I made it to the bar and waited for Genevieve to come. Drunk people started to sing karaoke. I laughed at their horrible voices. Maybe I should go up there and sing. Maybe I should! I walked to take a seat to the booth next the window. I saw Genevieve.
"Hey!" I yelled and I waved at her. She smiled and walked to me. I got up and hugged her and she hugged me back.

"Crystal, look at you! You look hot!" She laughed and so did I. "Let's catch up, shall we?" We sat down.
"Well, let's start with you. what have you been up to for the last 7 years?" I rested my head on my hand. Genevieve took off her sweater and put it side.
"Well, I've been traveling around since I'm a model. I have boyfriend name Mikey, we've been together since I moved to Chicago. Now, I'm moving here because of Mikey, he works for your dad." I laughed.
"He works for my dad."
"Yeah, he so happy when he got the job.'' She smiled. "So, how's Elena?" My smile turned upside down.
"Um, Gen, Elena passed away." Her eyes widen.
"Crystal, I'm so sorry. How's Matt holding up?" I saw the sadness in her eyes. Her, Elena, and I were close friends.
"Matt's fine. He's still sad about it." She put her hand on top of mine. "She's happy, I know she is." I smiled.
"I'm going to some drinks, be back.'' She left and I checked my phone. Nothing. Genevieve came back with beers and shots. "Now, tell me, what have you been up to? I heard that you helped stop the invasion of New York. Miss. Firestone.''
"Yeah, that battle messed me up big time. Moving on, well, nothing pretty much changed.''
"You're not dating!" She said and shook my head no. "Why not! I mean look at you, who doesn't want you.''
"Well, I've dated, it really didn't work out." I took a shot. We talked for hours and we were drunk when I mean by we, I mean Gen. "We should go and sing!" I smiled.
"You are so right, Crystal! Let's go!'' She grabbed my hand and we headed up the stage. "What song?" I thought about it.
"What about, Hypnotic by Zella day?"
"Dang, Crystal, you got great taste in music.'' Gen typed the song in the computer. The song was starting I saw Steve and Nat walking in the bar. When Steve turned, he looked at me. I gave him a smile. "Go home with him." She said before the song started.
"Uh, he's my friend!'' And we sang. We walked to our booth and Gen went to get more drinks. I saw Nat walking up to me.
"Wow, I gotta say Stark, you got the voice.'' I laughed. "I'm serious.''
"Since did you start to hang out with Captain America, Widow?" And we saw Steve walking to us with Gen. "More drinks.'' Gen handed me a shot. I took it with her, leaving Nat and Steve with shocked faces. "What?"
"How's it going, Crystal?" Steve said sitting next to me. "Since the whole...''
"I'm fine.'' I told him and I looked at my watch. 2:45am. "Shit!" I got up and grabbed my stuff. "I need to go home. Make sure she calls a taxi, will you Nat?" She nodded her head yes. "Thanks.''
"Crystal, want me to drive you home?" Steve asked.
"Thanks Steve, but I can go myself.'' I hugged them and I left the bar. I made it home. I took off my heels and slowly walk to my room, but the lights turned on. BUSTED!
"Well, well, look what the cat drag in.'' My dad said, sitting on the spinning chair with one of my stuff cats.
"I got nothing.'' I walked to him.
"No note, a text, a call.'' I pointed at the piece of paper, which was next to him. He turned back and read the paper. "Dad, going out with Genevieve. Be back soon, love always your amazing, coolest, badass, daughter, Crystal.'' I let out a cough. "Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry.'' he gave me a hug.
"It's fine, now you go to sleep and I go to sleep and everything will be okay.'' He nodded his head and we walked to our rooms. I took off my clothes and just put on a big t-shirt with my shorts and I couldn't sleep. The New York lights made me wide awake. "Calm down." I told myself and looked at the celling until it was morning, I never slept.
