Mistakes Come With Prices (being edited!) Chapter 5: GREAT DAY (heh not), an avengers fanfic

Chapter 5:

What A Great Day Eh?

Emma's POV-

I open my eyes and let out a loud yawn. I sit up then stretch out my limbs and look at my phone, 9:50 am.

I climb out of my floral patterned bed and head to my closet. I open the closet doors then take out a black

tank-top, a pair of white jeans and black flats and get dressed. I then head to my bathroom and start

brushing my teeth slowly. When I finish, I brush my long naturally curly hair and tie it into a messy bun,

then leave my room. I walk down the hall to the kitchen/living room. I'm greeted by a person-less room,

which is usually filled with people eating away at food or slouched on the sofa watching tv.

They're probably out on a mission or something, nothing I'm not used to.

I pull out a pop-tart packet from the cabinet and open it. I am about to begin to chew on the first tart,

when I catch sight of a sheet of paper hanging on the refrigerator door. I go walk up to it and take the

paper from the door and begin to read it;

Emma

The others and I are going on a small mission, so we won't be back until later tonight.
Pepper will be at a business meeting, if you need anything text or call her. She said she'll be back after lunch, if the meeting goes fast. Take care of yourself while we're gone!

I Love You

-Steve

I smile to myself at this. [Aw he's so cute. He's definitely a keeper!]

I place the paper on the counter and go back to my pop-tarts. I eventually finish my food then pour myself

a glass of milk. I gulp it down and lean back in my chair then fold my arms behind my head. I close my eyes

and let my mind wander for a few moments, which lead to thoughts of mom.

I get up out of the chair and walk over to Tonys' piano that's next to the large window. I sit on the chair

then slide my fingers across the keys and begin to play notes from a random song. I start to sing along

with the piano;

*I can hear the truck tires coming up the gravel road
And its not like her to drive that slow, nothin's on the radio
Footsteps on the front porch, I hear my doorbell
She usually comes right in, now I can tell

Here comes goodbye
Here comes the last time
Here comes the start of every sleepless night
The first of every tear I'm gonna cry
Here comes the pain
Here comes me wishing things had never changed
And she was right here in my arms tonight, but here comes goodbye

I can hear her say 'I love you' like it was yesterday
And I can see it written on her face that she had never felt this way
One day I'll see her again

Why does it have to go from good to gone?
Before the lights turn on, yeah and youre left alone
All alone, but here comes goodbye

Oh-oooo

Oh-oooo*

I then decide to play another song.

*Na na, na na na, na na
I miss you, miss you so bad
I don't forget you, oh it's so sad
I hope you can hear me
I remember it clearly

The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same
Oh

Na na na na na na na

I didn't get around to kiss you
Goodbye on the hand

I wish that I could see you again
I know that I can't

Oh
I hope you can hear me cause I remember it clearly

The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same
Oh

I had my wake up
Won't you wake up
I keep asking why
And I can't take it
It wasn't fake
It happened, you passed

Now you are gone, now you are gone
There you go, there you go
Somewhere I can't bring you back
Now you are gone, now you are gone
There you go, there you go,
Somewhere you're not coming back

The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same no..
The day you slipped away
Was the day that I found it won't be the same oh...

Na na, na na na, na na I miss you...*

I wipe fallen tears from my cheeks and get up. I go to the counter and take the note Steve left me then

grab a pencil. I fold the paper in half and start writing on the blank side;

Steve

I'm going out. I'll be back later so don't worry about me. I'll be fine, I know karate. ;D

Love Ya :)

Emma

I place the paper back onto the counter and walk out the door, down the stairs to the lobby.

When I finally reach the bottom, I push the front door open then turn right and walk down the street.

I pass a few business building and some mini stores. I spot a small sweets cafe, that says 'Junior's ' on the

door. I walk in to the cafe and the bell that's attached to the door jingles as I enter. On the left side of the

cafe there are chairs and tables all alined against the wall. On the right side of the cafe there is a long

glass counter that holds all sorts of cheesecakes and sweets. I walk up to the counter and look at the

cakes, a plain cheesecake, strawberry cheesecake, apple crumb cheesecake. My mouth waters at the

sight, I then look at the prices.

34.59!? Oh jeez, nevermind..

Out of nowhere a woman pops up behind the glass. I jump back a little.

"Hiya, I'm Claire!" she says cheerfully. "Lookin' for anything in particular?"

"I'm looking for the least expensive treat." I say.

"The cherry crumb cheesecake, sugar free cheesecake and rugelach rolls are our cheapest." Claire says

pointing to the treats.

"Okay I'll take a slice of the cherry crumb to go." I say hungrily.

Claire nods and pulls out a cardboard box out from under the counter. She cuts a piece from the cake then

puts it in the box and folds it closed.

"Okay here you go!" she says as she hands me the box. "That'll be five dollars and seventy six cents."

I take out my wallet and pull out the money I need, then give it to her.

"Thank you! Have a nice day!" she says.

"You too!" I say with a smile, and I walk out the door.

I walk down the street and pass the same places I passed before. I'm getting close to the tower and see

the park across the street. I suddenly get the feeling that I'm being followed but shake it off.

The park is empty, I go and walk up to the stone bench behind the stone water fountain and sit down. I

open the box, take out the fork and take a bite of the cheesecake. My taste buds explode at the delicious

taste of the cherry cake. I later finish the cake and throw out the box into the trash can.

Suddenly a pair of strong arms grab me and one hand covers my mouth with a cloth. But i'm fast, I kick and

wiggle my way out of the persons grasp. I run, but the person catches up to me and punches me across

the face. I drift into the darkness.
