So Close Yet So Far -BuckyXOC

The Beginning Chapter 1

Growing up being friends with this tiny sickly person we kind of got bullied a lot. It wasn't Steves fault he was sickly and small and I tried my best to protect him. Then we met James and he protected us both. We were together all the time. Laughing, Playing, Taking care of each other. Today we were all going to gather at Steves to just hang out because we haven't seen each other recently. Walking down the street I knock on the door, Steves mother opens the door with a smile.

"Hello, Mellisa." She steps aside to let me in.

"Hello, mama Rodgers."

"How's your mom, dear"

"Oh you know, she's the same as she's always been." This makes her frown. Knowing exactly what that means. My Dad left years ago and my mom hasn't been the same. A bit neglectful, depressed, angry, and I completely understand but I want my loving and happy mother back. Moving on Ms.Rodgers tells me when dinner will be ready and I'm on my way out back to bother steve.

"Hey, Why are you already out there?"

"Just needed some fresh air I suppose" We talked for like an hour as we waited for Bucky. Another hour passes and we get restless. Where is he? At around 7 we decided to walk downtown to find something to do. Mama Rodgers told us to be quick and not get into any trouble. Little did I know this would be the last time I see her. We begin our trek downtown walking talking and passing people by. We pass a restaurant but through the window I see Bucky. He fucking stood us up for a date. Wow. Seeing him smile at this petite blonde with that look... It unsettled me. I felt so angry but so sad too. But I was angrier. I let that anger guide me inside passing people who looked at me incredulously. As I storm in all I could see was red. The girl was definitely better looking than me. She had the most beautiful golden hair, she wore a dress and she probably didn't play outside with the boys and talked properly and.... All those thoughts made me so much angrier. I reached The table seething. "You ditched us for a fucking date."

I asked as calmly as I could at this moment. He said nothing speechless looking shocked. Getting no response my voice raises more "You blew off your best friends for this tramp, Really James. You bastard" I continue to spew curses until Bucky stands up visibly upset.

"We'll talk about this later Mels I'm busy. I'm sorry I forgot we were meant to meet today." He sits back down and ignores my existence. But then he continues. "Is this jealousy Mellisa, did you really think I would ever date you, You dress like a boy, act like a boy. I would never date you."

"Fuck you, James."Storming out I decided I needed to be by myself. Speeding past steve Tears slowly beginning to leave my eyes. "I'll meet you back at yours." I quickly whisper out. Taking off I begin to run and run and run. Am I really that repulsive, could I not be loved romantically? Stopping I try to calm myself. I knew everything he said before he even said it. I knew he would never feel that way for me, I knew it, but why does it still hurt so much. I try to convince myself that everything's okay. I didn't just get my heart ripped out and torn to shreds. Hearing footsteps behind me I turn around.

"Hello, little lady." A tall man says with an accent I've never heard. He had this crooked smile adorning his pale features. This caused me to take a few steps back. Who is this and why is he stalking towards me. Noticing him not stopping I go to take off in a sprint to get away, but I'm in an alley and it's reached the end. Panicking I try to shout but he has reached me already.

"HELP! HELpp..." Feeling a needle enter my skin after he grabs me. Oh no oh no. I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die. I don't wanna die. "HELP, HELpp,"

"Shhh we've got great plans for you." everything starts to fade as I continue to struggle and break free. This is it, this is my end. I'll die before I ever get my first kiss, or come to terms with the way I look... Before I could even finish my thoughts the darkness overcomes me.
