Something like love | Peter Parker

We finally got to the store

"What are you going to get?"

"Gummy worms 100% you?" I responded

"I don't know maybe gummy bears"

"Ok copycat" I say mockingly

We pay then leave the store, we started walking.

"Hey Lily why don't we go to my place?"

"Sure sounds fun! What do you want to do?"

"Oh we should watch the old Star Wars movies!" He said getting excited

God he looks cute when he's excited.

"Sounds great! I can't wait Peter."

When we got to his building he grabbed some keys from his back pocket and unlocked the door. His apartment was what looked like the size of my living room, he called out to the seemingly empty apartment

"Hey May! I brought one of my friends over to hang out for a bit!"

"Who's May?" I ask

"Oh Mays my aunt"

"Oh cool"

"So which one should we start with?" He switched the subject fast so I knew it was a sensitive one that probably shouldn't be brought up.

"Uhm you choose"

"Okay!"

After 4 movies I decided it was time to go home

"Do you want me to walk you home Lily?"

"No, no I'll be fine I got an Uber"

"Oh alright, be safe bye!"

"Later Parker" I said as I let out a smile and left the small apartment. I ran out of the building and straight into the front seat next to Happy.

"Thanks for picking me up Hap"

"Anything for you Adeline"

"Dad made you come didn't he"

"You know him so well"

"He is my dad"

*Later back at the compound*

Welcome home Miss Stark

"Thanks F.R.I.D.A.Y"

"Hey dad"

"And where have you been?"

"With Parker"

"No not cool Adeline"

"Literally what- you assigned him to me"

"Yeah well no more you too have gotten too close you have to break up"

"We were never together dad!"

"Too bad you can't see him anymore."

"God! I hate you!"

"Love you too kid"

Right then I hated my dad. It wasn't fair. He was the one that made me go to Midtown Tec. He was the one that made me hang out with Peter. I needed to get out of that damn house. I needed to see Peter. I needed to sneak out.

"Dad I'm going to sleep please don't come in I don't want you to wake me"

"Ok kid, night"

Ok it's now or never. I opened my window and looked down. Jeez. If only I was Spiderman. There's no way I'd survive that kind of fall.
"F.R.I.D.A.Y I need you to distract dad, can you do that for me?"

Of course Miss Stark

Great.

He is now I'm the basement working on Mark 46
I'd make my escape now if I were you.

I ran out the door. Hopefully dad didn't notice. I ran all the way to Peters apartment. I ran upstairs and knocked on his door. His aunt wasn't back yet. He invited me inside, we sat down on the couch and he asked me what was wrong but I couldn't tell him. If I did he would know that I was living underneath a fake identity. I just told him that I had a silly fight with my dad and I couldn't really remember what it was even about. He let me stay the night. He's such a sweet guy, I don't deserve him.

I still feel sick about lying to him.

After I stayed the night at Peters, I woke up to the smell of something burning I jerked my head up and looked down to find Peter had tucked me in with two blankets. A small smile creeped across my face before I remembered the burning smell. I ran to the kitchen to find a somewhat young woman with long brown hair, like Peters, and glasses. She turned around and said

"Well good morning! You must be Lily! Peter told me you had a fight with your dad so you stayed the night. I hope the couch wasn't to harsh on you back"

"No, the couch was just fine thanks, and thank you for letting me stay the night I realize I might've imposed"

"Oh no kiddo you didn't impose, stay as long as you'd like. Would you like some pancakes?"

She said tilting the pan just enough so I could see the burned batter inside. I didn't want to be rude, I would have honestly eaten them but before I could get a chance to accept she tilted it back and placed it off the element and turned off the stove.

"Maybe not, I've never been good at cooking, I'll grab something and bring it back here"

"That's ok May" a familiar voice assured. Peter!

"We can grab something at Delmar's" Man what is it with this kid and Delmar's? It's just a stupid sandwich shop.

"Alright." May responded "I've got to get to work anyhow." she went to kiss Peter on the cheek but stopped herself, looked over at me and awkwardly smiled. "You can stay as long as you need okay?"

"Okay. Thanks"

"Of course hon" She grabbed her big brown purse and swung it around her shoulder, grabbed a pair of keys from a hook on the wall and left.

I glanced over at Peter.

"Are you almost ready to go for school? You can borrow one of my sweaters if you'd like"

"Yeah just about. I'll be fine don't worry about me Peter"

"How could I not worry about you?" he smiled at me and walked back into his room for a moment before coming back out with a sweater in his hand. "Here. Just in case"

"Thanks" I grabbed it from his hands and put it on. It was a little big on me but it was comfortable.

He picked up his bag from the front door and turned to me. "Do you want to go by your house to pick up your bag?"

"No, its fine. Everything I need is in my locker"

"Okay" He held the door open for me and I walked through.

A small smile found its way onto my expression. Omg. Peter Parker worries about me? Dose this mean he likes me? Probably not. I need to stop over reacting. God, I hope he does like me.
