SOFIAS POV
Oh. Fuck.
Peter fucking Parker was at my door step.
I stood there frozen, occasionally glancing from my dad, to my mom, to Peter. Peter. What the hell is he doing here?? Most importantly... what's he gonna do? He looked furious... but a hint of fear in his eyes. I could tell. After what felt like hours, I slowly walked over to Peter, when my dad grabbed my wrist, breaking the silence. "Who the fuck is he?!" I hesitated; I didn't want him to hurt Peter. The last thing I want him to do. "H-he's my friend." "You? Have a friend?! Please, he's only your friend out of pity. No one would ever want to be your friend!" I started to feel tears slowly tricking down my cheeks. H-he's right... no one would want to be friends with me. At this point I was balling. I collapsed on the floor and held my knees to my chest. I could hear the faint "Stop being a wussy! STOP CRYING!!!" As I put my head down even lower, I felt arms wrap around me. I looked up and saw Peter. What's he doing? We stared at each other as if no one else was in the room. I curse my dad for ruining that moment. "What the fuck are you doing?!?! She's not worth it! You could do SO much better!Don't waste time on HER!!!" We jolted our heads to him and without thinking I ran out to the hallway; I couldn't take it anymore. The words. The pain. The abuse. I fell against the wall and started to cry again in my arms. I looked up to see a backpack next to me. I figured it was Peters, so I opened it. I saw Spider-Man's suit.
PETERS POV
Once Sofia went inside, I crept to the door, careful to be hidden. While there was talking going on, I debated on whether or not I should take off my suit. Luckily, I brought my other clothes so I could have a choice. My thought process was cut short when I heard footsteps on the stairs. I webbed myself onto the ceiling and waited for the person to pass by; but they were going into Sofias apartment. That must be her dad. I jumped down when I heard the door slam shut and pressed my ear against the door. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Why the fuck Is he saying that to her? I looked through the peephole to see Sofias dad starting to raise a beer bottle at her. Oh fuck no. I panicked and took off my clothes and changed into my regular ones the fastest I've ever had. Without thinking my plan through, I threw the backpack (with my suit) aside to the corner of the hallway and slammed the door open just in time to see everyone freeze and stare at me. I regret not thinking this through. Sofia turned to me with fear in her eyes. Her dad started to scream at her again and I just stood there like an idiot. Come on, Peter...DO SOMETHING! I ran over and wrapped my arms around Sofia as she started to cry. I looked into her eyes with care and just stared for what it felt like an eternity. Until her asshole of a dad ruined it. He kept screaming at her, and all I could feel was rage in my body. I wanted to tell her that I was really her friend, that I cared for her SO much, more than she knew. She broke down again and ran out the door. Come on,Peter. I didn't run after her; I wasn't gonna let them do this to her anymore. Never again. "You know what? Leave.her.ALONE. Don't you dare come near ever again! BOTH OF YOU! And if you do, I won't hesitate to call the police or social services about this. You got that?!?! The dad was red as a tomato while her mom just continued to sit on the couch, stunned by my actions. Her dad started to raise the beer bottle at me instead and I quickly took his arm, twisted it behind his back, and smashed him against the wall. I took the bottle out of his hands and threw it across the floor. "Fine... take her. She's no use to me anyway... now let me go!!" I released my grasp on the man and left without another word, slamming the door behind me. I walked down the hall in search of Sofia, when I heard her in the corner. When I found her, my face became pale.
She found my suit.
SOFIAS POV
I sat there in shock as I held Spider-Man's suit. Who's is this? I looked up to see Peter standing still with a flushed expression. It was then when I knew who's it was; he gave it away with that face.
It was Peters.
We stared at each other forever, with my surprised and shocked expression and his "oh shit I just got caught" face. After the shock finally settled in, I finally had the nerve to break the silence. " Y-your...Spider-Man? He too broke out of his expression and started to become nervous. "N-no! That's not mine! It's-uh... Halloween costume? It sounded more like a question more than a statement. He's gotta be fucking with me; Halloween's not until another month. I was getting a bit aggravated; why make excuses and lies when I already know? "Don't lie to me, Parker. Spill it." He sighed and sunk down next to me, against the wall. "Yea, I am. But you can't tell anybody, promise? I don't want May getting worried and- " I cut him off. " I won't. I promise. I'm just... surprised, that's all." There was yet another awkward silence as he took the suit from my hands and stuffed it back in his backpack, until I remembered about my parents. " Wait... what happens with my mom and dad?" He stood back up. " Oh, I just told them to stop, and... look, your gonna start staying at my place. I'll ask Aunt May, I'm sure she'll understand; but, you can't live there anymore not on my watch." I slowly got up; I was stunned by his actions. But, I slowly nodded my head. Inside, I was squealing with excitement. I get live with Peter. He started to grab his things and walked away, motioning for me to come. "But... I need to get my stuff.." " You'll just use May's things until I can take you shopping. Come on, let's go." I couldn't help but smile. I followed close behind, finally leaving this hellhole forever.
We stepped in to Peters apartment and was immediately greeted by Aunt May. "Hey kids! Sofia, what are you doing here? It's late, you should be home." She looked at me concerned. I put my head down and nudged Peter signaling him to say what happend. He told me to go to the couch and wait there until he was done. So I waited there, for what seemed like years. After 5 minutes I took my phone out and started to play a game. Peter and May finally came up to me. May say next to me and put a hand on my shoulder. "Of course you can stay, honey. After what you've been through, I can't let you stay on the streets." She giggled. I glanced at Peter and May and gave them both a smile. I couldn't believe it; I was utterly grateful. "Thank you so much!" I jumped up and gave them both hugs. I couldn't help but blush as I hugged Peter. After we had dinner and such, May lent me some clothes and I headed to Peters top bunk. As he was about to turn the lights off, I hugged him. Why? I don't know, I just felt like his hugs are the greatest. He was shocked at first but quickly returned the hug. "What was that for?" We got out of the hug and he was... blushing?! "I wanted to say thanks...again. For taking me out of there." "Of course- anything for you." I started blushing like crazy, and so did he. " Goodnight, Peter." "Goodnight,Sofia." Then he turned off the lights, and I dozed off into one of the most best sleeps I've ever had.
