People's startled gasps echo through the subways cart and I feel Peter pull me closer to him. I don't realize I'm shaking until Peter grabs my hand reassuringly.
"What's going on" I whisper to him, afraid to speak to loud.
I can barely make out his face through the dim emergency lights but I can notice the creasing of his eyebrows as he thinks about what to do in the situation.
"Peter?" I try again, growing more nervous.
"Attention all passengers. We are having some technical difficulties. P-please just give us a moment. Thank you for your patience." A voice projects from the subways small speakers.
"Something's not right" Peter finally speaks. "He stuttered"
I look up at him and he stands up from where he was sitting, pulling me up with him.
"What are you doing?" I question nervously.
"We're getting off" He answers quickly, pulling me towards the doors.
I dig my heels into the ground, confused. "What about everyone else?"
"They're not who he's after" He answers simply, working on prying the doors open.
"Who's he? Harry? You think he did this?"
"Stop asking questions and just trust me" Peter releases my hand to get a better grip on the door and my nerves immediatly spike along with my heart rate.
I did trust him. I was just scared. The people around my watched Peter with curiosity, no one speaking up. They just sat in thick silence.
A loud creak sounds and I jump as Peter finally pries the doors apart and jumps out of the cart. He turns around, grabbing my waste and lifting me out.
The ground in the subway tunnel is uneven and I almost trip a few times as Peter drags me down the tunnel near the closest emergency exit.
"Is this safe?" I question as I sumble over part of the track.
"I should have never suggested dinner tonight" Peter sighs, running his free hand through his hair. "I was being selfish. and now look where we are" He lowers his voice as his pace quickens.
"Peter slow down, I keep tripping" He doesn't seem to hear me as he continues to mutter to himself about his stupid intentions.
"Peter!" I yelp as I trip over another piece of track and land on my knees.
He finally stops mumbling and bends down to my level, grabing my hand to help me up.
"Are you alright? Did you cut your knees open? Any blood? What hurts?" He panics. "Can you walk?"
"Peter, I'm fine" I push his grabby hands away.
He pauses his frantic panic and his eyes focus on something behind me. A silent curse slides off his tongue as he grabs me, throwing me to the ground and crawling over me in a quick motion.
I open my mouth to question it before I'm cut off by a loud bang.
Fragments of dirt are lifted from the ground as a grenade goes off from somewhere near us. Some pieces stick into my arms like glass and I let out a cry of pain. Another explosion goes off from near by and I'm pulled onto my feet before I can react.
"Run" Peter tells me sternly, pointing a direction down the tunnel and I hesitate before taking off in that direction.
Peters footsteps are nearby behind me and I push myself to speed up.
The tunnel falls silent accept for the padding of Peter and I's footsteps. I begin to grow more nervous, anticipating the next explosion.
The sounds of metal rolling across the tracks causes me to skid to a stop.
"Peter!" I scream before a burst of orange invades my vision and I'm thrown backwards into the tunnels hard wall.
My head smacks into it with a crack and slide to the ground, grasping my head. My ears ring with a high pitched whistle and everything around me is a blur of red lights.
I open my mouth to call out for Peter but my throat is dry and tears stream down my face from the pain and fear running through my body. My head pounds and I slide onto my back on the ground. My vision begins to darken before I feel someone touch my face.
My eyes flicker open, expecting Peter but I'm greeted by the cold smile of a familiar face.
"I'm guessing my warning before wasn't clear enough" Harry's voice is faint behind the ringing of my ears but it's there. I open my mouth to respond but I can't. "I really didn't want to have to do this but I had to put my point across."
"Screw you" I manage to spit out but it comes out weak and raspy.
"You're not looking to good..." He chuckles.
My vision clears a bit more and I can make out the green armor that covers his body.
"You're crazy" I hiss at him and he nods.
"I know honey" He responds, stroking my face.
"Where's Peter?" I rasp.
"Alive... for now" He shrugs before reaching into my pocket. I wiggle a bit to free of his touch and he slips my phone out. I watch silently crying as he dials a number, putting it on speaker.
"911 whats your emergency" The operators voice sounds.
"I found a girl in the subway tunnels who just can't take a hint" He speaks into the phone before ending the call and placing the cell phone by my head. "See you soon"
I open my mouth to scream at him how much I hate him. To leave Peter and I alone. But nothing comes out and my vision begins to blur again as I let out a sob. He smirks and walks away from my mangled body.
"Peter" I whisper weakly as my vision blackens, reaching my fingers out to grasp something, anything that would reassure me he's okay but my fingers met nothing but air and my eyes found nothing but darkness.
Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.
The constant sound fills my ears and I try to make a sound of annoyance but I can't seem to remember how. My eyelids flutter in attempt to open and someone squeezes my hand reassuringly.
After what feels like forever I finally manage to open my eyes all the way. A familiar mop of brown hair smiles down at me sadly.
"Peter" I whisper.
The events of what i remember last come flooding back into my mind and my eyes widen in panic. "Peter" I repeat more relieved.
He pulls me into an embrace and I wince a bit as a sharp pain runs through my body. He apologizes quickly and I lie back down.
"What happened" I mutter, my voice hoarse.
"I thought it was over" He whispers. "I thought you were gone" His eyes begin to sparkle with the hint of tears. "When I finally regained conciousness, he was walking away from you. I thought he..." He pauses, a tear escaping his eye. "I thought he killed you"
I remember the words he had whispered to me and a chill ran through my body.
"I crawled over to you and there was... there was blood everywhere and you were crying. But you weren't responding to me" He runs a hand through his hair, tighting his grip on my hand. "The first responders had tracked your phone. Harry had called 911. They rushed you onto a stretcher and they kept shaking you... you weren't responding" His voice cracked again. "Then I heard it. They were talking about no pulse and they brought all these machines out and I thought you were gone and they wouldn't let me see you" He buries his face in my stomach, his shoulders shaking as he cried.
I didn't know how to respond so I stroked his hair as he cried, tears running down my face.
"Ms. Silver?" A voice causes Peter to sit up quickly as the doctor enters my small hospital room. "I'm glad to see you're awake. You had quite the beauty sleep"
"How long was it out?" I questioned even though my throat was killing me.
"About 5 days. And this young man hasn't left your room since." The doctor nods towards Peter and a small smile appeared on my face. "It's good in a way that you rested. Your three fractured ribs are healing nicely and your grade 3 concussion is still there but better. You have some brain damage but nothing that can't heal. You're a very lucky girl"
I look over at Peter who gives me a worried smile, his eyes red and puffy.
"I'm just coming in to check up on you"
After he asks a few questions about how I'm feeling, he leaves the room.
Peter and I stare at each other for a few moments and even with my grade 3 concussion I knew what was next before Peter even opened his mouth.
Okay you can all hate me I understand. I kind of hate myself too so yeah.
I owe you guys all a deep apology for this long wait but I totally hope it was worth it and I swear I will start being more active on getting these chapters up!
I've just been so busy with school and family problems.
But I love you all and please don't be discouraged because of my lack of activity on here!
Please review and I promise I will update ASAP!
