Good At Surviving || Bucky Barnes ||

Chapter 18

"Oh shit what time is it?" I asked fast and took jacket away from my face.

I still kept it in my hands though. Cause it was soft. And it smelt like him.

ANYWAY.

"How am I supposed to know?" said Bucky.

"Right you're old. You don't have a phone." I said as I reached in my pocket.

"Neither do you doll. You threw it through the car window, remember?"

"Smooth." I mumbled and stood up.

I forgot I was sitting on the edge of the cliff. As I got up on my feet I accidentally took a step backwards.

I lost the ground under my feet.

"Mia!" Bucky got up immediately and caught me in the last moment.

He pulled me back up and we both fell on the ground.

"That was ... close." I said out of breath, still in shock as I was looking up at the stars.

"Don't you dare scare me like this again." said Bucky, also out of breath.

"It's not like I did it on purpose!" I protested and looked at him.

"Weren't you supposed to go somewhere?" he asked.

"Actually... if I'm being honest... I have nowhere to go Buck." I said and rolled on the side, on my hip to face him.

"What do you mean?" he asked confused, still looking at the stars.

"Well let's be honest. I can't just show up at my brother's place with you... and my old apartment? I haven't paid the rent since ... well let's just say if the owner saw me I would have to use my fighting skills ..." I mumbled the last part.

"You know that you don't have to stay with me, right?" he asked.

"So I should just let you go? Again?"

"I mean..." he took a deep breath and still avoided looking at me. "It's not like you have a reason to stay." he said a bit quietly.

"You can't be serious..."

"Mia you know it's dangerous to go anywhere with me. I'm dangerous." he finally looked at me.

"You had a chance to kill me. And not just one. But you didn't. Why?" I said a bit hurt.

"I don't know." was all he said.

"Well if that's the case.." I stood up. "Listen. I spent my last money on the gas to get to DC with a car from my brother's girlfriend. Why? Because I wanted to find you. To help you. Cause I can't get you of my head even when I try to. And believe me. I tried. But the first time I saw you, you stole that part of me that I only get back when I'm with you." My voice started to shake so I stopped talking.

He was now sitting and looking at his hands. "What are you trying to say?"

I smiled sadly. "You know what Buck? Find me if you figure it out." I said quietly and started walking away, back to the car.

As I was walking away I didn't turn around. Until someone grabbed my hand. I was ready to fight whoever was trying to stop me.

I turned around.

It was Bucky.

He was close. So close that I could feel his breath on my skin.

It was dark outside, but I could still see his face.

"What do you want?" I asked looking at his so damn beautiful eyes.

"You."
