Goodbyes


"You guys think we should tell him the truth?"
"His feelings would get hurt just like the first time.."
"No, we should show him first, then explain."
"This is not easy."
"But he really likes her."
"We have no other choice."
"We haven't a choice. He has to be told the truth before he drowns in the eyes of deception."
"You're always with your dark metaphors.."
"But he's already beginning to drown.."

"Miles, got a minute?"
"Yeah, wassup?"
"We came up with a plan for you to catch Vice."
"Really? Spill it."
"Sound makes Vice vulnerable, meaning both the host and the symbiote can lose control of the body."
"A host, who do you think it is?"
"We'll help you find out, just do as we say."
"Alright, what's the plan?"

    I turned on the radio, hoping they'd play Sunflower, and if not then I'd request it.
"Hey Vice, I got news for ya!"
"What in the.."
"You forgot something, there was one more symbiote you were supposed to take. You want it? Then meet me at the old apartment building near Trust US Bank, you know, the place where we first fought. See you there."
"Is that a threat?"

"Maybe, maybe not. I don't care, I want that last symbiote. It could be a trap as well, with our new abilities nothing can stop us."

"So, we going or nah?"

"Of course we are, we'd look cowardly if we don't."

    We made it to the building, Spiderman wasn't there.

"We have to keep our eyes peeled, he might be anywhere.."


"Our target has arrived, I repeat, our target has arrived."
"Peni, prepare the sound system."
"I'm on it,"
"Miles, this is your cue."
"Got it." Miles nodded, adjusting his earphone and going invisible.
    He looked down at Vice, noticing something familiar about this villain.
She was short, calm and had hair unlike anyone he'd ever known. She even had enough to share with Porker, Miles laughed at the thought. Peter Porker with curly hair. Weird.
He took a deep breath, "Here goes nothing.."

"Someone's behind us!" Vice said, realizing we're not alone as she looked back.

"Crap," Spiderman cursed, but still proceeded anyway. He thwipped out webs at our hands and tugged us in closer.

"You don't learn from your mistakes, do you?"

    When Vice was close enough to Miles, she back flipped and kicked him in the face.

"We have her where we want her. Hit it, Porker!" Gwen said.
"On it!" He hit the red button with his wooden mallet.
Bracelets automatically hooked around our ankles,

"What the- it's a trap! Vice!"

"Peni, activate the sound system to its highest."
"On It!" Peni pushed up all the buttons by a move of her fingers.

"I'm doing all that I can--"
   

   A sharp screeching noise too over our ears, our surroundings were becoming a blur as we were losing control.

"This is bad, Vice, we have to hold on!"

"I'm trying, I'm trying.."

    Images of two people kept flashing continuously,
"I'm seeing a girl, but who is it?" Miles pressed the earphone as he spoke.
"Peni, is that the highest?"
"I'll see what I can do!" Peni looked around, "A guitar!"
She plugged it in and strummed the guitar as hard as she could. The sound waves intensified.

"AHHH!!" Vice flew out of my body, making me collapse to my knees.

"Take out your earphones, guys. This part is for Miles to handle on his own." Peter Parker said, everyone took off the earphones.
"Wha- what the.. Hanami? You were Vice this whole time?" Miles took off the Spidermask.
"And you were Spiderman this whole time!?"
"I can't believe this! First my Uncle Aaron, now you?"
"It's not my fault!"
"Then whose fault it is? Tell me. And what about Sandy? Who was that?"
"You're not even letting me speak right now. How do you expect me to answer you!?"
"What about Green Goblin?"
"I.."
"Speak up, I don't think I can hear you."
"I killed her, okay? She created a software to collide all dimensions for about three hours for us to meet the others like us and team up. It was too risky.."
"Look who's talking bout risks.."
"You think I wanted this!?"
I shouted at him.
"That beautiful lady you see on that billboard is my mother. She doesn't even know me. She wanted to abort me because of her 'image'."
"What?"
"My dad, is all the way in Japan and doesn't even know I'm alive. Do you know what's that like?"
"No, I don't."
"On the second day of school I found out Vice was in me. She would've killed me if I didn't do as she says. She's in my mind, she reads my thoughts, she speaks to me and I can't take this anymore!"
"Hanami listen to me--"
"No, I won't. I'm tired of doing what people say! I didn't want to hurt you, and I know you didn't want to hurt me.. All I wanted was for my aunt Desirée to live goddamit. Is that too much to ask? My mother and grandmother are living the life, while I'm here, struggling." Miles was at a loss for words at this moment. Vice crawled up my leg and settled on my shoulders.
"Can you believe this ball of slime controls me? Made me do all the things I did? No, I know you don't. She can kill me anytime she wants by eating me from the inside out.." Vice sunk through my pores and under my skin.
"Miles, I'm so sorry. I really like you, maybe even love you but. We're so different, we're just two sunflowers that spring up on completely different fields.."
"Hanami, there's gotta be some other way.."
"No, there isn't, Miles. It's over.." Tears streamed down my eyes, "This is goodbye, Miles." I kissed his cheek before leaving him there alone.

"I want you outta my head, I want you outta my bed drunk tonight.
There's no way I could save you, cause I need to be safe, too.
I'm not good at goodbyes.."

AN: Sunflowers withering, suspense lingering. I'm terrible at rhymes, so why are you still reading?
