Sarah's POV

In the middle of the class, I get a call from the phone Tony gave me to use. It's temporary, but it's easier to use than an ear piece in some situations.

"Sarah?" I hear from the other side

My eyes widen, my heart rate speeds up.

"Please don't hang up." Uncle James pleads

I look down, waving at my students that they have a short break to relax during.

"Did you mean what you said?" he asks

I walk to a more private place, hiding away from the publicity of the class. I think deep down if I really do hate him or if I just said that in fear of that moment.

"Be honest please." he pleads

"I don't know." I shake my head softly

"It hurt me." he mumbles

"What? Your hand? I didn't mean to squeeze it that hard."

"You didn't hurt my hand."

"Oh, well good." I sigh

"Do you think you'll ever forgive me?"

"I just wish-yo-since I was a small child, I never trusted someone as much as I trusted you..so when you broke a life long promise that was made and kept by our assailants..I had never felt that kind of betrayal before, it caught me off guard in the worst possible way. It's the kind of betrayal that makes your heart drop and makes you feel like you never wanna stop crying, but in that moment at the doctor..I felt it. Yeah, being betrayed by my own kidnappers hurt, but there are things they could have done to me that they didn't do and for that I am eternally grateful. However, you were the great white hope of my childhood, you were the person closest to my dad in this entire world, yet I ended up caring about you for you. I looked up to you so much, as a child should look up to someone. I have no idea if raising me meant anything to you or if it's the thing you regret most in your life. Though, it wasn't your fault if you genuinely didn't know, giving me no reason to feel so repulsed towards you." I express quietly

"You think I regret saving you?"

"Sometimes..especially in situations like this."

"You are what I regret the least." he chuckles

"Oh.."

"Doll, it's so hard without having you to talk to or share my memories with. I don't like telling em to Steve because he lived em out with me and he has much worse things to worry about. I miss having my partner in existence, not even your sister can fill that role-it was yours the minute I knew I had to keep you safe."

"We can talk at dinner."

"Does this mean you're that not mad at me anymore?" Mr. James asks in a worried and slightly hopeful tone

"That doesn't mean i'm happy with you." I point

"I don't care, as long as you're not mad." he lets out a large sigh of relief

"I don't know." I shake my head

"Ms. Rogers? One of the guys twisted his ankle." a student peeks around the corner

"I'll be right in-I have to go." I tell the first part to the student and the second part to the phone

"Yes ma'am." the student sighs

"Oh, okay." Uncle James releases
