High School (AU) (Avengers)

Chapter nine

Steve's POV
I ran to the end zone but then I saw something in my way and it was to late to dodge or stop so we ran right into each other. I fell to the ground and everything went black. I woke up a little and I could tell that people were standing over me and that Bucky was by my side. Then everything went black again until we were in the ambulance. Bucky was sitting next to a paramedic.
"What happened?" I asked.
"You got hit pretty hard when you were playing football, so we're going to take you to the hospital for further evaluation," the paramedic said.
"Did I break anything?" I asked worried about the season.
"Not that I can tell from here but you will probably get a full body X-ray."
"So my arm isn't damaged," I said with a sigh of relief.
"Not that I can tell."
We got to the hospital and they wheeled me to a small but private room. Bucky sat in a chair next to me. A doctor walked in carrying a chart.
"So what seems to be the problem?" he asked.
"You're the one with the chart, you tell me," I said.
"You got hit playing football, Is that correct?" He asked.
"Yes."
"What hurts?"
"Nothing."
"Nothing?" He asked as though I was lying.
"Nope."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive."
"Not even your head."
"Nope."
"I'm going to order you a full body X-ray and an CT."
"Why, I just told you I was fine."
"No you just told me nothing hurts, not that you were fine."
The doctor left to order the scans and I turned to Bucky.
"My head hurts really bad," I said.
"Why didn't you tell him that?"
"Because I don't like him."
"Just because you don't like him doesn't mean you have to lie about your health."
"He'll find out eventually."
"Anything else hurt?"
"Not really just a little sore."
"Are you lying to me?"
"Why would I lie to you."
"I don't know."
We sat in silence for a couple minutes until a nurse came to take me to get a scan.

Bucky's POV

They took Steve to go get an X-ray so I sat alone in the room. After thirty minutes I got bored and started wondering the halls. I saw a lot of things I wish I didn't but other than that the hospital was pretty interesting. People rushing from place to place, a lot of beeps and noises, and other things. I heard a familiar voice yelling at someone. I walked to where I heard the noise and I saw Sam yelling at a doctor. I ran towards him.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"This doctor won't let me see Steve." Sam said.
"You friend is getting an X-ray. You are not allowed to go back there," the doctor said sternly.
"Sam come on you can see him later," I pulled on his arm but he wouldn't budge.
"No, I want to see him now," Sam said.
"I'm going to call security if you don't go away right now."
"Sam come on let's go get something to eat," I said intervening.
Sam stared at the doctor like he was going to kill him and finally walked down the hallway I came from. I stayed for a minute to talk to the doctor.
"Sorry about that," I said, "And by the way Steve's head hurts."
"How do you know?" He asked with an eyebrow raised.
"He told me."
"Why didn't he tell me."
"He doesn't like you," I said walking off to catch up with Sam.
"Sam, why did you do that," I asked him when I caught up.
"I wanted to see Steve."
"He's fine. He just got a little scratched up."
"But what if it's more than that and they're not telling us."
"Let's just go get food," I said getting a little exasperated.
"Where's the cafeteria?"
"I have no idea."
"Clint and Natasha are on there way," he informed me.
"Yeah, so are Bruce and Tony."
"I'll text them that we'll be in the cafeteria."
"Ok."
We found the cafeteria after following the signs. We got some food that surprisingly tasted pretty good. Clint and Natasha arrived twenty minutes later and Bruce and Tony came fifteen minutes after Clint and Natasha. We all sat together at the table in the middle of the hospital cafeteria.
"This is ridiculous," Bruce said.
"What is?" I asked.
"Just sitting here and waiting, an X-ray can't take that long."
"He's also getting an CT."
"I'm going to go get some answers."
Bruce got up and walked down the hallway towards the ER. We all ate and talked about nothing in particular. Bruce came back and said that Steve was getting his CT scan done. We all walked back to the ER and found something a little surprising. Thor and Loki were there but obviously not for Steve.
