The Archer-Kate Bishop

Part 51

I sat in the passenger seat of the car as my dad drove the pickup truck down the gravel road, stones bounced up and hit the side of the car clanging against the metal.

"Be honest how are you doing?" Clint asked.

"Dad I told you I'm fine" I replied with a slight sigh.

"Whatever you say is between us right you know that, I just I want you to talk to me if you're not ok. If your worried I'm going to tell mom or send you somewhere I won't, I promise" Clint said.

I took in a deep breath and shifted in my seat so I could look at him.

"Fine. I'm not doing ok" I sighed.

Clint nodded nodding his head for me gesturing for me to continue.

"My Um my anxiety has gotten kinda bad, I'm terrified that it's going to happen again I have these dreams every night fuck I haven't had a good night sleep in two months. I just want things to go back to the way they were with Kate and I everything was so perfect in New York we were so happy" I ranted.

"It isn't fair is it?" Clint said.

I shook my head and lowered my head down to look at my lap.

"We're here for you ok, whatever you need. Don't shut us out especially not Kate, she just wants you to be ok, she loves you so much he'll that women would buy the world for you if it made you happy" Clint said.

I chuckled lightly at the last sentence looking up to meet my dad's gaze, he had a slight smile on my face as he heard me laugh.

"That's what worries me sometimes is if that we get too attached something bad might happen again and maybe next time I won't be so lucky" I admitted.

Clint sighed and nodded in understanding.

"I get that I mean with this line of work it's hard to get attached everyone is after you and especially after the blip I found it difficult, I was so scared your mom would be taken away again but you can't live your whole life pushing people away because you're scared. Wouldn't you rather love and get hurt than not love at all? It's dangerous I know but I can tell you don't want to leave Kate" Clint said.

God he was so wise, it probably comes with his age. Clint was right I was doing more harm then good pushing everyone away.

"God I hate when you're right" I scoffed.

Clint laughed lightly shaking his head at me.

"I love you kid" Clint said smiling at me.

"I love you too dad" I replied.

He parked the car besides a park looking back at Lucky who was panting in the back seat excited. Kate was at the farmhouse doing online school so only my dad and I were able to take Lucky out.

Lucky let out a small bark making me chuckle lightly as I grabbed his lead. We walked along the path Lucky walking ahead stopping occasionally to sniff.

"If he shits I'm not picking it up" I snickered.

"He's your dog" Clint retorted.

"And? I picked it up yesterday it's your turn" I said.

Clint grumbled annoyed causing me to stifle a laugh.

"Have you talked to Kate about moving back to New York?" Clint asked.

"No not yet I don't know if I can go back" I sighed.

"There's no rush I mean Laura is absolutely adoring her girl home" Clint said.

"I know you missed me too dad" I laughed nudging him lightly.

"Fine ok I do like having you home but if you keep on feeding Nate candy before bed I will kick you out" Clint said half threateningly.

"He actually steals it from my drawer I don't give it to him" I said.

"That little bugger" Clint scoffed.

I laughed and my dad looked at me with a smile.

"What?" I asked.

"I'm just happy to see you laughing and smiling again" My dad smiled.

"Don't go all sappy" I said.

He laughed shaking his head, Lucky tugged on the lead ushering us to let him off the leash for a run around. Clint let him run around as we sat down on a park bench.

"Kate told me that you didn't want to take your meds" Clint blurted out.

I groaned and ran my hands over my face not wanting to have this conversation.

"Hey no calm down I'm not going to tell you off" Clint calmed me placing a hand on my shoulder.

"I told Kate not to tell you" I complained.

"Don't be mad at her she just cares ok, look I'll get an appointment with your psychiatrist so you can talk to her about your meds alright, she might be able to give you something different" Clint said.

"Fine." I said still annoyed.

"If you were in the position Kate is in you'd do the same thing Y/n you love her and want her to be ok just like she wants for you" Clint said.

"Yeah I guess" I replied with a small shrug.

My dad squeezed my shoulder before heading over towards Lucky to play with him some more tiring him out before taking him home. Once we got him the sun had started to set.

I opened the door for Lucky allowing him in the door before Clint and I walked through.

"You going to be down for dinner?" My mom asked as I walked through the door.

She was standing over the stove stirring the pot.

"Yeah Kate and I will be down in a second" I replied.

I jogged up the stairs and headed to my room, well more Kate and I's room now I suppose. I opened the door and she gave me a smile before closing her laptop. I walked over shoving her laptop to the side and lying down on top of her engulfing her in a hug. She let out a small chuckle and hugged back.

"What's this for?" She asked.

"I just love you so much" I replied.

Kate sighed and lifted my face up capturing my lips for a loving kiss, we both pulled away and I smiled.

"I love you too" She replied.

A/n:
Lowkey tryna think of a non heartbreaking ending to write because I have so many good ideas which would make all of y'all ridiculously sad but then I remembered that you guys aren't mentally stable so I thought I should probably be nice and give you guys a good ending.
