You were sat at in your apartment waiting for your boyfriend to come home, he was out with his friends at the "pub" but you knew he was out there with another woman. So, just to be sure, you called his friend, who like you not in that way though he's like a best friend to you, "Hey, Scott if Ethan there with you?" you asked concerned. "um no why'd you ask?" he says mirroring your voice. "oh okay worries, I'll let you know when he gets home." you mumble quickly putting the phone down. You sigh and decided to take a bath to take your mind off him. It also gave you time to think about this so called relationship of yours. It broke your heart. Three years, three years you have dedicated to this man despite all the comments of "he's cheating you know, you don't deserve him, you can do better, stop wasting your time." the most hurtful thing was that they were right, and that you stuck up for him through it all.

You spent around two hours in the bath so you decided to get out, out on some cosy pyjamas and make some tea. You were slumped on the couch when he came bursting through the door drunk out of his mind. You paid him no mind and continued watching the TV. He marched over to you tearing your attention away from the screen. "Where were you?" you mumble too weak to shout. "Didn't I tell you I was out having a drink with Scott and a few mates." he slurred. He also reeked of alcohol. "Don't lie to me" you mutter. "I know you were out with another woman" you said a little louder. "WHO TOLD YOU YOU COULD SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT!!!!" He screamed at you making you whimper. He slapped you across the face with a brutal force- probably cutting you-and gripped your hair and dragged you down the hall. Eventually he let you go and you made a run for it. You grabbed you phone and keys and ran out of you apartment ignoring his screams for you to come back, you were sick of him. You already had slippers on so you didn't fuss with finding shoes anyways. You jumped into your car and sped away.

You knew where you were heading. You arrived outside and ran in, not bothering to knock. She was sitting on the couch when you barged in. You immediately sprung towards her and practically jumped into her arms. She didn't hesitate to hug back. You were sobbing uncontrollably, you held on to her for dear life. "What happened Y/N?"she cooed. You shook violently in her frame and hesitated before looking up at her. She lightly gasped and pulled you away but close enough to cup your cheeks to wipe away the continuous flow of tears. "Let's get you cleaned up and you can tell me all about it yeah?" she soothed. You nodded and followed her to the bathroom. You looked in the mirror and winced at the sight. You had a large red hand plastered across your face and a few gashes on your face from the forceful impact. She smiled sadly at you and picked you up placing you on the counter. She looked into your eyes before she wiped at the cuts making you wince. "I'm sorry" she mumbled, concentrating trying not to hurt you. "No I'm sorry" you said shakily. "What are you sorry for?" she asked genuinely puzzled. "I didn't wan to disturb you but I didn't know where else to go, I feel safe here." you said barely above a whisper. She smiled "Good I'm glad." she murmured finishing off and picking you up to put you back down on the floor.

You were sat on her couch with a cup of tea in your hands. "So what happened?" she asked. Looking at her you sighed and began to tell her what happened. "then I came here." you finished off. She looked sad, it made you heart weak, despite being in a 3-year relationship you couldn't help but feel something between the two of you, and the more time you spent together, the stronger those feelings grew. She pulled you into a hug and you stayed there for a few moments before she pulled away. "You can stay here if you want I don't want you going back there again" she said bluntly. You could tell she was mad but not with you she could never be with you -well possible staying with him despite all he had done but besides the point- she was mad with him. You looked up at her and smiled then nodded. "I'll be back." she said before getting up. You winced but knew not to not let her go. You knew what she was going to do you couldn't find it in yourself to care what she did to him. You winced as she got up and shut the door loudly.

Driving to your place, Natasha let the tears fall. She couldn't stand to see you sad let alone hurt. But hurt by the one person you put your trust in enraged her even more. She slammed the door open and marched to your room to find him passed out in your bed. Filthy. She thought to herself. she kicked him off the bed making him plop on the floor. He got up and looked at Natasha then smirked. "Well, what's a pretty thing like you doing here?" he slurred making her cringe. She walked towards him. "Why I'm just here to teach a man a lesson to not hit a woman." she teased. He looked shocked then looked at her face, she right hooked his jaw as hard as she could then walked over to your dresser and grabbed all your clothes, electronics and personal things then walked to the hallway to gather all your shoes before storming back out and slamming the door again behind her.

When she got home she put all your things down before walking over to you. You looked up at her worried. "Does he have a pulse?" you question sarcastically. She smiled and nodded. "Then you didn't do a good enough job." you huff making her laugh. You smiled at the sound then grabbed her hand and pulled her back down onto the couch. You wrapped your arms around her torso and she trailed her arms around your shoulder. You looked up at her; "Thank you Natasha" you said softly. She looked down and met your gaze, she smiled. "You'd know I'd do anything for you Y/N." she whispered pulling you closer. You frown "I know... that's the problem" you mumble. She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion, but before she could say anything you had smashed you lips to hers. It was a shock at first but soon she melted into it. You pulled away when you felt the need to breathe. She smiled and said "how is that a problem?" before kissing you again. You smile into it and mumble "because, I think I love you." Now it was her time to smile, "That's good because I love you too."
