Tears of Pain

Hey guys! Thanks for reading! This is set during The Amazing Spider-Man movie- I've just made this scene up from a picture I saw as I haven't seen the film yet- enjoy! It's from Peter and Gwen's POV...

Peter's POV

It was a difficult night. That...thing...it nearly killed me. I couldn't get the ringing out of my head. Those scales, the greasy long tail, the almost familiar eyes. I was covered in cuts, bruises, scratches and blood. I couldn't let Aunt May see me like that. I was so relieved when I came home to find she had gone shopping...but I did it again.

"Uncle Ben, I'm home!"

Silence. Every time I walk through that door. God, I miss him...

To be honest, I didn't know what to do with myself. I skulked up to my room and sat there for what felt like an eternity. Everything hurt. Everything ached. It was like something had died inside. I stretched my arms out slowly only to feel a sharp pain. I screamed and tears filled my eyes. However, I knew I had to sort myself out; no one else would...

Gwen's POV

I couldn't help thinking about Peter. He'd gone through so much with Uncle Ben and now he was Spider-Man; all new responsibilities. I was walking back home when I noticed his front door was slightly ajar. Worry pulled me closer and I found myself inside. I read a note from Aunt May when I heard a scream coming from upstairs. I rushed towards the noise; Peter's room. I burst in...

And there he was. I couldn't believe my eyes. He didn't look like Peter Parker, just a shell of who he was. He was dishevelled and tears poured down him. Tears of pain. I could barely say his name.

"...Peter..."

He looked at me like he was lost. His clothes were in tatters and he was covered in bruises and blood. It was horrible. I had no idea what I had to do until he said two little words. Just two.

"Help me."

My heart broke and I ran into his arms and held him tight, hoping he could ignore the pain.

Peter's POV

It hurt to touch her but I didn't want to let her go. I couldn't let her go. I didn't realise it, but at that moment Gwen Stacey was the only thing I needed in the whole world.

She whispered "Let's get you cleaned up."

Gwen's POV

Every time he moved pain took over. There was hardly anything I could do. It hurt me to see him that way. I had to at least make him look better, even if I couldn't change how he felt.

"I'm going to get some tissues." I said and walked out, close to tears. I dampened some tissues under a cold tap and returned to Peter. He had taken his shirt off. It was the wrong time to look but temptation took over and controlled me. All of his big muscles, abs and six-pack were decorated by blood and vicious wounds. That creature on the news did that to him. I knew it. He sat back on his bed against the wall and I leant near him. My forehead gently rubbed his nose and I knew I couldn't look up because he was looking at me. I didn't want to see his pain again. We were so close I could smell the blood in his breath. The damp tissues met his skin and he shuddered in pain, but he fought it. I gently wiped off as much blood as I could. Tissues after tissues were painted red and eventually he was clean as could be. There was no more I could do. I disposed of the tissues so May could never find them. His hair was a mess and some was in his eye so I carefully stroked it back. Suddenly he grabbed my arm as I moved it away.

"Thank you." He said.

"You don't need to do this," I told him "You owe no one anything like this."

"I owe Uncle Ben. I'm doing this for him. I have responsibilities. And that thing...that creature...I have to stop it because I helped create it. I want to protect this city. I want to protect Aunt May. I want to protect you!"

He was silenced when my lips touched his.

Peter's POV

It was everything I wanted and needed. Her touch made me better. She placed her hand on my bare chest as I held it and pulled her head closer to mine. The kiss got stronger and deeper. I loved it. I loved her.

Gwen's POV

I loved him. I had to show it. I pulled away and we stared at each other, but before we knew it we were kissing again. Time flew by and we only stopped when Aunt May's voice filled the house, startling us.

"Hello, I'm back! Peter?"

Peter' POV

"I'm in my room with Gwen." I told her.

"Oh okay...say no more..." Aunt May replied cheekily.

Oh great, even she knew. It was amazing; all the pain I felt left me and all because of her. Thank God for her.

Gwen stood up, off of my bed. She shook her luscious hair before leaning in for a final, beautiful kiss.

"Stay..." I whispered.

"I want to," she said "But I have to go. I'm sorry..."

My heart begged her to stay, but my head begged her to run. Then, she was gone. Perfect, but gone.

Gwen's POV

I had just seen some horrific things, but I wanted to smile so much. I knew my new responsibility- to look after Peter. Not Spider-Man, just Peter.

Peter's POV

I slowly put my shirt back on as I thought about everything. I will stop that creature. I will save this city. I will found out the truth about my parents. I will look after those I love. I'll do it for mum and dad. I'll do it for Aunt May. I'll do it for Uncle Ben. And Gwen Stacey...I'll do it for her. And no one will stop me.

THE END
