I Would Do It For You Too...

chapter 13- Whatever The Cost Part 2

🍕Peters pov🍕

Venoms punches and kicks came from all sorts of angles. I tried to block as much as i could but i took a few hits to the stomach and face.

I glanced over at Bailey and noticed she started to stir. Not exactly the time to wake up.

I saw Harry noticed this as well and tried to go for her. This gave me the strength the beat down Venom few, run for Bailey and sprint out of there.

As i was running out and through the corridors, I heard loud stomps and growls coming from behind me. My ankle was in pain but i powered through and ran out of the doors of Oscorp and into a nearby cab.

"Take me to 20 Ingram Street" i told the driver in a hurried voice and he instantly started driving towards my address.

As soon as we made it there i got out of the car, paid the driver and put Baileys arm arm around my shoulder. She was now fully awake and aware of her surroundings.

"Peter?" she said as i set her down on my bed, her eyes half closed looking at me.

"Hey, hey you're fine now. You're okay" i told her with a small smile.

"What happened?" she asked as she exhaled.

"Harry tried to take my blood. But dont worry he didnt. We escaped" i told her. I was leaning on my knees next to her bed as she layed there, i leaned my forehead against hers as ours eyes stayed on each other.

"But he will find us and he'll take me again. I dont want him to take me again" she said as a worried look rest upon her face. I told her to breath in and out, she started to calm down.

"Don't worry, you're safe. I'll protect you, at whatever cost" i tell her as her eyes started to droop and she started to fall asleep.

She looked so peaceful. I missed that. Now that Venoms gone, she can be okay again. She'll be okay. I know she will. She's strong.

I change out of my suit and take one last look at her before closing my bedroom door behind me. Knowing she needs the rest.

As i turned around, Aunt May was behind me, scaring the life out of me.

"Woah!- hey aunt may! What- what are you doing?" i asked her, scratching the back of my neck.

"Is tha Bailey? Because if it is she needs to go home. Her aunt is worried sick about her"

"Yeah, yeah i know she just- she just needs some rest" i told her.

"Some rest? Rest from what? What have you?- have you be doin-"

"Woah! No! No! No! No way! No we haven't! Are you serious May?" i ask her, chuckling slightly.

"Well, i just had to know. Incase- you know. Anyway, i know you said she needs her rest but she's gotta go home. I need to talk to you" was all she said before making her way downstairs. I pondered her words for a minute before walking into my room to see my window open and Bailey gone.

Somehow, i dont know how, but somehow she must have gone down the pipe on the side of my buiding, like she used to and made her own way home. It's the only thing that made sense.

"Aunt May?!" i shouted. A couple of minutes later she walked into my bedroom with her eyes down.

"What did you need to talk about?" i asked her.

Hey hand wandered up and pointed towards the huge map i made with lines of tape all over it.

"When did you do this?" she asked with a shaky voice.

I clicked my tounge and stared at the wall she was pointing at.

"There's something your not telling me, Aunt May" i said i turned around to face her again, "everytime i mention my parents, your eyes go down. I know you're not telling me something. You lie to me. I know you love me. But you do" i walked towards her , grabbed her arms so she was looking at me and crouched down, "you have to tell me, May. That's my father"

"Yes, he was your father. But that didnt seem to stop him from leaving you... here" she told me, the sound of defeat at the end of her sentence as she sighed.

"I need the truth" i tell her as my eyes burn and glaze over.

"The truth is, your parents left you here, on our doorstep. And you were this little boy whose whole world was turned upside down with no explanation. Your Uncle Ben and i did the best we could. I mean, who else was gonna take care of you and protect you and worry about you? Your father? No. I was the one who wiped your nose and made you brush your teeth and clean your dirty underwear and do you homework. Me! Your stupid non-scientific Aunt, who doesnt know how to make ends meet, who has to take nursing classes with 22 year-old kids so i can pay for you to go to college. And i dont know how to do this without Ben" she tells me and her hands meet her face, her voice shaking.

"I dont know how" she continued. I was now standing up, looking down at her.

"And- and your dreaming about your perfect father who was never here. No. No i wont tell you. You're my boy. As far as im concerned, you're my boy. And i wont hurt you" she finishes as her shoulders start shaking and tears start falling.

"You're my everything" i tell her as i start to cry too. "You're enough. You're more than enough. That's not what this is about. Don't get that twisted. I love you so much" i say with a sniffle.

"I know" she whispers.

I pull our foreheads together and we stay like that for a few seconds before i pull away.

"May... i need to know" i tell her. She starts nodding.

"Alright" she whispers and i start to smile as i finally got through to her.

"I'll tell you everything that i know..."

🍕Baileys pov🍕

"Aunt Liz?!" i shouted as i stumbled through the door.

"Bailey?!" i heard my aunt shout from the kitchen followed my hurried footsteps.

She came into view and halted. Taking in my tired appearance along with the dried up blood on the side of my head.

"Bailey... oh my god..." she whispered as she ran over to me and embraced me.

"Hey Aunt Liz" i said with a sigh.

"Where have you been?" she asked me as she put both of her hands on the sides of my head, her eyes glazing over.

"I've been around" i tell her, not wanting to reveal too much. She caught onto this and understood my lack of information.

"Come on, lets get you cleaned up. I can make you your favourite, spaghetti and meatballs" she tells me as she puts her arm around me and guides me to the kitchen.

And thats what we did. We had dinner and we laughed together. Just like old times. I felt happy. A feeling i havent felt in a while.

We finished the night infront of the tv, watching my favourite show and laughing together.

This was just what i needed. A night off from all the chaos that keeps happening to me.

I mean, why me? Of all people... why me? I asked myself. I let my mind ponder on the question before falling asleep. Not having any a nightmare disturb my sleep for the first time in weeks.
