*Steve's point of view*

I raced out of the jet and I walked as fast as I could down the corridor. I felt like someone was following me but I didn't really care. I just wanted to go to my apartment.
"Steve! Wait!" A female voice made me pause in my tracks and I felt a soft hand on my shoulder. A woman with blonde hair stood in front of me. Sharon. She really was amazing but I know Natasha is alive now. I love Natasha. I'm sorry Sharon but I love Natasha! Sharon just stared at me in disbelief. "I'm so glad your okay!" She pulled me in for a hug and she squeezed me tight. I didn't really hug her back, I just played with my fingers behind my back. This felt wrong. She felt wrong. I felt empty. She let me go and looked at me again. She put her hand on my cheek and I just stared at her.
"Sharon. I-I-... I missed you." I couldn't handle telling her that I didn't love her. I already felt like a cheater. I'm not sure why, me and Natasha were over. She made that clear.
"Babe, I missed you too! Come on, let's go back to mine!" She said, she wrapped my arm over her shoulder and we walked down the stairs.

Before we entered Sharon's apartment, I heard a voice calling my name.
"Steve!" Tony yelled.
"Hey Sharon, why dont you go inside, I've got to talk to Tony." I said to Sharon, she winked at me before walking inside and closing the door. I walked over to Tony, who had a worried and confused expression on his face.
"Your unbelievable." Tony said, his expression turning to disgust.
"What?" I asked, confused of why he was so annoyed at me.
"You and Sharon? Really Rogers? You told me you love Natasha! You told me she was your one and only! You told me 6 months ago, when she disappeared, that you were willing to wait for her, even if that was forever. So, why the hell did you back out?!" Tony spat at me. Why the hell did he care?!
"This is none of your business Tony! Back off!" I yelled back at him.
"It became my business when Natasha looked like she had been through hell over the last few months and you just slept on the other side of the jet! So what that hell happened between you two!?" He yelled. I took a deep breathe.
"We broke up, okay?!" I shouted. I felt the tears coming but I tried my best to hold them back. "I accidentally told her about me and Sharon. Then I accidentally said I didn't know if I love her. She went nuts. She cried. She broke up with me. We argued everytime we were together. She wanted space so I gave her some."
"I'm not surprised she broke up with you. Your a lousy excuse of a boyfriend. How could you do this to her?! She loves you like crazy! Can't you see that?" He yelled.
"Of course I can and I love her too! She said to give it time. Maybe we can get back to how it was!"
"If you love her, why are you with-" Tony was interrupted by Sharon.
"Steve?! What the hell?! You told me you were over Natasha!" Sharon yelled, walking out from her doorway towards me and Tony.
"Looks like your in the shit now, Captain. Maybe you should've waited. Karma really is a bitch." Tony spat as he walked down the corridor. Both of us watched him go. I turned around and a hand met my face.
"We're done, Steve! I love you and I thought you were over that bitch! You bring a whole new meaning to the word 'player'!" She said as she flicked her hair and slammed her door shut.

I stood frozen in the corridor. What's just happened? Tony hates me and my girlfriend broke up with me?! I'm glad Sharon broke up with me because now I can focus on winning Nat back, but Tony!? He is supposed to be my best friend! I understand he's probably pissed at me for what I did to Nat but I thought he'd at least support me!! I punched the wall as hard as I could, making a dent into it. I walked off to my apartment and slammed the door shut. Now it was just me and my thoughts.

*The next morning*

I was jolted awake from my sleep by the loud banging at my door. I must have fell asleep on the couch. I rubbed my eyes and jogged to the door shouting "Okay, Okay I'm coming!!"

The door opened and revealed Clint, Wanda and Tony. I tried to shut the door on them but Clints foot was in the way.
"What kind of man are you?" Clint said, with a pissed off look on his face and anger in his eyes. Wanda was also pissed off and Tony just stood there with his arms crossed.
"The kind that wants to be left alone, now if you'll excuse me-" I tried shutting the door but Clint pushed it back open. "Come on in!" I said, sarcastically as all three of them waltzed into my apartment. I shut the door after them and I followed them into my apartment.
"So. Steve. What the hell is your problem?!" Wanda yelled. She was standing up in front of the window with her arms crossed and she tapped her foot on the floor.
"Okay, look. All of you are here for answers, arent you? Yes? Well the answers are as follows. Yes, Me and Natasha are currently Exes. Yes, I do love Natasha more than anything. No, I don't know why I went out with Sharon but now me and Sharon are over. Are we done now?" I shouted at each of them.
"Oh, we're far from done." Clint snapped back.
"What do you want from me?!" I yelled, I was exhausted by all of this!
"I want you to know how much you actually hurt Nat! She cried most of the night, last night. She's told me she's considered things that no one should ever consider. You and I both know she hides a lot of emotions from all of us. I don't know if she even wants to be alive right now because she is not WITH YOU!! You meant the world to her! Nat told me that she thought you were the ONE!! She is broken. Properly torn. She feels like a failure and she only blames herself. You know it was wrong of you to even consider doing out with someone only 5 months after the 'love of your life' disappears. If the love of my life disappeared, I'd spend the rest of my life trying to find her and if she was dead, I'd spend the rest of my life mourning. So I ask you Steve. Man to man. Do you REALLY Love Natasha Romanoff? Or are you just pretending?" Clint was fuming. He yelled and yelled as much as he could. He was right though, I hadn't even seen Natasha but I knew he was right. I felt like such a fool. I felt a tear roll down my face. The thought of her even considering anything to do with Natasha hurting herself tore me to shreds.
"Clint. I love Natasha Romanoff with all I am and more. No words can even describe it. I'm so sorry. Natasha probably does not want to see me. She probably hates my guts but please keep her safe, even from herself." I cried. Clint looked at me with disbelief, he squinted his eyes and he finally saw I was telling the truth.
"Steve, that's what all if us are trying to do! Please, just try and make her see that you are actually sorry and you'd do anything to protect her. I hate your guts right now, I'm sure all of us do but I know Natasha sure as hell doesn't. That's why we're here. We're here for Nat. Try. Please." Tony said begging and we all turned to face him, then everyone faced me.
"I will do the best I can to save her. I will do he best I can to be there for her, and I will never ever Hurt her again." I said and everyone nodded.

Although they were all begging me to be with Natasha, even if they thought she didn't deserve me, Wanda, Tony and Clint did hate me. Tony had to leave so he ran out the apartment. Only me, Clint and Wanda stood in front room. Clint got a message through and he too ran out the door. Me and Wanda.

Wanda approached me. I stepped back a bit.
"Steve. If you hurt her, If you even think about it, I will come here and tear you to shreds. If she doesn't make it out of this, I will tear you to shreds." She looked at me with a threatening look, it worked like a charm because I knew she wasn't kidding.
"If she doesn't make it out of this, I'm already torn." I said.
She slapped me around the face, hard. I felt my jaw click out of place!
"You better." She said before she walked out of the apartment and slammed the door.

My apartment felt empty once again. It always felt empty when that one person wasn't in here with me. Natasha, I love Natasha. Sharon is irrelevant. Natasha is my one true love and if she gets hurt, I will kill that son of a bitch.

But how can I protect her without seeing her? Could I just try to form a friendship? I might see if I can visit her in maybe a week or two to give her time to relax a bit. I'll tell her that I want to be friends and I'll hope she says yes. I'll use faith. I have faith. My faith is there that I will get her back, no matter how long it takes.
