The abandoned orphanage

chapter 5.

Steve POV

I woke up by my alarm so I can run in the morning as I get out of the bed but being careful and I wouldn't wake bucky up at all. He likes to sleep in the morning lot and he isn't a morning person at all so I always gotta be careful when I am getting to run with sam this morning. I get dressed as I gently kissed bucky's cheeks then I exit the room.

I went downstairs as I was humming to myself while walking towards the kitchen and I was making coffee for myself like I always do. I felt something off in this house as I put my coffee cup onto the counter and I go back upstairs to cheek on Ezra's room when I open her door to see it's empty then I quickly got my phone out to text her. Where is she!? she better be okay!!! Please be my baby okay and safe or so help me, ill hurt someone! I heard my buzz as I looked at the text messages to see it's from Ezra and I sighed out of relief.

I texted her back and she is with Tj so that's good. I hope nothing has happened to them and they better be safe. Please watch them and I just don't want her to get her or worse than that but I can't be negative about it. She is a strong girl that can take care of herself but for me and bucky did worry about her lot then we should be.

I know you should trust your kids with all of your heart but it's hard when they are kinda like a troublemaker here. It does scare me to think that one of these days that she will run away from us. She does love us with all of her heart here and it's just that im afraid that she is gonna hate us but I know I shouldn't think that... I can't help it at all. I just hope she is okay.

After my run, I get home to see bucky on the couch petting our cat too. We did get her when I adopted Erza but she didn't like the cat at all and we never understood why so we can help them get along together" you okay?" Bucky asked as I looked at him " yeah im fine. " I told him " okay, I haven't seen Erza at all today...is weird." He said " she is with Tj," I said as he gazes at me " what?" " you know what," he said " no I don't. " I replied " you know I don't like it when she is hanging out with boys by herself," he explained to me " she can handle herself and she is 17 years old here so we can't be overprotective of her for long. " I said as he groans and looks away from me. I know he's pouting right now because im right about that so he gotta deal with it.

" but she is my little girl"

" not anymore. She is gonna be 18 years old soon and we gotta trusted her more here. "

" I know but still "

" I know you are worried about her but we gotta have faith in her so yeah. "

" okay"

As he kisses my lips and I kiss back then I slowly wrapped my arms around his neck and he wrapped his arms around my waist while we did a make-out on the couch in front of the cat.

I have been getting worried about mel here and I know she can be stubborn just like bucky here but that doesn't mean she can cut me and him off like she wants to do this to herself. Yet I understand why she is doing here and I know she is wondering about her real parents in all but her parents were hydra so they weren't nice or great people to be parents here even though we should tell her but she finds out on owning her. Are we terrible people? I hope not.  I don't want her to think that we kept this from her for so long cause we're trying to keep her safe and sound.

I just hope she is okay right now and safe too.
