Chapter 8- Thought Life Was Great

Chapter 8

Emily P.O.V

As I wake up I slowly regain my senses. My right side of my face is very warm and my left is cold. My memories of last night flood my mind. My eyes slowly open due to sun light shining in my face.

I look up and see Bucky with his eyes closed. I smile at the sight. I crawl up the bed and through the pain and give him a kiss on the cheek. I roll out of the bed wincing in pain. I walk into the bathroom and to the mirror.

I cringe when I see what state my hair is in. My eyes quickly go over my bandaged body and to the bed area. I begin unwrapping my waist and I have to hold myself back from vomiting when I see what shape it is in. I bite on my knuckle to keep it down.

I walk into the room and to the first aid kit that I saw earlier. I pick it up and walk to a chair. I drag it over to a full length mirror. I set the kit in the mirror and I grab out bandages and more. I begin dabbing things on my body and I hiss in pain, biting down on my knuckle.

Suddenly and hand grabs mine and holds it. I look up startled.

“Oh, Hey Bucky.” I say and look at my side in the mirror. “Oh screw it, Alice get me the serum.” I say and my suit grows and a green serum pops out. I grab it from its compartment and I look in the mirror. I glance at my side and look at Bucky.

“Can you put this in the middle of the burn for me?” I ask him and he looks hesitant. “It’s a serum I made. I don’t have the bullet wound as you can see and it was because of that.” I say and he nods, still not liking the idea. I hand him the serum and relax my stomach. I feel it go in and empty. About a minute later, I bit my knuckles from screaming out. Bucky notices and stands up looking worried.

“Emily, what’s going on?” He asks grabbing my arms with his hands.

“I might have forgotten to say that this serum causes extreme…” I groan in pain. “Extreme pain for ten minutes.” I say breathless and he gets this mad expression on.

“Why don’t you tell me these things?” He yells and I put a hand on his shoulder.

“Bucky, calm down. It’s…” I bite my knuckle and he grabs me. “It’s only for ten minutes. No more pain after that.” I say and he wraps his arms around me. I snake mine up around his neck. He runs his arms up my bare back, except for the wraps around my chest.

I run my hand through his messy morning hair and I grip it when a massive wave of pain hits my body. He holds me tightly, but never near my burn.

“This is a time where I wish I could speed up time.” Bucky whispers into my hair and I nod my head.

“I know, but it can’t happen. I just wanna…” I grip onto his hair and inhale a sharp breath. He grips onto me harder as we hug. “I just wanna get through this and it’s all over. Thank you for helping me, Bucky.” I say and he nods. I continue running my hands through his hair and I let out a sigh when the pain evaporates.

I sink into Bucky and lean my head against his shoulder. His arms now hand loosely around me. I run my hands through his hair and he runs his down mine.

“Do you know how much I like your hair?” I say randomly and he laughs and nods his head.

“You’ve said it like a thousand times.” He whispers and I laugh at him.

“That might be an understatement.” I say and he chuckles into my hair.

“We should go up to breakfast. I bet the others are waiting to see you.” He says and I nod my head. I quickly spin out of his arms and walk into the bathroom. I brush my hair and I find Bucky’s back facing me. I take a running start and hop on his back.
