Right In Front Of You (Peter Parker x Reader)

Flashback

Peter Parker sat in the backseat of his aunt's car waiting for his uncle to exit the bank so they could go home. He kicked his legs back and forth as he looked out his window with the assistance of his booster seat. He looked back towards the direction of the bank and noticed 3 men walk in, a duffel bag in hand. They were dressed in all black.

"Hey Aunt May?" Peter asked

"Yes?" She set down her book and looked back at Peter. His attention on the bank. His eyes widened. She looked towards where he was focused on and noticed the same thing through the clear walls. The three men who had walked into the bank now held guns up, clearly robbing the bank.

"Uncle Ben is in there!!" Peter yelled in panic

May quickly rummaged through her bag for her iPhone. She dialed 911 quickly and spoke to the receiver. Peter was intently looking at the scene occurring in the bank. He wished he hadn't. He couldn't hear what happened, he had only seen his uncle stand, raise his arms and most likely beg for mercy.

But heartless people don't have mercy.

Peter watched as his uncle fell to the ground, blood spilling from his chest. The young boy screamed. May looked back at the bank and saw the gruesome scene. She let out a sob. The three men exited the bank and ran into their getaway car. May fumbled with the door and opened it, running inside, Peter following close behind.

Another car pulled up and its occupants quickly exited. May and Peter knelt by Ben's body. "My husband!" May sobbed

"Uncle Ben!" Peter yelled. "Uncle Ben, please don't go.. Please, please I need you! Don't leave!"

A lady rushed towards us and quickly checked his pulse "Hi, I'm M/N (Mother's Name) L/N I'm a registered nurse. I heard gunshots and alarms so I came to see what I can do to help." The introduction was quick, of course under the circumstances. "Y/N honey?" Peter looked at the girl that stood behind her mother. She was his age.

"Yes mommy?" Y/N asked with a look of worry about what was happening.

"Please get the First Aid Kit from the car!" She said trying to give him CPR.

"Yes mommy!" She rushed out of the bank and rummaged through her mother's car. She stumbled back into the bank with the kit in her hands. She handed it to her mother and stood by the nearly dead body. She pulled out the materials, and began to clean the wound. She flipped him over to see if the bullet had exited his body. It had. That was good news at least. The bad news was he'd lost a lot of blood and there's a high chance the bullet hit a main artery.

"It's okay Peter.." Ben managed "It's my time.."

"Why do you have to go?" He asked, his voice cracking. "Why can't you stay with me and May!"

"Sometimes, the answer is right in front of you." Ben said before his breath hitched

The police and ambulance arrived. They pulled May aside to ask her questions but Peter stayed by his uncle. He felt the world slow down. The paramedics continued the CPR and after 20 minutes and no sign of breathing, they gave up. The last thing he heard was one paramedic call, "Benjamin Franklin Parker pronounced dead on June 26th at 12:04."

Then the world went silent. Peter felt nothing and everything all at once. He felt cold yet all too warm with anger. He felt extremely confused yet he understood everything all too well. He felt severely responsible yet he knew there was nothing he could do to save him.

Then he felt something touch his shoulder. His world swirled back into place. He heard the sirens of the police cars and he saw the bank illuminated by light. He looked at the hand on his shoulder and saw it belonged to Y/N. She had witnessed everything he had. But she didn't feel what he felt.

"I'm so sorry.. Are you okay?"

Peter looked down then he shook his head and suddenly tears began to pour from his eyes.

"You look like you need a hug..." Y/N saw the sorrow in the poor boy's eyes

He rapidly nodded and ran into her arms. He didn't know her. He knew her name and that was it. But he needed comfort, and she was willing to provide it. And he appreciated it more than anything.

Little did he know he'd still think about her comfort years later.

hi there! this is my first wattpad story so if it's not that great that's the reason. also, some things won't be accurate according to the comic books/movies for the sake of the story so i just though i'd let you know. and yes indeed the peter parker in this story will be depicted as the peter parker tom holland has performed as. i'd also like to say the date of his death was completely random because none of the research gave a specific date :/
