It All Started With The Wrong Number (Tony Stark X OC/Reader)

Ch.2 × Tony's Story

It caught me off guard " What?" I repeated.

" Let's. Break. Up" she said, pausing between words.

I felt my heart tinged " B-But why?" My voice trembled.

She sighed and closed her eyes before opening it and she looked sternly at me " I can't do this anymore.. You keep risking your life, not caring of how I feel if you actually died..." her eyes were covered in tears.

" I'm sorry, Pep... I won't do it again" I said.

" Promise?" She asked.

I just stood there, I didn't answer her. I felt like I wouldn't be able to fulfill that promise, isn't it supposed to be my job to risk my life to save others?

Her face slowly turned to anger and a little bit of regret " I knew it... I'm sorry but I want to break up... I hope you can find someone that actually loves you and your risking live behaviour, I love you I do but I just couldn't handle your behaviour. You might want to take your company back because I quit... Good bye, Mr.Stark... I hope that when we meet again... IF we meet again, you've already met your true happiness" She said, tears slid on her cheeks before walking out.

" Pepper!" I ran out and chased after her, she ran pass the 2nd group and pressed a button to close the door of the elevator.

I ran to the elevator but I was too late, it closed just as I reached it.

I slumped down and sat infront of the lift as I feel something warm touched my cheek.

" Why are you crying, Stark?" Steve said, worry is visible in his voice.

I didn't answer him, no, I can't answer him. I know that if I opened my mouth, only sobs that would came out instead.

I felt a hand touched my back " What happened Tony?" It was Bruce.

I shook my head, got up and head to my room. I tried my hardest to keep my voice as calm as I can be, I speak up " You guys have fun , I'll catch up later.." my voice wavered through the sentence.

I went in, closed the door and locked it.

I slumped down with my back against the door, I felt some knocking " You're clearly not okay Tony, Let me in" Bruce said.

I closed my eyes and felt more tears rolling down my cheek " No Bruce, please, I just" I took a breath mid sentence, " I just want to be alone right now" the knocking stopped.

" Don't Bruce... I think we need to give him some space for a while" I heard Natasha said from the other side before I heard some footsteps fading, walking away from the door.

I still kept my eyes shut and drifted off to sleep.

When I woke up, it's already around 10 p.m., I walked out and saw that there's no one around, ' Guess the others told them where the spare rooms are...' I thought.

I walked to the kitchen and took out a bourbon, I slumped down the couch and drank the bourbon.

I took out my phone and decided to text Pepper, I put in her number, or what I had thought was her number and asked her if this was some sort of crazy joke.

After a few minutes, she still haven't answered, I sighed and got up, feeling that I needed some air.

I go out to the balcony and looked at the streets, there's people there but not too crowded, I looked around as I started to feel a little more relaxed.

But warm feeling vanished as soon as I saw Pepper walking in the sidewalk with another man, I felt my heart tinged more and hurry inside.

I don't think I can even look at her without feeling hurt.

I slumped down on the couch again and texted her, asking who's the man before, but she still didn't reply.

I sighed and drink more.

End of Flashback

I stayed up and drank all night, waiting for a reply, but I didnt get any.

It's already 5 a.m. and Spangles and Bruce just walked out of his room.

They saw each other and greeted, Bruce's back was facing me but Capsicle was facing me, that's when he noticed me sitting on the couch with an almost empty bottle of Bourbon.

" Stark?! How long have you been drinking?!" Steve exclaimed as Bruce whipped his head and looked at me.

Bruce walked to me and sat besude me while Capsicle walked and stood behind me, " Tony.. Can you tell me what happened?" Bruce ask , worried.

I sighed and looked at him, I can't keep it for long " Pepper... broke up our engagement" I said as their eyes widen before showing sympathy.

Before anyone can talk, my phone vibrated a bunch of times, I rushed to take my phone and opened it, with the other two leaning to see what was sent to me.
