Parings: Piper X Wes
-6 Years Later -
The trees seem to move faster as the car drives past each of them. This car ride was quiet, a bit uncomfortable as Bucky slowly peeks in the rearview mirror, Piper hasn’t moved since she got in the car. He was worried about his Little Wolf, the way she sounded on the phone, the way her voice was so quiet, so scared.
“Dad please come get me, I’m packed up just please come,” Bucky recalls her phone call and how he had never moved faster. He called Steve on the way for help, Bucky wasn’t sure what he was going to pull up to he wasn’t sure if he was going to have to beat up a certain boyfriend, well now Ex, he assumes.
Piper keeps her red puffy eyes looking out the window, her tears have dried up, and she has no more left to cry. Shaking her head, she wonders, how could she have let herself fall for this man? How could she have let him do this to her? Wes warned her, Wes begged her to leave him, and she ignored him… She even… Piper lets out a sob, remembering how she hurt Wes, how she chose this stupid boyfriend over her Wes, her best friend in the whole world she lost him.
“Little Wolf are you okay?” Bucky asks quietly
Piper nods wiping her eyes, “I will be dad.” She whispers.
Piper truly hopes she will be, but she fears she won’t be. She let Jason cost her everything, she believed him like a fool because she thought this was love but No, this was not love. Love doesn’t do this, love doesn’t cost you your best friend, love doesn’t make you feel sad and alone all the time. Piper shuts her eyes as tears make their way down, laying her head against the window, clutching her wolfy plushie. She whispers.
“I’m sorry Wes.”
Renee stands outside Piper’s room. It’s been around a month since she came home. Piper doesn’t leave her room very often, she only comes out on occasion to eat and to use the restroom. Renee gently opens the door, peeking inside; finding Piper asleep holding her Wolfy plushie. Renee smiles sadly, unsure of what to do, Renee is worried Piper is fading, Piper hasn’t said much about what happened, only bits and pieces. It worries Renee. Taking a deep breath Renee decides to call Rowan, maybe she could help.
“Ro it’s Re… I need some help. Do you think maybe you could invite Piper over for dinner at your place? I just want her to get out of her room but nothing I do seems to work.”
Rowan is already out the door, the Barnes and Rogers live next door to one another. Renee hears the knock as she hangs up the phone, chuckling as she sees Rowan.
“I’m here, let’s get her out of that bed,” Rowan says, Renee smiles as the two head up to Piper’s room.
Renee gently knocks on the bedroom door.
“Little Wolf, Auntie Ro wanted to ask you something.” Opening the door they find Piper is still huddled under covers…
“Sweetie?” Rowan says softly from the doorway, Piper slowly peeks up from the blankets
Renee and Rowan walk into Piper’s room, Renee feels her heartbreaking seeing her little wolf this way
“There are those pretty brown eyes of yours,” Rowan says chipperly, Piper sniffles as she slowly uncovers herself still clutching Wolfy.
“Sweetie, you’re coming over to dinner tonight with me and Steve,” Rowan says, smiling softly at her.
Piper shakes her head “I don’t think so Auntie maybe another time.”
Rowan shakes her head as she walks over to the bed, gently pulling the covers off. “No is not an option. Come on, Re you grab her legs I’ll get the arms.”
“No, no I’ll go, I just need to shower,” Piper says as Ro smirks.
“Good, your mom and I will be waiting downstairs.” Ro gives her a big hug, as Renee gently kisses her head and reminds her “I love you my Little Wolf so much.” before they go wait downstairs
Piper takes a deep breath, looking at Wolfy, before placing him on her pillow. She eyes her phone, letting out a sigh of relief when she sees there are no more messages from Jason. She blocked him but he kept getting a new number. Maybe he was finally done. She smiles seeing a text from Wyatt.
“Hey! Hope you’re doing well! Have you talked to Wes yet? You really should! I know he’d like to hear from you., You know he still loves you even after everything Piper… Anyway, hang in there, text or call whenever you need. I’m sending you a cute photo of puppies to cheer you up… and Wes is in it too.”
Piper smiles seeing the photo, it makes her happy to see Wes being with animals.
Wes was getting his degree to be a Veterinarian. Piper was so excited when he told her that’s what he wanted to go to college for. Piper had wanted to go back to school and get a degree in it as well, so maybe one day they could run her mom’s clinic together but she let Jason make her think she was foolish for wanting that, that she wasn’t smart enough for it. Sitting on her bed, she runs her fingers over Wolfy, remembering when Wes got him for her.
-Flashback-
Piper was 8 and Wes was 5. They were playing with Piper’s Wolfy, her plush that’s been with her since she was two, it had seen better days, it’s been patched and sewn up to many times to count. Piper was gently playing with Wolfy when all of a sudden, POP! stuffing starts pouring out of him as Piper cries “Wolfy! No!” Piper and Wes hopelessly try putting him back together best they can.
“We fix him Pipe!” Wes tries to reassure her. But Piper wasn’t so sure.
Try as they might, Bucky and Renee had to tell Piper the sad news that Wolfy couldn’t be played with anymore, he’d have to be placed up from now on. Piper cried for her Wolfy, who had always been with her
Meanwhile, little Westley Rogers was on a mission. He wanted to cheer his Pipe up. As they walked through the store Wes eyed the stuffed animals, without saying a word he found the perfect wolf stuffed animal and placed it in the cart.
Ro eyes him and picks up the stuffed animal.
“Wes, baby do you want this? That’s fine but next time ask okay.” Wes with his messy blonde hair shakes his head “No, it’s for my Pipe!” Rowan just melts as she watches how serious her little five-year-old son was
Ro smiles at her son “Okay baby, she’ll love this.” Wes nods with a big toothy grin.
Later that day, Wes ran to find his Pipe with a bag in his hands.
“For my Pipe!” He says, Wes’s beautiful eyes sparkle as Piper opens the bag, her eyes widen as she pulls out a wolf plush her eyes misty.
“New Wolfy Pipe,” Wes yells out excitedly. Piper starts to sniffle a little as she holds the Wolfy plush and pulls Wes into a big hug.
“I’ll love him forever and ever, especially because he came from you, Wes. I love you, Wes.” She kisses his cheeks as she hugs her new Wolfy and hugs her best friend even closer
-End of Flashback-
Piper gently stares at Wolfy she gently brings it up to her lips and kisses its head. She meant it when she said she’d love her Wolfy forever because it came from Wes. Taking a deep breath she headed into the bathroom to take a shower, it was time to maybe start living again.
After her shower, Piper finally feels like a person again. She heads over to the Rogers house. As Ro is finishing up, Piper gets caught up looking at all the photos on the wall. She stops staring at a photo of Wes. She runs her fingers over it.
“I’m sorry, so sorry.” She whispers holding in her emotions.
Ro, having seen her, walks over and slowly wraps her arms around Piper.
“Have you two talked at all since your break up?” Ro asks, Piper shakes her head. Ro frowns. “I never believed the story of you two growing apart. What really happened between you two?.”
Piper starts to break down, tears falling down her face as Ro holds her close.
“Oh, Piper sweetie.. why don’t we send Steve over to go hang out with your dad and have a girl’s night? Get your mom over here and we can just talk. Would that be okay?”
Piper nods “I’d like that,” she says smiling sadly.
One phone call later Renee was over at the Rogers house in a flash, with an overnight bag for Piper and herself.
Renee smiles, handing Piper Wolfy, “Made sure he was packed first.” Piper just snuggles him as the three of them have a peaceful evening, Piper opens up a little about what happened with Jason, that he controlled her, made her believe horrible things about herself, and how she mistook his emotional abuse for love.
“I cut Wes out of my life because of him.” She whispers as Renee and Ro on each side of her rub her back. “I let him take my Wes from me.” She wipes her eyes. “Why was I so weak? You and dad raised me better than this and I just let him do this to me.”
Renee kisses her head holding her close. “No Little Wolf, you weren’t weak he used to love, twisted it. You’re so strong, Piper you got out you left him!”
Rowan nods smiling. “Your mom is exactly right you left, you’re so strong it takes so much courage to leave Pipe.”
Piper nods crying a little as Renee and Ro hold her close.
Holding Wolfy to her chest Piper can’t sleep, she looks over, seeing her mom and Ro fast asleep. taking a breath Piper grabs her phone takes it and wolfy into the bathroom. Taking a photo of Wolfy with shaky hands she texts Wes.
“Even after all these years, I still sleep with him, he keeps me safe.” Piper takes a breath wondering if Wes will respond.
Finally after what feels like forever Piper gets a text back.
“I’m glad he still helps, not gonna lie, I was sure you threw him out… I’m happy you got out Piper, I truly am.“
Piper feels so many emotions seeing Wes text her back. She has missed him so much, that she wishes she’d never cut him out. A year with no Wes was the worst mistake of her life. Taking a deep breath she texts him back.
“I had to hide him but I’d never throw him out. Wes… I’m sorry.. can I… I have no right to ask this but can I hear your voice?”
Not a moment later her phone lights up with a FaceTime call from Wes. Piper takes a deep breath as she’s met with those beautiful eyes and faces she’s missed so much.
“So how’s my Pipe?”
