April 1936

"Come on Riley. Rose and Iris said they would meet us there."

I rolled my eyes, turning onto my side. My back now facing Steve. He shoved me off the bed, causing me to hit the floor with a loud thump.

"Fucking hell." I yelled while rubbing my head. I stood up, crossing my arms over my chest, glaring at him.

Steve grinned at me. "You act like you have better things to do than hang out with us."

"I actually do. Eat junk food and sleep."

"You're so damn lazy." Steve huffs. He flops onto his back to stare at the ceiling.

"Is Bucky going?"

"Shouldn't you already know the answer to that? He's your boyfriend."

I threw a pillow at him. "Well sometimes he acts like your boyfriend. I think you two are secretly in love."

He threw the pillow back to me, hitting my face. "You're annoying."

"You didn't deny it." I raise my eyebrows.

"I've denied it a hundred times already." He rolled his eyes. "Bucky knew we were spending the day together so he asked me this morning if we were going. I told him I wasn't sure since we went to Coney last weekend."

"So is that a yes or a no that he'll be there?"

"He didn't say for sure but I think he's going. We'll probably run into him at some point."

I sighed. "Go away so I can change my clothes." I turned to my closet, grabbing a lavender sundress.

"We'll have fun like we always do. I'll be downstairs waiting so hurry up." Steve quickly walked out of my room. I scoff, throwing my dress on, pinning a few pieces of my hair back.

Steve and I arrived at Coney Island and as always the place was packed. We tried to make our way through the crowd, looking for Rose and Iris at the ticket booth. Once I saw the girls waving, I linked my arm with Steve's pulling him through everyone.

"Took you two long enough to get here."

"Yeah yeah. Let's go inside, I'm hungry." I said, grabbing Rose's hand. We walked into the park, heading straight for the ice cream stand. While waiting in line, I heard the laugh of my favorite guy. I turned my head and saw Bucky. I smiled but it quickly faded when I saw who was standing next to him, Dot. She was leaning into him, placing her hand on his arm.

What the hell?

I instantly felt tears forming my eyes. Did he come here with her because he thought I wouldn't be here? I've been wanting to tell this guy I was in love with him and he's been going on dates with other girls? It felt like my heart was breaking into a million pieces. Steve looked at me with a look of confusion on his face.
