“wake up! please, wake up.”
peter’s words were desperate, he knew it. it was a plead he had repeated time and time again as he sat by your hospital bed. he wanted to believe that you looked peaceful, but he couldn’t see it. all he could see was how your face had contorted with pain when it had happened; a look of desperation in your eyes as you reached out for him before crumbling to the ground. he couldn’t hear the steady rhythm of the machines you were attached to; all he could hear was your shrill cry when you had called out his name. no matter how much he willed the memories away, he wasn’t able to forget.
it was beginning (well, actually, it had been for a while) to take a toll on him. his grades were dropping faster than flies and may was constantly commenting on the bags under his eyes. he dismissed her every time, reassuring his aunt that he was fine - reassuring himself that he was fine. for a moment, at least. peter knew he wasn’t fine. ned knew. may definitely knew. even mj knew. but the couldn’t shake the constant cloud of guilt and anguish following him wherever he went. after all, it was his fault you were lying there. he knew it was.
he had tried, he really had. to save you, that is. every hair on his body had been standing up, telling him something was terribly wrong, but he had been too engulfed in his conversation with ned to respond to the tell-tale immediately. a few moments later, the crack of a gunshot had sounded. it was so loud that his first instinct was to slap his hands over his ears, positive his eardrums had ruptured. he had turned around to check on you and that’s when he realized it. his senses had been telling him that danger was coming - that you were in danger - and he had ignored.
peter shook his head, trying to erase the haunting image of you falling to the ground while clutching your abdomen. it was a memory he saw every night when it woke him up in the middle of the night, his strained voice crying out for you. may had stopped coming to his room to check on him after the fifth night, knowing he would be inconsolable. peter loved his aunt more than anything but there was nothing she was able to do to help him. he needed you.
“do you even still love me?” he croaks out a bitter laugh. “of course, you don’t it’s my fault you’re here. i-i should’ve looked up sooner. i didn’t- i’m so sorry i didn’t stop him, y/n.”
he wiped at the tears escaping his eyes angrily. why was his body betraying him like this? he didn’t want to cry; he had cried enough. he shouldn’t be allowed to cry. he was the one that you put you there. he didn’t react fast enough. he hadn’t listened to his body, determined to be a normal teenager for a day. he was the reason you had been shot. he was the reason your future was still uncertain; still hanging by a thin web.
he scoffs at himself. he was pathetic. you deserved more - so much more. you were young, you basically had your entire life ahead of you, and peter’s careless actions had quite possibly ruined those chances. he had been determined to tell you that night. that’s why he was busy whispering with ned; he was trying to explain the game plan and get the desired input from his best friend. he was trying to figure out how to tell you that he wanted more. he was trying to tell plan how to tell you that he loved you.
“i’ll be back tomorrow, y/n,” peter whispered, swallowing the ever-growing lump in his throat. he pressed his lips to your forehead, not noticing that it was warmer today than usual. “i love you.”
and he hoped you heard him. he hoped you would wake up soon so he could tell you in person. he hoped you loved him back.
