The Tragedy of Mary Jane Stark

Way Back Then

15 year old Peter was laying on his bed not able to fall asleep. The storm was too loud. Mr Stark brought him back from Germany mouths ago. He had just asked Liz to go to home coming with him. The Vulture was still at large. He hadn't told dearest friend Mary Jane that her father took away his suit.

He knew Mary Jane absolutely hated loud noises. He was very concerned for his friend, yes his friend. Mary Jane was his friend, he liked Liz.

He stayed awake a little longer, contemplating just that. He liked Liz he thought she was very pretty. But Mj, Mj was different. He loved her, she was his best friend but did he want something more? Did he want to hold her? Kiss her? Call her his? Yes he did but he couldn't risk it. To ruin their perfect friendship if she didn't feel the same? To ruin his chance to help out the Avengers? He just couldn't risk it.

The storm blew harder against his window- he was glad he was not swinging in that. He tossed and turned for hours when he heard a faint knock on his window. He ignored it at first, thinking it was just rain. But something was on his fire escape, he could sense it.
He opened the window with his Spider-Man mask on, concerned the Vulture had found him.

"Mj?" Peter said ripping off the mask, witnessing Mj standing in his fire escape. Soaking wet.

"Hey Peter.  Sorry I came to your window I didn't want to wake May." Mj said. Makeup was running down her face.

"Get in! I- what are you doing here." He said pulling her in.

"Dad and I were having a fight and I ran away. Your apartment was closest." Mj said standing in the middle of his room shivering and wiping her eyes.

"Uh okay here." He threw some dry cloths at her.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to intrude but I couldn't be with dad." Mj said silently shivering.

"Go get changed so you don't freeze." Peter said sympathetically.

"O-okay thank you Peter." She said walking to his bathroom.

Hey Mr Stark!! Uh idk if your looking for Mj but she's at my house. So there's no need to worry she's fine. - Peter

Tony Stark😳- thanks kid. I think she's mad at me I'll just leave you to deal with her then

Peter sighed. Grateful that Mr Stark wasn't going to come get her. A part of him was very happy Mj appeared outside his window. Another part of him was sad for her, what did her and her father argue about.

"I just put my wet cloths in this towel." Mj said coming back in to his room.

Peter blushed seeing her in his cloths. He blinked and grabbed the wet cloths from her, hiding his phone so she didn't see he texted her dad.

"Are you okay?" Peter said quietly.

"Yeah. Dad and I were at a diner and we got into a fight." Mj said awkwardly.

"Here you can sit down. You were at a diner at 2 am?" Peter asked patting the bed beside him. She sat down.

"Yeah, that's the only time dad will go out in public places with me. So no body knows we have any relation. For my 'protection'" She said the last word sarcastically. "I'm sorry I really didn't mean to barge in."

"No your fine! I was just thinking about calling you anyway." Peter said. He watched her wince as the thunder grew louder.
