Moving On or Moving Forward

Part 6 - The Truth Comes Out

*You walk off and head to another room in the compound, Steve follows and shuts the door behind him*

Y/N: "What the hell was that?!"

*You're angry but there's also pain in your voice*

Y/N: "You made me look like I can't stick up for myself..in front of the whole team!"

Steve: "He thinks he can just get what he wants with you, and it pisses me off!"

Y/N: "Okay, but does that mean he gets to?"

Steve: "I- no I guess-"

Y/N: "So when did you decide it was your right to choose who I can and can't sleep with?!"

"You don't own me Steve! You don't get to make these choices for me!"

Steve: "I know...I guess I just got angry and I couldn't stop myself"

"I didn't like the way he talked about you so I said something"

"I'm sorry if that upset you"

Y/N "What upsets me it's that 6 months ago when I cared, you didn't"

*Your voice cracks and your eyes start to tear up*

"And now all of a sudden, you do? How am I supposed to feel?"

Steve: "I didn't not care"

Y/N: "What.."

Steve: "6 months ago, when I left that morning, I didn't leave because I didn't care about you. It was because I cared that I left"

Y/N: "Steve what are you trying to say?"

Steve: "As much as I knew it would hurt that I left, I guess I knew being with me would be harder.."

Y/N: "Why did you think that was your decision to make?"

Steve: "What?"

Y/N: "Why did you think that whether being with you or not was your decision?"

Steve: "Because I know what happens to the people closest to me, to the people I care about the most and I couldn't let that happen to you"

*You're silent for a while whilst you take in what he's just said*

Steve: "Y/N? Please say something"

Y/N: "I..I don't know what to say. I don't know if I can do this right now"

*You get up*

Steve: "Y/N, please don't leave, can we talk about this?"

Y/N: "Steve I don't know what you expect me to say but it's not gonna be what you want to hear"

Steve: "I realise this is a lot and maybe it comes too late but seeing you again tonight, it made me realise how much I cared about you and how much I still do"

Y/N: "I cared about you so much and it took so much of my strength to just stop thinking about you everyday"

*You head to the door*

*Steve looks at you*

Y/N: "I'm sorry but getting over you was the hardest thing I ever had to do, I don't think I can do it again"

*You leave*
