Save me

Part 5

I stared at myself in the mirror looking at all the scars that covered my tender skin. A great tremor overtook me and tears began to race down my pale face. I couldn't hold the heartbreak back any longer and I fell to the floor in a heap as my grief poured out in a flood of uncontrollable tears.
"Pietro, I need you" I whispered.

Everything had become too much; losing my parents, life at hydra, losing pietro, destroying sokovia and now the team finding out about my secret. I didn't know how to handle it. The anxiety and flashbacks overtook me and I couldn't think, or talk, or move. I just stayed a sobbing mess on the floor.

"Wanda?" Natashas familiar voice echoed through the door causing me to jump and pull my sleeve's back down "can I come in?"

"Please leave me alone!" I covered my ears with my hands. I couldn't take it anymore. The voices were getting louder.

"Wanda honey I'm coming in" I heard the door slowly open and felt someone crouch down beside me. "Oh Wanda" I feel her wrap her arms around my small body.

"I'm sorry" I sniffle leaning into her.

"Don't be sorry дорогой" Nat rubbed my back and moving me slightly so I was now sat on her lap "it's okay, let it all out"

We stayed sat on the floor for about half an hour before I had finally calmed down.

"Are you alright now дорогой?" Nat asked me, I just nodded and cuddled into her. I know it was stupid but I just really needed some form of comfort right now. She smiled softly and cuddled me back stroking her hand through my dark brown hair. "So Wanda I need to ask you about something..." Natasha began. My mind suddenly jumped back to how I had  gotten into this state in the first place. I shuffled of her lap and sighed.

"Okay" I replied knowing where this was going

"You haven't been hurting yourself have you?" Nat asked hesitantly

"Uh no, why would you think that?" I responded quickly trying not to be suspicious.

"Okay well then can you show me your arms?"

"Do you really not trust me?" I folded my arms

"No, but if there's nothing there then it shouldn't matter right?" Nat spoke softly looking at me with pleading eyes.

"I don't have to show you anything, Your not my mom!" I suddenly snapped, this was my secret and Nat had no right to ask me about it.

"Wanda I just want to help" Nat replied with a hurt expression.

"Fine you wanna know so bad?" I walked over to her and rolled up both my sleeves causing a gasp to escape Natasha's lips "does that make you feel better?" I questioned before walking out of the room and slamming the door behind me. I could get Nat yelling at me to come back but I quickly made my way over to the elevator.

"Wanda are you okay?" Sam asked with a concerned look on his face

"IM FINE!!!" I screamed running to the stairs it bothering to wait for the elevator to arrive.
