Chapter 13

Steve was walking towards the Stan Lee Hall, he had no football practice so he was planning on doing his project, hanging out with his friends, and scoring some girls. He whistled a song happily until he heard a very familiar voice but speaking in a different language. He peaked around the corner and saw Natasha talking on the phone with someone.

She was talking to someone in her mother tongue. Steve was shocked at how hot she sounded speaking in Russian but he quickly ignored this as her voice started to shake and she began to cry.

His Little Red was crying, crying her heart out.

Somewhere deep inside him he felt pure pain for her. He had never seen Natasha cry before. Steve sat down behind the column adjacent to Natasha, she couldn't see him because she was burying her face in her knee and talking to whoever was causing her to cry.

The sound of her voice was really heartbreaking even the heartless person Steve was could feel it.

Natasha got the unexpected phone call when she was about to head back to her dorm. It was the ID of a blocked number but she immediately knew where it came from. Still, she answered it. The voice that answered her back was very familiar to her. Oh yes, she had been familiar with it for her whole life.

"Hello, Alexei." She talked to him in Russian. Alexei Shostakov, her ex- boyfriend. She tried really hard to leave her past in Russia but somehow, it still haunted her. A conversation with him was never easy for her, It was always the same thing he repeated to her again and again. Asking her to take him back. Asking her to come back home, come back to him. Asking her to abandon her dream to be with him. She answered the same way:

"I thought we talked about this, Alexei."

"This is my life."

"I will never set my foot back inside Russia ever again."

"I'm sorry, Alexei but this is what I want."

"Don't do this. This is not good for both of us. I've already moved on with my life now."

"Please, don't do this."

They hung up within the hour, leaving Natasha with utter sadness. All the memories flooded her mind, all the painful memories about Russia. She couldn't hold back anything anymore.

She had lied about her life back in Russia to her friends. She didn't like the idea of telling everyone about her past, she lied because she had only known them for a month and a half. But she hadn't lied about why she leaving Russia. One of the many reasons Natasha Romanoff had moved away from Russia. One of the two major reason anyway:

Alexei Shostakov, her ex- boyfriend...

Natasha had grown up in a small town her whole life. She had never seen outside the damn town her whole damn life, never knew what was out there and always wanted to know what was waiting for her on the outside.

Her real name was Natalia Alianovna Romanova

She grew up in a neighborhood where she met with her first boyfriend Alexei Shostakov. They had been friends since they were little kids. Natalie and Alexei against the world.

They began to date one another when they were in high school. She could say that he was the most popular guy in the school. He was a bad boy type that you couldn't help but falling for.

Yeah, she knew she had a really bad taste of boyfriend but Alexei was always a gentleman to her. He never, ever disrespected her.

Together, they ran this school. No. They ran the town. Their close friends, Boris Turgenov, Yelena Belova, Alex Nevsky, and Galina Nerirovsky were helping them and they all enjoyed each others company.
