《Distraction》It wasn't me!

'I think she's waking up!' You hear Bucky's voice rumble out.

You feel the pounding in your head first as your eyes slowly blink open to the bright light from the contact with daylight surrounding your vision.

'Daisy!' You hear Steve quickly rush to your side.

'Take it easy. I got you. I got you sweetheart' You hear him soothe as you manage to sit upright. His one hand resting on your back and the other taking your hand. Crouched down next to you.

You look up at him and see nothing but fear in his now ghostly pale face.

'Sweetheart?' You croak out as a small smile appears from the cute pet name Steve just called you.

Steve can't help but let out a laugh in relief before kissing your forehead.

Steve stands up and offers his hand. Bucky offers one too. You take them both and the boys pull you up.

'Are you okay?' Officer Webber asks you cautiously.

'Y-yes, sorry, I just, I got a little overwhelmed by...'

'Overwhelmed? Daisy please, you were being dramatic' You hear her voice again. Patronising and bitter.

You close your eyes and take a breath before turning to face her.

'Look at you, you're a mess! There are these things called facials Daisy, I'm not sure if you've heard of them, their pretty new and trendy but by God you need one!'

You feel Steve's grip tighten on your hand for support. Bucky clenches his fists in anger.

You try your best to ignore the remark but you could see her, eyeing up every flaw, mark and blemish. As if you were nothing more than one massive mistake.

You look away and divert your attention back to officer Webber.

'So, what can we do now?' You ask worriedly.

'Well, first we need to find out who tampered with the house, the cleaning and such'

'Well I think it's pretty obvious, don't you? I couldn't have my daughter living in such conditions!'

'You....you cleaned the house?!' You scream. You were completely exhausted and frustrated and you couldn't hold it in any longer.

Your mother frowns 'You should be ashamed to speak to me with such tone. The house was filthy! I can't even begin to imagine the laziness of your father...'

'Will you shut up?!' You hear Bucky speak up. He couldn't hold his temper any longer.

'Excuse me?'

'First you insult Daisy and then her father?!' Bucky was livid

'He WAS useless!'

'He was all Daisy had! Where were you?!' Bucky seethes.

'Buck...' You whimper.

'He's right Daisy!' Steve sighs.

'And who exactly are you? Oh I remember! That scrawny poor kid that lived next door! Can you afford your own clothes now? How pathetic, you haven't changed, and neither have you Daisy. I thought you would have grown into a strong beautiful woman'

Steve's hand detached from yours and he steps forward. You behind him and your mother in front of him.

The silence and tension was deafening, until officer Webber speaks up.

'Ma'am...'

'It's April. You can call me April' You hear your mother sigh.

'Okay, Miss April'

'Mrs. I'm married. Actually, Mrs Underwood will suffice'

Married?! Your mother was married? You and your father were that meaningless that she just up and left to find another man? Did she have other children too? Was she actually around for them?! Your thoughts begin to swirl in your head. Bucky gives you a small nudge to gain your attention. You look up at him a N's he gives you a sad smile. As if he's saying she isn't worth it. Which, she isn't.

'Mrs Underwood' Officer Webber sighs.

'What did you mean by 'he was' When addressing Daisy's father?'

'Pardon?' You hear your mother ask. A small slip in her voice this time. As if she's been taken off guard.

'You said 'he was useless' Referring to past tense'

'Well, yes, I just mean, from back in the day when I knew him...he was...'

'Mrs Underwood I'm going to need you to come with me'

'What? No'

'Are you resisting?' Officer Webber asks more firmly this time.

'Officer I don't understand...'

'Dads dead' You finally speak out.

'And you think I'm responsible?! He was an alcoholic! He probably drank himself to death! Quite fitting really'

'From this moment on, anything you do say form this moment will be used against you in a court of law'

Officer Webber walks over to your mother and handcuffs her.

'This is outrageous! I demand a lawyer!' You hear her shout before wriggling and wincing at the cuffs against her wrists.

'We'll be in touch' Officer Webber sighs before leading your mother out.

You, Steve and Bucky also leave the house and follow them out.

'Daisy! It wasn't me! I didn't know...I was just trying to be your mother! I was just....'

'I needed a mother when I was growing up. I'm grown now' You cry out as the tears fall.

'Come on...' Steve takes your hand and intertwines your fingers.

'You don't need to see this' Bucky acknowledges as you all walk towards Steve's house.
