Spider-Man: Homecoming ft. Reader

(9)Back to School

We pull up to the school that night. Kids have their parents waiting eagerly for them to get off the bus.

I told Liz I had intense food poisoning and couldn't even get out of bed without puking. She bought it I guess. After she saw the ring on my finger I was sure she'd found me out. I guess not.

I pull my hoodie over my head before Peter and I step off the bus together. I watch as all of my classmates hug their mothers and fathers in relief.

"Anyone here to give you a lift?" Peter asks me as he sees me looking around at everyone's parents.

"Happy's probably around the block somewhere." I say quietly.

Then May comes rushing over to the two of us and pulls Peter into a hug.

"You guys alright?" She asks as she wraps her arms around her nephew. Peter closes his eyes in their embrace and I feel him start to be more relaxed.

"We're fine, May." Peter tells her.

"I gotta go. Nice to see you, May." I say. "I'll see you tomorrow." I say to Peter before walking away and heading down to the spot I usually meet Happy.

Walking down the street, it's dark out. My mind starts to wander.

What if Liz did know about me? Would it be so bad? Would she tell everyone? Do I really trust her enough to know everything?

After everything in Germany, we talked it out. Everything seemed fine. She moved on to liking other boys and still wants Peter and I to be a thing. But I just can't fully trust her. I'm worried she could take everything back in a split second and hate me.

This weekend my classmates nearly died. If Peter and I hadn't gotten there in time we would've been planning another funeral. I can't keep doing those. I can't keep saying goodbye.

I want Wanda. I feel so selfish for wanting her here just for me. Sometimes I wish she would have stayed and hidden from the world so at least she would be here with me. I know how badly it would make her miserable but I just want her. I feel like a child who cries when they get dropped off at daycare. I feel selfish. I feel angry that she can't stay.

My train of thought gets interrupted when I spot Happy's car parked next to the sidewalk.

I knock on the car window, signalling to him that I'm here and he unlocks the door. I climb inside and let out a deep breath as I sink into my seat.

"Nice job in D.C." Happy tells me.

"Thanks." I mumble.

I'm tired. Quiet. I miss my sister, my brother... Steve, Nat, Sam, Clint. Even Bucky. I gaze out the window and start to let my sadness take over me.

Happy looks back at me and frowns.

"What's goin' on?" He asks me.

"Nothing." I lie. Quietly.

I think Happy knows I don't want to talk about it, so he stays quiet for the rest of the drive home and lets me go straight to my room without saying anything.

As soon as I close my bedroom door I feel my chest tighten and my eyes water. I start breathing heavily and running my fingers through my hair out of stress as I pace my room.

I let out broken huffs and sobs as I try to stay quiet until finally I fall to my knees. I hold my ribs and hang my head as tears stream down my face.

Wanda is somewhere hiding from the government, as is Steve, Nat, Sam, and Bucky. I have no idea where any of them are. My family is gone, I'm losing people left and right. It's only a matter of time before I lose Peter, too. Maybe it would be better if I control it...
