Welcome home Spider-man

Chapter 19:

~Sage's POV~

Peter sleeps soundly as I sit by my window gazing up at the black sky. I have peter back yet I still feel this emptiness inside. It's almost like this pit of darkness that keeps growing, never stopping no matter what it consumes in its path. There is only pain. Even with Peter here I feel alone. I am alone.

It's funny or ridiculous to some or most but losing Luka was my final dissent into madness. He was my guardian angel and now I'm here on earth all alone. My mom is gone, dad is gone, Luka's family is gone, now so is my Luka. It's just me and it hurts so damn much, almost like I can't breath. The pain he felt...and I wasn't there to take it away.

Tears race to my eyes as I feel every inch of my heart break all over again. I feel as if I can't be fixed. There is no amount of tape, glue or whatever else used to fix things to mend this heart. One day Peter will walk out that door and never come back. He is the only thing I have left here. The only one who cares.

~Peter's POV~

My hand grazes the place beside me looking for a sign of Sage, only I come across an empty space. Slowly my eyes open and look around for her. Small sniffles catch my attention. There she sits, alone by the window crying. "Sage?" She doesn't look at me. "Sage what's wrong?" "I have lost everyone Peter. I'm alone here."

I throw the blankets off and go to her. "That's not true, I'm here." "But for how long Peter?" Her eyes then meet mine. I see just see the pure pain she is in. "Everyone leaves Peter. Why do you think I stayed with Chance for so long? I stayed so I wouldn't be alone. I stayed because he saved me and I owed him my life. There is this strained silence that fills the apartments.

"I am not going to leave you, not again." She just stand and looks me dead in the eyes. There is no more sparkle or warmth to them, only pain. "I shouldn't be afraid to love you. I shouldn't be afraid to let you in but I did it. Eventually you will just disappear just like the others." I cup her face in my hands. "Stop, you stop it right now. I'm not going anywhere Sage. I couldn't just leave you because I love you!" Her eyes slightly widen. "I love you. I don't care about the wrong you have done or what you are. Everything is in the past now. I know you are hurting extremely bad right now and I wish I could take that pain away. If I had the power to then I would. You are not alone. You have Ned, your friends, but more importantly you have me."

Her eyes stop shedding their tears as I pull her close. "Everything will work itself out. We are going to be okay." She hugs me tightly making me wince a little. "Oh I'm sorry" she says sensing my pain. "Haha it's okay. It was a good pain." She just smiles and me and pecs my lips.

I watch as she bites her lip and slowly walks back to bed, stopping every so often to see if I'm watching. Sage smiled when she sees that I am and crawls in bed. God she drives me crazy. I decide to join her in bed after trying to calm myself for a minute, it didn't work. Gently I crawl into bed and kiss her neck, sucking on her silky soft skin.

This small moan slips though her lips as she throws her head back. As if by some mysterious force my hands grip her hips. Eventually they trail up and down her body even slipping between her legs once or twice. She tried so hard to be quiet but I wanted her to be loud.

"Does that feel good" I growl in her ear. A small moan is her only response. "Answer me" I growl even deeper. "Yes" she says breathlessly. Suddenly there is a knock on the on the door. We both jump up, silence once again filling the room. She goes to get up but I grab her arm pulling her back on the bed. "Peter it's okay, I got this." "No I'm not letting you. It's dangerous and you could get hurt."

"Peter listen to me" her voice is more stern then before. "Chance probably told the pack about you." Another knock. "They will kill you if they find you. Go hide." "But." She spins around giving me the look of death. I nod and head for the window, clinging to the building in the cool New York air in my boxers.

Slowly I peek around the corner to see what's happening. That's when I noticed something glistening in her hand. I watch nervously as she presses a gun to the back of the door. My breath hitches in my throat as my heart races. Carefully she opens the door to reveal a young man, a boy really. She slowly removes the gun after a minute and lets him in.
