Warning!!! This chapter includes a little bit of mature content. Not too mature but the kind where you would be uncomfortable to read it out loud!!!!

I wake up in my room, Mr Stark's people must've finished putting it all together. My white wrapped bed stood on a grey rug with little tables by its side. A full length mirror across the room with a big wardrobe next to it. Fairy lights hung behind my bedhead and hook for my bow and arrows hung by the door.  I roll over to grab my phone seeing messages from Peter, I smile remembering the events from last night. It didn't say anything special, he was just reminding me of the homework that was due tomorrow. I slip myself out from under the covers and put on the Spider-Man slippers that Peter had bought me last night on the way home. I grab my phone and walk out to the lounge room groggily, rubbing my eyes as I do so. As soon as I walk in Mr Stark asks me to come and look at something on the TV.

I walk over and rest my arms on the back of the couch and watch as he presses play on the news.

"Next we have some sad news for all you Spider-Man fans. Last night he was reportedly  getting close to a girl on a rooftop. These pictures show them cozying up together and sharing a kiss or two. Although our favourite Spider-Man now seems to be off the market I think we're all wondering who this mystery girl is."

He pauses it again on a photo of Peter and I kissing on the roof. I feel like my eyes are going to burst out of my head when he turns back to look at me.

"What were you thinking?" He asks

"I swear I completely forgot, I didn't mean to. I won't leave the complex I swear. I'm sorry Mr Stark." I say having my voice break in the middle of it.

"Luckily they can't see your face but you should have been more careful, not to mention the fact that you're kissing who I presume you know is Peter...not that I'm going to get into that right now" He says in his usual overpowering voice.

"I know you're not my daughter but I don't want you to dating someone else right now. I don't care that Peter is probably the best case scenario, it's not the right time for you." He says strongly.

"I'm sorry Mr Stark but you don't have control over that. You can't just tell me what I can't do when it has no effect on you." I say back raising my voice a little bit.

"Yes I can, do you know why? Because I don't want you to be hurt, and it seems like right now I am the only one that can tell you that." He shouts

"Whilst you are here you do not date anyone. Have I made myself clear." He shouts standing up.

"Peachy." I give a sarcastic smile and walk off back to my room, wiping a tear away from my cheek.

I slam my door behind me, locking it and getting changed quickly. I start messaging Peter angrily as I pack my backpack.

I throw my bag over my back and open my window, I jump down to the ground and start running to the train station
