"Why'd you take it this far anyway?"

"I don't deserve her, I thought that if I acted like the biggest dick she'd ever met she'd move on. I didn't think she'd leave. I don't want her to leave Steve."

"It's a little too late for that." Steve says causing Bucky to clench his jaw.

"I think you're right. I fucked up; and now I'll never see her again." Bucky says making Steve clench his jaw. "It's my fault, I just wish I could go back in time and tell her the truth. Before it all turned out like this."

"The things we'd do differently if we had the choice, I have a few. It's called regret Buck."

"I know, and I regret it all."

Now –

You stare out the window of the little cottage by a lake and stare at the water as the moonlight reflects off it. It had been a few weeks since that fateful night and when you had run from the room and disappeared into the night. You ended up in your car and halfway across the state before you even realized what was happening. When it finally registered you had pulled your car over to the side of the road and just bawled your eyes out.

When you had looked up from your steering wheel you had seen a sign for cabin rentals. Before making a beeline for it you had shut off your phone to keep anyone from locating you. You needed time alone. It didn't matter how long it took, even if you spent a little more than you had, you could afford it. Thankfully they had a cabin left right next to the lake. It was a beautiful place, perfect for clearing your mind.

You take a sip of your morning coffee and marvel in the way it awakens your senses. This place was paradise. No noise, little to no people, and no men. You figured the team was going crazy looking for you; but you just couldn't bring yourself to care. You needed the solitude. As you stare at the ripples in the water caused from the wind your mind drifts back to that night. How could he do that? Was hurting you all those times not enough? Did he have to go and lie like that? Love you? Ha, that was a laugh. You don't do things like that to people you love.

Your brows furrow as you gulp down the rest of your coffee and set the mug in the sink. You'd wash it later. First things first, you needed a swim to clear your head.

"Are you sure you should be the one to go Buck?" Steve asks as he walks after his friend who was headed to his room. "You're kind of the last person she wants to see."

"I know, but I need to do this." Bucky says his eyes focused and sober for the first time in weeks. When she had disappeared, he had gone insane with worry. All he could think about was that something horrible had happened to her, and as the weeks went on his worry turned to sheer panic. It wasn't until moments ago when she had slipped up and let herself be caught on a general store security camera, that all his fears were laid to rest. Now he needed to go after her and try to make things right.

He knew he had been a grade A asshole, but her being gone just proved how much he needed her. He hadn't lied when he said he loved her, he had just been so panicked about her leaving that he had said it at the wrong time. It seemed like that was all he was good at now, doing the right thing at the wrong times. That night had been the last time he looked for solace in some random girl's arms. He knew he needed to change if he ever wanted her to give him a second chance to be the man she believed he was deep inside.
