Warnings: Angst, some fluff, but no happy ending

Word Count: 1935

You used to be sure that you loved Natasha. She was your ideal partner. She was everything you wanted in life. However, you no longer knew that version of Natasha.

Usually, an engagement only strengthens the existing relationship. This wasn't the case. It seemed as though you got engaged and everything went awry.

Natasha had all of a sudden become a stranger to you. She hardly paid any attention to you. She hardly took you out anymore, she rarely came home, and she hadn't called you beautiful in what felt like forever.

This should've made you spiral into a hole of depression, but it didn't. Wanda wouldn't allow it.

Wanda was Natasha's best friend, but lately she had felt like more than that to you. Everytime Natasha let you down, Wanda was there to pick you up.

You weren't stupid. It was clear to you that Wanda had cared about you deeply, but where did that leave Natasha. This entire situation was messy.

It felt like a classic love story. Two best friends and a girl in between. Someone was going to end up hurt. Natasha was your fiancé, but she wasn't the same woman you had fallen in love with.

Wanda... she was everything Natasha used to be and more. You were tired of giving Natasha chances. You had given her the benefit of the doubt more times than you could imagine.

If this was how the engagement was going, you couldn't picture a happy marriage.

So one day, you sat on the couch waiting for Natasha to come home. Your head was in your hands and tears were streaming down your face. Sobs racked your body as the reality of the situation finally set in.

When Natasha came home, she noticed you immediately.

" Baby, what's wrong?"

She tried to touch you, but you moved out of her reach.

" Natasha, I can't do this anymore."

The woman was confused," What?"

You slid the ring off of your finger and held it in your fist," This isn't working. We aren't working."

" Baby, what are you talking about? I love you," now Natasha was panicking, scrambling to try to fix this.

" I don't believe you any more Nat. The moment we got engaged, it's like you stopped trying with me."

You don't think you've ever seen Natasha cry until today," I'm sorry, I- I can fix this. I can fix us, I- just please don't leave."

You leave the ring on the couch as you stand up. Natasha moves to try to stop you," Y/n, wait. I-"

You place one last gentle kiss on her cheek, then walk out of the door.

When you get into your car, you let your instincts take over. When you parked, you were at Wanda's house.

You got out of the car, legs feeling heavier than they ever had before. You rang the doorbell and waited for an answer.

When Wanda opened the door, she already knew what happened. A simple text from her best friend had told her everything she needed to know. She pulled you into a hug and you sobbed against her shirt.

" I've got you," the storm of emotions in Wanda's head was violent.

The woman that she loved was in need. Her best friend needed her too. The decision may have been too easy, especially with you in her arms currently.
