May 19 2015-Sarah's Room-Sarah's POV

Right now i'm sitting underneath all of my blankets, hiding from the world because i'm probably about to get Mr. James and I kicked out of here. Interrupting my thoughts, I hear quiet footsteps coming up the staircase, so I curl up tighter in my ball.

"Can we talk?" Steve's voice asks from my doorway

I stay as still as I can, but his footsteps get closer.

"Sarah.." he says in a soft sing-song tone

He footsteps get a little closer

"Where's Baby?" Steve sing-songs again

I stay still, though the endearment makes me want to smile..if this was all really happening.

"Are you asleep?" he walks over to the bed

"No." I break the silence

He walks over and sits by where my legs are curled up since my head is by the bottom of my bed.

"Is Tony gonna make me leave?" I ask carefully

"No, I think you actually gave him some entertainment for today." Steve chuckles as he puts his hand on my hip

I stiffen up

"Is that your shoulder? I meant to grab your shoulder." he rips his hand away

"You can move the blankets." I mumble

Soon the light from the room engulfs me in its warming embrace, untensing my muscles and allowing me to relax a little bit.

"There you are!" he exclaims as if he's playing hide and seek with a toddler

"Here I am." I sigh as I stay in my ball

He moves from the top of my bed to the floor of my room by my bed so that he can see my face as he talks.

"I didn't mean to hurt him so much, my emotions got the best of me for some reason. I don't understand why because that never happens." I mention

"He's okay, I think he feels bad for what he did. I think your emotions took over because you have an emotional connection to him..as much as you are a kid to me, you've lived more than I have and I think you two could be good friends."

I look up at Steve through my eyelashes.

"Why are you hiding out in here? We could've gone running or something." Steve smiles slightly

"I'm gonna get in trouble." I tell him as I hide my face in my blankets

"For beating up Sam? He'll be fine, he can handle himself. I mean you should apologize soon, but he's not upset about you hitting him."

"I broke his nose." I try to point out

"Did you try to?"

"No."

"Then okay." Steve adds

"Somebody's gonna come in here and punish me for fighting a person I work with, I figured I might as well say goodbye to the comfort of my bed for now."

"No one's gonna punish you, you were doing what you thought was right. When I do what I think is right, I take half a city down with me." Steve chuckles

You make less of a mess than Tony does though..

"Do you try to take half a city down with you?" I flip his words from a few minutes ago

"No."

"Then okay." I point out

"You're a great person." Steve tries to make a point
