Him ; Peter Parker

Part 11

We're walking when all the sudden, Peter stops. He finds a piece of the broken weapons used by the sellers. He crouched down to flip it over with his fingertips.

"Whoa." Peter says.

"What is that?" I ask. Peter shrugs. Then his phone rings. It's Ned.

"Hey man, what's up? I'm on my way back." Peter says into the phone.

"Actually, I was calling to say maybe you shouldn't come. Listen to this," Ned says.

"When I say 'penis,' you say 'Parker.' Penis!" Flash says.

Then the crowd says, "Parker!"

"Penis!"

"Parker!"

"Sorry, Peter. I guess we're still losers. I'll see you tomorrow," Ned says.

"I'll see you tomorrow in school," Peter says and hangs up. He puts his phone away and he lifts the weapon. He places it in his backpack and we start walking again.

Time skip

Happy came to pick me back up from the party.
"How was the party?" He asked when I got into the car.

"Good, I guess," I reply. I just stare out the window. Once we get to the tower, I get out and go inside. I see my mom.

"Hey, how was the-" but I cut her off.

"The party was good, I'm just tired. Love you."

"I love you too, Callie." I walk up to my room and sit on my bed. After a few minutes, I lay down. Then my dad comes into my room. I turn around to see him then roll back over.

"Callie, what were you thinking?" He asks. "You could've been hurt doing what you did. Or worse, someone could've spotted you using your powers."

"Dad, but I didn't get hurt!"

"I know you didn't. But really? You still could have."

"That's not the point Dad! The point is that I'm okay. And Peter is too." A tear falls down my cheek and I quickly wipe it. "And if you really did care, you would've been there."

"Okay, Callie. That's enough. You knew I was taking that trip and you knew that I expected you not to do something stupid."

"That was not stupid, Dad! And what made this whole worse...is that you shot Peter down."

"What are you talking about?"

"When you said, 'If Cap wanted to lay you out, he would've,' that killed Peter inside. He looks up to you and you to shoot him down like that doesn't help."

"Look, Callie. I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry I had work and I couldn't fly over half the world to save your ass."

"Are you sure that's counted as saving me?" My dad rolls his eyes and I roll back over. He leaves my room and slams my door. I jump when he does. Then I start crying. Next thing I know, I'm sleeping in a puddle of my tears.

I wake up and my pillow is all wet. My head hurts and my eyes do too. I get up and go to the bathroom. I see that my eyes are red and puffy. I put some medicine on them. I didn't want to go to school today. I didn't want to leave my room but I had too. I quickly got dressed and grabbed an apple.
