"I mean its weird jake. This man that has been our boss for six or seven years just pops up and says I should be in a cage so I can't die. If I do he dies Instantly."

I was talking to the still, pale body of jake.

I can't stand seeing him like this.

They say he fell off a balcony . While on a mission he fell to the ground. Hit his head real hard.

I mean he knocked himself out. Cracked a few ribs, broke his left arm and right leg. But otherwise he's fine.

Wait. Fine? He is not fine!

He's in a stage seven coma.

Do you know what that is?

It's the highest stage for comas. The one where they never. Wake. Up.

He can't die.

They said that after six months their taking him off life support.

I'm not gonna let that happen.

He's always been there for me.

He's been the brother I never had. The one when my real brother was too busy with a mission or a quest to pay attention to me. He's always been there. I just want him to wake up.

" you know he's gonna wake up." A familiar voice wafted through the air and into my ears.

" Steve. What are you doing here?" I asked not looking up from my spot.

He came in and sat down across from me , his hands in his lap as he fiddled with them almost nervously.

" I came to ask you something ."

My head lifted up the slightest bit to look him in the eye.

" go on." I urged and he swallowed hard and shifted in his seat again.

" would you...like to...uh....go to um Starks...party with me?" He squeaked out.

I smiled softly and looked over to jakes body once more.

" of course." He smiled happily and jumped up, almost dancing around.

" this doesn't mean anything Rogers."

I smirked and he stopped dancing, coughing uncomfortably but keeping the happy smile.

" o-of course Zoe. Ill see you tomorrow at seven." He said quickly before running out the door with a smile on his face.

Do I like him?

I don't know because I don't know if I should like anyone again.

It's risky , yes. But that's what I'm all about.

But still. I don't want to right now.

I just don't know what I'm feeling.

I'm feeling something, heck yes.

I just don't think it's feelings for him yet.

" did he ask you?" Nat asked me at the lunch table.

I raised an eyebrow." What. Did you guys bet on it or something?" I asked.

Her and Clint exchanged a look and I groaned.

" seriously? You betted on wether he would ask me or not?"

" well it's obvious that he wanted to." Clint argued.

" fine well he did." I sighed.

" whatcha say?" Nat asked.

" yes."

She squealed and pointed at Clint." You owe me a hundred bucks."

My eyes widened as he face palmed handing her a bill.

" you betted a hundred bucks on this?" I asked in disbelief .

She nodded, her eyes sparkling." Yes. Wouldn't you do it?"

I shook my head and smirked." You guys got a date for the party yet?" I asked.

They exchanged a look and a smile.

" yes." They said in sync, blushing.

I smirked and stabbed my fork into my food." I knew it!"

They blushed but tried to cover it up." What do you mean?" They asked.

" you asked her out." I said pointing my finger accusingly at Clint.

He snorted ." Ya. So. Steve asked you out."

I laughed." It's just one date. Doesn't mean we're gonna go out anymore."

Nat smirked." Oh you'll be surprised what will happen."

I shook my head." I highly doubt it."

" I picked out an outfit for you." She said suddenly.

My eyes widened once again and I dropped my fork.

" oh .....poop." I said.

She laughed ." I'm kidding. I'm taking you shopping tomorrow morning."

I sighed with relief." But your wearing a dress."

I choked on my food." What!?!" I yelled.

" you are wearing a dress." She said simply, as she smirked to herself.

I groaned." Fine. But only if I get to wear my converse."

She nodded." Fine but you gotta wear makeup."

She said holding out her hand.

" deal?"

I shook it hesitantly .

" deal."
