I ran outside to my car and tried to call him again. "Pick up. Come on, come on." He didn't answer.

I followed his direction on my GPS.

I parked on the bridge. Getting outside the car I heard voices and laughter. I saw Peter hanging upside down. "Peter." I whispered.

He looked up at me. "What are you doing here?" He screamed at me, whispering.

"You can't be here."

"No, you can't be here."

"I can protect myself." I stated. I didn't tell him about my powers.

"What are you— Amelia, this is dangerous."

"For you too."

His phone began to ring. "Are you—" I muttered.

"Did you set us up?" The voice below us asked.

"Stay here." Peter said and jumped off to the guys.

"Hey! Hey, come on. You gonna shoot at somebody, shoot at me." Peter said.

"Alright."

I heard Peter shoot his webs on the guy. Grunts. And then boom and Peter grunting. I looked down, he was lying on the floor.

I grabbed a hoodie from my car and jumped down. The cars were starting to drive.

"Amelia! No!" Peter said to me.

He shot his webs on the car and dragged on the ground next to it. I jumped on his back before he went too far.

"What are you doing?" He asked me.

"Peter, just trust me okay? I can protect myself. Trust me."

"Okay. Okay. I trust you."

The van went down on the road and we bumped into a trash can. "Fuck." I groaned.

Something shot at us from inside the van. We both pulled our heads down.

It shot at us a few more times. And then the van began to drive from side to side.

Until we bumped into a block and we let go of the van. "Jump , come on." Peter told me.

I jumped on his back and held him tight. He ran off and above a fence.

A dog jumped on him but then he throw a ball for the dog and swing off. "Holy fuck!" I screamed in his ear.

We landed in a garden next to two girls who were camping outside. "Oh, hey guys." Peter said and they screamed.

"Okay, Ames, let's go!" I jumped back on his back and he swing away.

He ran on a house. "Here it is!" I yelled.

Just when Peter was gonna jump off something swing above us and caught him, making me fall off. "No, no, no, no." I muttered with tears. I looked up. It was something like a big bald. But it wasn't a bird.

"I'm calling my dad!" I yelled but I wasn't sure if he heard me.

I pulled out my phone and dialed my dad's number.

"Dad?" I asked with tears.

"Anelia, what's wrong?"

"Peter... he..."

"I'm on my way." He hung up.

"Friday?" I said to my phone. "I need one of the suits."

"It's only for emergencies."

"It is an emergency! Please!" I sobbed.

"It's on the way."

In two minutes the suit was next to me and I got in. I landed next to my car and drove back home.

"Oh, my god!" Mom exclaimed when she saw my face.

I bet I'm full with dirt, bruises and probably blood.

"What happened?" She asked me.

"I ran to help Peter with some..." I groaned when I sat down. "stuff. When does dad coming back?"

"Now." He walked down from the basement. "What were you thinking!"

"Save it for him."

"I already yelled at him. Amelia, that wasn't safe!"

"I could have stopped them!"

"No, you couldn't! You should have called me the moment he ran after them."

"Well, I didn't." He sighed. "Is he okay?"

"He's fine."

"I'm going to take a shower."

When I got out of the shower I got two texts from Liz.
Where are you?
Are you okay?

And a text from Peter.
I'm okay. Are you? I'll see you tomorrow in school, than. We need to talk.
