Holding Onto Hope

Chapter 6 - Gwens POV

I took the long root home and walked very slowly so it was dark by the time I got there. I didn't want my mom too hear me arrive (she was asleep) so I slowly
opened the door, stepped out of my shoes and hung my coat up on the peg. A few floor boards cheeked as I tip toed over them.

I finally reached my room and plonked my self down on my bed. I checked my phone to see if I had any texts from Peter as I did so one came through.

Peter: Hey r u awake?? Xx

Me: Yep xx

Peter: Did u get home ok xx
Me: Yeah so what u up 2 right now xx

Peter: Just laying in bed you ? Xx

Me: Same here by the way was Aunt May ok wiv me coming round? Xx

Peter: Yeah she was just just about stressed from her day at work I guess xx

I laid on my bed for a second thinking of what to text back.

Me: U know if there's anything u ever want to tell me u can right don't be afraid xx

He didn't answer straight away. I really hoped he would tell me what he was talking to Aunt May about earlier.

Peter: Okay well I'm pretty tired I better go to bed xx

I sighed and text back.

Me: Yeah me 2 good night love u xxx

Peter: Love u 2 goodnight xxx

I placed my phone down on the side table. I stared at the ceiling for along time.

I was tending on a cog looked up at Peter and Harry fighting. Peter was shooting webs vigorously trying to hit Harry. I jumped over from one cog to another trying to get to one of the sides. When I looked up again I saw Harry's glider falling towards me. I had no time think. It hit the cog I was standing on and I fell. Peter hopped down onto a cog and shot a web at me. Using that he started to pulled me up until Harry jumped onto him and pinned him down. I could see much but I was just concentrating on not falling. Harry threw another punch at Peter but he webbed his hand to another cog. Harry put his hand on Peters throat. "Peter, Peter, Peter.... Gwen, Gwen....

" Gwen, Gwen, Gwen!" I awoke with a jolt. I was out of breath and my mom was standing over me. "Mom where's Peter! I was at the clock tower! I was.... I was ....". My held my shoulder, helped me sit up and said " Its okay Gwen your fine, your here at home with me you just had a nightmare.". I held my head and took some deep breaths after I said " Okay I'm sorry. Did I wake the boys?"
" No I think there still asleep. Are you okay now?"
I sighed " Yeah kind of. How loud was I shouting?"
" Pretty loud." my mom laughed.
" Sorry."
" That's okay sweetie. Are you going to be okay now?". I layer back down and replied " Yeah thanks mom." She kissed my head and got up "That's okay goodnight Gwen."
"Night mom.". She closed the door behind her. I turned over on one side and looked at my clock 3:35 am. I closed my eyes and tried to get back to sleep.
