I work on the costumes alone. I try to avoid Bucky. It hard though he seems to not want to do the same. Steve isn't here today. I heard Bucky say to Mr Tully he was ill. I knew he got in a fight though.

Bucky was currently on stage with the white rabbit and Alice. I hated seeing her with Bucky. He always look uncomfortable. I tried to Ignore this feeling. I continued my work with the costumes.

After about an hour of using a needle I finally finish Bucky's costume. I then realise I have to give it to Bucky. I looked at the ground and bit my lip. I looked back at Bucky. He was still practicing his lines. If I sneak past him I would be able to drop the costume down and leave before he sees me.

I get up to do this. I slowly walk-up behind him. He is mumbling his script. I dropped the costume next to him and begin to walk away. 

"Nick." 

I stop walking and hang my head for a second before turning around to meet his blue eyes, he looks hurt.

"Are you going to tell me why your avoiding me?" he askes crossing his arms.

"I'm not ignoring you." I try to walk away but he grabs my arm. 

"Okay, Nick what's wrong. What happened? did I do something wrong or-"

"No you did nothing." I say cutting him off.

"Then what's wrong?!" He says with a worrying look in his eyes "you can tell me. I promise that I wont judge you.  just please tell me... please."

His last words make me want to tell him. I slightly open my mouth and i want to tell him everything, but something holds me back. the only thing that stops me is Mary who has just grabbed Bucky's arm.

"Bucky boo its out turn on stage right now!" she smile and drags Bucky on to the stage

Bucky looks at me with sorrow and I an tell he doesn't want to be with her. I sigh and turn around too continue my work on other costumes.

I finish sewing buttons into the white rabbit's vest and I set it aside. I give out an exhausted sigh and lean back into a chair. I look around and stare into the window for a moment.

"can we continue this conversation?" I almost flinch when Bucky is behind me.

"There is nothing to talk about." I reply.

"yes there is."  he sits down next to me without taking his eyes off me. "Why are you avoiding me?"

"Alright you may leave now." Mr Tully yells over the noise of the kids and everyone gets up starts to leave.

"Like I said."  I say as I stand up "There is nothing to talk about." I walk out the door I hear Bucky's footsteps following me.

"Nick please." I hear him say as he grabs my arm.

"Bucky please I just want to be alone right now." I say as I feel tears in my eyes. I hold them back.

"Nick please just answer me." He sees the tears forming in my eyes, and he pulls me into a hug.

I didn't know what to think I blushed just stood there in shock. he pulls away and held my arms.

"Just if you want to talk go to Steve's, I'll be over there for the night." He looks at me for the last time before turning to walk away.

A small tear runs down the side of my face. I saw the hurt in his eyes. I turn to go to my house.

For the past 5 hours I thought bout what Bucky had said to me. I eventfully gave in.

I was on my way to Steve's house. the night was very cold and the long sleeved dress that I was wearing was somehow making me colder. I looked around not may people were outside, the only other people were either drunk or homeless. I began to walk faster, i saw a group of drunk men walk out of bar close to me. maybe this was a bad idea, for a girl to be walking around alone in Brooklyn at 10pm, but if I turned back now I would regret it.

"Hey Sweetheart!" a drunk man had noticed me and he shouted at me from behind. "Wait for me, it will be fun!"

I wait faster now. i should have considered earlier that it was too late. the fear make me clench my teeth together. suddenly I feel a hand touch my and I turn around ready to run.

"I told you not to go with out me Doll!" it was Bucky he says this loud enough so the drunk men can hear him. I look over his should there the men had slowed down but they were still moving closer.

"You could of gotten Lost Darling." he says pulling me closer and I try to calm down, but he doesn't make it easy for the fact that our noses are touching.

He starts to pull me away the men have turned the other way, but he was dragging me to Steve's.

We were outside his apartment now.

"Are you okay." Bucky said still not letting me go.

I nod.

"What were you doing?" He asked looking into my eyes.

"i was looking for you." I said with my eyes on the ground.

I looked up at him. He was smiling, he pulled me into a hug again. I slightly smile and hugged him back. He squeezed me tighter.

"Do you want to come inside." He asked

I nodded again

Bucky had offered me his clothes so that I didn't have to sleep in the clothes i was wearing. he brought two pairs in case I came which I did.

the entire night we talked about the play in two days.


We slowly drifted off the sleep one by one. As I closed by eyes I smiled at the thought of Bucky
