Chapter 5: Everyone learns the truth about Bella

Bella's POV:

I couldn't believe the choice of books my class was going to read for the next few weeks. There in front of me as if taunting me with the memories it brought was Romeo and Juliet. I didn't want to think of this now of all times but the tears that were forming said otherwise. I gripped the book tight as drops hit the books worn covers from previous semesters. I needed to get out of there right away.

"Um...Mrs. Thompson," I said, wiping away some of the tears so they wouldn't be noticable.

"May I please leave. I'm not feeling too well" I lied hoping it would work.

"What's wrong? I can write a note-'' she started off but she wasn't able to finish because I was already in a panic throwing my books and folders in my bag before rushing out as she called after me, most likely earning a warning or detention but I didn't care. I ran as fast as I could through the halls and out to the parking lot not bothering to stop and let my mind catch up to the rest of me. Throwing my bag in the car and putting it in drive I sped as fast as I could out of the lot. Slowing down a bit as I made my way towards the training facility I knew the Avengers would be at around this time the memories kept pushing their way in. The memories of Edward and I reading the same play or at times watching the movie. Tears were pricking at my eyes again and I furiously tried to wipe them away, deciding it was better to just pull over until I settled down. I honestly hoped that I was finally moving on from this, but of course something always has to happen. I slowly calmed down and put the car back in drive and headed back onto the road,when suddenly I felt a jolt hitting my head on the steering wheel. I looked around and realized a car hit me. I guess I forgot to look around in my hurry to get away from the school. I looked in the rearview mirror and saw a cut on my forehead. I guess I was lucky. Soon I heard sirens and assumed an ambulance was coming. The other car looked ok aside from a dent in the front and the driver was standing outside of his car. I got out and walked over to the driver.

"I-i'm so sorry this was my fault I promise I will pay for your repairs." I said handing him my insurance information.

"It's alright I can tell you are having a bad day. It's just a dent no need for us to get insurance involved." he said politely. I nodded and leaned against my car feeling a little lightheaded. I probably have a concussion. Soon the ambulance arrived and the paramedic helped me into it. I called Peter to let him know what happened and he told me he would call the others.

Bucky's POV:

Peter had just called and said Bella was in a small accident and that she was taken to the hospital to get checked out. I immediately grabbed my coat and ran out of the training facility with the others right behind me. I guess they were worried as well. I got into my car and drove to the hospital as fast as I could go without causing trouble. Soon I arrived at the hospital and ran inside the others close behind me.

"I'm looking for Isabella Swan, I'm her guardian." I said to the receptionist a little panicked. She looked at her computer and then looked at me.

"She's in room 262." she said and I nodded running off to her room as the others followed. As soon as I got to her room I ran over to her worried.

"Bella, are you hurt? What happened? Please tell me you're going to be ok." I said as I hugged her only slightly aware of the avengers walking into the room. She hugged me back holding onto me tightly.

"I'm ok dad, just a slight concussion." she said and I heard the other's gasp.

"Why did she call you dad?" Peter asked, confused. I looked up and saw the others standing there confused. Well other than Tony who looked more worried than confused.

"Why don't we get Bella home and then i'll tell you guys everything. Natasha, would you go get Bella's car i'm pretty sure they took it somewhere to hold it for her." I said and Natasha nodded taking Bella's keys and leaving. As soon as she left the doctor came in with Bella's discharge papers and I helped Bella back to my vehicle Tony and Steve not far behind us. I understood why Steve was concerned and everything but I didn't understand why Tony was. I helped Bella into the passenger seat as Tony and Steve got into the back and I drove back to the training facility. I couldn't help but wonder how exactly I was going to explain everything to the others. Once we got back to the facility, I got out of the car and went to Bella's side picking her up and carrying her inside.

"Dad, i'm fine really." she said and I shook my head.

"You have a concussion Bells so i'm gonna carry you." I said as I walked inside and set her on the couch sitting next to her. Tony sat on the couch opposite to us as Steve sat on the other side of Bella and I sighed.

"So you were going to explain how you have a daughter." Bruce said and I looked up at everyone.

"Yes I did. I'm just trying to figure out how to start." i said and Bella took my hand.

"It's ok dad, I'm sure they'll understand." I smiled, kissing her forehead. I took a deep breath and turned to the Avengers.

"Well it started in 1986 HYDRA decided they didn't need me so they let me wander around. I somehow ended up in Forks, Washington and ran into Renee, Bella's mother. We were in love and a few months later on September 13th 1987, we had Bella. I was there to help raise Bella until she was three, I only got to be a dad for three years." I looked down and shook my head. Bella hugged me and I held her close.

"It's ok dad it wasn't your fault. Besides ever since uncle steve helped you escape you've made up for it. Plus all the gifts you sent to me growing up and the letters." I smiled a little and kissed her forehead.

"I just wish I had been there more for you last couple of months."
