*Bucky's pov*

It's been 3 months since I ran into Steve and Sam at the coffee shop, I've just been hiding at home away from the world, I lost my job and my other friends, well friend I lost Tony too he's now dating Steve.. Today I've decided that enough is enough, I'm sick of being sad over douche bags, time to sort myself out..

I get out of bed, jump into the shower and get dressed, I check my fridge only to see that there is no food, I grumble to myself before I grab my keys and my wallet. I walk out my apartment, smiling at the old lady who lives on my floor before getting into the elevator, I walk out of the elevator and out of my apartment block onto the busy streets of New York, I smile at the people as I walk towards a cafe.

On my way to the cafe I pass a bookstore with a 'help needed' sign in the window, I smile at myself before walking into the bookstore, and say to the guy behind the counter "um uh excuse me, I saw the sign in the window that said you needed help, and I uh wanted to apply" he smiles at me and hands me a form "just fill this out and I'll let you know if you get the job" I smile, nod at the guy, grab the form and walk out.

I carry on walking to the cafe, smiling at strangers and just being cheery maybe everything will work itself out, I get to a cafe that looks cosy and walk in, I order a blueberry muffin and a black coffee, I sit at the table and go to fill out the form from the bookstore before I realise I don't have a pen, I walk back to the counter and ask for a pen, I walk back to my seat and fill out the form whilst eating my muffin.

Once I've filled out the form and drunk my coffee, I stare into space, thinking about what else I could do to make my life better, I make a list in my head of all the things, 1. Get a new job, 2. Make some friends, 3. Get a boyfriend, 4. Start taking photos again, 5. Smile more 6. Take the photo of Steve off the fridge... I smile at my self and get up to order a cup of coffee to go, I make sure I have the form before heading back to the bookstore to hand in my form once I reach the store my coffee is all gone, I hand the form into the guy at the counter and browse the books before buying a couple of new stories to read.

I get home and I'm reading one of my new books when my phone starts to ring "Hello is this Bucky Barnes?" "Um yes it is" "hi Bucky it's Clint from arrows the uh bookshop, I'm calling to let you know that you have the job. Out of all the people who applied I liked you the best, when can you start?" I hear, I smile and say "as soon as you want me" "is tomorrow okay?" Clint asks "hell yeah, I mean yes it's perfect" we talk for a little bit longer about the job before Clint hangs up, I grin and say to myself "my new happier life starts tomorrow!! Yay." I stand up, walk over to my fridge and grab the photo of Steve, I look at it for a brief moment before i walk over to the trash can, "My new happier life starts with me throwing out this stupid photo" I say to myself before throwing the photo into the bin. I look at the photo in the trash and reach to get it. Damn it I frown at myself, I look at the photo in my hand before saying to myself "why can't I throw this stupid thing away?? It's the fifth time I've tried to throw it away maybe I'll be able to next time" I place the photo back on the fridge frowning slightly, maybe next time I repeat in my head but as of now let's just focus on a newer happier me... A newer happier me, hmmm I like the sound of that...
