Chapter 13
Clint who was beside Bucky in chemistry noticed how Bucky froze when Alexander sat down beside him. Clint frowns. "What's wrong Buck?" Clin asks and Bucky slightly relaxes. "I tell you after class." Bucky says and tries to focus on the lesson, but Clint could tell that it was hard to. Clint looks over at Alexander to see him smirking. Clint knew what was going on in a heartbeat. That son of a botch was bullying Bucky. Clint grits hs tedth and stares forward at the chalk borad trying not to cause a scene.
Once the bell rings both Bucky and Clint walks out of that classroom as fast as they could. "I can't believe it! You're being bullied again!" Clint silently fumes. Bucky sighs. "I was going to tell the group right about now, so lets meet up." Bucky says and Clint nods. Once Clint and Bucky reach the group Clint went to Phil. "Hey guys." Clint mutters and everone looks at him. "Guys, you know the new kid right, Alexander Pierce? " Bucky asks. Everybody nods. "Oh I know him, he is so cocky in gym class." Tony mutters. Bucky grins and Steve smiles and kisses Bucky's cheek. "What's up babe?" Steve asks starting to get worried.
Bucky sighs. "Well, somehow he found out about my disability. " Bucky says. "What!" Pepper says. "Can't people just accept Bucky for who he is?" Bruce complians. "Is he bullying you?" Phl asks. Bucky nods and everyone scowls. "I am going to kick his ass." Natasha says and everyone agrees with her. Bucky shrugs. "Nah he is just jealous that I am more unique than everybody else." Bucky jokes and every one in the group laughs. Bucky smiles, misson accomplished. Bucky didn't like it when his only friends are upset, so Bucky had to make them laugh somehow.
But then the mood died down when Alexander comes by. Natasha scowls. "Aww what's wrong, is someones hair messed up." Alexander mocks and Natasha punches him. "No, but I hear that you are bullying my friend, Bucky, again, I will hurt you so much worse." Natasha growls. Every one that was around that saw Natasha punch Alex knew to walk away. Nobody messes with Natasha. Alexander notices everyones expessions and his eyes land on Steve and Bucky. Steve had pulled Bucky behind him. "Must suck to have a boyfriend like that, gotta tell you. If this blind bat is too much of a pussy, call me." Alexander says and gets up and walks away. Natasha went to go after him but Bruce held her back. "He's not worth it love." Bruce says.
Once Bucky heard what Alexander said to Steve made his heart hurt. Steve would never do that would he? Bucky looks away and puts his backpack on one shoulder. Phil noticed Bucky's reaction to what Alex had said and was beside him. "Hey, it is going to be okay." Phil says and Bucky smiles at Phil. "Thanks Phil." Bucky says and Phil nods. William comes by with the car and honks. "Well, their's my ride." Bucky says trying to sound normal, but sounded more like troubled. "Hey, ignore him. I would never do that." Steve says and pulls Bucky into a hug. Bucky sighs and burys his head into Steve's shoulder. "I know." Bucky says softly and pulls away. "See you tomorrow! " Bucky says to the rest of the group. Everyone says there goodbyes to Bucky and Bucky hops into Williams car.
William drives off. "Thanks for the ride home." Bucky says. "Of course, winter is almost here and our parents don't want us to walk to school when it is cold and all." Williams says. "You are right about that." Bucky says and William grins. "When am I wrong?" William asks and Bucky laughs. Both brothers look at each other and burst into laughter together.

Once William and Bucky gets home, George and Winifred were sitting at the table. Both brothers look at each other. This isn't good. "Boys can you please sit down? We need to talk for a minute." Winifred says. Bucky and William sits down slowly and looks at their mother and father. "Is there a problem?" William asks. George sighs. "We got a call from a mother who says that one of your guys friends punched him." George says. Bucky sighs and William grits his teeth. "Which one?" Winifred asks, watching their reactions. Bucky sighs and raises his hand. "It was Natasha, but it was because he was bullying me. Calling me a blind bat and all." Bucky defends.
William smiles and nudges Bucky's shoulder. "I should thank her." William says and Bucky smiles. "You can thank her tomorrow at school." Bucky says. William grins. Both brothers look at their mother and father and frowns at their disappointed look. "What?" Bucky asks. Alarms were going off in his head. "Voilence is not the answer." George says. Bucky scoffs. "And why ars you telling this to me? I didn't punch him." Bucky defends once again. "It's true. Why are you getting Bucky into trouble when he didn't punch him?" William defends for Bucky. Both parents sighs.
"Because, next time it could be you." George says. Bucky puts his hands up. "Promise I won't puch or do anything stupid to another person." Was all Bucky says. Winifred also sighs. "A doctor has said that they have a procedure that could work to help you see colour again." Winifred says and Bucky groans. "It won't work." Bucky says. "Why do you think that?" George says. "Because that is all doctors do! They make promises that are full of lies!" Bucky says and stands up. Winifred sighs. "Don't you walk away! Come back here!" Geoge calls and Bucky turns around. "No!" Bucky says and slams his bedroom door shut.

William sighs. "Mom, give up on the doctors." William says. Winifed looks at her oldest son. "Why?" Winifred asks. "Bscause, haven't you noticed that Bucky had more surgeries than most kids his age. Or how Bucky was disappointed that it didn't work when he was younger? He hs given up and see the truth." William says. George sighs. "William is right, you can't get everything in life. No matter how much you want it." George says and Winifred closes her eyes. "Just why colour? Why does it have to be this family?" Winifred asks on the verge of tears. "I don't know mom, I don't know." William says and hugs his mother. George sighs and hugs his wife after. "We will get through this. All of us. We just have to be there for Bucky." George says and both Winifred and William agees with him.
