After saying goodbye. Aiden and Ned walked out of the door to Peter's apartment

"You sure you don't want a ride?" Ned asked Aiden as they walked down the hall "It really wouldn't be a problem."

"No thanks. Besides, I like to walk" Aiden said, shooting Ned a smile.

~~~

Peter closed the door to his apartment, waving goodbye to Ned and Aiden as they left

"Aiden seems nice. When'd you meet him?" Aunt May asked

"We got paired up in a project, after that we just, clicked, I guess."

Aunt May nodded

"I am a little worried about him though." Peter added, leaning over the counter of their kitchen. Aunt May shot him a confused look

Peter continued,

"Well, i've seen him in the hallways at school, y'know- before we were friends. He just always looked upset. He told me that me and Ned were his first friends, like ever. And there was this one day, I couldn't really tell. But it looked like there was a bruise on his face, I asked him about it once and he got all defensive and left. I mean it could've been nothing, but.."

May shared Peter's look of worry now,

"Well, I guess there isn't much we can do. We don't want to press the poor kid, if he wants to tell you he will. Let him know you're there for him though. And if you two talk, slip it in that he's always welcome here. For as long as he needs."

Peter smiled, and nodded

Aiden opened the door to his apartment slowly, not wanting to walk in on something he'd regret.

He saw his dad sleeping on the couch, beer cans and pizza boxes everywhere. Not to mention the room reeked of sex.

He rolled his eyes, walking over to his room, closing the door.

He quickly changed his clothes, emptied his backpack of his sleepover supplies. Putting his notebook, and his homework inside. He planned to do it all on the rooftop, it was Sunday so he'd have to do it sometime.

He walked over to the kitchen, which was covered in beer cans and the smell of cigarettes. He grabbed a snack, noticing his dads wallet on the counter.

He looked up and over at the slumped figure of his dad on the couch, still snoring.

Aiden quickly opened the wallet, pulling a twenty dollar bill out, quickly pocketing it. He hoped that'd be enough for the book, Peter already ordered his copy so he was behind.

He ran back to his room, grabbing his backpack and speed walked out of the house.
