Temptation

I

Peter watched as the tree's passed by. One by one fading into nothing but a tiny little speck. Until that too was gone. The young adult never had good vision anyways. And May still paid for contacts.

The doe-eyed adult felt his elbow dig into the seat of the car. The bone felt lodged in, like he wouldn't be able to get it out. Peter wondered how food could make you strong, but weak at the same time.

It was called tough love for a reason. It's the reason why he was heading towards a crazy house instead being safely tucked in bed. Watching vine videos on YouTube. Being able to work from home, locked in a dark bedroom where no one could laugh.

May sighed and glanced at her nephew, "You'll love it they have T.V., friendly faces."
"No WiFi, everyone is like in their eighties." Peter rolled his eyes. "This isn't the first time I've done this."

"Yes but, it's the first time since you've been an adult. C'mon! It won't be that bad. Give it a chance." May nudged the male.

"Yeah, yeah, it'll be the same. Hopefully, no crazy chick will try to rip out my hair though." Peter muttered under his breath.
"It's for your own good. We tried everything to get you to eat. Why don't you just eat?" May asked, her voice cracking.

"You wouldn't understand!" Peter nearly shouted.
"Try me! I've done everything I could to try! Therapy! Books! Group homes! You just won't talk! Why won't you talk?" May screamed, jerking the car a little.

Peter jumped in his seat and stayed silent as he stared through the window. A medium sized house with lots of glass windows came into view. The grass was movie green with neatly trimmed bushes and tall trees.

A perfect dollhouse to hide all the crazy.

"How long am I staying here now?" Peter questioned not moving from his spot.
"Until your completely better." May answered getting out of the car.

They entered the building with Peter slouching with a grim expression. May held her head up high as she walked to the sign-in sheet on the receptionist desk.

"Hello, I'm Sam Wilson. Are you Peter Parker?" A dark-skinned male walked in with a smile. Peter felt his stomach turn.
"Yeah." The younger male whispered.

"Great, you're his Aunt right? Just sign him in and we'll take care of him. You can't visit him for at least three weeks and we'll have to check their his bags. No electronics. And we have a house phone you can call." Sam explained right off the bat.

Peter was slightly impressed. The man covered the ground very quickly.
"Right." May nodded and took the blue pen into her hand and signed the sheet.

"I'll get your things." May said walking back out.
Sam turned to Peter the smile never leaving his face, "Would you like to meet everyone? Or get settled in first?" Sam questioned.

"Settled in, if you don't mind." Peter replied, playing with the edges of his sweater.
"Of course. Follow me."
