No Fear|B.Barnes

Chpt. 17

After the movie ended, Wanda instantly pulled me up and ran me upstairs. Not bothering to clean up unless you include taking two blankets for me and her with us. She plopped me on her bed, throwing the blanket over my head. "Okay...whats going on?" I asked.

"I don't want anything to change so I'm going to keep things as normal as possible. But for that to work we need to get everything out." She pulled the blanket from my head, leaving my hair a mess. "So just say what you're thinking, even if it's something I shouldn't need to hear, I can take it."

"Wanda, I'm..." I thought for a moment, "I don't do these kinds of things. We're never going to have one of those normal girl moments where we just pour out our hearts. I just...I'm not one of those girls. I can't be one of those girls." She looked at me, a bit upset. I took her hand.

"We don't have to be normal girls, we be the girls we want to be." I told her. "Plus, there is no normal popular girl that is as cool as you." She laughed, covering her mouth. "What popular girl can get an annoying boy disappear but literally throwing them away." We laughed so hard we fell into each other's lap.

I decided I wanted to sleep in my own bed this time, but Bucky and I were still fighting over him staying with me.

"Bucky, I will be fine alone!" I assured him, but he continued to fight.

"I'm not taking any chances. The guy who...did it...worked at the Palace, I'm not taking any chances!" He sat on the couch against the glass wall before crossing his arms. I shook my head before sighing in defeat.

"Fine, but you sleep on the couch." I ordered. He smiled at me, proud he won the fight.

I pulled the blanket over me before pulling my eyelids closed. I fell into a daze before landing into my dream world.

"Darling, are you alright?" The woman that claimed to be my mother rushed up to me, holding my face.

"I'm fine. I just have questions." I told her, she nodded before her hands returned to her side.

"My name is Lilian Chase, you knew that though. If anyone told you me and your father died, it was HYDRA setting you up." She told me. I nodded, remembering what happened, but they never said anything about my father.

"What about dad? Is he alive?" I asked.

"He's alive, I just don't know where he is. If I tell the government, HYDRA sweared to kill him, that's why I need you and your friends to find him. Come find me first so I can tell you everything." She demanded.

"Why don't you just tell me now? I'm here aren't I?"

"Yes, my love, but we need to discuss what happened." I frowned, thinking back to the moment.

"I'm sorry, mother, but I'm just not very good at talking about my feelings." I told her, she smiled at me sympathetically.

"Your father used to say that all the time, and you know what? He was wrong. My dear, you shouldn't let a man control you so." She advised me.

"Control? He's not controlling me." I corrected her, but she thought different.

"If He didn't control you then how come he's the first person to make you cry since you were 15?" She asked. I looked at her, fear striking my heat. She was right.

"Don't let him control you. Don't
let any man control you. You are your own." I held her jawline before nodding.

"I promise, I promise I'll try to be strong." I rested my head on her shoulder as she wrapped her arms around me.
