Love Conquers All

Chapter 3

Mia's pov
After 1 hour of walking I get safely to my house . No one is in there , my mom was at work when this tragedy happened and my sister at school . I start packing my things . Anyone on their right mind will never go away to be with them ... Specially when they had just met them . But I'm not in my right mind , besides I need to know what happened back there . I'm not really afraid of being with them , they seem like nice people and I know how to defend myself .

After about 3 hours I get everything I need for about 2 weeks . I was so ready but then I forget I have no permission . Why does this always happen to me ?! Seriously ever since I was a child I would get everything done and then forget to ask for permission . I don't know how the hell is going to convince my mom of letting me stay with some unknown people ... I seriously don't know how .

I grab the phone Tony gave me and start calling my mom I really hope she agrees

"Hey sweetie , what is it ? Are you alright ?"

"Yeah mom ... I wanted to ask you something "

"Sure honey , what is it ?"

"Umm well this is not easy ... But I was wondering if you would let me stay over at a friends house for like 2 weeks ? " I hate lying to my mom but I didn't found a way out to this . She would have never agreed to this and I really needed to go with those people .

"Sure honey but you have to call me every day and inform me about everything . After this day I don't think I can trust anyone "

"Of course mom , thank you "

I don't know how she agreed so easily to that . She is the typical strict mother . She has always cared so much about my sister and I . But I suppose that's what you do if your husband is in the army . And after something tragic happens to your daughter . I grab my back pack and start walking to the tower . I recognize it because there is an A on it . And of course because it is the STARK tower .

I get there to up to the floor where they were . I see them there all sitting on the couch or in the floor resting . They all turn around to see me and my cheeks turn slightly red , I had never liked to be the center of attention

"Hi "

They smile at me and Steve and Tony stand up .

"Your room is on the floor downstairs , I hope it's not destroyed as almost everything " I smile slightly and thank him .

Steve walks with me in silence all the way to my room .

"Thanks for making me company , you don't have to stay ."

"But I'd like to help you if you want me to " he looked slightly embarrassed .

"If you can I'd love that "

I saw a wardrobe right in front of me , it wasn't that big . It was more like a hotel type of wardrobe . I started putting my things in there until Steve asked me something

"Mia what is this? " I turned around to see him holding a medal . They gave that to me when the tragedy happened .

"Uh nothing just an old memory " I rushed to take it out of his hands .

I took it in my hand and hid it in my pocket . I didn't want to start a friendship with lying but I didn't know if I could trust him . He eyes me suspiciously as I held the medal in my pocket . I keep putting my things in my closet until he stands right in front of me . I move to the other side trying to keep myself from looking at him

"Mia I know that we do not know each other but if you ever need to talk about what ever it is that you have in your hand , know that I'm here " I smiled at him

"Thank you " I looked out my window to see the sun was setting . Steve waves at me and walks out of my room . This is certainly going to be the 2 longest weeks of my life. I walk to my bed and pull the covers . I grab my new phone and check my Instagram . As I check it my phone falls in my face . Great just what I needed . I rub my nose and put my phone on the night table . I get comfortable and fall asleep . I just hope this isn't one of those days when I wake up at the middle of the night .

I run away from the base . That's when I see a grenade right in front of me . My best friend at my side . He pushes me away from the grenade and I land about 1 meter away from it . That gives me enough time to run and get cover . Sadly that didn't gave him enough time . He walked straight to the grenade and when he tried to throw it away it exploded right on his face .

I wake up screaming for my life . My scream lasts for a few seconds , I just hope I didn't wake up anyone . My scream silently turns into sobs and tears . I stand up and walk out to the balcony . I sit there in a chair breathing the fresh air and trying to calm down .
