Chapter 17 Please Tell

Third person pov.
With Dove.

Peter steps closer to her. His thumb and pointing finger grasps her chin and makes her look at him, so he could look over her bruises and cuts that are all over her face, “So are you going to tell me what really happened to you?” he asks her.

Dove tenses up and looks away from his eyes, she didn’t know what to say to him. Plus her body is reacting to his touch in a fearful way rather than a nice loving way. Her mind loved the way he touched her skin so softly, but her body only knew pain and fear, so his touch on her caused her heart to speed up making her feel a bit sick.

“Hey! Can you look at me please,” Peter said a bit louder than usual, the hand he had on her chine leaves and went to push some hair out of her eyes; but with his loud voice and hand movement it causes Dove to flinch and snap her eyes wide and at him, scared.

As she looks at her soulmate an image of her dad popped in her head making her feel tiny and scared all over again. She covers her face and makes a whimpering sound. Tears stream down her face, but she hides behind her hands.

Peter freezes in his spot as he sees this reaction and steps back from her fast. He held his hands up by his head in defense and to show that she wasn't going to hurt her, “I'm so sorry. I’m so fucking sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you” he said softly to her. Things were clicking in his head now. “I just want to know what's happening to you… I shouldn't have shouted at you- Are you being abused? Something happening”

Third person POV.

Tony runs his fingers through his amazing hair and looks to Happy with an annoyed expression on his face.

He wasn't annoyed by the fact that he has found his soulmate, actually it's quite the opposite. He's mad at the fact that Happy said cryptic words to him and then hung up leaving him wondering the whole time if this was going to be real or not. "Really” he says sarcastically, “Where are they?" he adds on to his friend.

Yes, Tony was a playboy and slept around a bit… or a good amount, but after almost every time he did things with others, he felt gross and sick all over his whole body. He felt guilty and dirty, but he couldn't handle the alone feeling he got and needed someone, well used to needing someone.

Maybe for a year now, he hasn’t had any one night stands with random women. He just couldn’t take it anymore. He couldn’t handle sleeping with someone who wasn’t his soulmate anymore and then get guilty and shameful afterwards, so he was going to wait. So the playboy wasn’t a playboy anymore.

Of course it's still hard for him. It drives him crazy. All he wants is his soulmate. He wants to hold them close to him as he rants about something he was making in his lab hours before grabbing a hold of them and trapping them with him in a death trap cuddle. He wants to kiss them and make them happy and he really wants to be the reason his soulmate is happy.

There are so many things he wants to do with his soulmate, but he can't do anything with them if he hasn't found them yet. He has seen too many people find their one and it kills him inside, and his friends wonder why he drinks a lot or locks himself in his lab twenty-four/seven.

Happy nods his head and turns around and starts walking, “Follow me” he said over his shoulder. Tony shakes his head and whips his mouth as he follows him. As Tony follows Happy down the school hallways, his eyes are darting everywhere around him, trying to find his soulmate that he has been wanting for decades. When Happy stopped, Tony did too.
