Sam's POV:

October 31st, 2019

I've been healing up pretty well, for the most part, I am being put into a brace that will keep my leg straight so that I can walk short distances, they don't want me back at the school yet but I hate being at home. 

A lot has happened the past few weeks, Eddie and I got into a huge fight because I wasn't following my bed rest schedule; I also followed him one night to an old warehouse where I discovered that he was fighting people, it made me sad because he had so much built up aggression that he never told me about. We have been through a lot in our first month together, but after he talked to his team about it, he has found other ways to release his anger.

He felt guilt about his ex-wife Shannon, about Christopher, and about me. He didn't think he was good enough and that he wasn't enough for us. Which he is, Eddie has always been more than enough, the lying just needs to stop.

The 118 seems to be in distress lately, Hen is a train wreck, she hit a young girl and killed her. It was an accident but that doesn't lessen the burden, Maddie got called out for stalking because she took a call about a possible abusive relationship and befriended the woman without telling her who Maddie was. Athena was brought back to her past when they found more information on her first fiancé before Michael. Eddie, Hen, and Maddie are all in therapy as am I, I have hardly slept the past month. First, the tsunami, and then I get attacked, Eddie and I have been working hard at our relationship, we have hit many bumps so far but I'm not giving up. Not this easily.

Tonight, I am going trick-or-treating with Eddie and Christopher. Then Chris is going to a friend's house for a sleepover then Eddie and I are going to a party. It took a lot of convincing to let me be on my feet this much tonight. I had picked out my costumes already, Eddie and I were going to do a group costume with Christopher and then change to a couple costume for the party.

Christopher wanted to be Spiderman this year so Eddie chose to be Captain America, and I picked Black Widow. Christopher was so excited to get into costume, and Eddie was telling me how much he loves superheroes, last year he was Wolverine which I found absolutely adorable. I was adjusting Christopher's mask because of his glasses, but he still looked dashing. Eddie walked out of his room in Captain America's uniform. He looked incredible, I was speechless. Eddie really fit the Captain America look, I wasn't sure if it was because he was in the military but wow.

I stood up and smiled, and Eddie smiled back and wrapped his arms around me, "You look amazing,"

He shook his head lightly meaning he was flustered. "Your turn to get dressed."

"Okay," I went to walk but Eddie tossed me over his shoulder and carried me into his room where my costume was laid out. I started laughing and was set on the bed carefully. Eddie set a kiss on my lips before walking out of the room and shutting the door. I was so lucky to have him, sure we have our ups and downs, but he is the best.

I stripped out of my clothes and pulled the spandex-like material on. This outfit probably wasn't the best idea, but Eddie wanted me to be her. It was either Nat or Wanda and I didn't think Wanda's costume was child-friendly since the only Wanda costumes left were comic-accurate. So I agreed with Nat.

I looked at myself in the mirror and started to feel really insecure, the stuff that Lena said to me made me doubt myself immensely. I have never felt so insecure in my whole life, but I pulled myself together because if I couldn't manage this, my other outfit would make me cry when I looked in the mirror.
