Till the End of Time-

Chapter 57: Yours

I've never seen Steve this angry before... and I've never seen him glare at me as he's doing right now.

"Steve I can explain-", I begin but stop when he abruptly stands up and wipes a hand over his mouth in a frustrated manner.

I glance at Bucky and he's wearing a similar expression to mine.

Bucky stands up and walks over to him, "Steve don't be angry at her, just let her explain".

Steve turns sharply to look at him, "Then how should I act Bucky when I find out my girlfriend slept with another guy?", he says firmly.

"How do you think I've felt Steve? For months I've had to live with the fact that she was with you and didn't know who I was anymore. I've had to watch and hear you two be together constantly. How do you think I've felt?", Bucky says loudly.

"She didn't know who you were Buck, so there was nothing wrong. But she knowingly slept with you while she's still with me", he snaps back.

"Oh come off it Steve, it's not like we haven't been here before", Bucky says irritated.

"Whats that supposed to mean?", Steve asks lowly as he takes a step towards him.

"We've shared multiple girls before and we never had a problem, nothings changed", Bucky replies.

"What do you mean nothings changed? Everything has changed! She's not such some girl Bucky, she's the love of my life!", Steve raises his voice with each word he speaks.

"Well she was mine first!", Bucky joins in.

"Will you two shut up!", I hiss snapping back into reality after being in a trance watching them argue, "Someone's going to hear!".

They both pause and glare at each other before glancing back at me.

"Bucky can you give us a minute?", I ask quietly.

Bucky nods his head and leaves the room. Once he leaves Steve and I both stand there trying to figure out where to start.

"Do you want to go to my room?", I ask.

"Sure", he says before following me out.

When we get to my room I close and lock the door behind us so we aren't disturbed.

"You have every right to be angry Steve, but I'd like to explain first".

"How much explaining is there to do Rosie? You slept with another guy!", he says loudly.

"It's not like I just went out and slept with another guy because I was horny Steve! It was Bucky!", I say matching his tone.

"So that's supposed to make it okay?", he asks angrily.

"No! Of course not, that's not what I meant", I begin.

"Then what did you mean? Because honestly I'm having a hard time understanding you these days", he interrupts.

"I'm scared Steve! That's whats going on. I'm scared! I don't know what I'm doing and that scares me!", I shout.

"You're scared? I'm scared!", he yells back, "Everything that I thought I had is slipping away and every time I think things are fine they aren't!".

"I'm trying!", I yell as I start to tear up out of frustration. I turn away from him and try to breathe deeply to calm myself down.

We both fall silent until his voice breaks through, "I shouldn't have yelled Rosie, I'm sorry".

I sniffle and try to force the tears that welled up to go back in before I turn around to face him.

He studies me for a moment before leaning against my dresser with his arms crossed, "I'll let you explain", he says more gently.
