In love With Peter Parker: TIED TO THE FAMILY (BOOK 2)

PART 7

*Azelia*

I grumbled as I picked up little strings of web fluid. Matthew was upstairs, getting of of the ceiling in my room.

I was fuming as I picked up the mess Matthew had made. I thought back to what she'd said in my mind, the words she'd muttered. You can have friends over.

I rolled my eyes. Oh please. If I had more then 5 people over, it'd be a party. That's what I want to do. Drink away my anger. Listening for Matthew's footsteps on the roof, I picked up the phone. "Hey Anna, I'm doing something tonight. Call MJ for me."

Twenty minutes later, my two best friends were at my door step. Mariana stood with her arms crossed over her chest. Anna looked more curious then annoyed and Mercedes just looked well, Mercedes. "What are we doing here Z?" She asked. Mariana was like the baby of their tight little circle. She was the smallest and most adorable, (obviously) and had the deepest dimples. I was considered the second oldest since she was the sternest. Mercedes was considered the oldest because she acted like she hated all of us and would rather be left by herself, but she always smiled when they made jokes. Really, she was the silliest of the four. Just in a quiet kind of way.

That left Anna who was kind of like the curious middle child. Discovering puberty for the first time. Kind of. That was our little fake sisterhood that we sort of collected together.

I sat them in my living room and told them of my plans. "A party?" Anna said excitedly. Mariana rolled her eyes. "Sorry but parties at your house are lame, Z."

I forgot to mention. She was the wild child too.

"They are not!" I protested. She cracked a smile and grabbed a piece of chocolate. "I'm not trying to be too harsh," she added. "Oh gee. That's so sweet of you." I deadpanned. She rolled her eyes. Mercedes sat up from her spot laying down. "I think it's a massively amazing idea." I gestured to her. "Thank you!" I exclaimed. Mariana grumbled and looked to Anna. "What do you think Ann?"

Anna smiled brightly. "Well I think it's a spectacular--"
"Aaaand you're done."

We all giggled then Mariana held up her hands in surrender. "You messed with the wrong woman tonight." She got an evil gleam in her eye. I cocked my head and narrowed my eyelids. "What are you planning you slimy little--"

"MATTHEW!"

I held my hands to my head. I balled my hands into fists and groaned. Matthew totally had the hots for Mari and smiled as he bound into the room. He caught sight of us from down the hallway, (I could hear it in his head).

He stopped in his tracks. He smoothed his hair and hurried to the living room. "Hi Mar," he said sweetly. She giggled that giggle and he practically swooned. He steadied himself and I groaned. "Um yep?" He asked gulping. His little developing Adam's apple moved up and down.

She grinned. "Do you think your sisters parties are lame?"

His eyes narrowed and I could see his little gears turning. "She hasn't had any."

Mariana visibly cringed. Mercedes grinned. "I've got to call my mom." I nodded to her weakly. "Hey can I come with? I'd love to say hi to Miss Michelle." Mercedes gave me the eye. "Why don't you just call her MJ? You're so weird."

In a eyebat, I was stuck to my chair, bound by the web fluid.
"Tell me about these parties," Matthew said suspiciously. Mariana looked at me with genuine fear. She knew about our powers. But she wasn't scared of those. She was scared about what Matthew was going to do with this special information.

I told him hurriedly about our little "get togethers," he listened intently. He ran a hand through his now darkening hair. "I see. So you owe me. Big time. Will you sacrifice something to make sure there isn't a definite leak?" He stepped to me then squatted down and smiled. His eyebrows arched curiously. I struggled against the bonds but they only got stronger. Like quicksand.

Oh please. Like I would sacrifice anything for this loser.

"Mariana will kiss you."

Marianas eyes widened and her body curled further. She hugged her knees. Matthew smirked. "Oh?"

He crossed the room to her. "Would you do it?" She glared at me then nodded hesitantly. Matthew looked surprised. "Really?" He said as his voice cracked. She nodded and quickly stood. She kissed him hastily and sat back down. Matthew shook his head over and over all the way to his bedroom. I could hear him screaming frustrations.

Mariana glared at me. "You're dead, Parker."
