The forgotten child

Chapter one

You walk out of your apartment, on the way to
get food for your boyfriend and you. It's a cold night you feel a chill in the air, as you can kinda see your breath you keep on walking getting further away by the minute.

"Do I even want to go back" you think to yourself as you keep passing stores.
"is it even worth staying just for the apartment
I could go see the old man on it but unless pepper is there it'll be a no" your phone begins to ring as your lost in thought. You quickly snap out of it, and see his name light up your  screen, you let out a groan as you hit accept.

y/n: hey babe what's up
You glance into a cars wing mirrors as you spot your black eye showing. "I'm gonna have to cover that up before work tomorrow" you think not even paying attention as to what toby has to say.

Toby: are you even listening to me right now because you sure ain't answering me do I need to teach you another lesson

Y/n: yeah I'm listening babe you said you wanted a stuffed crust this time and just pepperoni right

Toby: no I said I want pepperoni with jalapeños and a stuffed crust with a bottle not a can a bottle of soda

Y/n: yeah got it and anyway last time they were out bottles remember I got you 3 cans for the price of one

Toby carries on talking as you continue towards the pizza store, not even paying attention fully as always he continues to bark orders at you, and at this point after six months you've had enough of hearing it. You keep your head down trying to hide your black eye as you walk towards a coffee shop. You bump into someone spilling coffee all over them, you slowly look up and then back down.

Y/n: babe I'm gonna have to go don't worry I'll be home soon

Toby: if you hang up you will be in serious trou...

You hang up the call before even letting him finish his sentence as you look at the woman stood before you. "Great Natasha romanoff one of the avengers just like that fake dad of mine what's the chances of me running into her clearly high enough" you think as she just looks at you. "Oh god she's looking at me like I'm an idiot gotta say something" you look at her showing her the black eye you got not long ago hoping she doesn't question it.

Y/n: I'm sorry I wasn't watching where I was going my boyfriend says it's one of my biggest downfalls well that and not listening can I maybe buy you another drink you can choose of course

"Did I really just say that who says that you can choose of course seriously why didn't I just shut my mouth god I'm such a idiot and she's...she's just wow" you look at her trying to concentrate on not letting your eyes wander over her. "seriously now is not the time to be debating if I like the same sex or not focus" you look back into her eyes trying not to make it awkward well anymore awkward.

Nat: yeah you can buy me another drink but I'm gonna need two things from you first

"Phone number please say phone number nope not gonna happen" you shake your head to snap yourself back to the conversation at hand.

Nat: number one I need to get your name doesn't have to be full name and number two I need a explanation on to how and why you have that

She points at your black eye on your left, as you try putting your head down to hide it, but then decide on a better way. You lift your head up and cover you eye with your hand as you look at her. "Why did you have to notice the eye".

Y/n: I'm y/n I can tell you that much and well erm my eye see I was walking out my apartment building and I tripped up over a dog a stray dog and I hit my eye so yeah I'm just really clumsy

She looks at you clearly not believing you she doesn't say a single word. She turns and walks into the coffee shop and straight up to the counter you follow her in trying to keep your head down. As to not show your eye to anyone else hoping not to get questioned by anyone else about it.
