Why did it have to be me. Why did I have to walk in and watch as my boyfriend went down on another girl. Why did I have to give him all my love and receive nothing. Why did I let him tell me everything was okay, even though I knew it wasn't. Why did I have to stay with throughout all the verbal and physical abuse. He'd get angry and yell, he was unpredictable when he was angry, so he would hit me. He would apologize, say he's sorry, that he would never do it again. I believed him. I let him run over me.
Everyone around me was doing great, who was I to tell them my boyfriend slapped me this morning because he felt like it, and bring down their mood.
I would tell myself I deserved it. I deserved hitting and the yelling. I deserved to be treated lesser than. My past wasn't the best. I was turned into this lab rat and used to kill others. Maybe it was karma coming back to bite me.
I lived in New York. Rain poured down. I didn't have a umbrella nor did I have a coat. My tears mixed in with the water than fell heavily from the clouds. He tried to explain himself, he told me that I was so much better. When I began to argue back, he hit me causing my jaw to hurt. I didn't say anything to him and I just walked out.
I found myself walking towards the avenger compound just outside of New York. My hair stuck to my face as it was soaking wet. So was my clothes.
I unlocked with the key Tony had gave me. He said that I was always welcome to come a stay with them, but my boyfriend wouldn't let me.
I walked in, all the avengers enjoying their evening. I didn't want to ruin that, I felt myself turning around.
"Y/n" Tony's voice called out. I felt numb. I turned around to face my coworkers, my friends. "I'm sorry, I'll just leave. I shouldn't have come here" I laughed off my pain and began to walk away. Before I could make my way out the door, I felt a hand grab mine. I turned to see Yelena my best friend. "Hey slow down, what's wrong" I could tell she was worried.
That's when I broke, my legs gave out. I knew I had walked all the way across New York, but it was more the pain I felt that led to my legs giving out.
Yelena immediately went down with me and engulfed me with a hug.
YELENA POV
I held her close. Her tears along with her clothes were wetting my clothes. I didn't care though, I wanted to make sure she okay. I looked towards the group mainly Wanda who was y/n's sister. Wanda didn't know what to do.
"Hey can you tell me what happened" I leaned down a said softly not wanting to force her to say anything. I knew she would tell me when she was ready. She didn't move, she just held onto my shirt. "I shouldn't have come here" she said out of nowhere and ran out the door.
It was pouring rain, I ran after her and real kissed she didn't have her car. "Y/n stop just come back inside where it's warm and we can talk about this" I yelled after her she just stopped in her tracks.
She turned around and could see her face. I couldn't tell what she was feeling or thinking, but I knew she was hurt. She had this bruise on her face. Did someone come and try to take her? Did someone take advantage of her?
"Just go back inside Yelena, you're getting wet" I could tell she was crying even if it was raining. "I'm don't care if I get wet y/n, I won't go back in until you come with me" I came closer. I reached for her hand and she flinched. I never would do anything to hurt her, why did she flinch. I grabbed her hand and she followed me inside
I picked her up and she gladly wrapped around me holding on tight. I walked past Wanda mouthing "I'll take her to bed" before walking out. I walked into my room and walked to the bathroom placing her on the counter. I turned around to grab a towel and then turned back to face her. I began to dry her face. I could see the bruise more clearly. "Y/n I know you don't want to talk, but can you at least tell me what happened to your face" she looked down unsure if she answer.
