Eating alone again... I sit on the fire escape with a bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon on top. The city was dull, with residue from the rain but the look like it would rain again. I eat and just think. I don't mind being alone but if this was what being in a relationship was then it was no different from when I'm by myself... Do I mean that? No... I don't know... I love Peter but he's been gone more and more lately... I guess things are picking up but when will they be like how it was when I first moved in. Before I knew he was Spider-Man, he was here a little more often. I miss that day in the rain, when we went to the park and fell in the river. I was so determined to keep my boundaries and he was trying too hard to break them... "heh..." my eyes start watering. He almost died yesterday, how can he not see that? Or does he see that and just doesn't care because it feels like he doesn't care.
My phone starts ringing and I pull it out to see it's Dani, I pick up, "Hey Dani. Are you ok? New York is kinda on lockdown since last night."
"Yeah I'm good. I heard Spider-Man is taking care of the escapees now... So I'm sure we'll be able to hang out again soon."
"Right."
"You and Peter alright?"
I take a breath, "Yeah, we're good. Just... waiting it out."
"Cool. When this whole thing is over, we should go out to the bar again. We haven't in a while."
"Heh, I know. We should."
We talked for a bit longer but I wasn't really in the mood. At the same time, I didn't want to sulk all day.
I need to cut Peter some slack... Once he takes care of the escapees and sinister six then we can talk. Yeah. Probably.
