"My biggest fear is that eventually you'll see me the way I see myself."

Natasha's POV,

"Will you go out with me" he asked

I was shocked, did Steve Rogers the guy who bullied me all through elementary and middle school just ask me out? Am I dreaming, what the hell is going on.

"Um" I cleared my throat "no" I replied "I can't" I added noticing the confusion on his face

"Why not" he asked

"Because I don't believe in that type of stuff" I replied

"Believe in what" he asked confused with a hint of anger

"I'm sorry Steve" I said as I got up and walked away

I didn't want to hurt him, sure he hurt me, doesn't mean I wanted to hurt him. I just don't believe in love, I can't risk him falling for me, knowing that I'll never be able to do the same, plus I know once he finds out what I've done... he'll never look at me the same. The rest of the day at school, went by slow, unlucky for me all my classes are with Steve, talk about awkward.

"Okay class for today's assignment your gonna pair up with the person next you" the teacher said as he handed out the supplies

'Great, this is gonna be a really long class' I thought to myself as I internally rolled my eyes

I turned to look at Steve giving him a friendly smile "I guess we're partners"

He rolled his eyes "yeah" he replied coldly

My smile faded and we started to work on the assignment

After class, James came by my side wrapping his arm around my neck

"Everything okay Talia" he asked concerned

I nodded "yeah"

He sighed, he obviously knew I was lying but he knew better then to ask "you know...I got your back, no matter what" he said

I gave him a soft smile and nodded "thank you"

"No problem" he replied giving me a soft smile and we walked to my house

"Nick, we're home" I said as James and I walked through the doors

When I told Clint and Nick about James, they decided to get him out of the KGB and bring him here to his new home.

"Hey kids, dinners almost ready, Nat can you get Maria" Nick said

"Yeah, I'll go get her" I replied, then I went upstairs to Maria's room

"Maria, dinners ready" I said as I knocked on her door

"Coming" she replied as she opened the door and we both went downstairs for dinner

"So, how'd school go" Nick asked

"Good" we replied

He looked at us eyebrows furrowed "just...good" he asked

I nodded

He sighed in defeat and we ate dinner in silence

That night as I went to sleep, the memories filled my head in the form of a nightmare.

Flashback/nightmare

"I love you" said the voice of my boyfriend Alexi

"I love you too" I replied

Alexi and I knew better than to admit our love, we were both taught from a young age love was a weakness, a weakness for children.

It then went to another memory
