"GODDAMN IT, IF YOU DONT GET YOUR ASS BACK IN THIS HOUSE Y/N I'LL LOCK YOU IN HERE AND NEVER LET YOU OUT!"

"THIS IS EXACTLY WHY IM LEAVING MARIA, YOU MUST BE STUPID TO BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE NOT THE MOST MANIPULATIVE PERSON EVER. YOU'RE LITERALLY THREATENING TO LOCK ME UP AND KEEP ME HOSTAG-"

"Shut the hell up." She said quietly while holding eye contact "you've been on that phone too much, now you think everything i say is abuse and manipulation, YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO KNOW MANIPULATION AND ABUSE"

"NO" I screamed and ripped my hand out of hers, her grip was so strong it left a mark on my wrist.
"you... YOU NEED TO LEAVE ME ALONE ALRIGHT?? LET ME BE OKAY? I'VE NOT HAD A SECOND OF MY CHILDHOOD BECAUSE OF YOU HOLDING ME BACK ALL THE GODDAMN TIME MARIA!! STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ME! p-Please..."

tears are pouring down my face and my throat is sore from screaming back and forth with my mother. She's never let me out of the house aside for school, knowing that if she did, i would find my soulplace and probably leave her.

yesterday I had lied about staying at school for tutoring so I could go explore and find my place. And funny story, I did! But walking home, I found my mom on the sidewalk waiting for me with a bottle of wine half empty in her hand.

She had called the school to see if there was even tutoring and of course, there wasn't and that is what lead us to now.

"Do I have to let your heart find a home?" She says while crying "please don't leave, please please please don't leave, " she crawls onto the floor and holds my leg while crying "you're all I have left..."

I felt guilty

Terribly guilty because she was right, all she had left was me, and the house. My dad left us because he had said my mother was too controlling and my brother left as soon as he had the chance.. collage.

And I, I couldn't wait for collage
She's threatened my life before and in all honesty, tried to kill me. But of course my "senses" have kept her from doing it. I would go into depth but right now isn't the time.

"Maria... i-

"PLEASE DONT LEAVE ME-"

"NO." I got tired of seeing her trying to guilt trip me.

Her cries went silent as she slowly raised her head, a neutral face with dull eyes showing no emotion looking into my soul

I got chills and slowly backed away..
"Oh fuc-"
She charged at me with a broken class wine bottle.
I was too late to stop her because next ting I knew my arm was sliced open and I was screaming in agony.

"MOM PLEASE NO!!"
her hearing me call her mom again caused her to stop
"mom please, no, don't hurt me p-please-" I'm pouring tears

She crouches down and looks regretful and worried for me, she slowly reaches for me and I push her over and bolt it to the open door way

"Y/N L/N!!!! GET YOUR SPOILD ASS OVER HERE NOW!!!"

I didn't look back
Not even a glance

She tried to kill me...
She almost did too...

What do I do now...

•••••••••••••••••••••••

I ended up calling Ned, he's my cousin who has always been there when my mother does things like this.

He offered to help me find a place to stay, I said it was okay, that I didn't want to be a bother but he insisted

"Come on y/n, May is the nicest lady ever and she'd be glad to let you stay with her"

"Ned, I don't want to bother an innocent lady with my.. 'accidents'.. what if I come home one night, beat to a pulp and she sees me like that and I'd have to explain and reveal,, you know what..."

"Just be sneaky about it, like do that walk througha wall trick"

"Alright, this should be easy then.. I mean what if I go through the wall and shes in my room already like you were when you found out my abilities "
"Then oh well"

"Wow thanks Ned"

Morning comes and its time for school, wash my hair, brush my teeth, and eat breakfast.

We're walking to school when I feel a very intense tingle go up my spine

"Ned, stay as still as possible"
"Why what's happening???" He twirls around looking for what might be causing my tingle to go off
"I don't know, I feel a tingle-"

"Hey guys, what's going on?" I jump at the sound of a boy-ish voice from behind me

I turn and see no other than Peter Parker
Thats odd, why did my tingle go off?
"Peter!" Ned says ecstatic

He looks at me with a curious tilt, I do the same, the tingle settles down and I hear Ned's faint voice
"Hello?? Hellooooo? Earth to Peter and y/n??"

He shakes his head "Uhh, yeah sorry, umm you seem familiar, I just can't put my finger on it"
"Yeah" I say faintly

"Guys we have to go, we're gonna be late" Ned says
I peek at my watch and realize we have less than 5 minutes before the bell rings

"RUN!"

----------------------------

skipping to calculus, Ned's sat next to me and Peter in front
I slightly feel my tingle come back while I'm taking notes, I look up and see the hairs on the back of Peter's neck are standing up

Can he?-

"Ms.L/N, can you answer this question and not stare googly eyed at mr.Parker please?"

I clear my throat awkwardly, "ahem yeah umm," I get up to write on the board and write out the equation

I can feel him staring at my back
I finally finish the equation and the chalk breaks in my hand, I look down at it, then at the teacher, who was also looking at the chalk dust in my hand, just then the bell rings and I quickly grab my stuff and walk out of there.

Chalk all over my hands as I quickly pace to the bathroom..

God forgive me for what im about to do 😀
