*Ali's pov*
I wake up the next morning. I see Ash is up and is messaging around on her phone. She sees I'm awake and smiles. "Hey gorgeous. How'd you sleep?"

"I slept amazing. How did you sleep?" I say.

"Ehh I slept pretty good." She says.

I smile and lean in kissing her. She smiles and kisses back, Sloane starts crying. I sigh, Ash gets up.

"It's okay. I'll get her." Ash says.

I check my phone and notice I don't have any text messages or missed phone calls from Gwen. "Hmm that's weird." I say.

"What's weird? What's wrong?" Ash asks coming back into the room with Sloane.

"I don't have any messages or missed calls from Gwen." I say.

"I'm sure she's fine babe. She's probably just busy, or might still be sleeping. Maybe she's busy being a hero. I don't know, she's a teenager babe. You know how teenagers are." Ash says.

I nod. "Just give her time I'm sure she's okay."

I nod. "Your right. I'm sorry I'm just tense and worried about her all the time. Especially when she's off doing the hero shit." I say.

We get up and go downstairs into the kitchen. Ash starts making breakfast as I feed Sloane.

My phone rings and I answer without looking at the caller ID.

"Oh thank god Gwen your okay." I say.

I get cut off by Kelly. "What?"

"Oh it's just you." Ash looks over at me curious about the person on the phone. "It's just Kelly." I say.

Kelly scuff. "Rude."

"Sorry just waiting to hear back from Gwen. I haven't gotten any texts or phone calls." I say.

"Woah woah. Slow down, what do you mean you haven't heard from her?" Kelly says.

"Last time I talked to her was yesterday before me and Ash left for our date. That was the last time I spoke to her, I haven't heard from her since." I say.

"I'm sure she's fine." Kelly says.

"I don't know Kel. I just have a gut feeling that something is wrong." I say.

"Hey hey. It's your mind playing tricks on you, your mind wants you to think that but I'm 100% positive that she's okay." Kelly says.

"I'm really worried Kelly. Ever since we found out that she was Spider Girl, I always have a gut feeling that something bad is gonna happen to her." I say.

"Me too honestly. I worry about her a lot especially when she isn't with you guys I immediately start thinking the worst. I always feel like I have to be there for her, you know?" Kelly says.

"Yeah I understand." I say.

"I'm not sure if anyone has said this but I think I speak for everyone when I say this. We all love her and care deeply about her Ali. As long as any of us are around we will never let anything happen." Kelly says.

Yeah that is very true. The poor kid has been through so much, I'm sure Boeing a hero doesn't help though either. I feel like her being a hero just makes her bottle up and hide her feelings even more." I say.

"Like you said she does it because she's a superhero. She feels like she always has to act tough. She thinks hiding her feeling will make her tough cause she doesn't wanna seem weak in front of anyone." Kelly says.

"Yeah me and Ash are thinking about finding her someone so she can talk to." I say.

Ash instantly looks up at me confused and eyebrow furrowed. "We are?"
