Sambucky - Figuring out feelings: Book 1, 2 And 3

Book 2: Chapter 20: Gunshot

Tw: Suicide mentions, attempted suicide.

Bucky had to get out of here. He felt confused and he needed to clear his mind. Someone had managed to control him and for what? Whoever it was (Probably Alex) hadn't even done anything with the free time...unless it wasn't obvious.

Bucky began walking down the stairs to get to Olivia so he could go home. He couldn't stand being here anymore. Especially now that a large portion of the party had caught him and Sam kissing.

And Bucky hadn't even been aware of it!

As Bucky reached the door to the main party room he paused. He was...

Scared.

What would people do? Beat him up?

Well if anyone tried it Bucky would just kill them. Or threaten to.

But he knew he wouldn't actually do that.

The door swung open and Bucky instantly set his sights on Olivia. She noticed him right away and tilted her head. He nodded and began heading towards her.

People were looking at him. No one speaking but he was definitely being stared at. He was almost at the exit.

Oh no.

Alex stood in front of him a smirk on his face. Bucky went to step around him but Alex raised a hand to stop him. Bucky felt himself glaring at the... Man in front of him.

If that's what he was. He could still be a robot.

Bucky prepared himself.

'Excuse me' He tried to step past him again.

'Bucky! How are you?'

Bucky glared at him. How dare he call him that.

'So you and Sam are a couple?'

Bucky ignored him and walked past, grabbing Olivias hand and towing her behind him. Alex was still following him.

'Don't worry I'm moving out of Sam's apartment tonight so you have no need to worry'

Bucky pushed the door open, not bothering to hold it for Alex but he kept following.

They were heading for the car now.

'Hey Bucky! I just want to let you know that... I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU THAT YOU BETTER STAY OUT OF MY WAY'

Bucky turned at last, a bored expression on his face. He didn't have the patience for this.

'Hey Olivia, get in the car'
'Do you want me to drive it around for a quick getaway?'
'I'm not gonna do anything to him!'

Olivia nodded, smirking.

'OK then'

She jumped in the car and closed the door.

Bucky stepped towards Alex. He could see the man struggle to stay calm. He was obviously a bit scared of Bucky.

Good.

'So Alex, I'm just a bit confused about your job here? Why does everyone think you're so important? Why should anyone care about you? Seems a bit suspicious... You just appear out of nowhere and straight away everyone loves you and you're given a job! What's your trick?'

Alex looked taken aback. He took a second, looking at Bucky like he hadn't even heard him.

Then he reached out for Bucky. Bucky flinched and pulled away.

'What are you doing?'
'Stay still! '

Bucky pushed his hand away. He was getting nervous.

'What are you doing-'

Alex grabbed his wrist and Bucky's head was flooded with words.

Hi James! Remember me!?

'No... No!'

I mean you obviously figured it out by now... But I can't have you telling people.

'Get away from me!'

Bucky tried to push Alex's hand away. Everything was getting blurry. The building had disappeared.

Don't fight it. Just listen to me. I want you to kill yourself for me. Here's a gun.

A gun was pushed into Bucky's hand. It felt right.

Just a little shot and it's over.

'Yeah...'

OK James? You'll do that for me? Go back upstairs and do it in room 12.

'Yes'

Good. Now goodbye. Enjoy dying.

Alex pulled away and Bucky swayed on his feet.

'Tell the girl you have to get something'
'Yes'

Alex walked away. Bucky shook his head, confused.

He knew what he had to do.

He looked at the gun and put it away. He didn't want people thinking he was going to shoot them.

'Olivia. I have to get something from upstairs. Room 12'

He didn't know why he told her the room number but part of him knew it would help. Part of him was confused as to why he had to die but he shrugged it off.

He didn't matter.

Olivia nodded, looking perplexed but she left it.

'Be quick'
'Yep'

Bucky walked back in to the building. He didn't notice any of the looks people were giving him. He just walked to the stairs and began heading up.

Just a little shot and it's over.

It wouldn't hurt.

Just a little shot and it's over.

No one would miss him.

He had reached room 12, the door easily opened. He closed it gently behind him.

He looked at the room in front of him. He struggled to remember something.

Something to do with Sam...

He shrugged the thought off. It was time. He took the gun out and inspected it. This would be the end.

He walked to the balcony and felt strangely relieved. It was all over. He could rest now.

He lifted the gun up and paused. Something felt wrong.

Something was off.

How did he get here?

Just a little shot and it's over.

Yes.

Just a little shot and it's over.

It was time.

He raised the gun to his temple and prepared himself.

'Goodbye'

Suddenly he heard a sound from behind him.

'Bucky!'

Steps. Coming up to the room. The door swing open.

'No!'

He pulled the trigger.

HI! Um... I'm sorry.

Yes another cliffhanger.

I'm sorry this chapter was so short but it didn't need to be super long so...

I hope you enjoyed it nevertheless ☺
