The next day, I woke up feeling dizzy, probably because I slept late and woke up way too early in the morning. It was hard for me to fall asleep last night, since Peter's words still stuck to my head like super glue.
"I love you."
I hate to admit this, but I actually really wanted to hear those words from him for some time, and when he actually said it...well, things just happened way too fast, yet it was enough for butterflies to erupt in my stomach. Gosh, I became way too soft after everything that's happened between Peter and I. I've actually opened up to someone. But when he said it, it seemed rushed.
What if he just said it because that was the first thing that came into his mind? I mean, how could he leave me there, right after saying that?
I don't think he realizes what effect that gave to me, though I couldn't blame him, since he's probably trying to figure out how he really feels, just like I did, but after all the things that has happened, I've confirmed and fully accepted that I'm in love with Peter, but I'll only admit that when...the right time comes.
Though who the hell would know when that time would come? I guess I'll know when I do it.
Anyway, my dizziness started getting worse by the minute, especially since I'm overthinking things. I also realized that I'm home alone, since my mom and dad went to work.
I decided to open the group chat on my phone that Ned created for Peter, him, and I months ago, but I never bothered using it until I was actually close enough to them.
One Loser, One Weirdo, and One Normal Guy
The group name always gets me to crack up. Ned's idea of describing the three of us was nearly correct, except for Ned's. He's anything but that.
Going back on topic, I sent them a message.
MJ: Can you guys come over? I'm not feeling well
Peter and Ned both replied instantly.
Peter: What's wrong?
Ned: When my stupid phone buzzed and woke me up early I got annoyed, but now I'm actually worrying about you
When I saw that Peter was worrying about me, I sighed in content, feeling nice that he genuinely cares about me.
I laughed at Ned's message though, but who would find Ned not funny anyway?
I gave them a quick reply, feeling the throbbing headache feel worse.
MJ: I think I have a fever or something. Just come over, my parents aren't home so you won't be interrogated anymore Peter
Both boys gave a similar reply.
Peter: May is letting me go. I'm going now
Ned: My mom let me go too, be there in 10
I felt happy and lucky that I had good friends like them.
While waiting, I tried to force myself to stand, or at least sit upright on the bed, otherwise my head might feel worse. I took my water bottle on my bedside table, and nearly drank the entire bottle. I really wanted to read a book right now, but I thought that it would make me feel worse, so I just took the remote and turned on the tv, also while using my phone.
~~~
A few minutes later, Ned and Peter came into my room without knocking, shocking me, and causing me to drop my phone on the bed. Ned chuckled at my actions, while Peter just looked at me with worry. After Peter nudged Ned's shoulder lightly, he cleared his throat and stopped laughing, and both of them approached me. Peter put his hand on my forehead, looking me right in the eyes, while Ned was just sitting on the floor, looking like he was waiting for Peter to tell him what to do to help me get better.
"You're heating up." Peter said, removing his hand from my forehead, and he turned to look at Ned.
"You got the medicine, right?" He asked Ned, and he nodded, took something from his bag, and gave it to Peter.
"I brought some food, so after you eat, you can drink this so you'll feel better, okay?" Peter explained, and all I did was nod, then he sighed and opened his backpack. He took out three lunchboxes, and handed one each to Ned and I, while keeping the other one for himself. I opened the lunchbox to see two pancakes, bacon, and and an egg.
"Thanks, guys. But you didn't have to do all this--" Ned suddenly cut me off.
"We wanted to, cause you're our friend." I smiled at him and he smiled back, then he started eating some of the pancake.
"You'll be more than my friend soon." Peter winked at me with a smirk, and I rolled my eyes at him.
"Yeah, whatever." I took the utensils that were also inside the lunchbox, then I started eating, with a bit of difficulty because I was extremely dizzy by now, but I tried eating anyway.
Peter took notice of my struggle, so he stopped eating and took my own utensils, using it to slice a bit of pancake, and put the fork with some pancake in it, right in front of my mouth. I shook my head at him.
"I can do it myself." He sighed and still put the fork in front of my mouth.
"You're struggling, MJ. My meal can wait a little longer, and besides, you're the one who's sick."
"Yeah, but--"
"Stop being stubborn for once and let me take care of you, okay?" He said softly, looking me in the eyes, and I couldn't say no anymore.
"Okay." He put the food in my mouth slowly, and I ate it, when suddenly, we heard a snap.
"You're seriously taking a picture right now?" Peter asked, and Ned nodded with a smile.
"That was a cute moment that needs to be remembered." Even though he sort of ruined the moment, he had a point. That was a cute moment between Peter and I, and what if our mind doesn't remember this in the future? At least if we had a picture, we could always see it and look back at it.
We'd look back to the beautiful memories we made. Not just the ones with Peter, but the ones with Peter, Ned and I.
Our trio.
A/N: This is one of the cutest and sweetest chapters I've written here. I feel like I'm gonna cry though, cause the Infinity War part is coming really soon. And not only that, but this story is going to end soon, and I know it's really fast and quick, but I'm quite proud of myself with how I did on this story. I decided to make this story while I still had a lot of summer left, and I had about a bit more than a month to finish this, and I'm actually doing good. By far, this is probably my favorite story, cause it actually fit my expectations, and though I love my other stories as well, they didn't quite fit my expectation well. But I'm proud of all of my stories, though this is the best and my favorite so far. Thanks for reading!
