Fifty Shades of Barnes

Vintage Flame

My heart fell to my stomach, yet I could still hear it pounding its loud and repetitive rhythm in my head.

"What?" I said in a cold and quiet tone. Bucky's knuckles were white and on the verge of breaking the counter in half. 

"The leader of hy-"

"Yes, I know about that dumbass. But fucking Eugene!? I dated that toxic piece of shit." My breathing began to accelerate making me feel dizzy in my chair. Tony continued to ramble on, "Y/n you had no control of what he did to you but right now he's planning to plot against us till we... stop... him."

"What. I. What's happening? I need a drink." I walked over to Tony's luxury bar until the entire room began to spin. It kept spinning. Faster and faster the spinning didn't stop. The people around me grew into blobs of color as their voices were muffled. Round and round the room went. My eyes grew heavy. My head began to hurt. Until there was darkness.

I sat at the empty table in my vintage pink satin dress staring out the window waiting for Eugene to arrive home. I heard his car pull up to the driveway as I took a sip of my Apothic red wine. The door opened as I stood up from my seat.

"Welcome Home Eugene. I already-"

"Ahh shut it you try hard. Do me a favor and grab me a beer honey." I shut my mouth and took a deep breath controlling my anger.

"Y-you know you don't have to yell, I was just welcoming you home." I turned to get his beer when he grabbed my arm tightly. I tried to escape his grasp, but his grip was so tight it turned my arm purple.

"Let go of me."

"I will not tolerate your bullshit Y/n. I have been nothing but there for you and how do you repay me? You argue and talk back to me whenever I ask you to do something. You won't keep your goddamn mouth shut." He grabs ahold of my hair.

"You see this? Huh? I paid for your hair appointments." He holds up my hand as I squeal and beg him to stop.
"These fucking nails you care about so much. I paid for them. Your expensive clothes I pay for them. I mean fuck you wouldn't be successful if it weren't for me." He lets go of my hair after he lets out a hard punch to my face. I could taste the blood as it flowed out of a cut on the inside of my mouth.

"Please stop Eugene. I'll do anything you want, just please stop. You're hurting me." I tried to suck in the tears but it was too late, they created a strong river flowing down my cheeks.

"Oh so now the whore wants to beg for mercy." He tilted his head to the side letting out a soft sigh. He crouched down slowly approaching me as I hunched myself away from him. My breathing was so quick I was sure I was having a panic attack.

He lets out a hand while I cower away in a corner, I was cornered. His hand touched my cheek, I was startled at first but his touch gave me comfort.

" Listen you can't talk back at me like that ok? Or else I get pissed of and have an outburst like that." His thumb rubbed a tear out of my face, he gave me a smile that didn't reach his brown eyes. Pulling his hand away from my cheek he stood up. "Get up you look like a mess, and also clean this up it looks like a pigsty." I nodded wiping away my tears, it didn't help they kept falling down my face. "Y-Yes, dear."

I gasped sitting upright in my bed, I checked the clock on my nightstand, It was 3 in the afternoon. The record player in the corner of my room quietly played I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire. It looked like the beginning of a horror movie.
