His Muse,Her Weakness

Chapter 15: Cleaning Up

After the holidays was over Bucky asked his sister to help find a outpatient rehab facility so he could still be there for Marissa. She helped him get signed up for a 6 week program to get him clean and sober. He sold all of his band stuff and put the money into his savings account and sold his motorcycle and bought himself a truck since his mom took his truck when she kicked him out cause it was on her insurance. 

He had Micah help him cancel all of his bar contracts since he knew how to do that when he did it for Steel Rose. In between school taking care of Marissa and doing his Rehab he was also getting himself back in shape. 

By the time Spring break rolled around he was back to being 100 percent clean and sober. After doing the program for 8 weeks instead of 6 weeks to learn how to cope with his depression and anxiety. He came home the day he was done with his rehab program he sat beside her as she laid there and gave her his chips. 

She kissed him "I'm proud of you baby.." she said 

He smiled at her "how are you feeling gorgeous." he said 

"I'm just I'm over chemo I'm tired of feeling like this..but Becca said my scans were fine again." she said 

"I know she called me.." he said 

"I'm hungry though.." she said

"I figured I brought home pizza for you cause I have some where to be." he said

"Where.." she said

"It's surprise baby but you'll see ." he said 

"Okay.." she said 

He helped her out of bed and into the living room where his mom was standing. "Hi Winnie what are you doing here?' she said

"He told me to come sit with you while he's gone.." she said 

"Oh you could of just had Natasha stay longer.." Marissa said 

"I know but she had cheer practice" Bucky said 

He kissed them both and left. His first stop was to meet his dad's brother to get the auto shop up and running again they had ordered all the stuff they needed to open it back up. They got it all set up and hung up a big sign that said "Grand Re-Opening" outside the shop. 

After he met his uncle he headed to the high school and walked up to the football field the coach walked over to him. "Barnes..you ready?' he said

"Yeah.." he said as the coach handed him pads and a jersey to try out in. 

He went to change and he took a deep breathe when he walked out on the field. "This is for you baby.." he whispered then got into quarter back position with the rest of the team. Steve and Sam smiled after they ran the play "Yeah Barnes.. you still got it!"  Sam yelled as he jumped on him. 

Bucky got his old number back and made the team. He came in with his stuff she came down the hall "Buck.." she said when she saw everything in his hand.

"Surprise." he said 

She ran into his arms and hugged him. He hugged her "It's all for you baby.." he said as he kissed the top of her head. 

By the time her six months of chemotherapy was up she was able to watch him practice again and she watched the girls. She wasn't going to return to cheer which is why he wanted to play football for her.
