Steve's pov

As soon as I changed out of my football gear I checked my phone. My heart pounded. 46 texts from Nat. Steve. My dads home. Pls come over. I need you here. Help! Help! I need you.
I didn't bother reading the rest of the messages before running out to the bleachers. Clint and his gang were sitting and smoking.

"Clint!"
I yelled running up to them

"Look Rogers I can't tell you if you got in- "

"Clint! It's Natasha."
Without hesitation all the guys raced to their cars. Driving to Natasha's house we didn't care if we surpassed the speed limit.

"Natasha?"
The door was open. So we split up. Clint Bucky and Wade went in from the backyard. While Peter Loki and I came in through the front. The house was big. But it was dead silent. Walking through it the mirror in the dining room was shattered. Blood lined most of the first floor. My heart practically skipped a beat. Loud footsteps approached us.

"Guys your gonna wanna see this."
Loki said in his British accent
Following Loki outside, Clint and Wade were standing at the edge of the pool. No no no.

"S-she's down there."
Wade stuttered pointing into the pool.

"You didn't think to get her!?"
I asked, my voiced laced with fear.

"None of us can swim"
Right then and their I ripped off my shirt and kicked off my shoes and socks. Diving into the red tinted pool I swam to the bottom. The chlorine burned my eyes but I didn't care. As I got closer she became clearer. Her red hair was floating around her face. Her stomach and leg were bleeding. They will start bleeding even more once I get her out of the water. Scooping her body into my arms i rose to the surface. Her head hung back and I couldn't see her breathing.

"Peter go get a blanket. Now!"
Running away, Loki and Clint lulled Natasha out of the water. Laying her down the grass, we crowded her. She wasn't breathing and her wounds were bleeding severely. Grabbing my ripped shirt I wrapped half of it on her mid section and the other half on her leg. Peter returned with the blanket and I wrapped it around her. Clint called 911 and we waited. Momentarily we heard sirens.

"WE'RE BACK HERE!"
Bucky and Wade yelled.
The police and the paramedics came to us. Everything happened so fast. They picked her up and carried her to a stretcher.

"How long was she in the pool?"
A paramedic asked

"I-I don't know"

"Sir do you know why she's bleeding?"

"Sh-she got injured previously on her stomach from getting jumped. Her stitches reopened."

"And her leg?"

"I-I don't know."
Tears were escaping my eyes.

"Is she going to be okay?"

"We don't know"
They loaded the stretcher into the ambulance.

"Can we go with her?"
Peter whispered

"Two of you can."
A policeman said

"Clint-"
I started but he cut me off

"No.Peter and Cap your going"

"Cap?"

"Your the new captain of the football team"
I slightly smiled through my tears and worry and all the fear.

Peter and I climbed into the back of the ambulance with the stretcher.
Natasha just lay there. Limp and cold. Her beautiful emerald eyes were shut. Her flowing red hair was wet and knotted. I hung my head and let the tears flow. Grabbing her cold hand I didn't let go until the drive was over and I had to let go.

"Wait! Let Sara help her, she knows Sara!"
They simply nodded and carried on.

Peter and I waited in the waiting room for a long time. I couldn't stop thinking about her house. The broken mirror the blood. Did someone do this to her?

Just then my mom came to us. Peter was the first to ask anything.

"Is she okay?"

"She's breathing."
I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding.

"But she has some severe injuries."
She continued

"Can we see her?"
My mother nodded and led us to her room. The walls were white a long with everything else, which made her hair stand out. Up to her chest was covered by the sheet. My mom said her stomach has been re stitched, and her leg had been stitched as well.

"Stay as long as you like."
I sat down in those uncomfortable hospital chairs that sometimes make you itch. Pulling it away from the wall and right next to her bed I once again grabbed her hand. Peter stayed for a while before his mom made him leave. I had called Clint, Wade,Bucky and Loki. All of them showed up and then left almost as fast. Her room had colour now. From all the flowers and teddy bears brought in it looked like spring.
The night went on and I hadn't let go of her hand.

"Natasha please you have to wake up, I need to now your ok. The doctor said you should have been awake 30 minutes ago. I'm worried about you Nat."

And then I felt the smallest little squeeze.

Yay! Surprisingly I don't really have anything to say this time. Which makes it funny that I started an A/N just to tell you that. 😂
