A/N: New chapter! SO what do you guys think about Tom Holland as the new Spiderman? I am honestly not s o thrilled about it since i really love andrew, but I feel like he has a Peter Parker vibe! I think he definitely deserves a shot!

It was times like these that made Peter truly appreciate being Spiderman. I mean who else can casually swing through sky scrapers and then just sit on top of one as if it were a bench? He could truly admire the sunset and its beauty. He sighed and carefully laid down. He felt so exhausted after a long day of fighting crime. He could just lay down and sleep right here, right now. I mean a five minute nap won't hurt, right?

He saw himself in Gwen's room. Her intense blue eyes stared at him. Peter was wearing half of his suit. His upper body was exposed and full of bloody scratches. He was holding Gwen's chin as he grinned and said, "They won't see us leave."

They were suddenly swinging through the streets of New York until they reached their destination: the clock tower. He had tried to make this as perfect as possible. There was a blanket laid out, cute pillows, a nice view...and he wasn't talking about New York's skyline. He couldn't take his eyes off the beautiful blonde sitting right in front of him smiling.

"Wow. This is very impressive," She said as she observed her surroundings.

"Yeah?" Peter's eyes lit up. He was glad she liked it.

"Yes!" She exclaimed. "I mean, we're having a date on the clock tower! Its amazing!"

"Well, Spiderman made it possible."

She scooted closer to Peter. "He did, and I'll thank him later, but right now I want to spend time with Peter Parker."

Peter could feel his chest warm up. It was a sweet feeling he got when he was around her. Peter Parker has always been invisible while everybody praised and loved spiderman, but that wasn't the case with Gwen. She loved both, but he knew that she loved Peter Parker more and thats whats worth it to him. She loved his imperfections, geekiness, awkwardness, his smile, his laugh, his eyes, everything that everybody didn't care to see behind the mask. She loved HIM, and he loved her, too. He loved her more than he thought he was capable of loving.

He leaned in closer and cupped her face in his hands. His lips met hers. The kiss was slow and sweet. He slowly lowered her from her sitting position so he could follow. He started kissing her neck as one of his hands made its way towards her thighs and the other searched for her hand. Once he found it, their hands immediately intertwined. He caressed her exposed thigh, and his lips met hers once again. Her one free hand went to his hair. She suddenly broke the kiss and looked into his brown doe eyes. "I love you, Peter."

"I love you, too."

He was suddenly at the Oscorp tower. His spiderman suit was torn, he had no mask...oh and he was currently being choked by lizzy. At least thats what he called doc...aka the scientist who decided it was a magnificent idea to turn himself into a lizard and the whole world as well. He heard gun shots being fired. The teenage mutant ninjas' cousin, aka lizzy, let go of Peter from the shock and pain of the bullets.

"He's not alone," said Captain Stacy. He looked...badass...as usual.

The scene changed again. He was running desperatley towards something.

Everyday, for as long as I can remember, my father has left every morning and put a badge on his chest and strapped a gun to his hip.

He heard Gwen's worried voice as he ran. He finally saw who he was looking for. Captain Stacy was on the floor and blood covered his abdominal area like a blanket.

And everday, for as long as I can remember, I haven't known if he was gonna make it home.

Her voice taunted him as he approached the Captain. No. This couldn't be happening. This couldn't be happening.

Memories started flashing as Captain Stacy died in front of him.

You're gonna make enemies.

Memories of Gwen, his aunt, his uncle flashed.

People will get hurt.

He was knocking on Gwen's bedroom window.

Sometimes people closest to you.

Gwen was hugging him in the school hall after she found out about the death of Peter's uncle.

So I want you to promise me something okay?

Gwen opened her window. He got beautiful damaged flowers out of his backpack.

Leave.

Gwen hit the lizard in order to get Peter free of it's grip. The lizard approached her and she backed away in fear.

Gwen.

He was kissing Gwen on the terrace. The scene changed to them arguing on the phone for her to get out of the Oscorp tower.

Out of it.

His last sentence echoed and the memories kept flooding in. He felt his heart and head pounding. He felt like he couldn't breathe. He couldn't breathe.

Peter jolted awake and quickly gained his balance again. He was close to falling off the edge of a twenty story building. He noticed how short he was of breath. Crap. He had one of those dreams again. He burried his face in his hands to try not to scream. After a few moments he looked back up at the skyline. It was a nice navy blue color and-

WAIT

NAVY BLUE?!

NO!

SHIT!

He quickly got his back pack next to him and searched for his phone. Once he found it, he checked the time.

9:28pm

He closed his eyes and made a face of frustration. He promised Gwen he would go to dinner with her and her family at 8:30. He was an hour late! I don't even think you can call that late! He basically stood them up! He couldve sworn it was 6:30 when he took his nap! But no! He took a nap for 3 fucking hours! He was still gonna go to the restaurant, and if he didn't find them there, he would go to her house. He owed an apology big time.

He entered through the fancy glass double doors. He heard a lot of clicking noises and people talking and murmuring. There was a receptionist that eyed him from head to toe. He couldn't blame her. He wore his casual old clothes to one of the most fancy restaurants of Manhattan, but he had no time to stop by his house. He was late enough as it is. He would call Gwen, but his phone decided it would be a great idea to die on him.

"Sir, how may I help you?" the receptionist said hesitantly.

"Hi," Peter said awkwardly. "I have a reservation."

"Umm," the blonde receptionist gave him a look. "Name, please."

"Stacy..."

She looked down at the list and her brows furrowed. "There must be a mistake," She looked back up at Peter. "The Stacy's already checked in."

"Yeah, um, Im their guest but I was a little late... Are they still here?" Peter was hoping the answer was 'yes'.

"Yes, they are. They have not checked out."

Peter let out a breath. He felt like a big boulder was lifted off his back.

"Great!" Peter started walking past the booth but the woman stopped him.

She gave him a fake smile. "Wait here, please." She walked off into the the part of the restaurant that was filled with tables. She was probably gonna go notify the Stacy's that there was a weird looking teen that claimed that he was their guest. He sighed.

In a few moments she came back, but she wasn't alone. Gwen was beside her.

She pursed her lips when she saw Peter.

"Gwen-" Peter started to apologize but Gwen interrupted him.

"Come on." She extended her hand and Peter took it. She intertwined her fingers and after a few moments so did he. She never failed to surprise him. He was surprised she even decided to still let him join.

But she didn't lead him to the table where her family was sitting. She led them to an empty hallway that lead to the restrooms.

"Are you okay?" She immediately asked him. Now he really felt like an asshole. She was probably thinking off all these bad things that happened to him when in reality he was just SLEEPING.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," he quickly answered so she could stop worrying. She sighed in relief.

"What happened?" She asked.

Peter ran his fingers through his hair. She moved closer to him.

"Is everything okay, Peter?"

He cupped her face and looked into her eyes. "Yes. Im okay. I really am. Im so sorry about all of this."

She slightly smiled and put one of her hands over his and detached it from her cheek. She intertwined her fingers with his.

"I think you're hungry. Your stomach has been growling this whole time."

Peter chuckled.

"Come on. We'll talk about this later." She said with a grin.

They were still holding hands when they got to the table. Gwen's mom and brothers smiled when they saw them approach.

"Peter," Gwen's mom greeted him. "You made it!"

Peter sat down next to Gwen and across from her mom.

"Im so sorry im this late!" He immediately started to apologize.

She smiled genuinely at him. "Its okay, Peter. Gwen tells me you have a complicated life, and I understand if somethings don't go the way you planned."

He glanced at Gwen then at her mom and returned the smile. They were both so alike. Not only in the looks but in their personality. They were forgiving, understanding-

"And I must say," Gwen's mom interrupted his thoughts with a playful voice. "Your wardrobe was an excellent choice." He chuckled at her sarcasm.

They're alike in that too. They have a sense of humor.

"Yup," Peter responded. "Seems like the receptionist loved it as well." They all chuckled.

Turns out that Gwen and her family had not ordered food until about nine since they were waiting for Peter for so long. The food had taken about half an hour to be served that when he got here, they were barely halfway finished with their meals. He noticed how well he got along with Gwen's family. They laughed, cracked jokes, and ate without awkwardness.

He was halfway through with his meal when he heard screams and roars coming from outside the restaurant. Gwen's eyes immediatley shot to Peter. She quickly put her hand on top of his.

"Peter," she pleaded. He knew she was saying to not go out there.

"Oh my goodness," Gwen's mom exclaimed. "Whats all the commotion?"

Everybody in the restaurant started to get alarmed. Peter stood up, and as soon as he did, so did Gwen.

"Where are you guys going?!" Her mom exclaimed. "I need to go to the restroom." Peter quickly looked for an explanation.

"Umm," Gwen tried to look for one as well, but failed. What could she say? 'Ill go with you!'? No. Thats just weird.

"Peter," Gwen gave up on an excuse. "Please be careful." They all looked at them in confusion.

"People might break into the restaurant," She added so she could be in the clear. "Its dangerous."

Peter looked into her blue orbs. He remembered his dream and his promise at this very instance. "Which is why I have to do this." He quickly left and Gwen sat back down. She didn't know why, but she had a really bad feeling about tonight. Yes, she always feared him getting hurt, but this time it was different. It seemed like this time, she might actually lose Peter.
