A/N: I only own the OC
Thank you for reviews!
"You still aren't talking to them?" Chelsea asked me and I shook my head no. I had finally felt like coming out one night after she asked me a few nights in a row. We went to our normal place because her parents had basically adopted me. I had told her I had been in a bad car accident, and not what had really happened. She didn't need to know everything, and the less she knew the better. She couldn't tell people what she didn't know.
"So Steve really just moved back and thought nothing would change?" she asked me and I nodded.
"And Bucky?" she asked me as I took another sip of beer and chuckled.
"He's moved on... I was just a place holder." I said and she gave a sad smile.
"No, you were too good for him." she said and I had to smile at that. I probably was, and I gave him one too many chances since he was the sole reason my world crashed around me years ago. I had picked myself up and kept on going. I didn't want him to get the chance to do it again... I had been an idiot to think he would like me. I hung out with Chelsea a little while longer, and went back home. I got to my door and sighed when I saw him sitting on my doorstep. I knew that Nick would only be able to keep them away for awhile, and one week was more than I thought I would get.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him as he stood up when he saw me approaching.
"I wanted to check on you. I wasn't able to see you before you went home." he said and I nodded.
"I know. I didn't want to see you." I said and he looked at me confused.
"I know that you kissed Sharon, and I'm actually glad because it finally let me figure out how I felt about you." I said and he shook his head no.
"I didn't mean to kiss her... it just happened. Sarah, you have to know that I really do have feelings for you." he said and I smirked.
"I know you do, Bucky, but honestly I'm not the right person for you." I said and he shook his head.
"You are. You are the first person who believed in me." he said and I shook my head no.
"No, I'm not... that would be Steve. "I said and he scowled as he shook his head.
"Bucky, yes, he left, but he's back now and he's your best friend. You only have a few people who actually understand what you have been though... and the fact that your best friend is one of them is a rare thing. You guys need to get over whatever issues there are and realize that." I said.
"You are one of the issues." a voice said and we both looked up to see Steve standing on the sidewalk next to my house. I shook my head and pursed my lips.
"I am not one of them." I said and they both went to say something but I raised my hand to stop them.
"I don't care if I have feelings for either of you. I can more than you two are friends. You guys can be pissed about who left who, who came back for who, or whatever part of this dysfunctional functioning friendship that has worked for 100 years." I said and they looked at each other and then me.
"I also know that I'm not the first woman you have both liked." I said as I turned to leave them, but they both said my name.
"Goodnight guys, you all figure this out, and I will be back when I'm ready." I said and walked inside without another word. I sent Sam a text that they were both here, and he wrote back a sad face.
Bucky POV
I couldn't believe that Sarah knew about me and Sharon, but I also couldn't believe that Steve had come here. I had just wanted to see her and talk to her, but of course someone had to ruin it.
"You were told to stay away from her." I told him and he rolled his eyes.
"So were you." he shot back and I stormed past him. I had been doing well at avoiding Steve for the last week.
"Buck, I'm sorry. I'm tired of this shit." he said and I stopped to look at him. I hadn't expected that from him. We hadn't talked for the last week, and now he was going to be nice?
"For?" I asked him and he shook his head.
"I shouldn't have chosen Peggy over you. I shouldn't have come back thinking that everything was the same as when I left. I left here thinking that you would never be back. I thought that we lost everyone." he said and I looked at him.
"I came back, and everything was different. You were gone, and then I thought you were snapped, but you weren't... you left." I said and he nodded.
"Yeah, and I'm sorry. I honestly didn't think that you would ever be back. I walked around looking for a way to get you back, and finally I gave up. I went back as a way to escape it all. I also never thought I would come back." he admitted and I had never thought that. I was gone for years, and when I came back it was like nothing had changed for me. He had been here through it all.
"I fought for you to even be on the team. I don't want to give up on you now, but you understand this more than me. I miss my best friend." he told him and I nodded.
"Yeah, I miss the old you... the little, short, stupid one who used to get in trouble in the ally for trying to beat up people twice his size." I said and he laughed.
"I miss the less scary version of you too." he said and I smirked.
"Come on, I'm sure we are in trouble." I said as I glanced back at Sarah's house and he nodded.
"Let's leave it up to her who she likes." he said and I nodded.
"Yeah, she's been a good friend." I admitted and he nodded.
"She was there to help me adjust too." he said. We walked back towards the headquarters and while I was glad that my best friend was back... I couldn't help but miss Sarah.
