Secrets 2.0 (Peter and Betty/Petty fanfiction)

Chapter 14

A/N

I've switched it to be no POV, cuz I couldn't stop writing I. So now it's just like a regular story type thing. Anyways, enjoy the chapter!

Tony left the room after Betty asked him to. He went downstairs and called Peter. 

Peter looked confused but went up the stairs. 

"Hey, I need to talk to you." Betty said as he walked in. 

"Yeah?" He sat down on a chair by her bed. 

"Although I was in a coma, I could still hear everything." She explained. 

Peter froze, his face turning bright red.

"I'll give you some time to think, while I explain what it was like." Elizabeth Cooper smiled. "Basically, It was like a dream. Where everything was at peace. You know when you have a dream and then you wake up and can't really remember the details of it? It's a little bit like that. Like I was aware of what I was witnessing, but couldn't really remember what was happening. Anyways, I couldn't see what was really happening. My mind conjured up some images to go with what my ears were hearing. However, now that I think back, I can't remember the images of the 'dream'. Then I woke up. I thought the whole thing was a dream, until Tony explained what had happened and I knew. So, Peter Parker, I heard what you said." 

"I-i-" Peter was lost with words, embarrassed that she had heard the things he said. 

"But, seeing as I could hear everything. I also heard Jughead. I can't do that to him Peter. I can't. I'm sorry." Betty had grabbed Peter's hand without meaning to. 

She looked down and blushed. Betty squeezed his hand. 

"Sorry. Didn't mean to do that."

She let go, her hand falling back into place.  Peter looked at her palms. There were nail shaped scars. 

"What happened?" He stared at the girl in front of him. 

"I," She looked away, not wanting to make eye contact. "I often squeeze my fists together really hard when I'm stressed or angry. My fingers press so hard into my palms that sometimes I'll start bleeding."

Betty tried to pull her hands away, but Peter grabbed her wrist. He opened her closed fists and ran his fingers across the scars. Peter cupped her hands in his and stared straight into her eyes. She looked back, as if looking into his soul. 

With a serious face, Peter opened his mouth to speak. 

"You…..need to cut your nails shorter." The two stared at each other, both emotionless. 

Until, Betty broke into a smile and burst out laughing. Her laugh was so contagious, Peter began to laugh as well. 

"Out of everything you could have said, you told me to cut my nails?!!" Betty playfully wacked Peter. He winced for some reason. 

Betty's eyebrows were raised. 

"Peter? Why did that hurt you? I didn't even hit you hard." 

"It's nothing." He replied. 

She sat up straight, trying to see why he flinched when she hit him. Peter pulled his shoulder away. 

"Well, um, good talk, I need to go help find Jughead." 

Peter ran out as quickly as he came in. Just like that, he left Betty Cooper alone and confused. She sighed and lay back down, shaking her head. 

Downstairs, Tony and Peter were talking. Peter was explaining something to him, but Tony just shrugged  probably nothing, desperate to return to his daughter. 

"But they-" Peter tried to tell Mr. Stark about the bad guys. 

"Peter. I don't want to hear it." Tony shook his head and walked back up. 

Peter threw his hands in the air and sighed. He walked back to the other room. 

"Alright! We got a hold of, Jughead. He's coming over right now." Veronica mentioned. "I'll start getting the baby shower ready. I promised Polly that we would do it again once Betty woke up (if she woke up before the baby was almost born). Also, Archie wait here for Jughead." 

Veronica dialed a number into her phone and left. 

Peter had nothing else to do, so he decided to see if there was trouble anywhere. With the snow and shorter days of winter, it was pretty dark out even though it was on 6:39pm.

He found an empty alleyway and took off his shirt. Peter shivered before putting his Spiderman suit on. Quietly, Peter put all his clothes into his backpack at webbed it against the garbage bin, before going off to find trouble. 

Back at the Cooper's house, Archie had informed Betty that Jughead was on his way. She sighed as she waited and thought about heat had happened. 

Hearing Peter talk, Betty had really grown fond of his voice. She had always felt a connection with him, but she couldn't do that to Jughead. Who knows what he could have been doing while she wasn't around. Betty shook her head, Jughead wouldn't do that to her. She dismissed that thought and put it to the back of her head. 

Betty looked down at her hand. She closed her eyes and remembered the warmth of Peters hand. Tony had interrupted her thoughts by  entering the room with his phone I'm his hand. 

"Hey, someone wants to talk to you." Tony handed the phone to his daughter. 

"Hello?" Betty said. "Oh my god!"
