Chapter 2
Bucky stays still and stares at the mirror with nothing show on his face when the maid adjusts his suit for dinner. "Sir, are you alright?" Asks the maid. Bucky looks at her. "I am fine thank you." Says the Omega. She sighs. "I know a look when a Omega is in misery and being abused. Talk to someone." Says the maid then stays silent when Bucky's mother, Winifred comes in. Bucky smiles at the maid and she nods. Winifred smiles. "It's time for dinner James." Winifred says. "Mom you used to call me Bucky all the time, why did you stop?" Bucky asks and Winifred sighs. "Because we can't lose this Alpha." Winifred says. "Mother you think this Alpha is nice? Are you that blind?" Bucky asks. Winifred looks at the maid. "Leave us we need to talk." Winifred says and the maid leaves the room and closes the door behind her. "Bucky what are you talking about?" Winifred asks.
"Oh now you call me Bucky. Alexander is abusive he hits me, insults me, and nobody notices the cold look in his eyes." Bucky says. Winifred frowns. "Just because you don't want to marry him doesn't mean you can spread lies about him." Winifred says. Bucky stares at her. His own mother think he is lying. Bucky just shakes his head and storms out of the room. Bucky looks at the maid. "How can I tell anyone when even my own mother thinks I'm lying." Bucky says coldly and walks off. The maid looks shocked and looks at Winifred when she walks out of the room. Together they walk into the main fancy dining room where four men were playing on the violins. Bucky looks at all the fancy Alphas, Betas, and Omegas. How can they love this life? To be forced to marry people that you don't love.
Has they ate Bucky stares off into space. Alexander touches Bucky's thigh. Bucky jumps slightly and looks at him. "Are you alright James?" Alexander asks. Bucky stares at him. "I am fine, sorry I kind of zoned out." Bucky says. "Well don't do it again." Alexander grits out and squeezes Bucky's hand tightly making Bucky flinch slightly. Bucky nods and looks down. Bucky stares at his plate of food that Alexander ordered for them and it tasted awful. Bucky breathes out and struggles to hold in his tears. "Excuse me for a minute." Bucky says and stands up. The other Alphas stands for him then sits back down when Bucky leaves the room. A sigh of respect. Bucky breathes in has he walks out into the cold sea air. Bucky watches the water. Tears slide down his cheeks and he wipes them away and walks towards the end of the ship. Bucky cries harder and then rushes. Bucky needs to be alone. Bucky cries has he walks off and wraps his arms around himself when he gets to the end of the ship.
Bucky looks out and looks over. Maybe the only way to get out of this life and to get away from Alexander is to jump off. Buckys mind taunts. Bucky sniffles and climbs over. Maybe his mind is right. Clearly no one sees how miserable he is. Maybe then his mother will see that he wasn't lying. "Don't do it." Says a voice and Bucky looks over. It was Steve, the man that he talked with earlier. "Go away. This is none of your business." Bucky says his voice cracking in the middle of his sentence. Steve looks at him. "But I can't, I am involved now. But don't jump, the thing I would most worry about is that water down there and how cold it is." Steve says. Bucky hesitates. "How cold?" Bucky asks. "Freezing. I would know when I was a kid, me and my father went ice fishing." Steve says. "You know, ice fishing is when-"
"I know what ice fishing is!" Bucky snaps. Steve holds his hands up in surrender. "Sorry. Just seems like you are not the type to be outside a lot." Steve says. "But then I fell through a thin patch of ice and I was skinny back then and it felt like a thousand knives stabbed into you at once and it hurted. I was so cold that I couldn't move, think, or feel anything but the pain. Lets just say that I got very sick after that." Steve says. Bucky sniffles and a tear falls back down his cheek. "Look you won't jump." Steve says. "Don't tell me what I will do and not to do. Your crazy go away!" Bucky says and sniffles again. "Pardon me sir but I'm not the one hanging off the end of a ship." Steve says then takes off his jacket and his boots. "What are you doing?" Bucky asks. "If you jump, I jump and I really am not looking forward to jumping after you." Steve says and shrugs. Bucky stares at him and Steve holds his hand out.
"Please don't jump." Steve says. Bucky sighs and slowly grabs Steve's hand. "That's it." Steve says and smiles. Steve could see that Bucky had taken his jacket off and Steve sees it laying in the corner of his eyes. "Come on lets get you back onto deck." Steve says. Bucky slowly steps up but then slips and Steve catches Bucky's hand in time. Bucky shrieks and stares up at Steve. "Don't let go." Bucky shouts and squeezes his hand. "I won't. Trust me." Steve says. Bucky stares up at him then struggles to get up. Steve uses all of his strength to pull Bucky up and over the railing. They both fall onto the deck and Bucky stares up at Steve and more tears falls out of Bucky's eyes. "Thank you." Bucky whispers. Two guards runs and sees that Steve had his jacket and shoes off and that Bucky's shirt was ripped. "Stand back and don't move!" Shouts a sailor. Steve sighs and gets back onto his knees.
More people runs over. "James!" Exclaims a woman and she rushes over to Bucky. "Oh baby." Say the woman. She must be Bucky's mother. Bucky sniffles and clings onto his mother. Winifred helps Bucky up and another sailor puts a blanket around Bucky's shoulder. Alexander rushes over to the Omega and sees the Alpha being put in handcuffs. Alexander storms over to Steve. "How dare you try to put your hands onto my Omega. My fiancé." Alexander says coldly. "Alex." Bucky says. "And I swear if you try to touch him again I will destroy you." Alexander ignores Bucky. "Alex it was an accident." Bucky says and stands in front of him. "An accident." Alexander scoffs. "Yes I was leaning far over to look at the uh, uh, um." Bucky says trying to get the word. "The propellers?" Suggests Peggy. "Yes the propellers when I slipped and if it weren't for Mr. Rogers here, I would have been overboard. " Bucky says.
"Well then the man is a hero." Says Tony. "Is that true?" Brock asks. Steve stares at Bucky. Bucky stares back at him. "Uh yeah, that sounds about right." Steve says. "Well then get him out of those cuffs. Alexander you should reward him." Says Tony. Alexander looks at Brock. "Give him a twenty." Alexander says. "Alex is that how you treat a man after he saves the Omega you love?" Bucky questions and Winifred looks at Alexander. Alexander reliazes that he was in trouble and walks over to Steve. "Have dinner with us tomorrow evening." Alexander says then puts a arm around Bucky's shoulders and walks off. Bucky turns his head to look back at Steve.
When Alexander and Bucky walks into the room and Alexander closes the door, Alexander slams Bucky into the door. Bucky looks at Alexander scared. "If you dare try that again you will pay. You should have never left dinner." Alexander says. "I-"
Alexander slaps Bucky across his cheek with the back of his hand. Bucky yelps and puts his hand over his pained cheek. "Never talk back to me." Alexander says and slams Bucky into the door again. "Get to bed now." Alexander says and Bucky rushes to the bedroom. Bucky closes the door and walks into the washroom and looks into the mirror. Bucky hisses when he puts a cold cloth against the bruised cheek. Bucky sniffles and walks over to the bed and he lays down and brings the covers over his body. Bucky lays there for about a good twenty minutes then tenses when Alexander walks into the bedroom. Alexander lays down and wraps his arms around Bucky's waist. "Soon you will be all mine and I can do whatever I want to you." Alexander whispers into his ear and a single tear falls down Bucky's cheek. Bucky lays there and waits for Alexander to fall asleep then whispers into the night.
"Somebody help me please."
