Tony Stark's Daughter

Chapter 10

I finally get sick of standing under the water and get out of the shower. I stood in the shower for about 35 minutes. I get out and grab a towel that hangs beside the shower on the wall. It is a pretty blue and purple ombré.

I wrap it around my wet, bare body before heading out of the bathroom to get dressed. I walk out of the bathroom and see Loki laying on the bed, legs crossed, reading.

"Umm, hi." I say awkwardly. "Can you get out please?" I clutch my towel tighter around my body.

Loki looks up from his book at me "Oh! Y-yeah sorry." He stutters as he rolls off the bed keeping his head down trying not to look at me again. I chuckle at the sight of Loki stumbling towards the direction of the door with his head down.

He gets to the door but almost runs into it. He opens the door and leaves closing it behind him. I let out a sigh and go to my suit case that lays on the floor across the room.

I open up the suit case and grab a pair of sweatpants and a sweater to cover my arms. I throw the cloths to the bed and close the suit case.

There is a huge mirror on one of the walls and I look at my self in it. I can see my burns on my body and the scars on my arms.

I look horrible. I'm a monstrosity. My brain gets the best of me and starts putting horrid thoughts about my self in my head. People just feel bad for you. Your a disappointment.

My eyes start to water up as these thoughts run though my head. I shake my head to get the thoughts out but they won't go away.

You are worthless. You're not needed. No one loves you.

I start to lose my breath. It's getting harder and harder to breath properly. I clench my chest in pain and sink to the floor leaning against the bed. My breathing becomes short and shuddery as tears fall from my face.

I let out a quiet sob and just sit by my self on the floor. I sit there for 20 minutes in my own tears trying to calm down. It happens once I'm a while and I still haven't been able to control them or ignore them. I have troubles looking in the mirror because of this.

I stand up and get dressed into a plain black sweater and some jogging pants not wanting to try and put on leggings, my face is still puffy and my eyes are red, but I can just make up an excuse to Loki.

I go to the bathroom rinse off the tear stains on my cheeks before leaving the room. I head to the doors, I take a deep breath and open the doors.

Loki is sitting on the couch reading like always. He looks up from the book to see my standing by the doors. Seeing meet with my red spotted face.

"Hey are you ok? You look like you have been crying." he says placing down his book on the table in front.

I think of an excuse that's good enough to use. "I-I just stubbed my toe that's it." I blurted. That probably wasn't the best one to use usually you don't ball your eyes out over that. I could have just said my burns hurt but to be honest they are the last thing on my mind right now plus loki would be more worried if I did say that.

"Oh ok. Anyways, what would you like to do now. I was thinking we go to the beach but with your burns and it getting kinda late it might be better to go another day." Loki says streching.

"I was just thinking we could binge watch movies or something. I have no energy to do anything." I say coming over to the couch and plopping down beside him.

"Ok, but are you sure you're ok? Your eyes are red and puffy." loki says looking over to me. I didn't want to lie to him but I don't want to tell him these things, I don't want people to worry about me. I'm already to much of a nusenses to my family and friends.

"Don't worry about me. I'm fine." loki still doesn't believe me fully but he keeps quiet not wanted to trigger anything.

We put on the hobbit movies as well as the Lord of the rings and relax on the couch together. At one point loki got scared when he was making microwave popcorn for the first time. It was the funniest thing ever, although he didn't think so.

I ordered in enough chinese food for 4 people but loki hadn't had it before and I wanted him to try everything to have the full experience. The surprisingly small about of chinese left overs were stored in the mini fridge for another time.

At one point I brought out the small amount of alcohol in the hotel room. By the end of the night it was gone. Neither of us got really drunk, well loki can't really but I just got a little tipsy.

We stayed up til 11:30 or so and we both ended up crashing on the bed. We ended up sharing the bed but at that moment I didn't care all I wanted to do was sleep. Over all it was a good end to a crappy day. I sorta liked that loki was here. I realize I don't really want to be alone in Florida.
