Michelle pov
"It's time for you to let go babygirl." My dad whispered as I hugged him tightly.
"I don't want to daddy" I said holding him tighter.
"But I'll be harder if I stay" he said rubbing my hair soothingly.
"I want to be here with you forever" I cried.
"I already am. I've been with you since the very beginning, and I've never left. I'm with you wherever you go baby" he said.
"I killed you, it's my fault. I'm so sorry" I said crying into his shoulder.
"I gave my life so you could have one. You have to accept my choice. Stop carrying a burden that's not yours to carry." He whispered
"I don't wanna go" I sobbed.
"And I can't let you stay. I love you baby" he said kissing my head.
I woke up gasping for air. A lot of doctors were looking down at me with utter shock and relief.
"Miss Jones you're okay, you're okay" one of them said, while others rushed in.
"I–wh–" I utter out incoherent words.
"Inform Mr.Stark that the patient is stable, that we've stabilized her." The doctor said as one of the nurses rushed out of the room
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?
It must have been at least an hour before the doctors left me alone.
A nurse was left in my room for personal assistance.
"Ma'am would you care to explain what happened to me?" I asked softly.
"Oh honey, you had an allergic reaction to the tranquilizer we gave you. You stopped breathing for over a minute, we thought we lost you" the nurse informed.
"I–I– died?" I asked I looked at her in disbelief.
"Yes sweetheart, but you'll alright now. Let me know if you feel strange so we can take care of you immediately" She said.
"Am I allowed visitors?" I asked.
"Not tonight sweetie, Doctor has requested you to be in intensive care for tonight, no visitors are allowed, we don't want you to get overwhelmed by emotions. We want you to try relaxing and resting" she said.
"What about tomorrow?" I asked.
"We will see" she said smiling sweetly.
•••••••••••••
I woke to soft whispers outside my door.
"Good morning Michelle, how are you feeling today?" The doctor asked walking in.
"I feel like shit" I said rolling my eyes.
"Fair enough. Are you feeling any pain?" He asked.
"My leg is killing me and head hurts" I told him.
"We will give you some medication for that right away" he said.
"Can I see my family now?" I asked.
"Yes. I will let them know that they're allowed to see you now. I'll be back" he said.
Not even a minute later I heard the door slam open with my crying mother rushing to my side.
"Thank you thank you thank you" my mother whispered hugging my to her chest.
"I'm sorry mom" I whispered.
"Don't you ever apologize to me Michelle Jones." My mother said sternly looking me in the yes before she hugged my tighter.
"I never meant to scare you." I said.
"You can't apologize for things that are out of your control baby." She wiping her tears and smiling at me.
"I'm just thankful that I have you here. That's all I care about" she said.
"I'm glad I'm here too" I said.
"I left your brother with Andreé's family. I didn't want him anywhere near this" My mom informed.
"That's for the better. He's too small." I said smiling.
"I'll go ask the nurse to bring you some food" she said getting up from my bed, before she walked away I grabbed her hand
"I love you" I told her.
"I love you with all my heart baby!" She said kissing my head and walking out with more tears down her face.
Peter and Ned walked in after my mother walked out.
Both of them hugged me leaving my completely shocked. We've never really been the group of friends that show affection.
"We are so glad you're okay MJ" Ned was the first to speak after they pulled away.
"Thank you Ned" I said smiling softly.
"You're not allowed to scare us like that ever again. I cried MJ. I cried." Ned emphasized looking at me.
"You? Cried? And for ME? Wow Ned I'm something special!" I said laughing lightly.
"You are MJ. You mean a great deal to the both of us" he said looking at me.
"Why are you so quiet loser?" I asked looking at Peter.
"I–I–we though we lost you Michelle." Peter said refusing to look at me with a serious face, disappointment and anger overtaking his features.
"Hate to break it to you loser, but you're stuck with me remember?"I said chuckling.
"I'm sorry I can't do this.." Peter said looking at Ned and walking out.
"Parker" I called out to him but he was gone before I got my words out
"It's not you MJ. It's hard for him seeing you like this. His parents, his uncle, it's difficult for him. He thought you were gone, we all did. Your heart stopped, you have a bruised face, with stitches and a broken leg. He hates seeing people he cares about in pain. It's better to let him walk away" he explained softly.
Seeing Ned so heartbroken over Peter made my heart hurt even more.
"Well he's luck he got a friend like you to count on. I won't kick his ass...this one time..." I said light heartedly.
"Thanks MJ. I'm his hero" he said smirking.
"I'm sure you are Ned. I mean it" I said looking at him and smiling.
"Smiling is my favorite look on you MJ" Ned said smiling
"Yeah well don't get use to it, I'll ware off along with these drugs in my system" I said.
"I'll ask them to add them to your medication prescription then" he said laughing.
" Very funny Ned. I'm laughing so hard my stomach hurts" I said glaring at him.
"You gotta admit it was pretty smooth"he said.
"It was alright" I said smiling.
"You don't think Peter is mad at me do you?" I asked out of nowhere.
"Mad at you? For what?"he asked confused.
"At the accident. All the chaos that I've made" I said.
"Trust me,if he's looking for someone to blame it won't be you he'll think about" Ned said.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Peter has a tendency to blame himself for things that aren't his fault. Things that are out of his control. He will find a way to let the guilt creep in and carry it when it's not his burden to carry" Ned said looking down sadly.
"Looks like we have a lot more in common than I thought" I whispered softly.
"And no matter how many times you tell him to let it go, he will hold on to it like his life depends on it" Ned finished.
"And I'm holding on right along with loser" I whispered sadly.
