Willow stared at Steve in confusion 'What do you mean did I have fun?' Moving closer to Steve, she stared at him waiting for him to answer

'We saw you Willow. We all saw you with Jeremy and then you got in a car with him so I'm going to ask you again... did you have fun'

Willow felt her heart speeding up, had they followed her. How would they even know that she met up with him 'What do you mean you saw me. Was that just a happy accident on your end or were you following me Steve?'

Nat moved into view sensing that tempers may start to flare if the look of these two were anything to go by 'You don't get to ask the questions here Willow... we do. So I'm going to ask you only once and I want you to give me a straight answer. Is there something romantic going on with you and Jeremy. Are you cheating on my best friend?'

She stared at them dumbfounded. Did they honestly believe that she would do that to Bucky. It was literally like a slap in the face to even have them doubt her in that way 'I'm not even going to dignify that with an answer. How dare you even ask me such a question'

Feeling the tears threatening to fall she turned to Nat 'Did you all follow me? When did you all decide that trusting me wasn't good enough'

Steve snorts at Willow's declaration but before he could say anything Nat shook her head causing him to stop in his tracks 'We did it because we've been worried about you Willow'

Feeling frustrated with the whole situation, Willow sighs 'So why not just ask me then Nat... why invade my privacy like that. I would've told you the truth there and then.. Jesus what is wrong with you people'

Steve approached Willow 'Stop. Stop avoiding the question and playing the victim. Is there something going on with you and Jeremy? It's a simple yes or no answer'

Nat took hold of Willow's hand 'If there is something going on, you owe it to Bucky to tell him'

Willow ripped her hand away from Nat 'Are you two for real right now 'No... ok. No I'm not cheating on Bucky nor do I have something going on with Jeremy behind Bucky's back. I shouldn't even have to answer these ridiculous accusations'

Steve had the decency to feel slightly guilty when he looked at the hurt written across her face 'Willow we're not trying to hurt you' he looked at Nat pleading for help 'It's just that Jeremy is bad news'

Laughing manically she turned to both of them 'He's bad news. Yes you all keep saying that Jeremy is bad news and that I need to watch out for myself but I'm actually starting to think that it's you guys that are bad for me' her nostrils flaring she let out all of the anger she was feeling in this situation 'I mean you did try and bribe Jeremy into staying away from me... isn't that right Steve?'

Steve looked away from Willow 'I'm going to take that as a yes then considering you can't even look at me'

'I did it for Bucky.. hell I did it for you too' Nat looks at Steve in shock 'Steve... no.. tell me you didnt'

'Oh but he did Nat. He went to Jeremy and offered him money to stay away from me but he wouldn't accept it. So tell me again... who is it that I can't trust'

Willow stormed out of the room almost pulling the door off it's hinges until she reached her room in which she allowed herself to fall forwards into her bed screaming into her pillow.

Once she was all cried out, she headed to the bathroom. Her safe haven. The one place she could think and let the silence envelope her. Willow lost time of how long she had been sat there but was soon brought out of her thoughts when she felt someone sit beside her

'Ok. Who's annoyed you? You're hiding in the bathroom looking like you're contemplating all of your life choices'

Willow chuckled before leaning her head against Bucky's shoulder 'Just your idiot friends and their stupid meddling. I want to talk to you about it and I will talk to you about it but for now, I just need to process everything'

Bucky kissed the top of her head 'Why is it that they're always my friends when they've done something to piss you off?' Laughing at his comment, she looked up at him 'They just are. I don't make the rules, I just follow them'

Feeling that her mood was shifting, he nudged her 'Following the rules huh.. that's not like you'

Pulling at the thread on her sweater, she looked over at Bucky, nervous as to how he would deal with her news 'Buck... I have to tell you something. I ummm... I met up with Jeremy yesterday'

A million thoughts were running through his head but he knew he had to think about this very carefully before he responded. He could see she was already over thinking everything so he shifted toward her, lifting her chin up until her gaze met his 'Should I be worried?'

'No. Well maybe. God why am I so rubbish at explaining this. I'm just going to say this real quick.. we kissed. Well he kissed me but we still kissed and I don't want to keep anything from you. I'm so sorry Buck'

He could feel the jealousy coursing through his veins, he knew that he needed to calm himself down before he responded 'Please Buck. Say something'

'I don't really know what to say' he continued to look into her eyes, seeing how in turmoil she actually was 'Tell me Willow and please be honest with me.. Do you still have feelings for him?'

And there it was. The question that Willow had been struggling with herself. Did she still have feelings for Jeremy. How the hell does she get herself out of this one.
