Lost In Love (Book Addition) Peter Parker x Y/n

Ch 9- Did you ever consider...

[Y/n's Pov]
It's been a whole week since....the incident. I've tried talking to Peter but every time I called him it went straight to voice mail. I texted him but he left me on read. I've tried to catch him in class but he always managed to be out of the door before me. Even in the halls he pretends I'm not there. So today I decided to walk to Peter's locker and confront him about it.

"Peter!" He turned his face and his expression dropped to a sort of annoyed one. "What's up y/n?" "What's up? We haven't talked in a week and you've been avoiding me." He turned back to his locker and started putting stuff in it. "I haven't been avoiding you."

"Dodging my calls, leaving me on read, making sure you don't bump into me in the halls. That's the definition of avoiding someone." He turned back and looked at me. "I've just been busy with the Stark internship."

I raised my eyebrow at him. "I asked my dad if he had seen you around you said you needed time for quote, Personal time. You know sometimes I think you forget I'm a Stark." Peter dropped the act and then even seemed frustrated at me. "Fine. Meet me at that Thai place tonight 7pm again. So we can talk."

What is it? Why can't he just tell me now. "Okay." I replied. Then he closed his locker and walked away. Was he mad at me? What did I do?

[At the restaurant]
"Soooo." Peter didn't even bother to look at me. "You said you wanted to talk?" Now he wanted to look at me. "Y/n I can't-" I waited but he didn't answer.
"Peter what ever you have to say I'd rather you just say it than-"

"I can't be with you anymore Y/n" He interrupted me with. I just stared at him blankly. "Wha..." "With what happened...I can't- what I'm trying to say is you being around me is putting you in more danger."

"Peter I'm a Stark. I was born into danger. If this is about last week you can't blame yourself for that." He just studied me then leaned his head down.

"Y/n you're safer without me. I don't want you to be in that situation again." I stood up "I can protect myself." Then I started to walk off. "Y/n where are you going?"

"To get some air." I heard Peter's chair scrap the floor "y/n wait!" I sped out of the door, the door's bell above it rung and I didn't pay attention. I don't even know where I was going. I just wanted to get away from here.

"Y/n come on slow down." I walked faster. Then I felt a hand around my waist and within a second I was face to face with Peter, so close I could feel his breath. What am I doing? I pushed away from him.

"What Peter?! You said we're done."

"I'm not trying to hurt you. I just can't stand to see you hurt, I want to protect you."

"Peter right now you're the one that's hurting me."

I turned and started running, tears streaming down my face.

[At the avengers tower]
"Is any one home?" No reply. "Good." I ran up to my room, and locked the door. All this and he just breaks up with me like that? Gosh I'm so stupid. I layed down on my pillow and just looked up at the ceiling, Thinking. Then my phone rang. "F.R.I.D.A.Y who is calling me?"
"Ms. Stark your phone is right beside you-" I knew it was a bad idea for my dad to give F.R.I.D.A.Y human like emotions. "Just answer me F.R.I.D.A.Y" "It is Peter Parker, Ms.Stark."

He just broke up with me and he's gonna call?!

"F.R.I.D.A.Y decline the call."

"Again Ms.Stark your device is right beside you."

"F.R.I.D.A.Y..." I warned

"Call declined." She replied

Good. Now I can be left alone to cry my heart out. Then my phone rang again.

"Who is it this time?!"

"It's Mr.Parker again. I'd advise you to-"

"Block him F.R.I.D.A.Y"

"Ms.Stark are you sure you are not acting out of intense emotion? Your heart rate is unusually high."

"Just do it F.R.I.D.A.Y!" I chocked out.

My phone stopped ringing and I leaned into my pillow and let the tears flow.

[Peter's Pov]
I thought mabey I should go after Y/n but she seemed really upset, and it was because of me. Instead of running after her I just stood there thinking of what she said "Peter right now you're the one hurting me."

Was I doing the wrong thing? Y/n disappeared out if my view and I turned to walk home.

[At Peter's apartment.]
"Hey Peter! How'd the date go?" May asked kindly. I just looked at her trying to hold back tears. "Oh, honey what's wrong." She hugged me tightly. "I broke up with her." She pulled away.

"Well why'd you do that?" I put my stuff down and sat on the couch, may sitting beside me. "Well with what happened last week I felt is was my fault. If she doesn't have me around I can protect her from that."

May seemed to think it over. "Do you love her?" I was stunned by the question. Love? Is that what this is? I thought about y/n, her beautiful e/c  [your eye color] eyes. The way her h/c [your hair color] hair would fall when she was laughing. And oh my god the way she tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, then the way she would give me a side smile when she caught me looking at her. I'd get buterflies and try to look down to hide my blush.

"y-yeah I do." May smiled. "Peter I think you're getting confused. Did you ever consider Protecting her and Loving her isn't the same thing? You're pushing her away because you love her and you don't want to see anything happen to her. But pushing her away isn't protecting her. In fact it may be hurting her." Y/n did say I was hurting her. I immediately knew May was right. I have to fix this. [Author note (A/n) May also knows Peter is Spiderman]

[Y/n Pov]
I woke up to knocking on my window. Dang, I didn't even know I fell asleep. I got up and grabbed my metal baseball bat from beside my bed and slowly walked to the Window.

I didn't see anything, I opened the window and something flew past me and into my room

"Friday turn on the lights!" "Yes Ms.Stark." the light turned on and I saw Peter standing in the middle of my room. I slightly lowered my baseball bat and relaxed a little bit.

"Peter what are you doing in my room?!" He had his hands put in front of him protectively "First can you put down the bat...please?" I thought about it for a second then I put it down.

"Ok...Y/n I just want tell you..." He stepped closer to me and grabbed my hands. "I'm really sorry about earlier. I don't know what came over me...actually I do know but I already told you that...."
"Peter take a breath."

He did then continued "I was so stupid. I wasn't protecting you, May helped me realize that. Protecting you and loving you isn't the same thing and-

[Third Pov]
Y/n looked up at Peter with the biggest smile. "What?" He said with a soft laugh.

"Say that again."

"I was stupid?"

"No after that.

"Protecting you and Loving isn't the...."

Peter's face got really red in that moment but he managed to pull himself together and finish what he was saying.

"It isn't the same thing and I don't want to see you get hurt, let alone me being the one hurting you. So what do you say Y/n will you be my girlfriend again?"

All sense of sadness, anger, and fear were gone from Y/n's face and she cupped Peter's face and kissed him. She pulled back and looked into his eyes.

"As long as you promise to never do that again."

"Deal"

Peter hugged Y/n for a good minute, he pulled away and headed back for the window. "I'll see you at school tomorrow?" Y/n nodded and Peter swung out if the window, Y/n ran to the window and watched him swing away.
