Adopted by Tony Stark

chapter 37

Tony POV
I'm such a horrible parent I can't even protect my own daughter and now I also screamed at my boyfriend. I probably just don't deserve happiness.

I 'walked' to a cabinet you can't really call it walking more like a baby who is taking their first steps.

I picked up the first bottle I saw took off the cap and I started drinking. The more I drunk the more I felt myself getting numb and it felt amazing. I stumbled back to the couch I fell halfway and ended up reaching the couch while crawling.

It's was getting light out
"JarVIs mAke SUrE No ligHT will Get in HeRE" with that said Jarvis made everything look dark so I could open my eyes and not be blinded by the light.

Why why why why

I couldn't stop but think about how stupid I am. My head was facing the ceiling and my mind was somewhere else. My mind gathered memories of when I acted like a monster.

I was in my lab, just like today and when Pepper came in and started talking I couldn't hear her because of the loud music. She turned around in anger and stomped away. I turned around and saw the anger and disappointment in her eyes when the elevator door closed. That was the moment I knew I f*cked up. Just as today I started drinking. I just couldn't live with myself and drinking, well that was the beginning of the lowest point of my life. After Pepper broke up with me I started to drink everytime I woke up and got sleep when I passed out or was so tired I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore. When I started to live with the avengers and knew I felt something for Steve I promised to never drink again...

And Well I broke that promise to myself and I failed y/n, Steve and the whole team by doing it.

Y/n
I took of my clothes ready to get into the shower but before that I looked in the mirror. I saw someone who was broken and bruised someone who tried to be happy but everytime she tried another thing dragged her down.

My mind was racing again and I tried to focus on getting into the shower. When I felt the warm water hit my skin I felt myself calm down. Everything that happened last night was washing away, but still I couldn't stop thinking about Jessica's bloodied up face and Matt's evil smile.

I didn't want to get out of the shower because of how safe I felt in here no one will hurt me in here.

Eventually I got the courage to leave the nice warm shower and dry myself off. It hurt to dry myself off because of the bruises.

I chose a comfortable outfit to put on

When I left my bedroom I was met with Natasha.
"Hii auntie" and I gave her a weak smile.
"Come here y/n let's relax for a while" she put her arm around me and we went to the living room to watch a film and eat some nice food.

We were watching coco in the middle of the film I started to cry because my mind was wondering again. Natasha was hugging me and calming me down while I was drying my tears for the thousands time.

Steve POV
After Tony yelled at me I was crying a bit I quickly dried of my tears and went to the living room. I stood in the door post and saw y/n and Natasha hugging and I heard y/n soft sniffles. I walked in and sat down to watch the film with then.

Y/n took her head of Natasha's shoulder and looked at me.
"Have you been crying steve" she said I saw that her eyes were all red and puffy my eyes probably looked the same.
"I'm all right y/n don't worry" I gave her a small smile and looked at the film.

Before I knew it y/n was hugging me. I hugged her back and I felt a smile creep onto my face. We were watching the film together eventually y/n was sleeping on my shoulder Natasha put a blanket on y/n, and Natasha and I watched and finished the movie.

Tony POV
"JArvIs I SaID nO liGhTs" I couldn't keep my eyes open it was just to bright. While my eyes where half open I saw something red. When my vision was getting clearer I noticed that it was Natasha.

"WHaT dO yOu WaNt" I half yelled at Natasha and turned my back to her while I laid on the couch.
"Get up Tony you need to be there for your daughter and for Steve."
"I FuCked evErYtHiNg Up" I felt a tear fall onto my cheeck and quickly wiped it away.

"Really Tony nothing will happen if you just lay here and whine about it." I heard her get out the lab.

I sat up straight and I saw that my vision was all blurry and the world seemed to spin. I decided to take a minute so I wouldn't be so dizzy.

After a while I got up and tried to walk to the elevator I stumbled inside and went up to the living room.
"StEViE, y/N?" I said while stumbling into the living room. I saw Steve look at me with sadness in his eyes. He held onto the sleeping y/n when I saw y/n I started to cry knowing I failed them both.

Y/n POV
I opened my eyes slowly and saw that Steve was Talking to someone. When I looked to who he was talking to I saw my dad he was crying and he looked absolutely horrible.
"Dad?" Tony quickly looked at me and came to sit next to me. I could smell something off of him, it was alcohol!

"H-have you been d-drinking?"
"YeS bUT dOn'T woRRy I wAnnA sAy SorRy."
I got scared because it reminded me of how Mr Smith would hurt me when he was drunk. I hugged Steve closer and buried my head in his chest I started to sob quietly.
"Don't l-let him h-hurt me" I said while crying the look in his face and the smell of alcohol brought me back, back to the times I want to forget but I know it will always haunt me. I remembered the first time he punched me and the last time, I remembered every single time.

I was still clinging onto Steve for dear life.
"I wOn'T hUrt YoU hOnEy" my dad said I just cried and cried until I fell myself fall asleep.
