I Can't Do This Alone…
Nightmares… That was what filled a young spiders mind, it's what filled his mind every night for as long as he could remember. He could never forget what happened and that he felt it was all his fault. However, the one thing that seemed to be a constant in his life was his adopted father… The person he trusted so much and he felt safe with.
Tony was worried once again, Pete had woken once again from his sleep, Friday sent him alerts whenever it happened and it seemed to be a constant for the young boy. It broke Tony's heart when he found out his son was having trouble sleeping and so he did what any logical person would do and walked into his room.
The young brown haired teen looked up and bolted to the man. His head clenched against his chest. "Daddy, I'm afraid, won't you stay a little while?, keep me safe 'cause there's monsters right outside." Tony smiled, he would always protect Pete no matter what happens. "Daddy, please don't go, I don't wanna be alone." Tony lifted the kid onto his bed and smiled at… He messed with the kids hair and rested on the bed with him.
"'Cause the second that you're gone they're gonna know." before he went to bed he grabbed my hand and said "Just 'cause I'm leavin' It don't mean that I won't be right by your side. When you need me and you can't see me in the middle of the night just close your eyes and say a prayer. It's okay, I know you're scared when I'm not here." Tony hugged the kid as tight as he could, he was safe no matter what.
"but I'll always be right there." Tony pointed to Pete's heart and the two fell into a sleep that they both need. Each had worried so much about everything and they need each other.
Time moves on and days change… Some time later.
"Even though I'm leavin', I ain't goin' nowhere. Dad, we'll be late, and Uncle Sam don't like to wait. He's got a big old plane that's gonna take me far away. I know I act tough, but there's a churnin' in my gut 'Cause I just can't call you up when things get rough" Pete was getting ready to leave on a mission that was somewhere in Russia. He was going undercover for the government and wouldn't be back for many months. Tony couldn't go, no matter how much he threatened.
Before I left, he hugged my neck and said "Just 'cause you're leavin', it don't mean that I won't be right by your side. When you need me and you can't see me in the middle of the night. Just close your eyes and say a prayer, it's okay, I know you're scared, I might be here but I'll always be right there." Tony and Pete both began to cry, their lives had changed so much from when Pete had needed him in the middle of the night but now Tony was the one who was going to miss him.
Years go by in a blink of a light…
"Even though you're leavin', I ain't goin' nowhere, Daddy, I'm afraid, won't you stay a little while?" Tony was fading and there was nothing Pete could do, he wanted to break down and cry. But he couldn't he had to stay strong.
"I never thought I'd see the day I had to say goodbye. Daddy, please don't go, I can't do this on my own. There's no way that I can walk this road alone." Tony grabbed his hand and said "Just 'cause I'm leavin', it don't mean that I won't be right by your side. When you need me, and you can't see me in the middle of the night. Just close your eyes and say a prayer, It's okay, boy, I ain't scared. I won't be here, but I'll always be right there. Even though I'm leavin', I ain't goin' nowhere… I ain't goin' nowhere" Thoose were Tony's last words and they would stay with Pete for the rest of his life.
