The next night as we got ready for the football game...

"I don't know what to wear!" Wanda complained and flopped onto my bed.

"Seriously? It's a football game not the prom." I chuckled and sat next to her.

"Can I take something from your closet?" she asked.

"Go for it." I said. She quickly got up and rushed to my closet searching through every piece of clothing.

"How about this?" A heat rushed to my cheeks as she held my black Astro Boy hoodie up to her body. My father had bought it for me and it has been my favorite hoodie ever since. Although I never wear it because I know people will make fun of me for it. "You okay?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah I'm fine." I said and looked away as I noticed I was staring.

"Is that a no for this one?" 

"No, no. You can wear that one."

"Okay, great," She pulled the hoodie over her head and put her hair in a high ponytail. She looked adorable. 

Fuck me. Wait! No, not like that, I mean I wouldn't mi-NO! Why am I having a conversation in my head? Oh my god. Why does she have to be so adorable?!

"Let's go." She grabbed my wrist and led me out of the house. The drive to the game was full of us blasting Katy Perry and AC/DC. It was nice and it was new. I mean my car rides with Sarah were always silent or full of us ranting on about something.

"Y/n! I can't believe you just did that!" Wanda shouted at me as I  drove us home, but you could tell she was holding back a laugh.

"Oh, come on. They deserved it." Sarah said from the backseat.

"That is not the- not the point." Her humor towards the situation was getting harder to hide.

"I only gave him a black eye." I said.

"And a split lip. Not to mention you broke the girl's nose." Sarah said.

"How are you doing back there?" I asked.

"Eh, eye's still throbbing. But it was completely worth it." she answered and then threw herself back onto the seats.

"Did you really have to give her tequila?" Wanda asked.

"Her boyfriend cheated on her with her friend. Tequila is the only option."

"Fair point." she said. The car ride to Sarah's was silent except for the occasional small snore from the backseat. We arrived at Sarah's dorm and I carried her inside since she didn't want to get up.

"You should-you should tell her." Sarah slurred as I laid her down on her bed.

"Of course you wake up now." 

"She-she likes..." She stooped for a moment. "she likes you too. You can-you can tell."

"Go back to bed." I said and left just as silently as we entered.

You ever look at someone and just know. Like you look at them and you can imagine yourself with only them for the rest of time. They are everything you want, everything you need. And it hurts, when you look at them and all you can see is your future. That's what she is to me. Someone I want so bad but someone I can never have.

"So...how was your first football game?" I joked.

"Honestly, not so bad." Wanda replied..

"Really?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. "Were you not just yelling at me two seconds ago?"

"Okay, it didn't go as smoothly as planned. But it was fun."

"Happy to hear that." We made eye contact and held it for at least a couple of minutes before she broke it to look at the road.

"Y/N, WATCH OUT!" I heard her scream but by the time I turned my head it was too late. The car had blew up in flames. The car flipped not once, not twice but three times before landing upside down on the road. A sharp pain shot up through my body, I felt numb in all places as the steering wheel crushed against my ribs but I wasn't worried about that.

"Wanda? Wan-Wanda, are you o-okay?" I struggled to get the words out my mouth loud enough for her to hear.

"I-I think-I think so." I looked over to see her pulling at the seatbelt trying her hardest to pry it off but it didn't budge. Not long after heavy boots walking sounded like they were coming towards the car. Wanda struggled more. The boots came to a stop and so did Wanda's struggle. Everything was silent. The passenger door flew off, a loud crash sounding as it hit the road.

The person, who I assume has taken the door off and probably caused to car to go rolling backwards, peeked their head into the car. They wore a thick black mask but you could tell they were grinning due to the mask shifting up.

"Who-who are you?" I breathed out. My vision had started to blur. A tight sensation in my stomach grew but it wasn't from the wheel. It was more of an anxiety feeling. The feeling of not knowing what's about to happen but knowing that it's not going to be good.

The figure stood quiet. They reached over to the seatbelt wrapped snug around Wanda and yanked it off like it was nothing. Everything went black for a moment and when my view returned I saw Wanda struggling against at the figure's grip. Then things went black again. My eyes fluttered back open to the sound of her calling my name but I couldn't respond. A taste of metal filling my mouth as once again everything went black.

This time when I opened my eyes, I wasn't in the crushed car. I was in a bright room. The walls were whites and looked and felt like stone, a blue couch sat right next to the brown door with a glass in the center of it. Next to me were tubes and machines. The heart beat monitor starting to beep faster as I recognized where I was.

Two doctors rushed in followed by a worried Natasha and Clint.

"Y/N! You're awake!" Natasha breathed out happily as she ran over and gave me a hug. I didn't respond though, my mind being otherwise occupied.

"Where's-where's Wanda? Is she-is she okay? Did they hurt her?" I asked frantically.

"Woah, woah. Y/n, calm down." Clint said as he put a hand on my shoulder but I only tensed at the touch. I went to sit up but a sharp pain shot up my neck from my abdomen.

"Hey, take it easy. You don't wanna pop your stiches." Natasha said.

"Stiches? Why do I have stiches? Where's Wanda? What's going on?!" I started to panic. My breathing becoming more rapid as my throat felt as if it were closing. I threw my hands up and gripped at my hair, pulling it to make the pain stop to make the thoughts stop to make everything stop. Everything went black again.
