The Forces of Nature ✧ Peter Parker

1: The Girl

Anything can happen in a blink of an eye. A few seconds can pass and that can be considered as the past already. That's the concept of time. Because of this, everyone does stupid things. It can be anything. After all, stupid things that a person has done might not be stupid enough to another person. It's totally different, but everyone can agree that drunk driving is stupid.

Anything can happen in a blink of an eye. One second Y/N and her parents were going on a drive then the next second, they were hit by another car. They were in the middle of nowhere in an intersection and everything seemed to happen in slow motion. Their car got hit by another car, similar to their own car, and it was a strong impact. Unfortunately, due to that almost everyone died. Almost everyone. Y/N was the only one who survived. She only had scratches.

She didn't know why she was left alive. She didn't know why she was spared, but she figured the man upstairs had plans for her. She didn't know what the plans were, but she was willing to figure it out.

She quickly got out of the car and she was glad she did because after she got out of the car, it blew up. It was hard for a 15 year old to see that. The driver of the other car died too. She later found out that the driver was drunk when the ambulance came.

She was brought to the hospital for her wounds to be cleaned. Then her grandmother was called to inform her what happened. Y/N's grandmother picked her up from the hospital and drove her home. 

It was odd that Y/N lived in the middle of nowhere, but she loved it. She was around nature all the time and it gave her comfort. Her parents knew she was special when they saw her manipulating the fire's flames. All three of them kept it a secret. Her powers came from an unknown source, but her parents thought of it as a gift from the gods. 

"You'll be able to do great things, Y/N. I know you will."  Her mom used to say. Now that her mom's gone, she'll always keep that in mind. Since then, she wanted to use her powers for good. Y/N was a really good kid.

The funeral broke Y/N's heart because it made everything real and she didn't want it to be real. She wanted it to be a bad dream instead. If she could change everything, she would. Alas, she didn't have the powers for that.

Her grandmother kept her company for a year until her grandmother passed away. This made Y/N really sad. She loved her grandmother and her grandmother took care of her and looked out for her and loved her unconditionally. So to lose another important figure in her life really made her sad and heartbroken. She felt like all the life from her was sucked out of her and now she's numb.

She found out she could show memories thirty minutes after she found out her grandmother died; her finding out was an accident. She ran to her room and sat on the floor and cried. Her tears fell on the floor and when she put both of her hands on the floor to help herself up, her tears suddenly formed into the last moment she had with her grandmother. She heard her grandmother's voice echoing in her room. 

"Good night, Y/N. I love you, sweetheart. Always remember that you're my best girl." 

Y/N watched the whole thing. She took her hands off the floor and it disappeared. She gasped and it took a while for her to take it all in. She went back to her grandmother's room where her grandmother's lifeless body was. She gave her grandmother a tight hug before she pulled away and kissed her grandmother's forehead.

After her grandmother's funeral, Y/N's aunt decided to take her in. Y/N's aunt lived in the city. Y/N was excited because she's never been to the city before. So she packed her things, she didn't have much, and left. That house she left behind held so many memories, but it was time to move on. Her parents and grandmother would want her to move on. That house in the middle of nowhere was hers and she knew no one would do anything to it. She left with her aunt to live in the city and never looked back. That place and the memories there would always be with her heart and mind.
