"You can't be serious" I say unable to comprehend my father's words. I stare at him, his face was serious, telling me he wasn't joking. Not even in the slightest. "I am very serious Makayla, if this mission interferes with your mental and emotional health...Then it's not worth it" he states
I can feel the tears starting to form in my eyes but I hold then back
"But dad!" I yell "I worked so hard, I trained every day" I look at Chris for some kind of support.
"Chris you can't let him do this" Chris opens his mouth to speak but my dad swiftly interrupts him.
"It's not Chris' decision and I already told you. The plan is over"
I'm in despair, I'll never get to catch Peter or ever get revenge on him. "So how do you plan on catching Peter without me?" I ask trying not to let my voice crack.
"We will figure it out" he says plainly, not a hint of remorse or sympathy in his voice. How could he do it? He can't just make a decision like this. I try not to let my anger show, I've never lashed out at my parents so I don't intend to start today. I take a deep breath, I needed to show him that I was mature and that I could handle something like this. Crying now would just worsen the situation.
"Fine" I huff, both Chris and my dad look puzzled at my reaction.
This was perfect, I did the exact opposite of what they expected me to do. Our food arrives and I eat it all. Soon it is almost evening and we leave the restaurant as pink and orange hues start to appear in the blue sky. Chris doesn't say a word to me, and I say nothing to him. My dad says nothing as well and we all sit in silence as we drive home.
I pull out my phone and see that I got a message from Layla, we haven't spoken in forever. I open the chat and see....
Layla: Where the heck have you been?
Kayla: What do you mean?
Layla: I mean...I missed you bestie :(
Kayla: I missed you too
Layla: What are you up to this weekend?
Kayla: Nothing much, I'm so bored....
Layla: My aunt is having a party thing and I wanted to invite you
Kayla: Can Chris come?
Layla: Sure, it's next weekend Xavier will pick everybody up at 10
Kayla: Ok
I turn off my phone as we pull up to the house. I still feel bad about not being able to tell my friends about the thing with Peter, it feels like I'm not being totally honest with them. Maybe I should try to forget that it ever happened, I'll never get justice for what he did.
I get out of the car and slam the door shut, I go inside, leaving Chris and dad behind. "Hi mom" I say plainly as I walk upstairs. "Hi honey" she says warmly. I go into my room and change into something more comfortable, an oversized hoodie and some shorts. I open my laptop, seeing that Layla was online, I video called her. "Hey" I say
"Hey girly" she smiles. I notice that Xavier is next to her, sleeping soundly.
"Ohhh...I see what's going on here" I say slowly.

Romance"Why did you kiss him?" His eyes seemed distant, much unlike his familiar Hazel eyes were a few seconds ago. "Since when do you care who I kiss?" "I don't" he said. It felt like all the butterflies had just died, leaving me with only a faint memory...
