Emma's POV

February 19th 2016

Dear diary,

It happened again. Just like every other time, i woke up screaming and activated my powers on myself. This time i couldn't hear anything. Every time i think I'm getting better with this PTSD thing it comes back even stronger and kicks me down 10 flights of stair again.

But talking to Dr. Moore doesn't help at all, every time i mention anything about my nightmares he just picks up his notebook and starts writing, i no he doesn't care. Because all he ever says to me is to keep taking my medication, but i feel helpless and i feel like im drowning. Sometimes i just wish i could go somewhere to get away from all this, to find a safe haven.

As i was writing in my journal i heard a knock at my door, i put down my pen and get up heading for my front door. I don't think I'm expecting anyone, so i wonder who it is. I open my door slowly and see the two people i least expected to be at my door at 6:00am in the morning. " Steve, Sam what are you doing here?" I asked confused "Sorry Emma is it alright if we lay low her for abit?" Cap asked apologetically.

I nodded and let them in, as i did i realised there was a third man with them. As he walked past i couldn't help but look at his eye's, they were this beautiful blue colour that flecked his inner pain perfectly. It felt weird, as if I could trust this man with my life. But that will never happen, after everything that I've been through i don't think i could ever trust anyone like that, let alone this strange looking man.

"So are you gonna tell me what's going on? And who's this?" I asked really confused pointing to the guy with shoulder length brown hair.

"Right, well this is a friend of mine his name is bucky" i looked at the man closely, i swear I've seen this man somewhe- OMG! "The winter soldier" i said quietly but enough for them to hear. "What the hell are you doing with him? Are you trying to get us all arrested? Because that's what will happen if they find him here" my voice abit louder, i couldn't help the questions that left my mouth, what the hell were they thinking.

"Listen Em we need a huge favour" sam finally said "what?" I muttered "No one really bothers with you anymore, and your living in the middle of nowhere so...we need you to let bucky stay with you out here for abit?"

How could Steve ask me that? I don't even no this man and he's also a wanted criminal. I couldn't help the shocked expression that was plated firmly on my face.
