"man, pick up the phone and just call her already. she went awol for the last three sessions i had planned and if you're the one who messed something up, you better fix it."

i rub my forehead with my fingers and glare at sam, who is grabbing a bottle of water from his refrigerator. he opens it and takes a sip while walking towards his living room.

"you're only mad because you know i'm right."

i grab a pillow that's besides me on the couch and throw it at sam. he catches it and laughs, making me roll my eyes.

"even your throws are crap," he stopped in his tracks to take another drink of his water,"man, what happened on tuesday?"

as he refers to the day she was in the kitchen and put me on the floor, i let out another groan with my eyes glued shut in embarrassment.

"language, sam."

he laughs and i grab another pillow to throw at him but i'm stopped with a pillow hitting my head.

"okay, well, if you're not going to say anything. i guess i'll just call her and invite her to tony's little valentines day party."

with that threat, i stand up and feel my entire body tense up. i walk over to sam and he puts his hands up in defense. he reaches for his pocket and pulls out his cellphone.

he pushes it into my chest and i grab onto it. sam pats my shoulder while walking to sit down on his couch, turning on the news.

i sigh and go to contacts and find her name.

anastasia

all i need to do is click the button. worst things worst, she does to me what i did to her when we were eighteen. 

i walk past the sliding door and slide it shut behind me before pressing her contact, calling her. the phone begins to ring and nerves begin to settle in to my body. i press the cellphone to my ear, the cold screen was a surprise to my skin.

she's not going to pick up. why would she? people who hide usually don't want to be found.

"hello?"

my body freezes and any words that i ever knew before, i didn't know them now. 

she picked up, that wasn't apart of the plan.

"sam? hello?"

I shut my eyes as hard as I could and bite down before choking out the first thing that came to my mind.

"hey, not sam. it's steve," i hear a small groan from her side and any ounce of confidence i had left to continue the conversation disappeared.

"hey," she paused and cleared her throat,"can you come to my apartment?"

my body froze and i nodded. 

"yeah, i'll be there in ten," i confirmed with her when i realized she couldn't see me.

"don't do anything I would do," her words made me laugh and a wave of excitement burst through me. 

"no promises."

"i'll see you soon, rogers."

"bye, anastasia."

i knocked on her door and heard a light footsteps getting closer to the door. i took a step back and held my helmet behind my back, i came on my motorcycle.
