Attempted love

9

Today is finally Saturday. I'm in my room with the door cracked open. I haven't closed it in a year. It makes them nervous and I completely get that.

There's a knock at my door and I break out of my zone and look up. Pietro is standing there and I sit up more, motioning for him to sit beside me. He speeds over and looks at me with a smile.

"Hi, Mia."

"Hi, Pietro." I smile slightly.

"I love that." He says pointing to my face.

"What?"

"Your smile. It's beautiful."

I smile wider and he chuckles.

"See?"

I try to put the smile away, but it doesn't work.

"Whatcha doing here?" I ask.

"Came to see you. We miss you down there."

"Should I go down?"

"Soon. I want to tell you something first."

"Go ahead."

"I like you."

"What?"

"I like, like you."

"Are you messing with me?"

"No. It's true."

"Oh." I smile. "I like you, too."

"That's good." He chuckles.

"Yeah, it is. Um. I don't know what to do now."

"Me neither."

We stare into each others eyes with smiles on our faces. I get up and he follows before speeding us to the elevator.

We get down there and the smile on my face disappears when I see Sharron standing there. I grab onto Pietros arm and he holds my hand with his other.

We step out of the elevator and Wanda comes over as he eyeballs Sharron.

"Why is she here?" He asks.

"She won't leave." Dad says looking at me.

I wrap my hand around Pietros arm and move closer.

"I can be wherever I want. Hey, crybaby." She smiles sarcastically.

I stay quiet and Pietro wraps his arm around my shoulder as Wanda takes my hand.

She gives me a disgusted look while looking me up and down. I look away and hide some of body behind Pietro. She chuckles and I look up at her as she looks away.

"You can leave, now." Thor says.

"I'm not going anywhere."

"No one wants you here." Wanda states.

"Doesn't crybaby want me here?"

She looks at me with a smirk and I shake my head 'no'. Scoffs and turns to Steve. She eyeballs him and he just sits there.

"How about now?" Nat asks Clint.

"Fine. Not. Dead."

She smiles and stands up. She looks at me and stops.

"I'm gonna fight her. You want me to do that here or somewhere else?"

"Somewhere else."

She nods and grabs Sharon hard and throws her in the elevator. The doors close and I let out a sigh.

"You alright?" Pietro asks.

"Not really." I sigh.

He speeds Wanda and I to the couch and keeps his arm around me.

"You gonna panic?" Dad asks quickly.

"No. I'll be fine."

"Good."
