How do you move on with nothing left?

Back to school

Hi first off all I just want to apologise for not updating in so long I have literally had writers block for like three weeks 😂 but I'm here now. I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas and a very happy new year.
Lots of love,
Tiger

Peter's P.O.V
It's been almost six months since I said goodbye to Mr. Stark and to be honest I feel like crap. The apartment is nice but it's quiet and you can only watch everything on Netflix so many times. So let's just say that I'm very bored but on the plus side school goes back tomorrow. The school decided to give everyone the rest of last year off and so that means I'm finally in eleventh grade. But I don't know who's going to be back and what's changed which is honestly terrifying. But imma go anyway cause I have nothing better to do and need a distraction. I've always been the kid who really liked school. Weird right? But I honestly do enjoy school, well I did. So much has changed and I really don't know what to expect tomorrow. Going to school without Ned, that'll be weird and who knows if MJ's still around but apart from that I'll be a loner and I've never really been the one to make friends easily.

authors P.O.V

It was 7:55 and Peter was sprinting to school with five minutes until his first class started. 'Am I really going to be late on the first day back?' He asked himself agitated at how slow he was running. He would have swung but there was no way he would have time to change once he got to school. So he ran.
Finally he sprinted through the doors to midtown tech breathing like a maniac with thirty seconds to spare. As he sat down at his desk the bell rang and he finally relaxed. There was a lady with long mousy brown hair and a pink dress standing at the front.
"Hello everybody, my name is Miss Leigh. I'd like to welcome you all to the grade eleven class of 2019, you would usually have Mr. Blake but he is not here anymore due to...obvious circumstances." Everyone looked down at the floor at what the teacher just said and it was at that moment that Peter realised he didn't know a single person in the room. "To start today I'd just like to take a moment to say something; we all lost someone, whether it was a friend or a family member we all need to be there for each other no matter wha-" at that moment the door swung open.
"Sorry I'm late!" Cried MJ.
I felt like tears might spike my eyes I was so happy to see someone I knew. Everyone stared at her, she just quietly apologised again and shuffled to find a seat. She then looked at Peter and smiled so widely she got dimples an do could tell tears were forming in her eyes. She hurriedly sat down next to Peter.
"Thank you for joining us Ms Jones, may I continue?"Miss Leigh asked her but MJ didn't respond she just nodded not being able to take the flush out of her cheeks and the slight smile from her lips.

The bell finally rang and it was time for lunch so now I can finally talk to MJ without being told told off.
I found her sitting at our old table in the cafeteria and sat down beside her and before I knew she was hugging me so tight I struggled to breath. "Oh my god, Peter! I thought I was going to be screwed when I came back to school. But when I saw you on class I just-I couldn't even..." she trailed off and pulled out of the hug and I could see she was about to cry. "MJ when I saw you I was beyond happy too and I couldn't think of what to say and-and I...just...you know-" but before I could finish she burst into tears and I pulled her into a hug. Before I knew It I was crying too. We stayed like this for almost two minutes. Then she pulled away and dried her eyes.
"Do you wanna talk about it?" I asked her lightly.
She didn't reply for a moment then nodded and looked up at me and I only just realised how beautiful she was.
"I was in the kitchen helping my parents cook dinner and then we heard screams and we ran to the porch and saw neighbours disappearing before our eyes. Then I....turned around and-and-a-an." I could see she was going to start crying again so I simply held her hand and nodded for her to keep going.
"And when I turned around....both of them were staring at there hands, in shock as they disappeared and I just stood there frozen then my mum said to me 'your a strong girl MJ, you can fight through this' and then-th-the-" MJ was trying to talk between sobs at this point. I squeezed her hand tighter to comfort her, I knew exactly how she felt and more. "Then they were gone" she hurriedly said and before I knew it, she was in my arms again sobbing so much. I felt so bad for her and all i wanted to do was comfort her (somewhere private and not in the middle of the school cafeteria) and tell her that everything will be alright but nothing will be alright. Not anymore.
We spent the rest of lunch talking about before everything happened. About our causal daytime jobs we had, about the movie nights I had with May, about the last lego set I built with Ned. It was nice and sure there were memories that were brought up that were sad but it was a hell of a lot better than crying and focusing on what happened. But when the lunch bell rang and it was time for class we packed up our stuff and made our way to our next class continuing to talk. I had never had this sort of interaction with anyone but with MJ it was easy and I felt like I could easily be myself around her. I never felt like this with anyone and the butterflies in my stomach whenever she spoke was crazy.
When school was over we out the font together "hey so if both your parents are...gone. Where do you live?" I asked hesitantly
She looked at me with sadness in her eyes "I..uhh....I have been living on...the..uhh streets after I got kicked out of my house cause I could pay for it." She began to cry again and without thinking for a moment I said "come live with me." She looked at me with her 'your joking' face.
"MJ i have a whole apartment to myself and it is way too quiet, so I'd be more than pleased to give you the guest bedroom" I said, shaking slightly. She just stared at me with her mouth wide open like she had something to say but it wasn't coming out. Tears formed in her eyes again and she leaped into my arms hugging me so tight. "Peter, thank you so much...I...I don't know what to say" she stuttered out in the happiest voice in the world. She grinned so wide again and I couldn't help but smile too.
So I nodded away from the school and she followed as I lead the way back to my apartment.
