Saving On Our Own | Book 1

Chapter 8

You quickly sped the the fire escape one level below Peter's window and climb up. You peek in his window and see Peter slouched over. His head in his hands and his shoulders shaking as sobs rack through his body. The sight breaks you and you start crying again. You slowly open his window and climb in quietly. You close the window and walk up to him. Only then does he notice that you're in his room, he doesn't question your quickness or how you got into his room. He just pulls you onto the bed and wraps his arms around you crying into your shoulder as you hold him. You run your hand up and down his back, attempting to calm him down.

"Its all my fault." He says, finally calming down.

"Don't say that. You know it's not true."

"But it is babe."

"Give me one good reason as to why its your fault." He stays silent. "See. Babe, you can't blame yourself for this."

"But..."

"No buts Peter. Now get some rest. I doubt you've slept since it happened."

"But..." you glare at him. "Fine. Will you lie with me though?"

"Of course Peter."

You suddenly woke from your phone ringing. "Hello?"

"Hey princess. I know I said that I'd give until a few days after your anniversary but Barnes escaped and we could really use a speedsters help."

"You just want my help so that way you can lock him up." You slowly get up, releasing yourself from Peter's grip and standing.

"Y/n..."

"No dad I'm not helping you lock him up. I still stand on Steve's side."

"Well Barnes is back on HYDRA mind set and if we don't stop him there aren't going to be a side to stand on because we're all dead." Tony shouts through the phone.

"Sorry, but until Steve calls and says he needs my help, I'm not leaving Peter's side until our agreed date." Right then you end the call.

"Babe? What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Nothings wrong. I just couldn't sleep." You say sitting beside him. "Go back to sleep love."

"I'm not tired. But I am hungry."

"Wanna go get some Thai? Or a couple sandwiches from Delmar's?  We might as well have a laid back date night since we're not gonna be in the mood to celebrate tomorrow."

"Why would we... oh... our anniversary is tomorrow. Right. I vote Delmar's then a movie, yea?"

"Perfect." You smile and follow him out the door.

"Do you have to go?"

"Yes. But I'll be back as soon as I can Pete. They can't keep me away forever."

"They better not. At least we still have tonight before you leave."

"Yep and I am all yours after we finish our homework." You walk into Peter's apartment and stop in your tracks. Peter keeps walking.

"Hey May."

"Hey. How was school you two?"

"It was okay. There's this crazy car parked outside." Peter looks over to see Tony sitting on the couch next to May.

"Oh, Mr. Parker. Y/n." Tony says turning to you.

"Uhm... What are you doing.. hey! Uhm, I'm Peter." Peter stumbles.
