Trigger Warning: Character who attempts suicide.

Me and Josh were on a Ferry. We were just taking a trip. I promised my dad we'd be back before the sun sets.

"I met my sister's adoptive family. Her grandmother is so sweet and I think her brother likes me", I said.

"Do you like him?" Josh asked.

"You know I still have a boyfriend", I said.

"Who hasn't even stopped by to say hi. Try calling him", Josh said. I rolled my eyes. I know he was expecting me not to do it so I pulled out my phone and called him. I hung up when I heard a thud coming from the bottom of the ship. Everyone was alert.

"What the hell was that?" Josh asked.

The thudding continued. Multiple thuds were heard as if a Jumanji board game was close by.

Thud thud thud thud thud thud thud Thud thud thud thud thud thud thud

Finally, it stopped and there was silence.

Water sprays out of the floor. The two halfs of the ship split apart. People screamed in panic.

A woman dangled off the edge of the ship, hanging for dear life. Me and Josh grabbed her arm.

"Hang on!" I shouted.

Another hand grabbed her. I was so busy on saving this women's life, I didn't see who was helping me and Josh save the women's life.

The three of us pulled the women to safety. I looked at the person who saved the woman. I felt like my whole body had froze. For a moment, I thought I had stopped breathing.

"Spiderman?" I asked. Or Peter.

Peter doesn't say anything. Suddenly, the ground below me crumbled. I screamed as I fell to my death. A spiderweb sticks to my wrist.

"Hang on! I got you!" Peter shouted. He pulled me up. As he pulled me up, I breathing and my heartbeat increased. No. No, not again.

"Leya!" Josh shouted.

"It's happening again", I said as Peter grabbed me and pulled me up.

"What is?" Josh asked.

"My...my panic attack", I said.

I saw my dad arrive. Something flies towards the ship and stuck to the side. It pulls the ship together.

A hand grabbed Josh and threw him off the boat, but I didn't see who it was. "Josh!" I shouted.

Peter jumped off the boat to grab him. Tony landed next to me. "Leya, are you alright?" Tony asked.

"It's back, Dad. My panic attack", I said. Tony held me in his arms. "Shh, it's okay, Leya. Just breathe. Breathe, Leya".

I slowly calmed down. When I finally did, I remembered Peter and Josh. "Peter. Josh. They're not back yet", I said.

On cue, Peter came onto the ship, carrying Josh. He laid Josh next to me. I quickly did CPR. I pressed on his chest.

"Leya", Peter said.

"I'm not giving up on him", I said as I continued to press on his chest. "Come on, Josh!" I said desperately.

"Leya", Tony said. I looked to my dad. "His neck is shattered...he's gone.

"No", I said. I cried in Josh's chest. I screamed in agony as I cried. "Don't leave me, Josh. No".

A few hours later, I teleported into the kitchen in Avengers tower. I grabbed a knife off the counter. Suddenly Pietro was next to me and he grabbed my arm.

"What are you doing?" Pietro asked.

"Pietro, let go of me", I said.

"I won't let you harm yourself, Leya. Are you out of your mind?" Pietro asked.

"My friend just died so maybe I am!" I shouted.

"Leya", Steve said. He, my fathers and Bucky stood by the doorway. "We have to save as many people as we can. I know it's sad, but we can't always save everyone.

"WE SHOULD HAVE SAVED HIM! I SHOULD'VE SAVED HIM! NOW BOTH OF MY FRIENDS ARE DEAD AND I CAN'T HELP BUT FEEL LIKE THAT'S MY FAULT! WE'RE IN THIS BECAUSE OF ME! JACQUELINE IS BECAUSE OF ME! I'M A WALKING CURSE!" I shouted as tears fell down my face. The point of the knife was close to my heart.

"Leya".

I turned around to face Peter. He wasn't wearing his suit, but he was wearing his normal school clothes and a black leather jacket.

"It wasn't your fault. I should've gotten there in time. Even after you lost someone, you still have these people. They're your family. They love you. Your life isn't over. There are people who don't have what you have. Don't just throw that away", Peter said.

I walked towards Peter. "Give me the knife", Peter said. I gave the knife to him. Peter puts it on the table. He pulled me into a hug. I cried into his shoulder. "It's okay", Peter reassures, but it wasn't.

"It's like Terrell's dying all over again",I sobbed.
