Best friends Peter and Y/N sat in his bedroom, Peter's Lego Death Star in his arms, while Y/N did her homework.

"Peter, can you help me with this question? I can't seem to figure it out..." Y/N handed Peter her work book, Peter scanning the question.

"It's easy." He showed her how to complete it, a smile appearing on her face.

"How are we friends? You're the smarts, I'm the...I don't know...looks?" Y/N laughed.

"No, you're also smart." Peter smiled as he continued building his Lego Death Star.

"Hey Y/N...can I ask you something?" Peter asked as he put down his Lego set.

"Ask away Peter." Y/N smiled.

"Can we pick a safe song?" He asked, confusing Y/N.

"What's a safe song?" She asked, putting down her book.

"A safe song is a song you pick so that if you're ever in danger, you can sing it and anyone who knows it's a safe song can help you." Peter explained.

"Sure. What song would you like to pick?" Y/N asked.

"Stand By You, by Rachel Platten? My mom used to sing it to me when I was a child. She said that no matter what horrible situation I'm in, if I sing that song, I'll know that she's with me." Peter explained.

"I think that's the perfect song. I always loved your mother. She was an amazing cook." Y/N smiled, getting back to her school work.

Y/N
"Y/N, did you finish the homework assignment? Mr Harrington was very adamant that we all hand it in soon." MJ asked as you furiously wrote in your "not a journal".

"I've handed it in already. What I'm doing now has nothing to do with school work." You told MJ.

Peter continued to eat his lunch while Ned talked to him about whatever new movie had been released.

"Hey, Y/N. How's that new boyfriend of yours?" Flash laughed as he passed by the table.

"He's fine thank you. And he's not new. We've been dating for 2 years." You reminded him.

"Hey Flash. Get away from my girlfriend." You rolled your eyes as Brad Davis entered the cafeteria.

Of course, Flash not wanting a built up guy like Brad to kick his ass, he moved away, allowing for Brad to sit forcefully between you and MJ.

"How's my smart girlfriend doing?" Brad's arm went around your shoulder, bringing you closer to him.

"I'm fine...thanks." You knew that Brad didn't care.

You and Brad had been dating for 2 years. You started dating because Brad asked you to the Prom after you and Peter had a massive fight. Of course, you and Peter became friends again.

Brad was someone different. He wasn't like Flash or like Peter. He wasn't a bully and he wasn't a nerd.

It was like he was different, but not in a good way. He liked making people feel inferior to himself. He liked seeing people squirm.

Around you, he was almost mostly kind. He was sometimes a bit forceful, but if he was, he'd apologise.

As the end of the day approached, you wanted to avoid Brad. He'd been acting strange and you couldn't figure out how to stop him. He was being more forceful every time he attempted to kiss you.

"Is everything alright Y/N? You've been very jumpy all day. How's it going with Brad?" Peter asked as he walked up to you. You had been getting your books out of your locker as Peter smiled.

"It's uh...going fine thanks, but I need to go." You quickly shoved your books into your bag, hearing the sound of Brad's heavy footsteps coming down the hallway.

"C'mon Y/N. It's been a while since we've caught up. I don't think we've talked so much since you started dating Brad." Peter held your arm as you took deep breaths in and out.

"Okay, but I'm in a bit of a rush right now..." You tried to get away, but Peter held your arm a little tighter.

You could hear Brad's footsteps getting louder. Knowing that Peter would hear you if you sang, you began.

"'Cause I'm gonna stand by you. Even if we're breaking down, we can find a way to break through. Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through hell with you. Love, you're not alone 'cause I'm gonna stand by you." You sang, loud enough for only Peter to hear.

You could feel Peter's worried gaze on you.

"Is Brad hurting you?" He whispered in your ear.

"'Cause I'm gonna stand by you. Even if we're breaking down, we can find a way to break through. Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through hell with you. Love, you're not alone 'cause I'm gonna stand by you." You sang more, holding Peter's hand this time.

"Hey, Peter. Get your hand off my girlfriend." Brad shouted.

"Sorry Brad. Y/N and I are late for a homework session and we better be going." Peter lightly pulled you away from your closed locker.

Before Brad could pull you away or try to force Peter off you, Peter had already taken you outside the school.

"Y/N, are you alright?" Peter asked, holding you gently.

"T-Thank you." You hugged him, giving him a kiss on the cheek in appreciation.
