you couldn't keep doing this with him. finally coming to the terms that peter would never truly choose you. him being out every single night without fail proved that.
today everything changes, you choose yourself instead of him.
there had been one too many date nights cancelled, one too many times that he'd slip into bed with you not knowing that you were still awake with tear stained cheeks.
what was the point anymore? you barely saw him as is.
loving him with all your might to only get little to nothing in return was draining.
if it wasn't the relationship or lack there of, it was your job. your boss asking too much too late, your family were there for you, but you could feel their constant concern and worry.
dark circles formed under your eyes from the little to no sleep you were getting, hair almost always a mess since when you did sleep you would wake up late and had to rush out of the door.
back to laying in your shared bed alone for what felt like the millionth time.
you just couldn't take it anymore and why should you?
that lead to you hurriedly packing your bags, already calling your sister and letting her know what was happening and she welcomed you into her home with open arms.
it was late when you arrived, so you quietly moved your stuff into her guest room, her bidding you a goodnight as the door closes. you were left alone again with your thoughts.
phone vibrating in your hand as pete's texts rolled in. asking where you were and if you were okay, just leaving him on read before completely turning off your phone.
you don't owe him an explanation, you didn't owe him jackshit. not for the way he treats you.
flopping down onto the bed, rolling yourself up into the covers not bothering to change.
tears fill your eyes when you think about how different he used to be, just your cute nerdy boyfriend. the one that would facetime you when he was building his new lego set, the one that would drop everything that he had going on to look after you when you were sick.
the same guy who was too shy to ask you out so he wrote little love notes and only up until you caught him in the act then he confessed his feelings for you.
it all changed when he got bit by that stupid spider, as much as you love spiderman, you loved peter parker more.
you just wanted your boyfriend back. was that too much to ask for?
