Tom Holland Imagines

Towers // Peter Parker

~

Today in Queens, New York, it is cloudy. I can feel the sprinkles of the water droplets hitting my face, not bothering me at all because I actually do kinda like the rain. I had my hands inside the pockets of my coat and my ear buds in to block out the wind, the car noises, and people. Towers by Little Mix came on and I slowed down my pace as this is the song I listened to a year ago.

A year ago I was dating this guy Peter, Peter Parker. He is/was the school's nerd. He is sweet, smart, good-looking, & was a good guy.. to others. When we first met and started dating we were both hitting it off well. He made efforts to see me everyday and talk to me, he would always say cute yet nerdy stuff to me that made my heart skip, he was always jittery whenever I was around or whenever he saw me, and he would just make me smile. But after dating for 2 months that all started to go away.

He started to become busy, he started keeping secrets from me, Ned would push me away whenever I tried to talk to him (even when it wasn't about Peter), Peter would also push me away by adding a little attitude in the mix, and he would not talk to me even if I was there. I didn't walk out once it was happening because I thought it was just me over exaggerating, but once I noticed he was giving Liz Allan the heart eyes again, I knew it was time for me to go.

I'm not gonna lie, I love him I always will because he is my first boyfriend and the first guy to ever make me feel the way he did, but he hurt me terribly. Whenever I see him in school I kinda freeze and low key want to get back together with, but I remember all the pained he cause me so I gather enough strength to walk past by him with a straight face. He has texted me a few times where I would slowly take him back but when I would see that it was just a joke to him and he didn't take it seriously, I would start pull myself away.

I felt my phone buzz and I looked down to see who's it from.

Peter
Hey.

I sighed and turned off my phone, tugging my coat closer. Not today.

The next day I went to school and just held my head down. Again I had my earbuds in and again Towers by Little Mix came on. I sighed and suddenly bumped into someone, quickly apologizing.

"Don't be sorry Y/n."

I looked up to see Peter and he smiled, holding my arms. I blinked and stared at him for a second. Even though I will always love him, my heart just didn't feel anything that made me want him again. I pulled myself away from his grip and walked off while running my hand into my hair. As I walked away I got flashbacks to when we fought because I would always ask questions and sighed when I realized I was the only one who cared.

I cried so many nights asking where it went wrong. I thought it was me for a while but then I realized it wasn't. As I walked down the halls, Liz stopped me by showing me a flyer.

"The school's talent show! You should sing Y/n you have beautiful voice and I think it could be useful for us."

I looked at the flyer and then at Liz, pursing my lips, "only if I get the closing number."

"Perfect! Just sign here."

I took the pen out of Liz's hand and signed my name into a slot. I handed Liz the pen back and she smiled, then looked behind me.

"Oh hey Peter."

I slightly rolled my eyes when I heard him say hey back and walked off, putting in my earbuds again.

When I got home, I quickly changed and started to do my hair and minimal of make up. Liz forgot to tell me that the talent show was tonight and that I needed to send in the instrumental right away. I figured I would sing Towers since it's a song I've been listening to for a while (and because it just keeps coming up) so I thought why not.

When I got to the school my parents gave me a kiss on the cheek before telling me to break a leg and do great up there. I wore a black long dress that was see through on top where the shoulders are, see through on the middle where my stomach is, and see through at the bottom where it's showing my legs, its a beautiful dress and my hair was curled and moved to the side.

As I walked back stage, Liz greeted me by telling me I looked gorgeous and that I should wait here til it was my turn. Half the people where horrible and half the people weren't bad at all. When it was my turn to shine, Liz went on stage with a huge smile on her face.

"And now for the closing number.. let's give it up for Y/n Y/l/n!"

I walked onto the stage and immediately saw some familiar faces. In the back row were my parents and in the middle I saw Ned, Michelle, and Peter. Pete grinned and my smiled slightly went away, so I pursed my lips and faked the rest of my smile.

The beginning of Towers came on and I started to sing, looking at everyone in the room. The lights dimmed, not letting me see everyone anymore but I could still see Peter clear as day. I held the mic stand steady with my finger tips and then closed my eyes as I started to feel every word of the song touch my heart.

"When you're close I wanna change my mind but I remember you and what we're like I don't wanna let you waste my time."

I opened my eyes when I slightly finished that verse and looked around, still looking at Peter. I took a deep breath and continued.

"And you never brought me flowers never held me in my darkest hours and you left it so late that my heart feels nothing nothing at all!- Once we were made like towers! Everything could've been ours! But you left it too late now my heart feels nothing nothing at all!"

I hit that high note with every emotion and hurt I had in me and I heard everyone cheer and clap as I sang that. My hand went up to my heart and I clenched my fist, closing my eyes tight.

"Once we were built like towers nothing at all We were built like towers."

I opened my eyes and tears fell out of them, I looked at Peter with a stern face and finished the song.

"Now my heart feels nothing at all."

The dress:

By the way this song has a very personal meaning to me, so I decided to make an imagine about it. It's not related to what I'm going through (the song kinda is) but the imagine isn't. I hope you liked it.
