Chapter 14: Keep the Earth Below My Feet

Peter and I landed in a back alley a couple blocks from my apartment building. He changed back into his normal cloths before he walked me home in the cold November air. It was nothing but silence that was between us. I couldn't understand why. It was like something changed once he took the red and blue suite off.

We walked around the corner and walked onto the street where my apartment building sat. Pete walked me upstairs and we stood on the front step of my apartment door in silence.

"Well," Peter said as he gestured to my door. "This is it"

I let out a sigh as I stared at the dark brown wooden door.

"Yeah" I said quietly before looking back into Peter's dark brown eyes where little pieces of his hair stuck out in front of them.

"Goodnight" Peter said as he leaned in and placed a soft kiss on my check.

He pulled away slowly. Like he was scared of what he just did was a big mistake. I stood there, frozen as he did. He then pulled back and turned around about to take a step but I piped up and stopped him.

"Pete," I said. He slowly turned and looked at me through the corner of his eye. "I just wanted to say...thanks"

"For what?" He now turned his body to fully look at me.

"For everything. For telling me everything. I know I got mad at you and I was total bitch for freaking out on you like that and...normally other people would just walk out on me. Not want anything to do with me after that. I mean, I would walk out on me...but not you. Why?"

Peter leaned towards me a bit.

"Because I care about you, Annabelle. And I meant what I said before back a the school. I will tell you everything. I told you my biggest secret and you just told me yours"

We stayed like the for a couple seconds processing what he just said. Peter looked like he regretted what he just said. Like he was scared I was going to be turned off by why he just said but I wasn't. It made my heart stop from a couple seconds. Not in a bad way but a good way. The way Peter cared about me truly made me feel loved

Peter could tell what I was thinking, I hoped, so he stared leaning in for a kiss and I responded by doing the same thing. As we leaned in closer, feeling his breath brush against my mouth. We almost touched when the apartment door flew open and I turned my head only to meet up with a pair of familiar chocolate brown eyes.

A scream escaped from her mouth as it did in mine and I wrapped my arms around my older sister who I haven't seen in mouth. We giggled as he had our arms wrapped around each others necks.

"Ariel!" I yelled as I hugged her. We then pulled away so we could see a good view of each other. "What are you doing here?"

"Well, I got off early for the break so I came 'home'," she said with a big grin. "How are you?"

I nodded with a smile.

"I'm great"

Ariel looked out through the corner of her eye and turned when she made eye contact with Peter. She then gave me an odd look before looking between Peter and I.

"Ah, Annabelle," she said with a smirk. "Whose this?" She asked, now focusing her attention on Peter.

Peter smiled at her as his hands were dug into his jacket pockets. I looked at Peter for a second before looking back at Ariel.

"This is Peter Parker my," I looked back at Peter and smiled. "My boyfriend"

Peter smiled back. We started at each other until something hard smacked against my shoulder.

"Ow!" I yelped out as I started rubbing my shoulder. I glared as I looked up at Ariel who was smiling the biggest smile I've ever seen on her.

"Oh my god!" She exclaimed and jumped Peter by wrapping her arms around his shoulders.

Peter patted her back as he looked at me, wondering what to do. Ariel then pulled away and smiled between Peter and I.

"I can't believe you finally moved on from that asshole, Noah! Good for you!" She exclaimed as she slammed the same shoulder she punched and I reached up and rubbed it, again.

Peter let out a chuckle as he extended his hand towards Ariel.

"Hi," he said with his signature grin. "Nice to meet you"

Ariel grabbed Peter's hand, roughly, and shook his hand.

"Wow," she then looked at me. "And a gentleman," she turned her head back towards Peter. "Nice you meet ya, Peter," She then stepped back and open the door and stepped back. "Would you like to come in?"

I turned and looked at Peter who looked a little skeptic.

"No that's fine," he turned and looked at me with his hands back in his jacket pockets. "I have to get home to Aunt May. She's probability worried as it is"

I nodded.

"I understand"

"I'll talk to you tonight?" He asked, referring to the nightly visits he did while he was on patrol.

I shook my head.

"Um, no that's ok. You're probability busy tonight"

"I can make time" He said with a smile.

I smiled back.

"Ok. I'll talk to you tonight. Bye"

"Goodbye"

He leaned in and softly kissed my cheek one last time before giving me a smile and turning around and walked down the hallway. I felt my cheeks heat up as I watched his disappear.

"Wow," Ashely broke out. I turned and looked at her leaning against the door frame. "That was super cheesy,"

I glared at her and gave her a smack on the shoulder.

"Hey! What was that for?"

"Payback for two times you just did that and for being annoying"

"I haven't seen you and months and this is the way you act towards me?"

We glared at each other before bursting into giggles and hugging each other again.

"I've missed you so much" I said as we were wrapped in each other arms.

"I've missed you too," She replied. She pulled back and looked at me. "Come on. Suppers ready and we have a guest" Ariel pulled away and walked into the apartment.

I gave her a questionable look before following her in and closing the door behind me.

"Who?"

"A scientist at OSCORP. She's the new head or something like that. She's helping Dad with that Dr. Connor's case and Ashely insisted we invited her over for dinner"

Dr. Connor's name sent shivers up my spine. The memory of the attack flooded through my mind when I heard or read that name. I set my purse beside the door as I followed Ariel into the dining room, where we heard chatter.

"Annabelles home" Ariel said as she walked into the dining room and took a seat in my usual spot.

I walked in and saw Dad sitting in his spot, Ashely in her's and a woman, maybe in her mid 30s sitting beside Ashely. When they saw me walk in, Dad, Ashely and the woman all stood up and walked up to me.

"Annabelle," my dad said. "I'd like you to meet the head scientist at OSCORP. Dr. Anya Cross"

I looked from my dad to the petite sized green eyed woman with short brunette hair.

"Hello Annabelle," she said through a thick Russian accent. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you"

It made him sick. Watching the two walk home together. They've only been split for three and a half months and she was already moving onto another man...no...not man. A boy. Noah knew he was ten times better than that puny little Parker. What did he have that Noah didn't? Noah was the star of the football team, he had the best truck in his high school and he had the money. Hell, he could even get whatever girl he wanted...but he only wanted one brown eyed beauty. The girl he had a crush on since the 7th grade.

Annabelle was that girl and he wouldn't stop until she was his again.

Still in New York, staying at his aunt's place, Noah decided to keep tabs on Annabelle. He needed to know what was going on between those two. He missed them and the end of their school day and couldn't find them until now when he was parked a coupe blocks down from Anna's apartment building. Noah slowly followed them in his red pick-up truck until the two disappeared into her building.

Noah needed to make a point to the little loser that Annabelle was his and only his. He also needed to make a point to Annabelle that she needed to take him back and that they were meant for each other. He just had to prove it and beating up puny Parker was going to prove that.

Noah placed the heal of his boot on the sidewalk across the street and then planted both before closing the door behind him.

This was it. It was now or never.

Noah made his way down the street, planning on what to do first. Punch Parker in the face or break his arm? It didn't matter. As long as he proved a point. Noah was soon pulled out of thought when a figure jumped in front of him and pulled him into an alleyway. Fuck, he couldn't be mugged at this time.

"Get your fucking hands off me before I beat the shit out of you!" Noah yelled at the figure as they stood in the alley.

A pair of hands were raised in front of Noah, showing him that the figure was not a threat.

"It's ok," the figure said in a calming voice. "I'm a friend"

Noah looked at the figure hidden in the shadows. He could see the outline of the blonde hair on top of it and the trench coat it had on. Noah fixed himself off and brushed his jacket where the figure grabbed him.

"Well that's one way to greet someone, friend," the figure didn't respond. "Who the hell are you suppose to be anyway?"

There was a moment of silence until the figure walked out of the shadows and into the light and appeared to be the man who had been on the front of the news papers for weeks. Noah stared at him a awe.

"You...You're-"

"Dr. Connors," The scared ex-doctor said. "Yes, that would be eye"

"What do you want? Money? I can give you money" Noah said as he was shaking in fear, trying desperately to dig in his back pocket and pull out his favorite wallet. The one Anna got them from Valentine's Day, nine months ago.

Dr. Connors rolled his eyes as he stared at the scared boy.

"Put that damn thing away! I'm not here to hurt you"

"Then...what do you want?" Noah asked as he crossed his arms over his chest. The Doctor stared at Noah for a couple of seconds.

"You're help"

Noah let out a loud scuff.

"How would I help with whatever you are doing," Noah looked back at the doctor who was now glaring at him and Noah fell scared under his stare. "What...What exactly do you need help with?"

"Getting my revenge on Peter Parker"

Just like that, Noah's attention was on full alert by those few words. He never heard anything so beautiful in his lifetime. The doctor grinned at Noah's excitement.

"I can see you're rather...amused by this preposition"

"Hell yeah!" Noah exclaimed. "I want nothing more. That little punk took my girlfriend"

"And I take it you want the girl back?"

"And Parker to get a little beating"

"Well I can guarantee Parker will get what he deserves," Dr. Connor's then sighed. "And I can guarantee you'll get the girl back," Noah jumped in excitement. "But, you must help us in return"

"Hell yeah! I'll do anything! Whatever you ask"

Dr. Connors grinned as he started at the stupid boy in front of him. Killing Peter Parker was going to be the easiest thing in the world with this bloke around
