Chapter 5: I Feel Your Heartbeat

My alarm went off at 9 so I had an hour before Peter came to get change and have some breakfast. After getting ready, I strolled into the kitchen to see that I was home alone. Dad had to work at 9 and so did Ashely. So it just left me, by myself, with a bowl of cereal. I was just washing up my dishes the the kitchen sink when I heard a knock at the door. I put my dishes away and quickly walked up to the door to see Peter standing there, holding onto his skateboard behind his back.

"Hey," I said as I shoved my hands into my jacket pockets. I turned my head around and saw that it was 9:49. "You're early"

Peter let out a small laugh and showed me that signature smile he had.

"Yeah," he said. "I hope you don't mind"

"No, not at all," I turned around and grabbed my purse that sat on the coffee table beside the front door. "Let's go" I said as I closed the door behind me and we walked down the hallway together, to the elevator.


We decided to go to Starbucks for coffee. Him, getting a plain old coffee, and I, getting a Pumpkin Spice Lattee, sat outside, shipping on our drinks, as we worked on our 'baby'.

"So, boy or girl?" He asked as he patted his piece of paper with his pencil.

I laughed.

"I don't think we really have a choice for that" I said as I took a ship of my lattee.

Peter dug his hand into his pocket and pulled out a penny. "

"Heads, its a boy, tails, its a girl,"

I nodded and he flipped the penny into the air and bounce on our table and slowly landed onto tails.

"Girl it is then"

"Now we need a name for our daughter" I said.

"How about...June"

"Are you just getting lazy now?"

"Ok...Viloet," I shook my head. "April, Sarah, Cassy"

I laughed.

"How about something more creative?" I asked.

"Ok if this baby were real, what would you name her?"

I hesitated for a second. I already knew the answer. I've known the answer for three years and I wasn't going to change my mind about it.

"Um," was the first thing that came out of my mouth as I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "Ka-Katherine" I said now looking to his dark brown eyes.

A smile broke across his face. "Katherine? Nice name. Why would you name her that?"

I hesitated again. I didn't want to answer but I knew I would looked stupid if I just sat there in silence.

"It was...my mom's name"

"What happened to her?" he asked with concern.

"She...died. Three years ago"

"I'm sorry about that. My parents died when I was little. So I know what its like"

I felt so horrible after that. Here I was, moping about losing my mom and Peter losing both parents and still going on with the world like there's no tomorrow.

"Pete," I said. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean-"

"It's cool," I still looked at him with concern on his face. "Really, it is. It was such a long time ago, I don't really remember them" He said as he took a ship of his coffee. I gave him a smile as I took a ship of mine.


"Come on, hurry!" Stevie called as she dragged me down an alley way.

I still couldn't believe I was doing this. I mean, come on, I was the Chief of Police daughter. If he saw me doing this, he'd kill me on the spot...including the whole city of New York.

"I still can't believe you're wear that" she said looking from my boots to my jacket.

"What?" I asked. "I use to wear stuff like this to all the parties back in Roseboro"

"Hunny, this ain't Roseboro. You're going to be getting a lot of attention from the outfit," she then looked at my shirt that showed just a little bit of cleavage. "And not the right ones" she said, now looking ahead

I grabbed the sides of my jacket and hugged my body with it, covering my shirt. Stevie then walked around the corner where we walked into a tall, bulky man, blocking the entrance, with his arms crossed over his chest. Stevie walked up to him with a smile.

"Hey, Rollo" she said to him.

A smile broke across the man's, known as Rollo, face with his arms still crossed over his chest.

"Hey, Stevie" he said.

Stevie then backed away showing me still standing there, still hugging my body.

"Do you think you can let my friend and I in?"

"Anything for you" he said as he backed away and opened the door for us.

"Thanks Rollo" she said as she dragged me in.

We walked into a green light, that then became red, then yellow and the cycle continued and the place was packed and loud. You could barley get thru or hear your own thoughts.

"Nice, huh?!" she screamed at me.

"Yeah!" I screamed back.

"Come on! Let's dance!"

"But-" before I could finish that sentence, Stevie was already dragging me to the dance floor.

"Dance!" she screamed at me, now on the dance floor. She dragged me down here so fast, I didn't even notice.

"But-"

"But nothing! Just dance!" she said before she started dancing. Swaying her hips to the beat and moving her feet to the rhythm. I have to admit, she was very good. I didn't expect her to be this good but you could tell she was getting some attention from all the boy's eyes glued to her.

"Now you go!"

I let out a sigh, knowing I wouldn't win this, and started dancing. I closed my eyes as I moved my hips to the music and felt my feel sliding across the dance floor. I don't know why but every time I dance, by myself or at a party, I always feel comfortable dancing with my eyes closed at first. When I close my eyes, I feel comfortable and the rhythm just comes to me and I dance the way I feel like. Just block the rest of the world out and dance.

It was time to open my eyes then. I slowly opened them as saw everyone standing around me. Cheering me on. Even Stevie was. Screaming at the top of her lungs as she cheered and clapped for me. I smiled as I continued dancing across the dance floor. Feeling comfortable with my surroundings.

After the song finished and I was finished dancing. Everyone cheered as I stood there smiling at them. Stevie walked up to me and wrapper her arm around my shoulder.

That was amazing, Anna!" she screamed. "You're a natural"

"Thanks!" I said back. I looked behind me and saw the bar. "I'm just going to grab a drink!" I said.

I left her alone and walked up the steps to the bar and leaned against it, waiting for the bartender.

"Why hello," some guy, who was kind of cute, leaned against the bar beside me and smiled as he stared into my eyes.

"You're that girl that was just dancing there, right?" he asked pointing the the dance floor behind us. I nodded.

"Yup," I said. "That was me"

"You're great! I'm Conner, by the way" he said as he extended his hand for a shake.

"Annabelle," I said as I took his hand and shook it. "I'm new here"

"Where you from?"

"North Carolina"

"Nice. Can I buy you a drink?"

"Thanks but I can't-"

"Come on? Just one drink. One little drink won't hurt"

"Well I..I guess"

He smiled at me and then turned to the bartender next to us.

"Two beers!"

Yeah, one beer was ok but after the forth drink, I started to get tipsy. Conner just kept giving me more to drink and more to drink.

"Come on, drink more" he said as he passed me the bottle.

"No," I said barley standing. "I'm good"

"Come on, lets take you outside," he said as he grabbed my hand. "You look like you're going to fall over" he said as he dragged me out.

"But...But...my friend she-" I said, looking behind me trying to find Stevie.

"Don't worry about it" Conner said still dragging me out the door.

We walked out the club and Conner dragged me around the corner into the dark alley.

"What are we doi-" I started saying but was cut off by Conner pinning me against the cold brick wall with his lips pressed hard against mine.

I pulled him off.

"What are you doing?" I asked in disbelief.

"Come on. Don't tell me you don't want this as much as I want to" he said before he tried kissing me again but I pushed him off.

"Don't" I said as I tried pushing him away but he leaded in again.

"Don't!" I repeated again, but louder, but Connor tried again which ended up with me slapping him across the face. I then saw the anger splash across his face as he tried pressing his lips against my mouth and tried pulling down my skirt.

"Stop it!" I screamed as I tried pushing him off but was defenseless but I didn't give up. "Stop it!" I kept repeating and repeating.

All of a sudden, Connor was pulled back and thrown against the brick wall across from me. I froze as I stared at him as he tried pushing himself off the ground. He looked up at me and glared at me.

"What did you do you little bitch" he said as he walked up to me.

"Nothing! I swear" I said before Spider-Man jumped in front of me, grabbed Connor's arm and wrapped it behind him.

"Now tell the lady you're sorry," Spider-Man said. "Before I hurt you and embarrass you in front of all you're little friends in the club.

Connor looked at me as he winced from the pain Spider-Man was giving him. He let out a sigh.

"Sorry"

"Good boy," Spider-Man said. "Now," he then walked Connor up to the front of the club's entrance and threw him, head first, into the club and the doors closed behind him. I stared at Spider-Man as he walked up to me and wrapped him arm around my waist.

"Come on," he said. "Let's get you home"

"You mean?" I asked in shock as he shot a web out of the other hand and we swung away into the New York sky.

I freaked out as I hugged onto his body with my eyes shut. I've been scared of heights since I was a little kid and I always will be.

"Don't worry," he said. "I got you"

I slowly opened my eyes as looked down the the city below us and the New York buildings in front of us as smile broke across my face. It was beautiful. This way of the city that I've never seen before.

We then landed onto my apartment building roof.

"How was that?" he asked. I turned around and leaned over the side and puked my lungs out. "I'm going to take a guess and say it wasn't good"

I turned around and looked at him while I planted my butt onto the side.

"Let's just say, booze and swinging through the city don't mix"

"Just thought it would be the fastest way home plus you were suppose to meet me here at 11:30"

I pulled my phone out of my jacket pocket and saw that it was 11:45.

"Crap! I was late," I looked at him and started into his yellow glassy eye. "I'm sorry"

"Ah, no biggie. All in a days work"

"And with that creep from before, thanks. I really appreciate it"

"No problem. I need to watch out for you. You haven't even been here for a week and you've already been attacked twice"

"You're right," I said with a laugh. "How could I ever repay you?" I said in my dramatic voice.

"By meeting me here on Monday at 8. Don't be late"

"Monday? Why not tomorrow?"

"Just because I'm Spider-Man doesn't mean I don't have life"

I let out a sigh.

"Fine! Monday it is"

"See ya, Annabelle"

"See ya, Spidey" I said before Spider-Man jumped off the building and swung away into the night.
