Through it All

Chapter 2

         I followed Liz into the hallway and she stood in front of me.
         "Y/N! I was in gym today, and I asked one of my friend to go ask Peter if he liked you. When she came back, guess what she said?!" Liz was practically jumping.
          "What?" I asked, fearing the answer.
          "He told my friend to tell me that he said yes!" she squealed, "I knew it!" My mouth hung open in surprise. My heart pounded, my mind raced a thousand miles a minute. I slip down the wall, holding my head. By brain just couldn't retain the information it was receiving.
       "Y/N!" Liz whisper shouted. I looked up at her. She jerked her head towards the lunchroom door. Peter was being pushed towards us by Ned.
        Oh no. I thought. Now things will be awkward between us. I decided to just be myself. I took a deep breath and stood up.
        "Y/N, you'll be fine." Liz muttered, "See ya later." She walked back towards the lunchroom, beckoning Ned to follow.
         "H-hi, Peter." My voice cracked a little. He rubbed the back of his neck.
         "Hello." Peter said. I tried to calm down, but my heart wasn't letting me. My phone buzzed.
         "I'm sorry, I have to go." I whispered. Peter grabbed my wrist and I turned to face him.
        "Y/N, please stay." Peter pleaded. My phone buzzed again.
         "I'm sorry." I stated again. I released myself from his grasp softly and headed down the hallway.
        Peter's P.O.V.
       I slowly walked back to the lunchroom, wondering why Y/N said that. Liz said that she liked me. Why would she run? Just thinking about her made my heart flutter.
        "Peter!" Ned approached me, "Where's Y/N?" I shook my head.
        "She said she had to go. I guess she doesn't like me." I whispered the last part so Ned didn't hear.
         "Oh, I'm sorry, bro. She'll come around. You'll see." Ned assured me. I glanced back and saw Y/N leaning against the wall, her forehead on her knees. She looked upset, sad even. When she lifted her head, she was crying. She held her phone in her hands.
         "Be right back." I said to Ned. I walked towards Y/N and sat down beside her, "You okay, Y/N?"
         "No." she sniffed and the tears kept coming.
         "What happened?" I questioned.
         "My aunt had a baby, and I got a call from my mom that as my uncle was driving them home, they got in a car wreck. No one survived." Y/N began to cry harder. Without knowing, she leaned her head on my shoulder. I looked down at her H/C hair and slowly wrapped my arm around her. She flinched only once, but soon relaxed.
        "It will be okay." I whispered. I looked down at my watch and when I looked up again, Y/N was glancing at me with her beautiful, E/C eyes.
        "Better?" I asked. She nodded. I helped her up and walked her to her locker.
        "Thank you." Y/N said. I smiled.
        "You're welcome. If you ever need anything, just tell me." I assured her. She smiled.
          "Okay, I will. Bye, Peter." Y/N said as the bell rang. I hurried to my locker, convinced that my face was a bright red. Although she just lost some of her family, my lips were curled in a smile.
~~~ Time Skip ~~~
       "Hey, Y/N?" I asked as I stood by her locker after school.
       "Yes?" she replied, looking at my with those sparkling E/C eyes.
       "C-can I walk you home?" I questioned. She nodded and I smiled. On the way to her house, she stopped.
       3rd Person P.O.V.
       Y/N held her hand out to stop Peter from walking further.
       "Something is coming." she whispered.
        "Who?" Peter muttered.
        "I don't know." she began and turned her head back, "Run." Peter looked at her confused.
         "Run! Run!" Y/N exclaimed. Peter began to run, not daring to look back. He heard yelps and stopped. When he looked back, he saw a man wearing black clothing stuck in a block of ice.
         "Y/N?" Peter inquired.
         "What?" Y/N replied,  out of breath.
         "Do you have powers?" Peter quizzed, his chocolate brown eyes wide.
         "No." she started, "I know someone." After Y/N caught her breath, they continued towards her house, not saying a word.
