Lucky Me

It's Captain America!

Chris' POV

"Chris! Chris! Evans!" Charlie's voice started to ring clearer in my as my eyes blinked away the fuzziness and I realised I was inside a house sitting on a couch. "Chris" Charlie sighed gentle this time. Knelt down in front of me I saw the relief washing over her face. She handed me a glass of water and I chugged it down. "Please Charlie, what's going on? Where is she? Where's Lucy?" My voice trembled almost as bad as my hands were.

"I don't know right now" she said sadly. She pushed her bangs out of her eyes and huffed. "She was going to the doctors office this morning. Told me she wasn't in work and that she needed some time" she shrugged. "I offered to go to her appointment with her, but she said she didn't need me to." She added. My eyes teared up and I tried my best to keep them in, "so..." My voice nothing more than a shaky whisper; "I'm...I'm too late....?" I wasn't sure if I was asking or stating. I felt Charlie's hand grasp mine and I looked up to her usually sparkly green eyes and they looked as dull as my own. "And I drove her to it" I blurted out. "My stupidity. Selfishness. I made her do this. To kill our baby!" I started to yell out in frustration. "I'm gonna throw up" I mumbled as I tore my hand from Charlie's and ran to the bathroom.

Charlie's POV

I could hear Chris chucking his guts up in my bathroom and I cringed. This whole thing was such a fucking mess. I grabbed my phone off the coffee table and opened my messages.

Where in the hell are you Luce?!

I threw my phone onto the carpet beside me and ran my hands through my hair, waiting for Chris to return. When he did he could have rivalled Kermit the frog for the colour of his skin. "Sorry..." He muttered as he walked back over to the couch. "You gotta do what you gotta do" I mumbled back, watching him resume his place in front of me. "No," He continued, "For turning  up here. Putting you in the middle of this. For the way I've acted through this whole thing. I-"

"it's not me you gotta be apologising to is it" I answered him. I could see the man was clearly hurting but he kinda deserved some of it. "But I can't speak to her to try and apologise. At least I am able to actually speak to you" He said. "I've fucked up so bad. So monumentally bad....I - I don't know what the fuck to do Charlie. I need to tell her. I need to explain. Regardless of what...of what's she's done because of my actions." He cried. The tears starting to pour from his eyes. No matter how hard he tried to keep them in. They weren't going to stop for anyone. "No matter what I say I know it won't fix what I did. But I just need to see her." He told me. "I'm not leaving Arizona until I have seen her"

..........

An hour ticked by and I'd still not had a reply from Lucy. I was starting to get worried myself, it wasn't like her to ignore my messages either. And I hadn't heard about how her appointment went this morning. And that worried me even more.

"I know Seb. I'm worried about him now too" I whispered down the phone as I glanced at the back door. Chris had gone outside for a smoke. "I'm amazed he'll be able to hold a smoke in his hand with the amount of shaking he's doing." I sighed. "I'm trying to keep him as calm as I can- he's only had the one panic attack since he got here. I want him to stay that way, I- no I've still not heard from Lucy" He interrupted to ask if Lucy had gotten in contact and I was about to suggest me calling her when my phone beeped in my ear. "Hang on" I said to Sebastian as I pulled the phone from my ear and I looked at the notification.

"Huh"
"what?" Sebastian asked. "She's at work."
"What?!" Seb repeated but this time confused. "She's just messaged to say she was with Groot for his assessment and couldn't get to her phone"

"she's with Groot?" An unexpected voice made me jump out my skin and I spun around to find Chris in the doorway to the dining room. I pulled the phone from my eye as I looked back at him dumbfounded.
