In the last chapter we see how Bella learned how to handle the press so in this chapter we will see how she deals with them following her and Steve around on their 2nd date. In this chapter we see more of Bella's clumsiness return. It's going to be good I promise.

Please read and review also enjoy.

I don't own the Avengers or Twilight.

Chapter 12

When we got to the bottom floor and looked outside of Stark Tower the press was already waiting for us Steve grabbed my hand and I took a deep breathe and though here goes nothing. When we stepped outside we were bombarded with questions and they were snapping pictures left and right we stopped for a minute and they asked me how old I was I said 18 and one reporter asked where did I get my good looks from and I just smiled and said both of my beautiful parents, another reporter asked how did I feel to be dating Captain America I just said "like the luckiest girls in the world." After that Steve said "ok guys that's enough questions for now, or I will be holding you all responsible for making me late for our special day planned." They laughed and we walked to Steve's bike and he made sure my helmet was on right and after that we left. While we rode he told me that I handle the press pretty well and that he was proud of me. We got to Battery Park with a enough time to catch the ferry to Liberty Island. We decided to eat at one of the many concession stands, I got chill cheese nacho's and a pepsi. I don't think I will ever get used to how much Steve eats because he 10 hotdogs again and 2 chili cheese firs with a large sprite. Luckily they gave us a 3 bags to carry everything in, I carried the drinks while Steve carried the bags we found a bench and sat down to eat. Of course the press started to take pictures of us eating I mean goodness can't we eat without it turning into a ringside circus. Halfway through lunch a few kids came up to us and asked Steve for his autograph. He put his food to the side and signed and one of the little boys looked at me and back to Steve and tried to whisper but he was still pretty loud when he said that he thought I was pretty. I smiled and Steve smiled and said yeah I think so to. The press just loved that and walked to the kid's parents and asked could they put that in the next days paper. When we finally finished lunch we walked around for a little while talking and the press of course following.

We decided to climb the statue and half-way up the statue leave it to me to fall going up the stairs. Of course I was in a lot of pain and I couldn't put any weight on it. I thought that I had a pretty bad sprain and my ankle started swelling almost instantly. The upside to having a super strong boyfriend is he carried me the rest of the way to the top of the crown. I told him he didn't have to carry me but he would not listen to me. The view from the top was stunning. I took out of my phone and snapped tons of pictures some of the view and others of me and Steve who held me the entire time I asked was his arms tired and he said "no I don't get tired remember." I looked and said " well how could I forget something like that." We decided that we was ready to go so he carried me down the stairs when we got to the bottom the press of course wanted to know what happened and I smiled and said "I just wanted to be in Steve's arms so I faked a fall and he came to my rescue. My hero." They laughed and saw my ankle and surprisingly they all said they hoped my ankle would get better soon. I realized that the press is not so bad after all. I told them thank you and we caught the ferry back to Battery park and when we walked to Steve's bike one of the agents that I noticed was close by us the entire time while we were at Liberty Island was waiting by his bike to see if I needed medical attention. I said when we get home all I needed was some ice and I would be fine he said ok. So Steve passed me to the agent so he could get on the bike first and after he was on they both helped me on and I realized I couldn't put any weight down to keep my feet up off the ground, so instead Steve climbed off and the agent gave him a set of car keys. He carried me to a black Audi of course and Steve drove us home the entire ride home asking should he take me to a doctor. I told him no I was fine.

When we got home he carried me up to the family floor to have uncle Tony look at my ankle. Tony looked at me and said "Bells I thought you had grown out of falling over air." He looked at my ankle and tried to move it and I yelled and he said it wasn't sprained but broken. Who falls walking up the stairs and breaks their ankle leave it to me Isabella Swan that's who. My dad went with Steve and I to the ER to have it set and place in a cast, luckily we were in and out maybe its because Steve was with us, who knows but they gave me crutches and I knew I would fall flat on my face if I even tried using them so I hopped out of the ER. Maybe I looked very funny or something because Charlie and Steve burst out laughing and Steve carried me to the car. Steve asked why I didn't use the crutches and before I could say anything my dad said "well it could be from that time last year when she fell out of the window in Phoenix that anytime she tried using them she would fall every time." Steve looked shocked and asked "you really fell out of a window" the look I gave my dad was murderous and he couldn't stop laughing. So instead of answering I turned on the radio and cut it up pretty loud. That made the both of them laugh even more. When we got home Steve walked around the car and lifted me out of my seat and carried me to the family floor because it was almost time for dinner and it was family night. He sat me on one of the sofas and helped me to put my foot up. He told me that he would be right back and when he came back he had my dinner on a tray with my drink and pain meds. He left again and he came back with his food and the rest of my family came so that we could all eat dinner together. After we ate I took my pain meds because by this time my leg was throbbing and once I was done Steve carried down to my apartment following behind him was Pepper and Tasha to help get me into my night clothes. Once they were finished Pepper told Jarvis to let one of the guys know that I was dressed and ready to go back upstairs. Clint came and picked me up and he laughed at me the entire ride up to elevator because he thought it was funny that I fell walking up steps. He sat me on the sofa that I was on earlier a few minutes later Steve walked in and sat beside me. Halfway through the movie I fell asleep and all I remember after that was Steve laying me in my bed and pulling the covers up on me before he kissed me on the lips and left.

When I woke up all I could think was I hope today is better then yesterday.

I hope you guys liked this chapter and trust me you can fall while walking up stairs I should know I've done it before.
