I wake up suddenly. I sit on my bed. Since my memory came back, I haven't had the same nightmares. Before I saw myself at the top of a building with a person pushing me and me spanking a free fall. Now I see two soldiers coming to tell me of my fiancé's death, his burial without his body and without his best friend. This is the third nightmare I have had since the start of the week and it is not only Wednesday. I get up, leave my room and knock on his door. No one answers, to tell the truth it is 4 o'clock and I know that sleeping is a passion for him. So I gently open the door and see him sleeping. He looks for the button to turn on his lamp.- "Another nightmare?"- "Sorry Bucky, I didn't mean to wake you up."- "Go tell me everything".I lie down next to him, he takes me in his arms, finally his arm.- "They had come again to tell you about your disappearance".- "You know that now it's over. I'm with you".- "I know Buck ..."He laughs and runs his hand through my hair.- "It's been 2 months that we regained our memory and this is the first time that you reminded me like that".- "I love to call you like that".I turn around, put my hand on her cheek. Bring my lips closer to his then kiss him.- "I wanted to do this before leaving".He sits, I sit on him. I kiss her before lying down and falling asleep in her arms.________________________________________________________________________________I watch T'Challa talk to Bucky. I know very well what they are saying to each other. Once the stone is removed I won't remember anything, Bucky will do anything to remember who I was and I don't want to. It will hurt him more than anything else. Tony hands me a tablet.- "You will be installed in this machine. The lasers will draw a circle around the earth before ..."- "Stop, I don't want to know. I want to take advantage of my last 10 minutes without talking about it".I walk towards them, a tear runs down my cheek.- "I'm not going to make a big speech, I've always been bad at this kind of thing. Don't come see me to remind me who I was. I don't want to see you suffer".I take them all in my arms. Shuri is crying, it's the first time I've seen her like this.- "You know, even though I've always lived in Wakanda. You're my only friend. So I'll miss you."I walk towards T'Challa. We don't even talk, we know it's going to break the hearts of both of us. It's Bucky's time, it's too hard. I can't act like this, he was nobody. He takes off his necklace and gives me the ring.- "I will always love you, even if you will not be there to see it any more. So we are not engaged yet. We two, we love each other so you will keep this ring because I am your betrothed ".-"Buck, I love you too. You know we'll meet again, like we always do."He kisses me and hugs me. I step into the machine, smile before nodding to tell Bruce he can start the machine. I feel the lasers, it is an excruciating pain that gradually lulls me to sleep. I see Bucky's smile and close my eyes.
