❝ You should've told her how you feel. ❞
✧ CAUGHT IN WEBS ✧

(Y/N) (L/N)
I HAVE BEEN ABSENT for about 2 weeks now. Introducing me to the world as a Stark was something that made the world turn into a curve. The Internet blew up because of me.
My phone feels like it was about to blow up from all the notifications I got. People from school were spamming of friend requests from Snapchat and I earned like 3 million followers on Instagram and I have zero posts.
A lot of people from school messaged me on my social media accounts acting like we were friends! I don't even have friends! I don't even have a girl best friend!
And now it's too late to find one because they know who you are.
Even though my notifications are off the charts, there was only one person I was looking forward to find on my Phone; Peter Parker.
He hasn't texted me, called me, and he wasn't active on any gaming devices either.
Th thought of Peter abandoning me made my stomach churn. Seeing him almost breaking down when Stark requested for his suit was already painful on itself what more if he left and forgot about me.
Suddenly, my phone rang.
"Hey, kiddo, I got good news... You're back to school. Mr. Stark said it was enough punishment and he thought he didn't like you going to school."
"I'll pick you up at... 7 sharp."
"Alright, thank you Happy."
˚✧˳✧˚✧˳✧˚✧ 🕷 ✧˚✧˳✧˚✧˳✧˚
Well, this is it. The front door of Peter Parker.
My pride went down on its own when it was Peter who was in his vulnerable state that had come running through. I understand if he ghosted all of his social platforms, and who knows, maybe May confiscated his phone privileges.
I don't even know if he's mad at me...
Well, there's only one way to find out.
I knocked on the door three times. A few steps came closer as my heart went still with its phase. A lock detaches and the door swung opened by a tired-looking Peter.
A smile came crawling to my face while Peter had a slightly surprised expression. He blinked a few times as he pushes the door out a bit. "(Y/N)..?"
"Hey, Peter! Haha... Just so you know I haven't been attending school you know? And I pay a visit to make sure you were okay since you never left me a message... Are you okay?" I said as I examined his overall appearance.
He looked perfectly fine. He didn't look like he was in a miserable state, in fact, it seemed like he moved on.
"Y-Yeah, of course... Are you okay?" He questioned back, crossing arms. He looked uncomfortable.
"Well... Found out your okay, so, yep." I beamed out a grin as I scratched my flushed cheek. He sounded so forced with the question, I shouldn't have come, to be honest.
Peter and I had a moment of silence. He gulped and lets out a pitiful expression, he held no excitement in his eyes and had no curve on his lips. It was an inexpensive face instead. I'm expressionless but why when it comes to Peter this way, it feels like it's kinda okay.
"Um..." Peter suddenly muttered as I looked up with thrill as I await for his invitation for me to come inside like he always do.
"I'm a bit busy today. Had a long day in school and I'm exhausted..."
If I had known Peter, he wasn't the kind of man to make me feel unwelcomed on his home. By the way his tone verbalized the words, he was just making excuses.
'It's not a big deal... It's not a big deal! Calm down... You got this. This is Peter... Maybe he's just really tired—Maybe, he's just tired of me—No..! But what if he's really ghosting me..?'
A dejected gaze landed on the boy in front who has no plan to continue this conversation. I was gone for 2 weeks... He didn't even call or text me.
'God, stop being obsessed. He's just a friend and he has a life. It's not like we're in a relationship...'
"(Y/N)? Are you alright..? I-I'm sorry... Do you want me to walk you ho—"
"It's fine. I can handle myself. Good luck with whatever you're doing." I said promptly before walking away and not giving him the time to explain himself further.
"(Y/N)! W-Wait..." Peter called out to me. There was no energy. I walked away and he didn't chase for me as he would always do.
'He didn't care... Simple as that. He just didn't care. Peter doesn't care... Who cares?! Even my dad doesn't care about me! So, why give a damn about a guy who didn't feel the same!'
I'm an easy person. Don't want me, okay bye.
I should really stop blaming my Dad, we're cool now but going back...
I hate it. My heart always stayed winning. Remember when I said I don't like prom? I started to look forward to homecoming... And it's all because of that stupid Spider on that building.
˚✧˳✧˚✧˳✧˚✧ 🕷 ✧˚✧˳✧˚✧˳✧˚
"(Y/N)! W-Wait..!" Peter called out to (Y/N) who didn't dare to look back at his downhearted expression. His way of thinking was erroneous that he couldn't swallow the fact that she was the daughter of Tony Stark. The man he always looked up to.
Having this information made Peter fold. It was as if it was a sin to caress any part of her skin or even talk to her. He had no idea why he was acting a little fed up about the whole thing...
Aside from that Tony confiscated his one and only Spider-Man suit, he was bothered about (Y/N)'s deceitfulness. He was sure that everything they shared was not a lie but the fact that she was being dishonest with him made Peter feel like he wasn't trustworthy.
"God, you idiot..." He mumbled to himself as he shuts the door and leans on the back.
"You should've told her how you feel." He scolded himself as put up a fist to his forehead.
After it was revealed to him about (Y/N)'s relation to Tony, later that day, she was introduced to the whole world. She was the talk of the school, and she was in every headline on the internet.
He admits that it's idiotic but he can't help but feel insecure. He can't even get his suit in good hands; Compared to her, he was a nobody.
Ned kept spamming him messages after seeing (Y/N) on television.
And the fact that everyone from school started talking about her was making his blood boil on the inside... Let's say that he's just a bit obsessive and wants the girl for his own.
When school came, he wondered why (Y/N) was absent. He thought that maybe Tony banned Peter from ever seeing him again... And that thought was frightening on its own.
He couldn't pick up his phone at the time. He'd just glance at it and hope that she was to text him about what happened.
May advise him that he should focus on himself since he was too distracted with other people that he didn't have enough time for self-growth... And he thought maybe just a little bit of her would be like a trophy.
He was waiting for her calls and text.
She was also waiting for him to text and call.
If only one of them made a move...
He was always an impulsive guy but why when it comes to her, he would count back his footsteps and bring up the things he'd do for her. And that was the problem... She was different.
Peter went to a nearby window where he could catch a glimpse of her. He watched from behind the curtain and made sure she reached her apartment safely.
And that's the thing. He cared for her. He cared for her a lot. But when she came, it felt like he was talking to a celebrity so his shyness took over.
But according to (Y/N) sorrowful expression, she misunderstood the whole thing.
He then sat in the vacant seat as his head came steadily.
"Man up! If she's coming to school. Approach her, talk to her as always and hang out as we'd always do... No more hiding." He mumbled to himself. Even though she was now considered a star, she was still the same girl he met.
˚✧˳✧˚✧˳✧˚✧ 🕷 ✧˚✧˳✧˚✧˳✧˚
Fun Fact: Even though Peter 'ignored' (Y/N) he just couldn't help but worry about her as well. He wore his old suit just to check up on her at the Avengers Headquarters.
A/N: guys my legs hurt
QOTD: What's the random sweetest thing someone has ever done for you?
ok, so I'm that 'friend' who was always left out in the group. non of them congratulated me, and they posted pictures without me in their stories. and a guy who used to be my seatmate suddenly texted me a picture of him with my grad pic on his laptop, he was the only one from my school who congratulated me.
i couldn't care less about people forgetting about me since I'm not active with social media and socializing but what he did was very sweet and he didn't even know how much it made my day ❤
