Collateral-Peter Parker x OC [2]

Chapter 4

As the couple swung through the air, Arya surveyed the unfamiliar city, the wind blowing through her hair. She was truly perplexed, she recognized nothing, it looked like a totally different town. 

After a few moments, she was set down in front of the house she was previously at. 

Arya hopped off of him as he let go of her waist, "Ok, uh, just follow me and I'll show you the guest room," he explained, opening the door and holding it open for the girl to walk inside. 

"Thanks," she said softly, thanking him for the kind gesture as she stepped into his house, it was small and he seemed to live alone. 

Peter shut the door behind him, walking towards the guest room which the girl followed closely behind. 

"Okay, here," Peter spoke, "It's not much but I figure you'll sleep fine,"

"Uhh, thanks," she replied, rubbing her palms together, something she often did when she was anxious.

Peter stared at the girl for a moment, "Uhm, do you want some clothes or something? You know so you don't have to sleep in that?"

Arya looked down at her outfit before looking back up at the boy, she nodded, "Yeah, uhm thanks,"

"Okay, I'll be right back," he told her, walking out of the room and towards his own. 

Arya surveyed the room for a moment before she noticed a framed picture on the nightstand. Her curiosity took over as she walked over to the frame to pick it up.

The picture was Peter, and a girl she didn't know, she was blonde and she had her arms wrapped around the boy. She figured it was his girlfriend and she began to sit the picture back down before she realized something.

The girl in the photo was wearing a necklace. A necklace identical to her own. She couldn't help but ponder on this, Peter had claimed he gave her this necklace yet it was in the picture. But he couldn't have given it to her, that couldn't have been possible. 

She was quickly pulled out of her thoughts when Peter re-entered the room, "I got you a shirt and sweats,"

Arya turned towards him, "Oh, uh thanks," 

The two stared at each other awkwardly for a moment, tension filling the room before Arya broke the silence, "Is this your girlfriend?"

Peter looked up at the girl then down towards the picture she was holding, "Uhm, no," he started, "well she was, she passed away,"

Arya's face filled with sympathy for the boy, "Oh, I'm sorry," she spoke, placing the picture back down.

"Thank you," he spoke, nodding. Ever since he had met Arya he was able to talk about Gwen again without hating himself, he was eternally grateful for that.  

"Did you get her that necklace?" she asked out of curiosity, "It looks just like mine"

Arya watched as Peter's face furrowed with a look she couldn't decipher. Peter was pondering on what to say, he didn't want to scare her off by telling her it was the same necklace so he just decided to play it off.

"Uhm, yeah I got it for her, must've been a very popular necklace," 

Arya nodded, "yeah I guess, sorry I was just curious," she spoke, "anyways Uhm, thanks for the clothes and thanks for earlier, saving me and everything," she spoke, feeling a bit better about the boy after he opened up to her.

"of course, no problem" He spoke, sending a smile towards the girl.

"I'm still serious about kicking you in the balls though so don't play anything," She reminded him, this time her tone filled with more of a joking manner. 

Peter let out a small laugh before turning towards the door, stopping to give her a thumbs-up before leaving her alone in the room.

Arya let out a soft sigh as she slipped on the boy's clothes and slipped into the soft bed. She did her best to sleep but she couldn't help but shake the strong feeling of Deju Vu that filled her.
