Chapter 11
Steve had to go home that night and Bucky felt lonely in his grey and white bedroom. Bucky kind of just want to give up on everything. Bucky had to go through so much bullying that he has no strength left in him. Bucky tries and he won't go down without a fight, but that fight is slowly leaving his bones where they feel hollow and his entire body feels empty and is nothing but a weight. Bucky has no idea how to survive this one. Bucky slowly gets up and heads to the bathroom. Once Bucky closed the bathroom door, Bucky grabs his bottle of pills.
Bucky had to take these pills in order to make sure his depression is in control and doesn't drag Bucky down into a sprial that Bucky might never get out. Bucky swallows down 2 pills and stares at the mirror. What colour was his eyes again, other than a light grey? What about his hair? Other than black of course. His mother said tjat his hair was a soft light brown, but somehow Bucky was having a hard time believeing it. Bucky knew his mother would never lie to him, but still, it was a possibility. Bucky sighs and looks away from the mirror. Bucky couldn't stand looking at himself in the mirror for much longer.
Bucky slowly walks back to his bedroom. Bucky sighs once again when he flops onto his bed again. This was a one hell of a year. Bucky had made real friends for once, but in the end still made horrible bullies. Bucky knew that bullies are always going to be in everybody's life. But Bucky wanted to know if it was possible to have this many bullies in everyones lives. But he knew that because he can't see colour, he would be more rejected in this world. Bucky sighs. He hates this, why him, he would never know.

Bucky was eating breakfast with William when the door bell rings. Both brothers look at each other, a little afraid of who it was. "I'll get it." William says and stands up. Bucky was waiting anxiously for William to come back. William smiles. "Guess who is here?" William sing songs and Steve enters the kitchen. Bucky smiles. "Hey Steve." Bucky says. Steve kisses Bucky on the forehead. "Hey Bucky." Steve says. Winifred comes in and smiles. "Steve, how nice to meet you." Winifred exclaims. Steve smiles. "It is good to see you too." Steve says. Bucky grins. "Hey mom, when are we allowdd to go to school again, we are probably worrying our other friends." Bucky says. Winifred smiles sadly.
"Well, your father and I are going to talk to your principal about this, then when we have this problem all figured out, you can go back. Steve, you should be safe." Winifred says. Steve nods. Steve looks at Bucky. "Oh, I almost forgot, my mom and dad wants to meet you." Steve says. Bucky looks at Steve in surprise. "Really? They want to meet me?" Bucky says feeling nervous. Steve nods. Winifred claps her hands. "This is great! You should go tonight sweetie!" Winifred gushes and George laughs. "It might be good for you." Bucky's father says. Bucky looks down. "I never meet any body's parents before." Bucky mumbles.
Winifred and George smiles sadly. "Well, a first for everything. " Bucky says and smiles at Steve's adorable grin. "Great! I can't wait. " Steve says like a excited puppy and everyone laughs.

Mr. Winters, the school's principal, sighs when the Barnes family and the Rumlow's along with their son Brock entered the office. Winters smiled. "Alright, I heard that there was a bullying happening here, so I want to hear from both sides of the family story. Mr. Barnes, please go first." Mr. Winters says. George straightens in his seat. "Well, from what you know my son has a disability and can't see colours. James can only see white, black, and grey." George says. "Of course." Mr. Winters says. George continues on.
"Yes and that Mr. Rumlow's son here has went to extremes to hurt and threatened my son." George says. Mr. Winters sits up in surprised. "When was this, why has nobody told me this! Nobody in this school harms and threatens another student at this school!" Mr. Winters say with his temper rising. George speaks up. "This happened a couple of days ago and what Brock has said was that in order for my son's boyfriend not to be harmed that James, my son, had to have sex with him!" George says raising his voice at the end. George couldn't help it. His baby boy was threatened in the worst possible way and nobody was going to treat his son like that.
Mr. Winters looked at Mr and Mrs. Rumlow. "Is this true?" Mr. Winters ask. Mr. Rumlow sits up. "I have had a long talk with my son and has it turns out. It is true and I am very sorry, that this has happened to your son." Jacob says close to tears. "It is alright." George says. Mr. Winters has made his decision. "Now that I know what exactly happened, Brock Rumlow you are expelled from this school, and you don't come back until next year." Mr. Winters say and Brock's parents nods.

Bucky was nervous. Bucky had William help him pick out a outfit and Bucky was now standing in front of Steve's door debating if he should run or not. Bucky sighs and rings the door bell so Bucky had no choice but to stay. Steve opened the door and smiles. "Hey, I thought you weren't coming for a second." Steve says and Bucky laughs nervously while rubbing the back of his neck with his hand and smiles sheepishly. "Only for a second?" Bucky asks rasing a eyebrow. Steve blushes. "Well, for like an hour." Steve says and Bucky giggles softly.
"Is it him?" A woman's voice asks. Steve lets Bucky walk in and closes the door. "Yeah mom! It's him!" Steve calls back. A woman comes in and smiles when she sees Bucky. "Hello, my name is Sarah, you must be Bucky Barnes." She says and Bucky shakes her hand. "Hi, it's nice to meet you." Bucky says. Sarah smiles. "I like you already." Sarah says and Steve's father comes in. "Hello, Joseph Rogers, nice to finally me you. Steve has said a lot about you." He says and Bucky looks at Steve. "Hopefully good things?" Bucky squeaks. Joesph laughs and nods.
*1 hour later*
The four of them were sitting around the table eating. "So Bucky, tell me about yourself?" Joesph asks. Bucky swallows his food and clears his throat. "Well, I don't know if Steve told you that I can't see colour and can see only black, grey, and white." Bucky says and Sarah puts her fork down. "Steve told me that you couldn't see colour, but he didn't tell me that you could see only black, grey and white." Sarah says. Steve blushes and Bucky grins. "It's okay, I understand." Bucky says. "It must be rough for you." Joesph says. "Yes sir, this is my 8th transfer to school and my 10th move." Bucky says. Sarah shakes her head.
"It's awful how so many people can mmistreat you." Sarah says and Bucky nods in agreement. Bucky liked Steve's family. They were nice and didn't judge him. Bucky liked that a lot. Right at the moment Bucky was feeling at peace and it was a very long time since Bucky felt this way. Bucky believes once again, that maybe this is where he belongs. Maybe Bucky has finally found his place in this cruel world. Not to mention finding someone who loves him and treats his like a normal perso ad not like Bucky was going to break like glass.
