Hi friends! Back with next chapter guys! Hope you like it. Thank you for reading this story
Enjoy :-)))
Tony was glad John forced him to go early at work. The tons of paperwork proved much needed distraction from the train of thoughts that drove to his mind. He was really upset after receiving divorce papers even though a part of him had actually moved on with John. But still Steve was his husband, the first love of his life and also Peter's father. It pained that after signing these papers, it would be officially over between them. The man sighed trying to concentrate on his work. It was good thing John offered to stay with Peter until he went to school. He was now starting to trust him with his son.

"Hello"
"Tony where are you?"
Tony was shocked to hear Steve's voice "Steve?"
"Are you with Peter?"
Tony was taken aback at the question and he frowned "Peter? No...wait what's going on?"
"You need to get to Peter now!"
Tony noticed how worried Steve sounded which confused him even more "Steve will you tell me what's going on?"
"Peter called me few minutes back..I think he's in trouble"
"Trouble?" Tony got up from his chair "What did he say? Where is he?"
"I.. I don't know.. he didn't say anything.. I just..Tony please find him"
Tony narrowed his eyes "He didn't say anything and you think he's in trouble?"
"Yes"
"Are you crazy?"
"Tony please listen to me. I'm still half an hour away from the city and..."
"No Steve! You listen to me" Tony raised his voice "Are you and Peter playing another silly games because I'm really sick of it now. You just send me divorce papers so stop with all this nonsense"
Steve pressed his lips with tears glistening in his eyes. This was his fault Tony didn't believe in him anymore. He lost Tony's trust on him because of his previous actions. Steve took a deep breath. This wasn't the time to sulk on the past. His son needed him so he will do whatever it takes to reach to him "Tony if you ever felt anything for me then please listen to me and get to our son" he didn't wait for reply and hung up the call

Adrenalin flooded into Peter's body, it pumps and beats like it's trying to escape from his chest. He thought his heart was going to explode with fear as he caught John's leg with both hands, trying to ease the weight on him so he could breathe easily. A soft whimper left his lips when John added more pressure, almost crushing him under his heavy boots "I'll take you to a place where no one will ever find you...not even Tony"
Peter shook his head, tears rolling down from the corner of his eyes. He mustered up some strength and raised his leg. He kicked John's knee and gasped when the boot was finally lifted from his chest. The boy saw John staggered few steps back and that was all he needed to get away from the man as soon as possible
Peter stumbled and ran out of the room. He heard loud curse from John and pushed himself towards the main door. His hands reached the handle and twisted the knob only to find it was locked "No!" he tried many times but couldn't get the door open. John's footsteps reached his ears and he panicked. The teen ran and hid under the dinning table, bringing his knees up to his chest. He shook terribly as more tears fell from his eyes "Dad..where are you?"
"Bug! You can't get away from me!"
Peter covered his ears

Steve did a sharp left turn and broke yet another signal. He slammed his hand on the horn as he tried to overtake a car, hearing a yell from the driver but he choose to ignore. Nothing was important than Peter. Every second felt like an hour to him. Steve was glad now he was only few blocks away "I'm coming baby. Hang on"

Peter's eyes were enlarged and the hairs on the back of his neck bristled. He tried to breathe in and out but air refused to get to his lungs. The more he heard John's voice, the more he shook. He felt like an idiot for going against the man without any backup and now he didn't know what John had planned for him. He should have..
Suddenly a large hand grabbed his left arm and roughly pulled him out under the table. Peter cried out when John dragged him by his collar to the middle of the hall "You can't hide from me forever"
"Aaah!" Peter gasped as the collar tightened around his neck, hands clawing at the same time on John's arms. His eyes widened when he saw the man pick up the vase from the centre table "Time to go for a ride"
John kept a tight grip on Peter's collar as he grabbed a vase, aiming to bring it down on the boy. He raised his hand only to get stopped in mid air
"You son of a bitch! Get away from my son!"

Steve jumped out from his car. Not bothering to close the door, he made a mad dash towards the house. He cursed when he found the door was locked and quickly decided to check for any open windows
Steve mentally thanked God when he found an open window and crawled inside. A silent gasp escaped at the scene infront of him. His son was being held by John and was struggling to get free. His heart leaped out of his chest when the man raised a vase to hit his son
Steve pushed his legs to an inhuman speed and caught John's hand before he could harm his son "You son of a bitch! Get away from my son!" he drove a hard punch at the man's jaw sending him spiralling to the floor
Peter looked up to see his father and felt relief rush into his heart "Pops" he called out softly
Steve knelt down and immediately gathered his boy in his arms "I'm here baby...I got you now... I'm here"
Peter sobbed burying himself into Steve's arms "Po..Pops"
Steve tightened his hold on Peter and hushed him softly "It's okay... You're okay now Pete. I'm not going to let anything happen to you"
Peter nodded but couldn't stop crying. He was safe now.
"Don't make promises you can't keep"

Tony couldn't concentrate. Steve's phone call had planted all sorts negative thoughts in him. Was he serious about Peter? Was his son actually in trouble? He checked the time. Peter should be at school by now. The father inside him wanted to make sure Peter was alright and prove Steve wrong so he picked up his cell and dialled Peter's number
Tony frowned when the call responded as unreachable. He pressed his lips and dialled John's number. His worry and doubts only heightened when the second number also came unreachable
"What the hell is going on? Why isn't anyone answering?" Tony mumbled and decided to call Steve "You better be wrong Steve"
Tony barely heard one ring before his call was picked up "Steve what the..." he paused when a voice reached his ears
"You won't be able to save him from me!"
