Scrolling through your texts, you sighed kind of hating all this attention. Not knowing how to respond to everyone. Until your father opened the door to your bedroom a truly starstruck look on his face.
“What is it dad?” you question curious to why his face looks so shocked.
“You have a guest,” he pointed out to the living room and walked away like a mindless zombie.
“Uh,” you slide off your bed, “okay.”
Clutching your phone to your chest, still content on answering your friends. You slowly walked out to the living room. Seeing a man sitting up straight on your couch you thought he looked familiar. A little bit like...........
“(Y/N) so nice to see you again!” Tony Stark turned to you a warm smile on his face.
‘Of course,’ you muttered to yourself. Trying to keep your eyes from rolling into the back of your head. “How are you Mr. Stark?” you sang out with a big smile on your face.
“I’m fine darling. But the real question is how are you?” he got serious.
“Wha-what do you mean?” you stuttered nervously.
Tony gave a look to your dad indicating he wanted to speak privately with his daughter. Once he was out of the room Tony spoke up, “You blacked out.”
Your eyes went wide, how did he know this. It must’ve been Peter. He is Tony’s protege after all, basically like father and son. You sighed giving into the fact that Peter told Tony what had happened. “I know i fainted.” you simply replied.
“Peter had to carry you into your room. He is extremely worried about you (Y/N),” Tony got off the couch, walking toward you.
“I know-” he cut you off.
“I know what your going through,” you looked up into his face. his concerned face. “Your chest tightens, your stressed and you can’t pinpoint the exact reason why. You have anxiety attacks more often. The feelings you have are basically one jumbled mess. Am I right?”
You were speechless. He knew exactly what was going on with you. But how? “Yeah,” you voice low and slow, “but how?”
“It happens to me too,” he placed his hand on your shoulder. “Talk to Peter, he needs to know your okay.”
“But i’m not,” a tear rolled down your cheek.
“Well at least let him know you're awake,” he started to glide towards the door. “Goodbye (Y/N), don’t fuck up like i do.” Tony didn’t look back. Just stopped in his tracks before actually opening the door and leaving.
You couldn’t move your feet. Did that just happen? Was the Tony Stark giving you advice? Holding your phone out in front of your face you just stared at it, pondering what to say to your worried friends. To a worried Peter. Creating a group chat full of your friends except Peter, you started typing a response.
GROUP CHAT
(Y/N) Hey guys. I just wanted to let you all know that i’m okay. I’ve been going through some shit and i’m trying my best to get better. Somebody told me i should probably not do it alone. Anyway, i’m alive and well.
(MJ) Thank heavens! I was so worried. You know i’m always here for you.
(Gwen) We all love you (Y/N), don’t forget that. I know i give you a hard time sometimes but it comes from a place of love i swear. i just want the best for you.
The support from your friends made you cry. It came in like a landslide, you were overwhelmed. Just standing in the middle of your living room having a breakdown. You wanted to text Peter separately, he had been with you through it all. It felt wrong to put him in the group chat.
PETER
(Y/N) Peter
(P) Oh my god! (Y/N) are you okay?!
(Y/N) For the most part.
(P) What does that mean?
(Y/N) Well you know i’ve been struggling recently..........
You had started to type your explanation but only one thing popped into your head that you wanted to say to him.
(Y/N) Peter, forget about me.
(P) What?
(P) (Y/N) what do you mean?
(P) I can’t live without you?!
You didn’t respond back to him, you left him on read. You did not take Tony’s advice. Which was a bad move and you knew it was going to bite you in the ass. But right now you couldn’t handle talking to the one you loved most. You didn’t want to see him with that girl, you didn’t want to see the look on his face when you told him the truth. It was all to much.
Washington is buzzing with speculation about how President-elect Donald Trump and the Republican majority in Congress will remake Medicare and Medicaid.
Summary: Flash won’t leave you alone, even when you tell him to take a hike
Warnings: angst
Telling Peter to forget you was the hardest thing you ever did. You were a mess. Knowing you couldn’t stay away from him at school was hard enough. But when you entered school with tear stained cheeks, you could see all your friends wanting to come up to you. Except Flash immediately ran up to you and wrapped his arm around your shoulder. Peter’s face was full on scowling at him. You weren’t happy about it either, in fact you were disgusted. It distinctly showed on your face.
“Flash,” you tried to sound sweet while making your face into a smile.
“Yeah,” he didn’t bother looking at you.
“This isn’t working out,” you said loudly. Making a few heads turn.
Flash’s eyes went wide, the smile on his face was completely wiped away, “SHHH!” he covered your mouth. Moving you to a place where people couldn’t see or hear the two of you. Making you very uncomfortable.
“We are not going to break up,” Flash said. Making you realise why he said yes to your original proposal. He wanted to use you to make Peter angry and upset. To make him jealous. Almost like what you wanted to do. Except you mostly wanted to use him to forget the fact that Peter had moved on. Like normal people.
Pain was clear in your eyes. You wanted to be free. But Flash wouldn’t let his hold on you go. This relationship wasn’t going anywhere but you didn’t want to poke the bear. The bear was vicious. Peter knew that better than anyone else.
Peter, what would he do if he knew? He would go crazy. Probably beat on Flash’s ass. Accidentally show some of his spider abilities. You couldn’t let that happen. You had to deal with this yourself.
“Alright Flash,” you hung your head low.
“What?” Flash almost sounded, shocked.
“I won’t break up with you,” you rolled your eyes. How much clearer could you be.
“Wow,” he rubbed the back of his neck, “I didn’t think you’d actually agree.”
“Well I want to protect my friends.”
“You think I’d hurt your friends if you broke up with me?” he put his hand over his chest dramatically.
“Yes, yes i do think you would hurt my friends,” you looked angry, “can i go to class now. Master.” you bowed to him.
Flash rolled his eyes at your ridiculousness. “Just go,” he insisted. Waving you away.
You sighed in relief. Ecstatic that you could escape his presence. even if it was only for forty-five minutes. Practically running in the hallways the rest of the day trying to escape him. Trying to escape both of them, at least for the rest of the day.
