Don't Lose Hope - Tony Stark x Reader

11. Replacement

The first day back to work was hell. I hate being the center of attention and I was exactly that. Everyone was asking me if I'm ok and how was it being in the Avengers Tower. Blah blah blah. It's not like I don't like the people who are bombarding me, it's just because it was so constant.

"Alright! That's enough. Let (Y/N) alone and get back to work everyone. We have a busy day today." My boss, Meghan, walked out and told everyone.

Everyone scattered back to their designated spots as Meghan walked over to me.

"Thank you. You are a life saver." I hug Meghan.

"Anytime girly. I'm glad you're back. I've missed your constant ray of sunshine." Meghan hugs me back.

"Awww that warms my heart." I say as I let go of the hug. "So I assume you know that (BFF/N) left for California?"

"Yeah. She said she needed a fresh start. Why she just up and left is beyond me." Meghan days as she puts her hands on her hips.

"Yeah. I don't know why either." Am I the only one who knows why she truly left? Probably...

"Well, I had better get back to what I was doing. Welcome back."

"OK and thank you." I say walking away.

The day slugged by with people constantly asking me if I was the girl that was seen with the Avengers. I always said yes and then they would ask for pictures.

It was annoying yet, there's something about it that I loved.

Once I got home, I realized I couldn't live alone. So I plopped onto the couch and grabbed my laptop. I posted on Craigslist that I was in need of a roommate.

Once I posted that, I walked into the kitchen to grab something to eat. Luckily, I got off from work at 5.

Hmmmm... There's some lettuce in the fridge... I guess I'll make a salad. There's also (whatever you like on your salad.) I put them all in a bowl and take it into the living room.

Let's see. What to watch, what to watch. I flip through what's on TV, give up, and just watch an episode of The Walking Dead on Netflix.

I decided to torture myself and play the season 7 premier. Glenn and Abraham's death still gets me everytime. But LORD ALMIGHTY is Negan hot! Jeffrey Dean Morgan is the perfect actor. Like seriously... Fuck me up!

"Maggie... I will find you." Glenn gargles after Negan had smashed his head with Lucille. A baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire.

"You kinda can't... CAUSE YOU'RE FUCKING DEAD!" I cry. I'll admit... I cry everytime. Glenn was my favorite and then that happened... PLUS MAGGIE IS PREGNANT LIKE COME ON!

Everything was all quiet in the show. It was calm... Finally. Then my phone rang and scared me half to death.

"Jeez, who's calling me?" I grab my phone and check the caller ID. Oh it's Tony. "Hey Tony. What's up." I try to say as normal as possible since I was just crying.

"Nothing much, but are you crying?" Tony asked kinda worried that he called at a bad time.

"Yes but only because I was watching The Walking Dead and this one scene gets me everytime." I laugh at how stupid that is.

"OK good. I thought something was wrong." Tony says with a sigh of relief.

"Glenn is dead. That's what's wrong here." I laugh. "Anyway, why did you call? It's late."

"I wanted to tell you that I made a job today for Ky. I just have to call her." Tony explains.

"REALLY YAY! Thank you Tony!" I scream.
