A/N Hey what's up, guys? I'm back with the twentieth-fifth chapter of the Spideychelle one-shots and drabbles series. First of all, I want to thank some of you for dropping reviews because that's what allows me to keep going with the stories like this. And second of all, I want to apologize for not updating because I've been super busy with school stuff since this is my final year in college. But anyway, let's get to the story. In this chapter, per request from Heinor Lopez, Peter gets a phone call and he receives devastating news that he would not be able to prepare for. So, sit back and enjoy this twentieth-fifth chapter.
All of the characters belong to the Marvel Studios and Pascal Pictures Production.
Chapter 25: A Devastating Phone Call
Peter Parker has been the happiest teenager since stopping Mysterio and exposing him to the public for staging the Elemental attacks. One day after school, Peter's phone rings and he answers it.
"Hello?" he answered.
"Is this Peter Parker?" the caller asked.
"Yeah, this is him," Peter responded.
"Mr. Parker, this is the Queens Hospital calling. We have some sad news. Your friend Stan Lee passed away," the caller said at the end of the line.
"What? That's not possible. You said he had more time," said Peter.
"It turns out that he doesn't. I'm sorry for your loss Mr. Parker," said the caller.
Peter doesn't want to hear anymore and he hangs up the call. He slumps down on the ground, tears falling down on his face until he starts crying. Back in the school hallway, MJ closed her locker and slung the backpack over her shoulders and walked out of the main entrance. She then hears someone crying and much to her surprise, it was Peter.
"Peter?" she asked.
Peter looked up at someone who said his name and MJ is shocked when she sees Peter's eyes were all puffy.
"MJ?" he asked.
MJ puts down her backpack and carefully walks over to Peter and sat down in front of him.
"Peter, what is it? What's wrong?" she asked.
"He's gone," he responded in his cracked voice.
"Who's gone?" she asked.
"My friend Stan Lee. The Queens Hospital just called me and said he passed away," he answered.
MJ covered her mouth. Peter has been talking about Stan Lee, who was a fan of Spider-Man as well as the superheroes. MJ carefully wraps her arms around Peter and pulls him into a hug. Peter wraps his arms around MJ as he cried.
"I'm so sorry Peter," said MJ.
Peter doesn't say anything and continued to cry and MJ does her best to console him by rubbing his back and allowed him to cry until he stopped.
"Can you take me home?" asked Peter.
"Of course. I'm not gonna be going anywhere," MJ responded.
MJ walked Peter back to his apartment as silence grows between them. While walking, MJ remembered that Peter had been good friends with Stan and they would have a conversation when they see each other on the streets or in a store. After walking with so much silence, Peter and MJ walked to Peter's apartment and they enter the suite.
"Peter, how was school today?" May asked as the two teenagers entered the apartment.
"It was okay, I guess. I'm gonna go to my room," Peter responded.
"MJ, is everything okay? Did Peter have a bad day at school today?" May asked.
"No, no. Peter had a good day. But I'll tell you later," MJ responded.
MJ walked Peter to his bedroom and she helped him put down his backpack on the floor until Peter laid down on his bed and starred at the ceiling and MJ carefully walked out of the bedroom and closed the door.
"MJ, what happened?" May asked as MJ walked to the living room.
"Peter got a phone call from the Queens Hospital today and they told him that his friend Stan passed away," MJ responded.
"Oh, my God. Peter would always talk about Stan every time," said May.
"Peter isn't going to anymore. I just couldn't believe it," said MJ.
After having a conversation with May, MJ walks back to Peter's bedroom and gently opened the door and she carefully walked to Peter's bed and laid down beside him.
"I'm so sorry, Peter. I really am," said MJ.
"You don't need to apologize, MJ. It's just, my heart hurts so much right now," said Peter.
"May I stay with you? Just in case if you're gonna cry again?" she asked.
"You're always welcome to stay with me anytime MJ," he responded.
MJ laid her head on Peter's chest and wrapped her arm around his waist and Peter wrapped his arms around her shoulder and her waist. Peter now feels more comfortable because he now has somebody else like MJ comforting him and his sadness.
And that's the end of the twentieth-fifth chapter. So, what did you guys think? And would you also believe it's almost been a year since the legend left us? I came up with this writing idea because one of my friends passed away two months ago and I still miss him. But, anyway. Sony and Disney had finally reached to a new agreement and we're finally getting the sequel to Spider-Man Far From Home. You guys know what do to. Make sure you drop those reviews and I'm gonna be taking more requests at the reviews section.
