EPILOGUE
Someone To You

Peter never wanted to leave Eve's side. He went with her when she had a meeting at the school, never questioned the silent ride back. He didn't want to leave her. He chose to leave her right before she got hurt. He should have fought to stand by her, then he could have at least tried to protect her.

Peter wanted to stay for one week to make sure she was okay. And while everyone knew he was doing it because of his good heart, May and Ben had to haul him away. And he sat in slight agony and impatience. He'd go over after school and check on her, every single day. He didn't see a pile of homework on her desk, which was strange.

Peter tapped his pencil, waiting for class to be dismissed. When the bell finally rang, he sprinted out of the school, running over to Eve's house.

He accidentally ran into the wall, causing a small fit of laughter to fall from Eve's lips. She stood up, going to the bathroom while he mindlessly went through her closet. Then his eyes saw the box. He looked in the box, recognising the mask as the one from the new vigilante—

He turned around to see Eve standing right behind him. He had too much on his mind to even think about how close they accidentally were, and how his heart skipped a beat with the distance. "Evie?"

"I guess you were bound to find out at some point." She sighed, sitting down on the bed, beside him.

Eve started to explain it all, the powers, the vigilante, etc. "Look, I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I didn't want you to get hurt—"

"Eve, Eve, Eve!"

"What?" She looked him in the eyes for the first time after explaining it.

"There's more. I know there is. And I'm not mad at you for not telling me. Would I have liked to know sooner, and maybe not after you almost died? Yes. But I could never be mad at you. It's actually a problem." Peter told her.

"Well, I am pretty likable." She joked.

"Eve. What else is there?" He asked.

She sighed. "You know how I've skipped school, gotten shitty grades, got into many fistfights?" He nodded, "Well, I got kicked out. I mean, this is what I wanted, right? To get out of school." She told him, not meeting his glance.

Peter never liked that school. It was always pure hell and misery for his best friend. She was always burnt out and stressed, therefore, leading her to not do much school work. Or, she was so stressed, she just couldn't bring herself to walk through those doors and be tortured. He replaced the bandaid on the side of Eve's face without either of them saying a thing.

"Yeah, well, they're missing out on having you there on the rare occasion." He stated.

Eve stood up, and so did Peter. She crossed her arms, looking back at the box of her vigilante shit. Peter saw that.

"Hey, maybe one day I'll get superpowers and we can save the city together. Or the world." Peter joked.

"I'm not a hero." Eve told him, walking to the kitchen. She went to the fridge, that happened to be facing Peter, and she leaned against it. "I killed someone, Peter. A hero shouldn't think about that. It's not like I enjoyed it, but I didn't fully care."

Peter furrowed his brows. "Did you save people or not?" He questioned.

"Yeah—"

"That's what matters." Peter told her, subconsciously walking closer to her.

Changing the subject, Eve suggested, "well, we can both wear Black."

"Black is your colour, not mine."

"What? Do you want red and blue like the cops?" She countered.

He smiled. Sure, the idea was great, but he was smiling with the thought of Eve.

"What are you smiling at?" Eve questioned.

"Nothing." He lied.

For a brief moment when Peter looked away, she happened to glance at him. Eve always wondered how she got so lucky with him as a best friend. He was always there for her, he willingly became friends with her. Peter was the one to officiate them being friends.

"What are you smiling at?" He asked her.

"Nothing." She lied, just like he did.

Eve and Peter are >>>

Well, onto the tasm storyline

Okay, bye!
