The first thing I noticed as I was waking up was the piercing headache I had.
I groaned and grabbed my head before opening my eyes, seeing the large clock that I would normally look at going to school every morning. This time, though, I was looking at it up close. I slowly sat up, my body turning cold with fear as I realized I was laying on a ledge. I looked around, trying not to move my body too much, but not seeing Harry or Peter anywhere.
Taking a small risk, I glanced down towards the ground, seeing loads of police cars and groups of people surrounding the clock tower. That made me feel a little bit better. I straightened up and leaned turned so my back was against the wall and my feet were hanging off.
"Well, look who's awake."
I jumped, my hands grabbing the ledge to steady myself. I looked to my right and saw Harry floating on his little platform thing. Peter had told me about Oscorp and everything they done there, including the term for the object Harry was on, but any technical terms had slipped my mind. "Why are you doing this?" I asked him quietly.
"Your beloved boyfriend is killing me," he growled, moving a little closer to me, "I thought he was my best friend, that he would do anything to help me, but I was wrong. He took away my hope."
I shook my head, "Harry, he was trying to protect you."
"Protect me?" he yelled, "Look at me!"
"There has to be another way, just- please. Lets go somewhere, all three of us and we can talk." I begged him, hoping he would listen to me.
Harry shook his head slightly, "No, no more talking. Peter had his chance."
All of a sudden, he rushed forward and grabbed me, taking me high up into the air above the clock. I gripped onto him, closing my eyes tightly. Once we stopped moving, I slowly looked down, my eyes widening at how high we are, "Harry-"
He quickly shushed me and smirked, "I hate to do this, but it has to be happen."
I could feel my heart hammering in my chest. I was too young to die, especially this way. I shook my head, my arms tightening around him, "Please don't." I whispered.
Harry studied my face for a few seconds before grabbing my arms and pushing me away from him. It felt like the world stopped spinning. My eyes stayed on Harry's form as I fell quickly. I was too scared to even scream. It was like it was happening in slow motion, but I knew I was falling fast. I let my eyes close, trying to accept that this was my fate.
I felt something slam into my left side, causing a gasp to escape my lips. Arms wrapped around my waist tightly and I could hear the familiar sound of web shooters. I quickly wrapped my arms around the figure and opened my eyes, seeing the familiar red and blue mask. I could see the clock tower disappearing behind us as Peter swung me to safety.
Once away from everything, he sat me down and looked me over, "Are you okay? That's a dumb question- obviously you're not. Oh my God, Meadow." he said quickly, grabbing my face in his hands. I was too shocked to say anything, just staring at him with wide eyes. "Look, I'm gonna go finish this off with Harry, okay? You go home and I'll be over once everything is settled, I promise."
I felt myself nod, still not being able to speak.
"I'm so sorry this happened to you, Meadow." he stated quietly. He lifted his mask up above his lips and quickly placed a kiss on my forehead, "Go try and rest."
I gave another nod before throwing myself at him and wrapping him in a tight hug, "Be safe." I finally whispered, causing him to let out a small laugh.
He pulled away gently and laid his hand on my cheek gently before turning and swinging back towards where Harry was.

It was around 1 in the morning when I finally heard a tap on my window. I quickly jumped off of my bed and pulled it open, Peter falling onto the ground as I did so. He groaned, pulling off his mask and looking up at me. I noticed lots of small bruises and cuts on his face and also tears in his suit.
"How bad at you hurt?" I asked him quietly, setting down in front of him.
He shook his head and sat up, "Not too bad, I'll be better in a few hours. How are you doing?"
"I'm actually okay," I laughed slightly, shaking my head, "I didn't think I would be. I'm just happy you saved me. Again."
"I'll always save you, Meadow." he smiled slightly.
I smiled back at him before leaning over and pressing my lips to his. He quickly kissed me back, his hand raising up and gripping the back of my head. I pulled away slowly, examining his face, "Do you need me to get you anything?"
His brown eyes studied mine for a few seconds before he finally shook his head, "No, this is perfect."
I smiled at him before standing up, pulling him up with me, "How about you get changed and we'll try to get some sleep." I told him as I pulled some clothes out of his, handing them to him.
Peter nodded and done as told as I pulled the blankets down on my bed, crawling into them afterwards. Once he was changed, he done the same and pulled me to him quickly. I gladly snuggled into his side and let out a breath, "Thank you for saving me." I whispered, staring at the wall.
"You never have to thank me."
I turned my head to look up at him, seeing him staring down at me already, "I'm gonna say something and if it's too soon, then just tell me and I won't say it again until you say it, but after almost dying tonight, I feel like I need to tell you."
Peter chuckled and tucked some hair behind my ear, "You can tell me anything."
I nodded and met his eyes, biting my bottom lip gently, "I love you, Peter." I whispered quietly. A normal person wouldn't have been able to hear what I said, but I knew with Peter's abilities, he could.
He studied my face, looking for any signs that I was lying, "You love me?"
I nodded again, "I understand if you don't love me, bu-"
I was cut off with his lips meeting mine, causing me to smile slightly before kissing him back.
