Chapter #09 - Sparring

Scarlet Spider's POV.

I'm a good lier. I'm such a good lier that I sometimes forget that I'm lying. Forget that I am the Scarlet Spider. I was just gossiping about myself. I just told [y/n] that Scarlet needs to talk. That I need to talk. Only because I've forgotten that I'm lying. I've forgotten that I am lying. I've believed in my own lie. It was a good thing back when I was a spy, but now? Now it's just making it all harder. I just got my life more complicated. Congratulations for me! How is it possible to forget that you're lying?! Now I've just messed up. She'll text me. Or maybe she won't. I hope she won't. That would be so awkward if she did. But I think she won't. I think...

My phone moved and there was messenger sound. She texted. I slowly picked phone up. Maybe I should ignore her? No, I got myself into this mess, I sure had a reason. Maybe different reason than forgetting that I'm lying. Actually, I do feel guilty. Maybe it was my mind crying out for help? Am I really this desperate? I... I should text her back. It looks like I need it and I know it deep inside. I sighed.

Hi

How are you?

Are you there?

Scarlet Spider?

What do you want, punk?

I wanted to text

Ben told me something

About you

I mean not in a bad way

I mean

What have he told you?

That you're not okay

?

What do you mean by not okay?

I mean that you need to talk

?

I don't

U do

I mean you

Sorry for using shortcuts

But it doesn't change the fact that you need to talk

If you want someone to listen then tell me

I don't need to

Are you sure?

I got worried when he told me

I don't

Need

A talk

Seriously

Please

Or actually, just do what you want

I sighed. I'm slowly forgetting again. I gotta remember. I want to talk. No, I don't. But I need to. I have to admit it to her. Otherwise she'll just leave. I sighed again.

I need to talk

But I don't want to bother you

You probably have stuff to do

Actually, I don't

And I don't want you to be down

So if it will help just tell me

Or tell me what to do to help

I think I can tell you

But I don't think that you'll understand
