Guardians of my Heart (xReader)

Chapter 23

One more week. Seven days.

It's Friday and I'm sitting at lunch with Peter, Ned and MJ.

"Are you going to Liz's party tonight?" Ned asks.

"I don't know. She doesn't really like me." I reply and eat my sandwich.

"Oh come on. Everyone will be there. Even MJ said she'll come."

"Will I?" MJ asks and takes a bite of her sandwich as well.

Ned rolls his eyes.

"Come on guys. It'll be fun. And it's kind of like a goodbye party as well. For y/n and-"

"Yeah let's go!" Peter squeaks and kicks Ned from under the table. What is that about?

"Ugh... alright we'll go. But I can't promise I'll stay long." I give in.

"Awesome!" Ned smiles.

"I can wear my hat for this special occasion. It'll give me confidence." He says proudly.

"I'll wear sweatpants." I say and everyone looks at me in shock. Even MJ.

"Oh my god guys, I'm joking." I roll my eyes.

"No seriously please wear something nice. If we're going to make this a goodbye party for you then you should wear a dress or something." Ned demands.

"Definitely not. I'll wear pants and a shirt. Something casual. Not a dress."

"Fine. But dress nicely!" Ned orders.

Wanda and Natasha help me pick out an outfit. I decide to wear one of Nat's leather skirts and a nice top from Wanda. I take my dagger with me. Just in case. I hide it under my shirt.

Wanda does my makeup again although I complain the whole time.

Peter picks me up and Happy drives us to Liz's house.

People are standing outside and you can hear music playing.

We walk towards the house and get inside. There are a lot of people. They're drinking and dancing.

"Hey guys! I'm so glad you came. Pizza and drinks are over there." Liz greets us politely.

"Hey Liz! Thanks. Have you seen Ned or MJ?" Peter asks.

"No. They're probably not here yet." She says and starts walking away but I grab her arm.

"How are you? We haven't really talked after what happened at Homecoming."

"I'm fine. Flash will be here tonight. It's fine." She lies but her eyes tell the truth.

"If you want I can make sure he'll leave before he even steps into the house." I suggest.

"No. People would get suspicious. Just... don't talk to him or anyone about this okay? Please." She begs and I nod, defeated.

She leaves and just on cue Flash walks through the door.

"Come on Peter let's get some drinks." I start pulling him towards the kitchen.

Luckily Liz has alcohol. I don't think I could survive tonight without it to be honest.

I mix some Captain Morgan with Coke for Peter and me.

Ned and MJ arrive shortly after Flash and a while later a bunch of people want to play a game.

"Let's play seven minutes in heaven." Flash suggests with a grin.

"What's that? Is it a game where you're dead for seven minutes? So you're in heaven?" I whisper to Peter and he chuckles.
