I got up off the floor and tried my best to wipe my tears before opening my door.
In entered Wanda with a sorry look on her face.
"Pietro told me what happened I wanted to give you some time before coming in but clearly you're still upset," she said.
"Wanda I fucked up I really really fucked up," I said as I continued crying.
"he's your dad I'm sure he'll forgive you," she said hugging me.
I continued crying further as she brought me to my bed to sit down.
"no it's not that it's something else," I said and she looked at me confused.
"My ex he's threatening me," I said
"He took pictures of me without my knowledge and now he's threatening me with them" I continued
"What kind of pictures," she asked
I got up off the bed and picked my phone up from the floor and unlocked it handing it to her so she could read the texts.
"I don't know what to do," I said once she finished reading
"is he really crazy enough to send pictures with him in them to the public," she asked a bit surprised
"he's a psychopath, he'll do anything to hurt me," I said
"How did you even meet someone like him," she asked.
"it was in college, we bumped into each other after a lecture and he flirted his way into getting my number"
"I was stupid and naive and thought he was a normal, charming guy so I gave in to him"
"We dated for a couple of months before he became too much to handle and I dumped him," I said giving Wanda a quick breakdown.
"Firstly none of this is your fault," she said wiping my tear-stained face
"This is called manipulation, he's blackmailing you" she continued.
Another knock on my door made me get up to open the door again. This time it was Pietro.
"How are you feeling," he asked and tears pooled in my eyes again.
That was not a question I wanted to be asked right now.
Pietro looked at Wanda and then back at me before realising something else was going on.
"Do you want to tell him?" she asked and I shrugged.
Did I really want to tell the guy I had a teeny tiny crush on that my ex was a psychopath and blackmailing me with pictures of us because he saw some article of me and him together?
"Just show him the messages," I said and Wanda handed him the phone.
I was done with talking now I didn't want to talk about my mistakes again.
"Don't open the pictures though" I said and he nodded. I trusted him enough to know he wouldn't after I said so.
He skimmed through the messages before speaking up.
"I'm confused what are the pictures and who is this guy," he asked
With no context, the situation wasn't the easiest to grasp so fair enough to him.
"They're pictures of y/n and her old boyfriend, pictures that shouldn't have been taken and pictures that should definitely not be shared with the world" Wanda explained.
A look of anger appeared on Pietro's face once it clicked on what was going on.
"Where is he ill kill him," he said and I shook my head quickly as tears fell from my eyes again.
"he doesn't get to threaten you and get away with it, I'll kill him" he repeated
in any other circumstances, I would've found this very attractive but now all I could think about was getting myself out of the mess I was in.
"Hold on she needs to tell her parents first," Wanda said looking between Pietro and me.
I knew she could read both our minds and probably knew by now that I had a little crush on her brother.
"Are you crazy they'll kill me"
"I've already told my dad I didn't want him as a dad after he lectured me on how careful I had to be with the media," I said breathing quickly.
"he's gonna be furious no he's gonna be disappointed that's even worse," I said looking between the twins.
"I'm such a fucking idiot" I yelled
"calm down," Pietro said grabbing my hands and making me look at him
"take a couple of deep breaths" he instructed and I obliged
"we can figure something out ok," Wanda said.
We all sat in silence for what felt like ages but was only five minutes.
"I'm sorry but the only thing I can think of is you telling your parents," Wanda said apologetically
"they'll be able to deal with this issue in a way that will be careful and hopefully perfectly sorted out for you" she continued
Deep inside me, I knew this was the only option.
They could control the narrative and hopefully, I'd feel better if I knew that they knew about the situation.
"We can be there with you if you like" Pietro suggested and I nodded
"Actually yes that will be helpful I don't know if I'll be able to get all my words across," I said.
I grabbed my phone from Pietro and opened the group chat with my mum and my dad. I texted a simple 'we need to talk' and they both answered saying we could later tonight.
my dad probably thought it was about what happened earlier today and my mum most likely had already heard about the fight from my dad.
I turned my phone off throwing it on my bed. I put my head down as I ran my fingers through my hair.
"you guys probably think I'm an idiot with stupid taste in guys," I said
"darling I promise you this is not your fault and your parents will definitely understand that as well" Wanda comforted
"It's gonna be ok" I heard followed by a hug. I felt muscular arms around me and I gathered that Pietro was hugging me.
In Pietro's mind, he somehow felt guilty, if they hadn't gone out together no picture would've been taken and there would've been no reason for this crazy man to make his way back into my life
For now, I was so grateful to have them in my life.
