I am hurt.

Not angry but hurt. All the things Allison said to me a few minutes ago are still going through my head. I've never felt such a heaviness in my chest like I am feeling right now. It feels like someone ripped my heart out over and over again. I want to scream and cry but I hold everything back as I walk towards my room.

I open the door and it lands against the wall with a loud thud but I don't care. I take my bag from under the bed and start putting my clothes inside the bag. If she wants me gone, I'll respect her choice and just do that.

Just when I finished packing my clothes I heard someone walk into my room. "Whoa, whoa, what's going on here?" Steve's voice asks behind me with confusion.

"I am leaving." I say harshly as I shut my emotions off and turn back to the cold and emotionless guy, acting like the woman I loved just didn't tell me a few minutes ago that she hates me and doesn't love me anymore.

"What why?" Steve asks, still confused but I ignore him as I walk towards my bathroom. I hear Steve follow behind me but I give no attention to him. The sooner I am gone, the better.

"Buck? What happened?" Steve asks as he stands in the doorway, watching me as I put all my toiletries in my toilet bag. I keep ignoring him as I push him away so I can walk back to my room and put my toiletries in my bag.

"Buck, slow down and talk to me!" Steve screams this time as he stops me from closing my bag. "She doesn't want me here!" I scream back.

"She doesn't love me anymore." I whisper before sitting down on my bed and burying my head into the palm of my hands. I feel the bed dip beside me before I feel a hand on my shoulder.

"That isn't true, Buck." Steve tries to assure me but I shake my head as I lift it up to look at Steve. "She told me herself." I explain with hurt in my voice. The surprise on his face tells me he didn't expect that.

"I-I." Steve tries to find words to comfort me but nothing will make this better. "It's okay." I assure him.

"Carter is coming back tonight from the hospital. She will need my help and she probably wants to scream at me for taking her there." I explain, trying to laugh through the pain.

It is quiet for a moment. I know Steve doesn't want me to leave. We have already lost so much time together but I can't be in the same building as Allison anymore. Not when my heart is hurting and aching for her.

"Are you sure?" Steve whispers and I nod my head. "If you think this is the best choice then I will not stop you."

"You know where I am if you need me." I try to lighten the mood and Steve gives me a sad smile. "I would have left anyway after Zemo was dead."

Steve nods his head. "I know, I was just hoping by the time that happened Allison would have cooled down and would let you stay here."

"Me too." I say while nodding my head, agreeing with him. Steve stands up and turns towards the door ready to walk away. I also stood up and stopped him. "Steve?"
