Elizabeth POV:

When we arrived back home I ran straight up to my room, not giving a chance for Tony or Happy to say anything. All I felt was anger, I stood up in the middle of my room clenching my fists, trying to keep my emotions at bay. I felt stupid for thinking that everything would be easier for me, that I could just be happy. My heart hurt as I thought about Peter, about how I had really liked him, but all I could hear was him yelling at me to go away. My thoughts turned to my sister, who I had not heard from in months, I thought of her somewhere in the world, hiding. I also thought of Steve and the rest of the team, all people I cared about, hiding for fear they would be locked up. My anger began to build up, I clenched my fists tighter, and my palms were beginning to hurt, tears began to form in my eyes, and I clenched my jaw, trying hard to keep my emotions in.
"Lizzy, just stay away from me!" Peter's voice rang in my head. Then my sisters voice as she told me that I would not be going with her, then Pietro's low voice trailing off as he spoke "Lizzy.." before falling to ground.
And just like that I couldn't hold it in, I screamed, falling to my knees, the room shook and I started crying as I held my head. Tony and Happy burst in the door, looking around the room before seeing me on the floor. They ran towards me, Tony kneeling down holding me. I looked at the room, I had broken the windows, and the mirror, and my things were knocked on the ground. I turned away from the room and began to cry even harder into Tony's shoulder. All the pain that had seemed to have gone away was now back.

Peter POV:

I walked down the hallway to my apartment, wearing a 'I survived my trip to NYC' shirt and hello kitty pajama pants. I then knocked on the door and few seconds later May opened up, I could see she was anxious and mad. I walked in slowly, and stopped not far from the door. I stared at Aunt May as she walked back into the apartment.
"I've been calling you all day! You didn't answer your phone! You can't do that, then this Ferry thing happens!" May said, her voice shaky. I walked towards her now. "I've called five police stations, I called five of your friends, I've called Ned's mother!"
"May I'm okay," I started saying as she continued to talk anxiously. "Relax, I'm fine."
She looked at me now, and began to speak softly. "Cut the bullshit. I know you left detention, I know you left the hotel room in Washington, I know you sneak out of this house every night, that's not fine. Peter you have to tell me what's going on, just lay it out, it's just me and you."
I felt my eyes well up with tears, and I knew I couldn't hold it in any longer.

"I lost the Stark internship, and I- I ruined things with Lizzy," I spoke quietly, knowing if I spoke any louder I would breakdown

"I lost the Stark internship, and I- I ruined things with Lizzy," I spoke quietly, knowing if I spoke any louder I would breakdown.
"What?" May asked sadly.
"Yeah."
"What happened?" I now sat down on the couch.
"I just thought I could work really hard and he could- he would- you know but- I screwed things up," I stopped for a moment, squeezing my eyes to hold the tears back, "And with Lizzy, I- I just messed things up, and I hurt her... sh- she couldn't even look at me." May now walked over to me and hugged me. "I really really liked her May." I said as my voice began to shake and it became harder to hold back my tears.
"It's okay, It's okay. You know I'm not trying to ruin your life. I used to sneak out too." She said as she let go of the hug and bent down to smell me, "Take a shower you smell like garbage."
"I know." I then stood up and walked to the shower. After my shower I got in bed but was unable to sleep all night, all I could think about was what had happened.

Elizabeth POV:

"I'm sorry, it just all hit me again, and it was overwhelming, and I- I just couldn't hold it in." I said as I played with my necklace anxiously. After calming me down, we had gone out to the kitchen and made coffee. Tony and Happy looked at me with worry as they leaned against the counter across from me.
"What's wrong? What made it all come back?" Happy asked worry in his voice as he spoke.
"Peter he- he said he didn't think that we should hang out anymore- he told me to go away." I said my eyes filling with tears and my voice getting shakier. "I just don't understand,"
Happy walked over taking a seat next to me, and pulling me into a hug.
"Why don't you got to bed, it's been a long day and you need rest, okay?" Happy said as he still held me. I nodded and he let go of me, I then stood up from my chair, and gave Happy another hug, I then walked over to Tony hugging him as well, he held on to me for a moment, speaking quietly.
"I'm sorry Elizabeth."
He then let go and I walked up to my room and closed my door. I walked over to a fallen picture frame and picked it up, it was a picture of Wanda and I, I smiled sadly at the picture and spoke quietly, "I wish you were here." I placed it down on my desk and climbed into bed and laid down. I laid in bed for an hour before getting up and walking to my closet and grabbing my Pietro's jacket, I then got back in bed and held on to it.
"I miss you so much Pietro." I said as my tears began to fall, and I squeezed his jacket tightly, as I cried quietly till finally falling asleep.
