The Ends Of The Earth

chapter fifteen- birthday girl's suprise

Birthday girl's surprise  

Two month later and liza's mental heath had improved significantly. Talking to bucky about what she thought and felt had been the main reason for this improvement. She wasn't keeping things bottled up anymore. If she ever had negative thoughts she would go straight to bucky and they would talk about it together.

When I say significantly I mean she is doing better than she had ever been before. She still has nightmares and she still has problems with sleeping. And her memory problems have yet to disappear. Things were still very bad but to her that was normal.

On a different note, today's her birthday. She'll be 22 today and she didn't feel anything about it. It was a normal day for her. She actually forgot about it all together.

With being in a hydra base for three of her birthdays it didn't mean much to her anymore. She didn't celebrate it and it was never recognized like it usually would have been if she hadn't been taken.

"Wake up doll" bucky shook her shoulder. "No" she groaned. Liza picked up the pillow and put it over her face so she wouldn't have to see the bright sun through the window. "Come on" he groaned. "If you don't get up I'll jump on you"

"That's fine" liza's voice was muffled by the pillow. Bucky jumped onto her and layed on her stomach. "Get up. Get up. Get up" he pestered. "No. No. No"

"Fine" he huffed and stood up. "Thank y-" Liza shrieked when she was picked up and thrown over bucky's shoulder. "I guess I'll just carry you then"

"James Buchanan Barnes" she scolded. "Yes ma'am?" He spoke in a teasing tone. "Put. Me. Down"

"If you say so" he threw her onto the couch and she bounced up from the cushions. "You got her up" Clint cheered happily. "He carried me here then threw me on the couch" she exclaimed.

"Yes, but it got you up" he shrugged and set a plate on the counter for Liza. She sat up and looked at the food. "You made waffles?" She asked excitedly forgetting what happened only seconds ago. "Yeah and I made enough for all of us this time" Clint sent a glare in Natasha's direction to which she just shrugged.

Liza quickly got off the couch and ran to sit on the stool. "Thank you!" Liza beamed looking at her waffles. "You're welcome princess" Clint gave her a kiss on the head as he walked around the counter.

"Make waffles to get you up. Noted" bucky hopped onto the stool next to her. "Waffles is the key to my heart bucky barnes" she smiled up at him before eating a peice of waffle on her fork.

"Of course it is" he chuckled and shook his head. "So what do you plan on doing today?" Clint asked her expecting a busy schedule due to her birthday. "Uh I don't know. Not much, why?"

"Becuase It's your birthday today" Tony said in a 'duh' tone. "It is?" She asked not really caring too much about it. "Yeah which means I'm throwing you a party becuase you obviously don't have anything planned considering you didn't even know it was your own birthday"

"No I don't want a party" she shook her head in disapproval. He rolled his eyes but reluctantly agreed to not throwing a massive party for her.

"Happy birthday Liza" Steve said warmly. "Thanks" she smiled faintly. Liza hoped off the stool and went to wash the dishes in the sink. "No. I don't think so" bucky rushed up to her before she could start, stepping in front of the sink. Her eyebrows furrowed and she took a small step back so she wouldn't bump into him.

"What?" She asked. "You're not washing the dishes today" he shook his head. "But it's my day to" she looked over at the small chore list on the fridge, which was made by pepper. "I'll do them" he shrugged. "I have no problem washing the dishes"
