Guilty One Shots

Time for a Break

**CHRIS POV**

I was sitting on the couch, I had just gotten my Captain America script, so I was reading it and going over it.

I had to admit it was hard to focus on the script, I missed her...I missed Rose. She was gone and had been gone. I pushed her out, I broke up with her, I knew that but this all on me.

Maybe I could call her and get her back, maybe I should but I didn't even think she would take my phone calls. I was a coward and every time I picked up the phone to call her, I would just give up knowing I hurt her too much and she would never forgive me.

I ruined her, I hurt her, and she was done with me. She packed up and left. The only problem was, I still had our pictures up, left things in the house she forgot to pack and just left things the way they were. I would get her back, I just had to figure out how and when.

I shook my head and went back to reading the script. As I was reading the script my cellphone pinged with a text message. I grabbed my phone and read the message.

Scott: You busy?

Chris: Reading the CA script, why?

Scott: You may want to turn on ET.

I didn't think anything of it and turned on the channel that Entertainment Tonight was on. I saw her on the screen...Rode, my Rosebud.

"So, Rose Cedar hasn't been seen in weeks, almost 2 months to be exact. She was last seen at a movie premiere 2 months ago, which was right after her very big break up with actor Chris Evans. At the premiere 2 months ago she held her own, stood tall, answered all questions about the movie but when Chris was brought up, she would change the subject or sidestep the question. She never wanted to talk about it." The newscaster said.

"But now today we finally hear from her. She had broken her silence but only in a statement." Another newscaster said.

"The statement reads:

"I want to thank everyone for their love and support over the past few months with the new movie and with everything else in my life and career. At this time though, I do not feel like I'm in the right headspace mentally or even emotionally to continue with acting at this time. I will be taking a break, I'm not sure for how long or if I will ever come back. Again, I want to thank everyone for their love and support, and I love all of my fans. I just need this for me, I need to get myself right again. Love you all and thank you for understanding."

I just sat in shock listening to this statement from her.

What does she mean she wasn't right mentally and emotionally...was this because of me.

"Now we know she had the public break up with Chris Evans a few months ago. It shocked the world when everyone pinned them to get married and have a family. So was this her downfall or did being Hollywood's biggest actress and most in demand actress finally take its toll. Rose has done 3 movies in the past 2 years. She may just possibly need a break, and no one can fault her for that." The first newscaster said again.

"No matter what her reasoning is for this break we love you Rose, and we wish you nothing but the best in your life and hope you get everything set and right. We also hope to see you back sometime. Love and support to you."

I just sat in shock; I didn't know what to do. Why was she taking a break? What was wrong? Was this really because of me? Was this because I hurt her, and she can't deal with it? I mean it couldn't just be because we broke up...could it.

I grabbed my phone and dialed her number, I needed clarification on this.

"You have reached a number that is no longer in service."

The automated voice repeated that message to me a few times before I hung up the phone. I threw the script across the room, that fucking job started all of this. I hung my head as tears filled my eyes. She was gone forever.

**ROSE POV**

I was sitting in my new house in Tahoe watching the news that was just on TV, they read the statement I released about taking a break. Jeremy sat next to me and handed me a glass of water.

"Well, it's out there now." Jeremy said and I nodded.

"Do you think he heard it?" I asked and Jeremy sighed.

"I don't know Rose, even if he didn't hear it right now, he will find out. Why does it matter?" Jeremy asked and I shrugged.

"I don't know, I just feel like he needs to hear that I'm done and gone." I said. I laid my head on Jeremy's shoulder, and he kissed the top of my head.

"So, you are staying here for good?" Jeremy asked and I nodded. I placed a hand on the small bump on my stomach and rubbed.

"I think Tahoe is where we need to be." I said and Jeremy gave a small smile.

"You ever going to tell him or anyone?" Jermey asked and I shook my head.

"Only you. I mean I tried telling my mother and she didn't want to hear about it so..." I said and he just sighed.

"Well, no matter what I will be the best Uncle Jeremy in the world to this kid." Jeremy said and I chuckled.

"Thank you for supporting me." I said and he shook his head.

"Of course, Rose, you're my best friend. I don't know what I would do with you." Jeremy said and I smiled at him.

💚 💚 💚

Later that night Jeremy had gone home, I couldn't sleep so I grabbed a blanket and went out on the porch, wrapping myself up and sitting on my porch swing. I placed a hand on my stomach and rubbed.

"I got you baby, you got me and Jeremy. That's all you need." I said in a quiet voice. I looked up at the stars and smiled at the clear night.

"I'm pregnant Chris and you never got a chance to find out. Captain America just had to come first. I hope you enjoy that life." I said. I then shook my head.

I could do this on my own, I had to do this on my own and life would never be the same again, but I was going to be a mom and that was all that mattered to me.

Chris Evans, himself, would be out of my life forever and I would never see him again.
