The life of Jessica Stark (Bucky x OC)

Chapter 32

*Recommended: She's always a woman ~ Billy Joel *

It's been a week since I came home/broke out of the SHIELD facility and it's been difficult to adjust to say the least. I've struggled the most sleeping on my own

- Flashback to 1st night alone-

"Come on Jess, you must be exhausted" My dad hums whilst he strokes my hair. After our little heart to heart, I decided I didn't want to be alone so we spent the rest of the night just in each others company, something we haven't done in years.

"Fine" I huff, pulling myself up "Are you sure I can't sleep on your floor?"

"We spoke about this... it's better to sleep in your own room trust me"

I do trust him on this. I remember when he was kidnapped, I was just a kid and didn't really know what happened but months after he would spend night after night for months waking up and screaming. I wish everyday that I had my powers sooner so I could've helped him. Reluctantly, I stand up and walk over to my room. Everything was perfectly tidied away, nothing like it normally would be. I walk over to the chair that has Bucky's jacket draped over it. Grazing my fingers over the soft leather, I'm taken back to the day I wore it. Everything was much simpler back then but it feels like a lifetime ago now. I wander over to my drawers and grab some pyjamas, I quickly notice that I grabbed the same ones I was wearing that morning... Bucky's red Henley and the black sweatpants Loki conjured after I walked out without any pants. I let out a dry laugh at the memory, all the memories really.

After changing, I drop down on my bed allowing my exhaustion to really take over. I stop fighting and just let it

"Welcome back Jessica" Sharon's voice rings around the room. I wipe my eyes groggily to see I'm back in that small white room

"No no no no" I say as I jump out of bed and run around the room trying to find a way out "DAD!!" I yell

"They aren't here Jess, just us" Her voice booming through the speakers

"Please..." I cry as I drop to the floor knowing I'm trapped again "BUCKY!! STEVIE!!" I scream hoping someone, anyone helps. I jump up as I hear the door unlock and open to reveal two large men dressed head to toe in white

"Grab her" Sharon orders and they charge towards me

"NO PLEASE" I struggle as they both take an arm and lift me off the ground as they drag me away "BUCKY, DAD PLEASE!!"

~~

I shoot up in a cold sweat and tears dripping down my face

"Jess are you ok?!" I look next to me to see Bucky, Steve, Pietro, Sam and my dad

"Princessa?..." Pietro walks closer but I just look around my room confused from my all too real dream

"Steve put the shower on for her, she's absolutely drenched" Bucky order and Steve does as he's told

"I'll grab her some clothes" My dad mumbles before running out the room

"W-what?..." I manage to form a word

"You just started screaming doll and you wouldn't wake up" Bucky answers, I only realise now how terrified he looks

"Buck here was shaking you for a good ten minutes" Sam says, pulling my attention from Bucky to him and Pietro

"Can someone get me a drink please?" before I could even finish my sentence Pietro was crouched next to Bucky holding a glass of water for me "Thank you" I say after grabbing and downing the whole thing. Pietro takes the glass back from me as Bucky grabs my hand and guides me out of bed. I wobble slightly as I stand, making Bucky wrap his arm around my waist to hold me steady
