Finally Found

Dairy Queen And Flashbacks

Y/N POV

It was getting worse. You didn't go to school that day, even though you knew Peter was there. You were training with Natasha every morning, working out and sparring with her. It was hard, but your determination overrun your exhaustion and pain. You had totally forgotten about your english project until MJ called you about it.

"Hey there, I was wondering if you wanted to come over and we could get ice cream or something? You know, for the project."

"Uh, sure. It'll be nice to get out. Should I come right now?"

"If you want to, sure."

"Cool. See ya in 5 minutes." I stood up and grabbed a white hoodie, putting it on (though struggling for a while) and headed out of my room.

"Hey Mr. Stark?" no reply.

"FRIDAY?" you called out.

"Yes?" the robotic voice answered.

"If Tony asks where I am, can you tell him I'm going to MJ's house for that project? I'll be back in a few hours,"

"Of course, miss y/n."

"Thanks FRIDAY!" you called out and shut the door behind you.

You kicked your bike stand up and got on, remembering the last time you were with MJ.

"Y/n l/n to the office please, y/n l/n to the office."

You ignored the stares as you got up from your noisy seat, letting out a screech as you pushed it back. Cringing internally, you took a deep breath and headed out of social studies class. You hadn't done anything bad, right? At least you couldn't think of anything. You hesitantly pushed the office doors open, looking around as you approached the desk. Principal Morita sat in a swivel chair and looked at you sympathetically. She pursed her lips and sighed.

"Mrs. Morita?" you asked.

"Y/n, I'm so sorry to inform you, but your mother and sister have been in a car accident."

No. This couldn't happen. Your mom and sister were all you had left, you couldn't lose them.

"Are they ok?"

She paused, looking down then back up at you.

"No. Your mother has passed away, and your sister Taylor is missing, but the police are looking for the people who did this. They think that the people who got in an accident saw the mom was killed, and your sister might have ran away. You'll be taken to a temporary caretaker for now. I'm so sorry."

Your mom had taken your sister to get her a new bike. She wanted it to be a surprise, and invited you, but you chose to go to school instead, as the bike shop was a few hours away. You should've been there, you should've been with them in the accident. Tears clouded your eyes, blocking your vision as you ran out the office and into the restroom. You plastered yourself up against the wall and slowly slid down the wall and curled up in a ball on the floor. With your head in your hands, you silently sobbed, with your palms pushed into your eyes so hard they started hurt. To your horror, the door slowly creaked open.

MJ.

She stared at you with sad eyes for what seemed like an eternity before walking up to you and crouching to your level.

"Y/n?"

You looked up at her slightly and sniffed.

"What happened?"

You choked out a sob, "My mom-and-and sister, they-and accident...they're gone..."

MJ took a sharp breath and turned to sit back against the wall next to you. She knew you didn't want pity, she knew exactly how to comfort you-it was a nice change. You dried your eyes with your sleeve and rested your head on your shoulder, her following suite.

It was better this way.

You finally made it to her house and knocked on the door, only for it to be opened moments later. MJ smiled and gestured for you to come in. You followed her to her room and fidgeted with your fingers as you sat down on her floor.

"So, you been up to much?" she asked, plopping down and grabbing her sketch

"Uhm, not really,"

"What about...with Peter?" she teased.

"How- did he tell you?"

"Well, first of all, it was so obvious you two liked each other even before you started dating. Second of all, yes, yes he told me. And to a lesser extent Ned, also, but I thought that was a given."

"Well, I haven't seen him for a few days...so not much has happened,"

"What the heck girl?! He's your boyfriend! Once we're finished with our first memory, you need to go out with him pronto. He's probably desperate right now,"

You chuckled lightly and looked at your hands in your lap, trying not to stare at how amazing MJ's hair looked with the golden light of the morning shining down through her window behind her.

"So, wanna go get some ice cream from Dairy Queen?"

"Sure," you laughed, groaning as you got up. You two walked to the fast food restaurant in mostly silence, and she pushed the door open for you.

"M'lady," she bowed to you jokingly.

"Thank you good sir," you bowed back and cracked up along with MJ. You walked inside and ordered your milkshakes, sitting down in a booth. You rested your chin on your hands and looked down at the table.

"Soooo," MJ started, "got any crazy stories?"

You laughed at the memories, "Man, so many," MJ raised a brow.

"When I was a kid, my dad ran over my foot with a car by accident." She snorted and you rolled your eyes.

"I went to Montana on vacation and sled into a rock and broke my ankle. I had to lay in a trunk for an hour while my grandpa drove at like 100 miles per hour, not even kidding." You both laughed for a little bit.

"How about you?"

"Eh...my life isn't super interesting." she smiled coyly.

"Oook then, maybe-"

"Hello there," the waiter said, handing us our milkshakes.

"Thank you," MJ and I said unanimously as we took our shakes.

I sipped on my straw, "so, anything happen at school while I was gone?"

"Well, besides Flash being a total asshole and Peter and Ned being anxious nerds, nothing too new."

I began to nod, but she opened her eyes wide, "Oh! Peter passed out in school yesterday!"

"Is he ok?!"

"I mean, he's not hurt, but I don't exactly know why he passed out. This blondie named Gwen just picked him up like a baby no problem and took him to the nurse-I mean, that girl's got serious gains."

You furrowed your brow, and MJ noticed, "She's no threat. Peter's head over heels for you, and no blondie he just met can change that."

"I sure hope so."

A/N-heyo! this is the first 'kinda liking mj' chapter!! the fluff will get fluffier and the angst might get angstier, but we'll get to that later! Funny story, both of those events about y/ns life were true about me lol

LOVE YOU BYEEEE
