Y/N's POV
The sun was beginning to set and I could barely walk anymore, Peter can't be dead. He can't. All of our memories flashed before my eyes. From when we first met, our first day of school, meeting Ned, his parent's death, endless Star Wars marathons. I could feel my heart-shattering.
I kept on walking down the hill trying to see, but my eyes were covered in tears. My ankle throbbing, and my cut beginning to stain my clothes. I then started to hear something following me, but I was probably just being paranoid. Then it sounded like whatever was following was getting closer, I started to walk even faster it could be a bear!
Suddenly there was a loud bang, and crashing behind me. I turned around to see something rolling down the mountain towards me. Maybe it was someone? I began to run until I could barely see it anymore until it made a familiar noise. I turned back to see what almost looked like Peter standing up from falling.
"P-Peter?" I questioned.
"Y/N?" he answered as he began to run in my direction. "Y/N!"
I also ran/limped towards him and as soon as we reached each other I jumped into his arms kissing him. This was my first kiss, and I'm glad to say that it was Peter. It felt as though there were fireworks all around us and it was magical. When we finally pulled apart for air we looked at each other in the eyes and couldn't be any happier.
"I-I thought I'd lost you," I whispered. "Peter. I-I love you too."
"I'm so glad beautiful," he said before giving me another kiss, but this one was more like a peck and awkward, there's the Peter I know. "Now, let's go home."
We both began to walk towards the resort holding hands, as the music slowly got louder and louder. When we could finally see the resort in the distance we both began to run. I ran as fast as I possibly could with your leg in this shape but I didn't care anymore. We ran, and we ran, and we ran until we couldn't anymore.
We both made it to the beach and were looking around in every direction when we saw them sitting together on a chair by the water. May's eyes looked stained with tears, and Ben looked to be in horrible shape. We both ran up and stood in front of them. May's head slowly raised to see you and tears started streaming down her face.
"Peter? Y/N/N?" she whimpered.
"Oh my gosh," Ben added as they stood up pulling us both into a hug. All 4 of us stood there crying and hugging for what seemed like forever before Peter pulled away.
"I'm sorry," Peter said. "This is all my fault. If I wasn't late, then this would have never happened."
"Peter. It's not your fault, we should have waited with you, I'm sorry too." Ben consoled him.
"What even happened?" May questioned us. We then explained the whole adventure to her, not leaving any details out. Peter and I went and got cleaned up before dinner (including getting all stitched up) we all had the best night. Peter and I put on our swimsuits and lounged in the pool while a movie was projected onto a screen in front of us. It was so awesome to be like this after what happened.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First thing tomorrow morning we all went home early, after what happened, they didn't want to stay on the island. The whole boat ride you and Peter sat all tensed up but you somehow knew you'd be okay.
Once we got home, Peter took me to my mom to explain what happened and life was good there was only one more problem to deal with.
~~
"Peter I need to talk to you."
"So do I, but me first." Peter interrupted me getting down on one knee. "Y/N, after this adventure, I realized I can never live without you again. This is why I'm now asking you. Y/N will you be my girlfriend?"
"I-I can't."
"Wha-what?" he responded in shock, but he sounded more hurt than anything. "Why not?"
"I-I'm leaving next week," I told him. "I'm leaving for an exchange program in Paris."
"What," he said. "Why-why didn't you tell me."
"I don't, want to hurt you, and I didn't want to tell you in case we didn't make it back."
"Can't we still try?"
"No, Peter. That's not fair to you, you shouldn't be held back because I'm leaving."
"I'll wait. I'll wait for you to come home, just please say yes."
"I'm sorry Peter," I said as he left my apartment. I sat on my bed crying because I don't know how I'll cope if you leave, but you have to, it's been my dream. I'll even have the chance to perform while I'm there.
The last week of Christmas break went by really fast, Peter and I spent every lasting second together until I had to leave at the airport. My mom, Ben, May, and Peter all came to see me leave. Peter and I were together crying the whole time until I was called and had to say goodbye.
"Peter. I love you. But I have to go." I told him as he tried holding you back.
"I love you too Y/N, please don't leave."
"I have to." I said and began to walk away "Wait. Peter, I need to ask you something."
"Where were you before we missed the boat?"
"Oh. Well, you see. I'm Spiderman." he said with a wink.
"Yeah right, you're such a dork," I said as I ruffled his hair and kissed him one last time. "I love you, Peter."
"I love you too. Goodbye," he said as I turned to talk away.
"BYE Y/N!" Everyone shouted to me as I boarded the plane. I took my seat and couldn't help but cry. I'm not going to see any of them for at least 6 months, but everything will be okay. Won't it?
