Endure and Prevail | Peter Parker [DISCONTINUED]

twenty one | "kiss me"

"Missing someone is your heart's way of reminding you that you love them."

"They found her?  Is she okay?  Is she hurt?" Peter asked for the hundredth time as he sat in the backseat of the car, his Uncle Ben driving and his Aunt May next to him.  "I told you Peter, she's fine." She replied, trying to reassure her worried nephew.

"The hospital called us saying that she is completely fine." She added, reaching behind to grab Peter's hand, squeezing it comfortingly.

"Why did the hospital call us?" Peter questioned, putting emphasis on 'us'.  "Because on her documents we are listed as her emergency contact."  Peter nodded, shuffling in his seat but winced a bit when he felt a sharp pain shoot through his body. 

During the car ride to the hospital, Peter couldn't help but get lost in his thoughts about the negative things that could've happened to Rosie.  What if May was lying to him about her condition just so that she wouldn't hurt his feelings?  What if Rosie is so badly hurt that she lost her memory and doesn't remember him?  What if the Rosie he once knew isn't her anymore?

"Peter, honey?"  Peter was ripped from his thoughts by the sound of his aunt's soothing voice fill his ears.  "She's fine." She told him, giving him a soft smile before returning her gaze back to the road.

When they got to the hospital, Peter literally ran into the lobby, his eyes vigorously scanning the room for Rosie.  "Excuse me?" May went up to the front desk, Ben following behind her.  "What is Rosalinda Keyes's room number?  We are her emergency contact."  The lady nodded and tapped a couple things into the computer.  "She is in room A5."  The lady answered, pointing her finger down the hallway.  "She is in the fifth room on the right."

Peter ran off, leaving his aunt and uncle, eager to see Rosie again.  When he got to her room, Peter could feel his heart leap around in his chest at the sight in front of him.  His eyes landed on Rosie who was sitting straight up on a hospital bed, looking beautiful as ever in Peter's eyes.  "Oh thank god!" Peter gasped, running up and wrapped his arms around her, holding her close to his chest. 

"I missed you!" Tears pricked his eyes as he could hear her sob against his chest, his fingers running through her brunette hair.  "I missed you too." She cried, her arms securely around his neck.  "Are you okay?" Peter pulled away from her, his hands resting on her arms and his eyes scanning her body.  "Are you hurt anywhere?  Do you need a nurse right now?"  Rosie giggled, her hands going up to cup his face to force his brown eyes to meet her hazel ones.  "I'm okay, really.  I'm fine." 

Peter nodded, pulling her back into his arms, stuffing his face into the crook of her neck.  "I'm just happy you're okay." 

"Rosie?" The two teens pulled away from their embrace to turn and see May and Ben standing in the doorway.  "Valentina is here and she's talking to the police right now.  She doesn't know how long she's gonna be here so she asked us if we could take you back to our place for the night."
