Couldn't Imagine Life Without You

Happy Life?

A/N: I don't want to write my freakin essay, so enjoy this

*Time Skip of Junior Year*
Tony's POV
Junior year was over in an instant, and I have gained some new friends. Their names we T'Challa and a girl named Tessa, but she was dubbed, Vaylkarie.

Stephen's doing great, Nat's doing great, and I, believe or not, have not had any suicidal thoughts in the past 7 months.

But....not everyone has been doing great, well relationship wise, Kayla and Loki are no more. Separate colleges, fights, hard times, really got to them. I feel bad... She can really never visit because it takes forever to get there and back, and she has not been doing too well financially.

I know, I know, our dad was a billionaire, but most of that money has been locked away, and/or used for other purposes.

I don't know how to feel for her. Her life seems to stumble down hill, while my life keeps going up. She has done so much for me.

Every time I call her she always is smiling and puts on a happy attitude, but on the inside I know she's hurting.

She'll be turning 20 in the next two months, so good for her. I'm still 16, but whatever....

I turned my thoughts off and focused on the bathroom door opening. I saw Stephen come out with a towel around his waist.

"Morning, did you sleep well?" He asked

"Of course! Why didn't you wake me?" I questioned.

"Because you looked to peacefully beautiful to wake," he giggled coming up to me.

He was about to hug me, "uh Steph? I would advise you to put some clothes on first, before your siblings wake up," I said looking him dead straight in the eye.

We both turned away and remembered the flashback when sweet innocent Victor walked in on us having a make out sess.

"Yeah....we wouldn't want it to happen again," Stephen said awkwardly.

I went back to reading on my phone while he got dressed. Then after he was done he jumped onto the bed and later next to me.

I turned my attention towards him, and took in all his beauty. Then my eyes landed on the jade necklace that I have been dying to ask about.

"Hey Steph?"

"Yeah baby?" He looked at me

"What is the backstory behind that necklace," I said while grabbing it.

His eyes widened as he yeeted my hand off of it.

"Sorry. It's just really important to me," he said looking down at it

"Oh...I guess I should have asked before touching it, Sorry," I said.

"It's fine Tony. How could I ever be mad at you, and how freaking cute you are?!" He said nuzzling into my neck.

"Hmmm..your hair smells nice," I said my voices muffled by his hair

"If you really want to know, I will tell you," He said sitting up.

"I'm all ears," sitting up just as he did.

"My aunt gave me this necklace. And boy she was something else. She would always tell me and my siblings stories about her life in the army. And my gosh how I would love to hear them. But then..... she was diagnosed with cancer. She never came as often and I wasn't allowed to see her. She had always been there whenever my parents were mad and at me favoring my siblings. Then I went to the hospital to talk to her, but she was already gone. I was depressed as can be, and started failing most of my classes. Then it all stopped when she visited in my dream. She told me that life would be better and not to mourn over her. She wanted me to live my life as I pleased. I always have kept this necklace with me no matter what," Tears were flowing down his cheeks as he finished his story.

"Oh Steph.. I'm so sorry," I said hugging him.

"Thanks Tony, I felt like I had to get that out,"

I just nodded and kissed his forehead.

"I love you Stephy," I said kissing him.

"I love you even more," he said returning the kiss.
