Lyra felt insanely pissed off as she switched her phone on to see the time for the 5th time that night, Peter hadn't arrived yet and time was ticking by. She waited with her mum and the Stacy's for him to show up, they hadn't even ordered any food yet. Yet after some time, Peter still hadn't arrived, they finally and gave up and decided to order. Gwen would be right next to Lyra the entire time, keeping a firm hand on the girl's shoulder to smooth her. Lyra was immensely grateful for this since if Gwen hadn't, she would probably have flipped a table by now. Not literally, but that's how frustrated she was.
Lyra ordered some food that she thought Peter would like, saving even some of hers for him, but it seemed to be getting later and the food wouldn't stay warm for very much longer. He was already late to the graduation and didn't even show up at her brothers funeral, at this point, Lyra thought about not taking his words too seriously anymore.
But then again, she couldn't blame him. He was New York's famous Spiderman, one that would be out every day and every night fighting crime, whether it be even the smallest thing, he would be there. Lyra would even gush and say she was proud of him, yet this time, she couldn't be more annoyed.
It seemed as if Peter had no time for her anymore. No time for anyone anymore. After that night at Oscorp, Peter seemed to make sure he was helping absolutely everyone in everything. Spider-Man would be seen 24/7, Lyra had deemed she had seen him as Spider-Man more than Peter Parker, which slightly worried her.
Lyra loved Peter, so much it was unhealthy. But since that night occurred, Peter felt as if he almost lost Queens, as if he betrayed it or something and deemed it was only fair he never let another thing happen to the city. It was almost depressing, to see Peter wake up with bruised patches and cut skin, be he always just shrugged it off with an 'I can't let the city down again'.
Lyra kept glancing out the window, twirling her noodles on her fork as she muttered to Gwen. Gwen seemed to be trying to pull Lyra into every conversation, which Lyra was grateful for, yet she admittedly wasn't paying attention at all. On a normal day, Lyra would talk forever on a subject, even switching it to some irrelevant topic when deemed necessary, but today was not one of those days.
Staring intensely at the clock, Lyra examined as the hands clicked and move as every second passed. As each minute flew by, Lyra couldn't help but let out a small sigh. Almost concluding that Peter wasn't coming, Lyra felt a nudge at her shoulders and sure Gwen gesturing to the window. Quickly lifting her hair, Lyra locked eyes with Peter, and she could almost sense the guilt he tried so hard to keep in. Julia had seen the encounter and couldn't help but shake her head, she saw the look in Peter's eyes, and it was as if she knew what was about to happen. But she couldn't interfere, Julia only nodded when Lyra pointed to Peter outside the window before letting her daughter rush outside in the cold air.
