The Spectacular Spiderman (3)

Chapter 5 (Before the Calamity)

Peter is still searching for his enemies in anger and carelessness of his own.. Not taking the symbiont effect in the formula slowly breaking down his life.

 After a burdensome night that caught up to the day, cap. Stacy entered his house at night, only to be met with a worrisome voice that bounced up, soon he came in, as he was being stalked to enter the house "Dad what happened? You look exhausted"

"Gwen dear," he took off his jacket and rested tiresomely on the sofa, "do you know what is going on with Parker?"

Startled by the question, Gwen turned her eyes sideways, hesitantly said "Pete... Why?"

The old man reluctantly said "Nothing" but his daughter knows all his tells, she raised her tone in concern "Did something happen to Pete?"

"Some super villains attacked the mall and there were some casualties"

"IS PETER OKAY?" her voice rose high and her hands clenched on her father. The man calmly took his little girl's hands comforting "No, Parker is fine. It's his aunt, she had a heart attack.... She was hospitalized since the beginning of night"

"Oh God. Where is Peter?" her hands covered her mouth after a gasp.

"... Is he facing some problems in school or work? Did he tell you about anything?!" Stacy asked her answer came awkwardly short ".... Not that I heard about"

Gwen looked down and turned her eyes away, trailing her feet quickly to her room, burring her guilt in the pillow. She felt disgusted about her lies, betraying her childhood friend, all she could do, was to keep her tears from falling, but she had no power over heart breaking.
Distraught in agonized thoughts she spent the night pushing back her cries.

Next morning, at the school yard during PE class,

"Peter, Are you Okay?" a familiar voice approached the lone boy sitting at the front row of the football field sinking in hazy thoughts with black circles bagged under his eyes proving his insomnia.
Peter looked up to the red head repeating the question, he then focused as the one coming after her, Liz approached in concerned about his tiresomely red eyes "Peter, your eyes..." she tried to reach for his hand but his sunken eyes felt distance away.
MJ called again take care of yourself Tiger, May would nag so much when she wake up... We're your friends. You can ask for..."

'"Huff" Peter sighed brokenly with a smile "Yeah, for Help?"

They looked surprised from his tone,

'Ah, Please... Can you give me money to pay the hospital fees? Can you take some photos of me & send it to JJJ? Can you take down Rhino & the other super-villains? Can you resurrect Norman Osborn, so I maintain my friendship with Harry? Can you.... Can you?'

Pater's head was full of these untold thoughts however, he just stood up and chuckled weirdly to himself then walked away to the building, but then from the end of the corridor, he saw the beautiful blond girl staring at him with her big dazzling turquoise eyes. She raised her hand to reach him hesitating to call his name... but a cold shiver spread through his body and chained his arms back, scared of meeting her, afraid from that facial confronting so he quickly escaped into the school building but unfortunately he heard a someone calling his name "Hey, Parker"

Flash & his gang walked to him. Peter sighed "Not now Flash"

"Hey man, Look__" and before he could continue, He was already pinned to the closets powerless under the boy's mercy "I said. Not now Flash"

Startled by his reaction, the bigger guy rose his hands with a serious face "Hey, Hey. I was just gonna ask If you are okay, man?"

Peter let go of him, and shamefully staggered away "Just.. Leave me alone"
