From The Dark | Peter Parker x OC ✔️

Chapter Forty-Six

A/N: Helloo amazing people

So quick heads up, this chapter has MAJOR SPOILERS FOR Far From Home and I'll put the spoiler starts and spoiler ends sign before and after the spoiler scene like last time. The scene is not particularly important to this chapter if you haven't seen the movie yet, but it is important to the future plot so I suggest that you come back and read it after you watch the movie.

Also, I know the chapter starts with the "it was just a nightmare" but the last chapter really happened and this chapter is a few days later. Just a little note to avoid confusion :)

And the song up there is a cover of this amazing song. You can play it while you read if you like, I would suggest playing it quietly so it seems that it's in the background. :)

A FEW DAYS LATER

Adelaide jolted awake with a gasp.

After her eyes adjusted to the dark, she realized that it had only been a really bad nightmare and she was still in her room.

There's no coming back from what you did.

She sighed, rubbing her face which was dotted with sweat. There was no way she would be able to sleep now, as much as she wanted to. It had been over a week since she had gotten to sleep. She felt like hell.

Things they'll do to you in hell when you get there, if you believe there is one.

She swung her legs over her bed, sliding her feet into her slippers and pulling a robe over her shoulders. She needed fresh air and a very strong cup of coffee to substitute for her lack of sleep. The teenager padded into the kitchen and started the coffee machine and quietly waited at the island for it to finish.

"Are you okay?" Adelaide had asked, watching the billionaire with worried eyes. They had been standing in his lab. He had been working on something, tinkering and Adelaide was standing a few feet away, not sure if she should reach out and comfort him.

"Yeah," he shrugged, "Why wouldn't I be? I'm fine."

"Okay..." she said quietly, turning away. "I'll be in my room if you need me." She hadn't believed him, obviously but if there was one thing she could relate to, it was pain.

And sometimes, when you were in pain, you just wanted to be left alone in your own misery.

"No, actually," he had said quietly, making her drop her hand from the door handle and turn around. He had been standing there, staring at the glass door behind her. He shrugged again, shaking his head. "I'm not fine...I...I miss her."

Adelaide bit her lip, feeling her eyes welling up.

"Tony..." she had whispered. He shook his head, waving his hand.

"I'll be fine, don't worry," he had said, "Oh she told me...she told me to tell you before she...none of this is your fault. It's me. I pushed her away."

"It's not your fault, Tony," she had said gently, fighting back tears.

"No, but it is. I never listened to her. I don't blame her for leaving. I actually judge her for not leaving me sooner."

"No you don't," she croaked. She had wanted to comfort him but she had been glued to her spot. She had seen his eyes when he looked at her, they were rimmed red and blinking back tears. They both just stared at each other, at a loss for words. Words didn't make easier, time did.
