The Avengers

Chapter 2

Steve POV : All my classes have been extremely boring so I was looking forward to meet up ... I don't even know her name. 

*Dismissal Bell Rings*

I grab my things and start to make my way to room 205 (his science room) to talk with her. The door was shut but I heard two people talking. I heard someone was struggling and was getting quietly scolded. "You better keep our deal otherwise I'll expose you. And don't you dare tell anyone, not your parents, friends , No one". I hear the door open and I jumped around the corner. It was Mr. Foster ... He looked pissed good thing he stormed off in the other direction. As I approach the door I see Ms. Carter crying while packing her things. "H-hey are you okay, what happened" I said to comfort her even though I know. As I turn her around she tries to cover some bruises on her side with her lab coat. "Did Mr. Foster..." As she denied I knew those didn't happen now but I knew by whom. "Listen could we reschedule I need to go home". "No I'm going to take you out ... w-well I mean ... No I will and we'll for get everything that happened and have a great night". "My parents won't allow me to stay up late". "I'll convince them".

They leave school and go to Mr and Mrs Carters House

When they opened the door they were confused and furious of why their daughter brought a boy. "Listen Mr and Mrs Carter I know you push your daughter very hard but may she take the afternoon of"? "Of course NOT who do you think you are". "I am a friend of Ms Carter and want to make her happy". I grab her hand and start to guid her away from her house. "W-wait .. You can't just take her an.." "I'll be back before supper okay mother". "W-what N-no you". We run down the street as they shout at her. I could tell she was uncomfortable going against her parents wishes, but something tells me tonight will be perfect. 

We make it near the "Magical Park" and I have her close her eyes as I bring her to an arranged spot near a small carnival. "Okay you can open". I brought her to my step mothers restaurant. I decorated the long entrance with fairy lights and flowers.

"It's ... beautiful" she says as she gazes at the lights and butterflies. I started to walk but notice she wasn't following. "Hey are you okay". "Yes it's just I never seen anything like this. It's just perfect" she says as we make to our table.

As we get seated she just absorbs the view of the reflection of the light and moon over the sea. "So Ms Carter ... Um tell me about yourself ... if you want or yo..." "Sure .. what would you like to know" she smiles. "Anything" I say as I try to make eye contact. "I'm Steven Grant Rodgers, I am 16 and I play baseball" sheesh you're boring she says as she laughs. "Haha like you can do better" "true true ... Well my name is Shanon Carter I am 15 and I never was allowed to do anything besides school". "Wow really not even hanging out with friends"? She talked about how her parents a very strict and the friends she once had thought she was too boring and stopped talking to her. I could never and I made sure she knew that. "Now I'm sorry for bringing this up but do you want to talk about what happened". "W-what um not really ... it's something I haven't been able to tell your parents because"... "He'd blackmail you"? "H-how did you". "I left class early to walk you home and I heard you guys". She didn't respond instead I could tell she was getting really hurt but before I could do anything she got up and ran out of the restaurant. I ran after her but I couldn't find her anywhere. I looked up and down throughout the park ... nothing. As I was about to look over the spots I have looked I saw her curled up sitting on a dock.

She was still crying? It's been over 15 minutes. I walked up to her but she didn't bother to look at me. As I sat down her crying started to intensify. I tried to pull her into a hug but she tried to leave. As she got up and started to leave, I hugged her from behind to where she couldn't leave. She just started crying harder so I helped her sit back down on the dock. She was now crying into my shoulder, hard. She squeezed my hand and arm in pain but I couldn't feel it ... I could only feel her pain. I sat there comforting her trying to calm her down. Overtime her crying began to lessen along with her grip. I dried her tears and gave her my necklace. "This was my brothers before he went missing.. I want you to have it so you know I will always be there for you, okay" I said as I put it on her. 

"You , I-it looks great on  you" I say as I brushed her hair back. She wasn't making eye contact with me, I knew something else was wrong. "Hey you know you can tell me anything right". "I know it's just I ... I don't know, I just feel really weird. I think It's time for me to go home". "Sure anything you want". I say as I help her up and we make our way to the exit. It was getting to be around dinner time and I really don't want her and her parents to argue. 

They make it to her house

As her parents open the door and bring her inside I ask for a minute to talk with her parents. Her mother brought Shannon to her room and her father came outside. "Listen I don't know what you want for her but you better no..." "Sir I apologize to interrupt you but I have no intentions of hurting your daughter, I'm actually trying to help. She was very upset about something personal please take it easier on her". "Y-yes I've learned we have been too hard on her, thank you"... "Steve , Steven Rodgers Sir .. Have a good night".
