A/N: there are going to be a lot of flashbacks in this one, so it will jump a lot. There is some language in this story, so I hope Captain America isn't reading. I'm so sorry Steve ehehehe.

The first of the five high rises was up and welcoming visitors. I had decided to put an investment in the future because a previous lover and I had broken up and it really affected me because we had spent 5 years together, but after his sister died, he left. I don't know where he moved to, but after the abrupt end to our relationship, I never wanted to talk to him again.

The building was magnificent, and I had purchased a room on the 25th floor, 2508 to be precise. I noticed some people moving into their homes, and recognised a face moving into room 2505. it looked like him, why would he be here? He seemed to notice me, but that was the last time we ever saw each other, for a couple months.

----flashback----

"Come on darling open it up already, your keeping me waiting."

"Will you give me a second to get past your terrible wrapping Robert." I laughed.

I got through the sparkly Christmas paper to a small, rectangular, black box. Too big to be a ring, much too small to be a novelty joke item, Robert usually ended up giving me. I opened the box to a necklace, a beautiful silver chain and green jewel hanging off it.

"Oh Robert, it's beautiful darling. I love it, thank you."

"Merry Christmas my love."

----end of flashback----

I let out a yell as you sprung up. I had tears streaming down my face after remembering my first Christmas with Robert. I still wear that necklace from time to time, hoping that he will come back on day It was 6:30 in the morning and I could hear the ramblings of a party that had gone through the night and into the early hours. I knew I wasn't going to get any sleep, so I made my way into the kitchen to make breakfast.

I opened my fridge, but the power must have gone down because the light didn't turn on like it would normally do.

Shit.

My milk had gone off in, and so did most of the things in my fridge. I hate going outside when there are the lower people out partying. Not being rude, but the fights that have broken out between the upper and lower floors have been very scary. I was even attacked myself at one point, but if I was ever going to get my groceries, it should probably be now. Before everything goes again.

I got dressed and picked up my bag before heading out, there was a couple of other people going into rooms and coming out to see the fuss, but one person, a man, was just walking down to the stairs. That was the man I recognised, who saved me from that attack. I need to catch up to him.

I walk speedily towards the man, trying not to get stopped by a suspicious wanker who thought that it was his or her business to know everything. I despise those people.
