Save Me

Peter told his therapist everything and knowing Peter's worry's about going back in hospital she decided it would best to keep him out. For now. Though she wanted to keep seeing him more than she used to and she had spoken to Tony.

Peter was offered to sit in the session with them both but he really didn't want to sit with her and Tony. He'd never really spoken about his mental health with people.

And even though he was on suicide watch, he still didn't want to talk about that with him. He didn't like it. Though he tried when he had too.

Which Tony was glad about. He started speaking to May and Mj more too.

Though Peter had stopped eating as much Tony noticed no matter how much Peter tried to hide it, he also noticed the long sleeves at all times.

He noticed the bags under the kids eyes. The defeated look on his face that he tried to hide when he knew people were watching him. Tony wanted to help, he needed to. He remembered everything Peter's therapist told him. And he done everything he could, everything she said.

But there were times he just kept pushing him away, not accepting his help. He remembered what May told him before she left, he knew she thought he would be the one to pull him out of this.

Though Tony worried he was too late. He worried he'd lost too much. Been through too much.

"Can you drop me off at Mj's instead of school? She wanted to walk together," Peter interrupted his thoughts as he walked into the lab.

"Of course." His voice was soft. Peter knew he was worried for Peter's first day back.

"Thanks, I'm gonna get ready."

Peter walked back to his room, he closed his door and sighed. He didn't want today to happen. He didn't want to walk back into that building. He wanted to go back to bed, even though he hadn't been able to sleep properly since that day.

He knew he had get ready soon so he wasn't late, he changed into his jeans and just pulled a sweater over his pyjama shirt. He got his phone, shoes and bag before leaving his room again.

On his way to the kitchen he went to the bathroom that had his medication in. He got out the pills and swallowed them with a glass of water. Tony was waiting for him.

"Ready?"

"Yeah," Peter sighed as he picked up an apple before walking out the door with Tony.

Peter and Mj stood at the gates of school. Neither one wanted to go. Peter watched people walk past them, he noticed the stares, the whispers. He already knew he wouldn't be able to handle today.

But still he took Mj's hand and took a step forward.

The two began walking, they saw a queue to get into the building. Which confused them both, as well as everyone else, though they just joined at the end.

It didn't take as long as they thought it would to get to the doors. That was when they found out what was taking so long. There were two metal detectors, that they had to walk through, there were also bag checks and security guards.

Peter went to one while Mj went to the other, he put his bag in the tray before walking through. He watched as the man looked through his bag quickly before giving it back.

"Have a good day," the man said before Peter walked away.

He waited for Mj to finish before he kept walking. Since his was closer the two went to Peter's locker first, not wanting to be apart. When he opened it an envelope fell to his feet. Mj picked it up for him.
