My body relaxed once I had finish my shift, I immediately felt a weight lifted off my shoulder but than another weight was put back on in an instant realizing how much assignments I had due.

I rubbed my eyes in exhaustion.

Walking down the street towards my apartment was always the most embarrassing thing, I had my uniform on and always had my claw clip holding up my hair, and of course my brown back pack that had basically everything in it. Although, I don't think people even took a look at me especially dressed like this it just made me feel embarrassed.

I shrug off what I was feeling and continue my walk, it had been a few days since I saw Mary Jane, in all honesty I brushed off our encounter and told Peter everything went smoothly. I just didn't want to break his heart by telling him what I saw, I think Mary Jane should be the person to tell him.

I mean the saying don't shoot the messenger isn't a saying for no reason. I felt bad though how couldn't I? Me and Pete both loved people we can't have, of course I shouldn't say love. After harry basically told me to stay away from him trust me that's what I have been doing. With work and school especially I don't have time to deal with his dumb remarks about missing me but not being able to be around me.

Once I saw the entrance to our apartment I cringe slightly also noticing the landlords car outside, for weeks now he had been asking for the rent of course with mine and Pete's job how could we pay rent on time, it was such a hassle the only person I even liked in this little group was his daughter.

Clenching my fist and biting my tongue I enter our building preparing for the berating that follows.

"Azalea aren't you a sight for sore eyes." Our landlord says. He wasn't hot or anything not that it would it any better he was plump man who looked like he would end up in jail just for looking at you funny. I chuckle sarcastically, "how you been Tony." I respond, "hopefully better if you and your pal pay the rent" he complains

I inch towards my door, but steps in front. I sigh and look at him, "I'm starting to think me and Pete are your only source of income I mean you're lucky I don't report you to some HOSA or whatever because I mean the amount of leaky gas pipes you have is crazy." I begin to complain back, he backs off as soon as he hears HOSA. "Woah let's relax huh." He smiles, "here's the deal I'll give you two a week or two to pay rent if not though I don't care who you call I'm kicking you to the curb." He states.

"You got it Tony!" I wink as he walks into his apartment, i groan the second he's out of sight, before I could even open the door I hear a someone clearing their throat behind me. I turn and see his daughter, I didn't get anything bad from her I actually liked her which was weird considering I would kill her dad if it wasn't illegal.

"A-azalea, right?" She whispers. She was a cute girl, with blonde hair that didn't match her father's she was very petite and it was ironic that she was also short. I wasn't the best around awkward people I mean I had awkward moments myself especially around harry but I was a pretty loud person especially now in college you have to be if you want people to respect you or be friends with you.

"Yes" I smile at her, she smiles back, "sorry I know this is weird but Pete told me to leave you a message since you don't have phone service uh he told me to tell you he went to see something at Osborn towers." She explains. I let out a sigh, hopefully he would be able to convince harry to give us a few bucks for dinner at least if he's going to hang out with him.

I didn't even have to tell Pete anything about me and harry I just think he got the idea and stopped bringing him up to me unless it was urgent.

"Thanks a lot seriously." I put my hand on my heart, "anytime." She smiles. I feel like she has the hots for Pete which was extremely rare.

I enter our small apartment, hang up my bag and immediately go onto the couch and turn on the tv, before I could even relax and watch cartoons before starting my assignments I hear it.

"An explosion just happened a few minutes ago at Osborn tower, nothing reported so far but we have multiple people leaving the building as the fire begins to grow." A lady explains and the camera begins to turn towards the tower. I cover my mouth.

"Why does trouble follow you everywhere you go Pete?" I mumble to the screen. We both didn't have enough for our phones so I couldn't even call him what the hell was I supposed to do? Go all the way over there? Well it would be an excuse to see harry.. I immediately shake my head from that thought but he doesn't even want to see me!!

"We're getting reports that people have already seen Spider-Man in the fire rescuing people." The lady says.

This Spider-Man character was real interesting he popped out of nowhere and hate to agree with Harry's crazy idea as odd as it was seemed like he followed harry for what reason I didn't know.

"The fire doesn't seem to be stopping Spider-Man from saving as much people as he can." The women points the camera towards Spider-Man. The new always had an odd way of either painting spidey as a villain or superhero he was never either or.

I stare at the screen intensely, I didn't know what to do my feet were yelling at me to go, I needed to know Peter was okay and as much as I hate to admit it, harry too.

My heart sped up faster with every second of just sitting watching the tv, I wasn't sure what to do, I had to go see them, right?

Without thinking it I put my shoes back on and basically ran out the door.

I wasn't sure what I could even do to help, Spider-Man had it all handled but I couldn't wait for someone to tell me Pete had been hurt or something.

Even with everything harry had said to me I also needed to know he was okay.
