The amount of times I called Sam and tried to talk to him these past couple of days is ridiculous. He hasn't responded to me at all and I just want to talk.
"What's wrong with you?"
"What?"
"You're doing that thing again."
"What thing?"
"You know your angry face thing. Where you just stare at nothing and you look pissed off."
"You mean not spewing my unnecessary problems to you and everyone else here by keeping my mouth shut?"
"It's not unnecessary if it's making you mad."
I sigh avoiding his gaze trying my best to not spill and just keep this to myself.
"It's nothing, it's just my old friend has been pissing me off."
"Wow...you got friends beside me?" He says looking surprised.
I glare at him and toss my knife.
"Woah! I'm just joking—you trying to kill me?!"
I roll my eyes and walk around the counter and grab it off the wall it was sticking out of.
"Relax I wasn't trying to hit you. Believe me, if I did you would've been hit."
I shove my knife back into the strap that I have on my pants and look at the time.
"My shift is over in like five minutes so imma go," I tell him taking off this little apron I have on.
"Alright but I don't want to see that knife of yours on you anymore here, got it?"
"Fine."
I walk to the back and my phone starts buzzing. I rush to grab it and see Sams's name light up on the screen. I answer it so fast.
"Hi...Sam?"
"Hey, Jane. How are you?"
I take a breath and walk out to the back of the bar for a second so no one can hear me.
"I'm..good. What about you?"
"I'm good."
"Yeah?... I saw you, on the news."
The line went silent for a minute and I wondered if he had hung up.
"Yeah, listen I was gonna talk to you about that.."
"Really? When?"
I heard him sigh into the phone and I could already feel tears pool in my eyes from this frustration.
"I was going to tell you Jane but-I've been busy ok?"
"Ok, but when were you going to tell me that Cap gave you his shield? Or that you were going to give it up like that? Or where you hoping I would find out on my own like today and just not talk to you about it?"
"Look we can talk about this some other time, I'm planning on heading over there to see you anyway."
"Oh were you?"
"Yes. Anyway, I have some stuff going on at work and home I need to take care of."
I sat upright at his response. Work stuff?
