few months, but i still would like to take a couple of my books with me." she said shyly almost like she was ashamed by that fact.

"It's ok, i haven't done much reading lately either." i said and helped her put the books she wanted in a box. As i picked up her copy of Romeo and Juliet, I noticed her flinch.

"Do you not want to take this one? I thought Romeo and Juliet was one of your favorites?" i asked confused.

"N-not so much anymore." she said and then went back to packing up books not elaborating on the subject so i decided to put the play back on the shelf and we continued in silence.
