Steve hugged you, stroking your back. "I'm sorry Y/N. I'm sorry."
"No. No. No, no," you kept repeating.
"He isn't dead. He isn't, no."
He isn't...
The first stage of grief is denial.
"No."
"It can't be."
"It isn't true."
The second stage of grief is pain and guilt.
"I shouldn't have left him."
"I couldn't save him."
"It's all my fault."
The third stage of grief is anger.
"How could you!"
"I trusted you!"
"Fuck you!"
The fourth stage of grief is depression.
Endless nights of crying.
"Y/N please eat."
"I can't feel anything."
The fifth stage of grief is reconstruction.
"I'm fine."
"I'll get over it."
"He will be missed."
The sixth and final stage of grief is acceptance.
Finally being able to laugh again.
Feeling positive emotions.
"I'm great!"

It took you exactly 2 years to completely get over the death of James Bucky Barnes. You joined the Avengers and got a boyfriend who's a doctor, Paul Hart. He's kind and caring and has good humor and he's a very good listener. You would get frequent panic attacks, but Sam was always there for you, he helped you through every single one.A year ago you got a tattoo on your left shoulder 'B.B.'
Even tho he was no longer part of you he was still a part of your life and you will never forget him. Ever.
And that was the end of your adventure with James Buchanan Barnes.
Or was it?
No.
It wasn't....
