When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

~My Immortal~Evanescence~

I pace back in fourth in my room, running my hand through my hair when there is a knock on the door. I bite on my lips as I exit my room, opening the door without looking to see who it is.

"My aunt!" Alex cries out.

"What?" I ask and she pushes me aside, entering. I stagger a bit before shutting the door and locking it.

"She's in the apartment" She sits on the couch, flipping on the news and biting on her thumbnail. "Spider-man better get his butt over there and save her" She mutters and I follow her to the couch.

"I think the cops have this one..." I mutter.

"No... my aunt is above the floor where the fire is... it's impossible to get up there without risking their butts. NYC cops don't take those risks" She answers and I sigh.

"How do you know she's home?" I try.

"She called my mom screaming about how she was trapped... Amanda, there are people jumping from the building for God's sake!"

"She won't jump"

"I know but she's going to die if Spidey doesn't hurry up" She says, turning up the volume. "There! He's there!" She exclaims, clapping her hands together.

"Yay" I say, trying to be happy for her.

"He's going to save her" She smiles at me and I nod. "Gosh, I could just marry him! Do you think under the mask he's our age?" She says, daydreaming.

"I don't know... maybe" I lie, smirking internally.

"I bet he's hot"

"Yeah" I smirk.

"Anyways... I'm think I'm going to crash on your couch if that's okay"

"Yeah, it's fine" I mumble, walking to my room.

I shut the door to block out the sounds of T.V that Alex blasts in the living room, collapsing on my bed and staring at the ceiling.

I must have fallen asleep because I awake to a knocking on my window. Yawning, I stretch and roll out of bed, going to the window and opening the curtains.

Masked eyes stare back at me and I jump, clutching my chest to keep my heart from jumping out before noticing it's just Peter. He pulls the window up, slipping through and into my room and I step back, giving him room.

"Alex is crashed in the living room" I say and he nods, pulling off his mask and placing a kiss on my lips.

"I got mostly everyone out" He sighs and I nod.

"What floor did you miss?"

"Oh, I didn't miss a floor... the cops took care of the ground ones" He shrugs and I nod, thankful that Alex's aunt was okay.

"Alex has a crush on you" I say and he raises an eyebrow.

"Spider-man you mean?"

"Yeah" I say and he nods.

"Kind of weird" He says and I nod. "I've got to head out and let Aunt May know I'm okay"

"Sounds good"I say and he kisses my forehead before slipping his mask back on and heading towards my window. "Oh, Peter!" I exclaim and he turns around. "What started the fire?"

"A bomb" He answers, running a hand through his hair. "Someone dropped a bomb through the window into the apartment."

"How?"

"I don't know... but I'm going to find out" He says and I nod.

He glances at me one last time before slipping out of my window and jumping off the fire escape. I sigh, shutting the window behind him and collapsing on my bed.

"Do you like waffles! Yeah you like waffles!" Alex screams in my ear to wake me up.

"Go away" I mutter, rolling over.

"But I made you waffles!" She exclaims.

"Leave"

"Waffles?"

"Go" I groan.

"But they're chocolate chip!" She cries out, pretending to pass out onto me.

"Get off!" I huff, trying to push her body off of mine.

"Oh, I feel so faint" She murmurs, holding her hand over her forehead.

"Ugh! You're unbelievable!" I complain, crawling out from under her and stomping out of my room.

"Yay!" She yells, happily skipping behind me.

I sit down at the table, drinking from the carton of orange juice sitting in front of my plate. Alex wasn't lying, she had made me chocolate chip waffles and I smile at this. I take a moment to praise her before beginning to shove my face.

"How's job searching?" She asks, shoving her face across the table from me.

"Eh..." I respond, taking another bite of the waffle.

"Wow... that's cool" She says, rolling her eyes. "You know I love these coversations we have"

"Yup" Is all I say and she sighs.

"Let's go shopping"

"No"

"Yes" She argues.

"No"

"Maybe?"

"No" I hiss.

"No to yes or no to no?"

"Yes to no" I respond.

"So yes?"

"No"

"No?" She raises an eyebrow.

"Yes!" I growl at her.

"Great, so it's a yes!" She hops up. "I'm going to borrow some of your clothes."

"I said no!"

"Really? because I heard a nice yes in there!" She laughs before disapearing into my room.

My phone buzzes across the table and I slam my hand over it before answering.

"What?" I snap.

"Well, goodmorning to you too" Peter's voice answers.

"Sorry..." I mutter.

"Cheer up, the suns out, birds are chirping"

"Shut up" I laugh. He chuckles on the other side of the line. "What's up?"

"I was wondering if you wanted to get some breakfast before I go to the tryouts?"

"Can't. Alex is dragging me out shopping" I sigh.

"You know you don't have to lie to me, just say no if you don't want to go"

"No... she's seriously dragging me out"

"And you agreed" His voice hints disbelief.

"Not Necessarily" I mutter, picking up my plate and putting it in the sink.

"Hmm, how about lunch?"

"I don't know" I hop onto the counter, swinging my legs.

"Aw, come on"

"I'll have to let you know... I have a pretty busy schedule... fighting crime and stuff" I say and he chuckles.

"and what do you call yourself?" He questions.

"Queen Bootylicious" I say and he laughs again.

"any special powers?" He pauses. "Nevermind... don't answer that"

"Awh" I joke and he chuckles.

"So... lunch it is?"

"I never agreed to that?"

"Oh... but you did" I can almost feel his smirk.

"Hmm, why do I not recall this"

"Love you!" He says before hanging up the call.

I smile before slipping the phone into my pocket. Alex exits out of my room before yelling at me to change. I roll my eyes, slipping off the counter and jumping in the shower. After I shower I slip on purple skinny jeans and a black tanktop, letting my brown hair hang in waves down my shoulders and back.

"Let's go!" Alex says, hooking arms with me and I grab Kaleb's necklace off the counter with my keys before we exit out the door.

Today was going to be a long day.

Don't you just love her friends?
