Wounds That Won't Heal (Peter Maximoff Fanfic)

Chapter 7: Numb To The Feeling

Peter held onto my hand "hey listen to me. You got so angry that you lost control and hurt a lot of students. You spawned deadly flowers; you took control of your tree and made it strangle some kids but everyone is okay. You got burned, cut, stabbed and hell even shot at but you're okay. We don't blame you for what happened" Peter explained...but that didn't make me feel any better.

My eyes widen...I did all of that? W-Why can't I remember? Oh god...what's going to happen now? My heart raced, stomach churned and eyes started to gloss up with tears. I felt my bottom lip quiver and I started to cry...What's wrong with me? Why me?

Peter said nothing but sat at the edge of my bed and gently pulled me up and gently hugged me which made my eyes widen a bit. He wrapped his arms around me and gently squeezed me which made me do the same. He said nothing the entire time and comforted me as I cried into his shoulder for god knows how long.

Once I managed to finally stop crying, I pulled away from Peter and sniffled even though my nose was STUFFED. I wiped my face of snot and tears and sighed heavily "I-I'm sorry" I whispered, Peter cupped my red, puffy and tear-stained cheek and made me look at him "Hey. You have no reason to apologize. You lost control and we understand why. No one is mad at you okay?" He said sternly, I sniffled and nodded which made Peter smile and brush my wet hair out of my face which made me blush and smile softly.

I sighed a bit "do you need anything?" He asked, "uh tissues and more water please" I whispered, he smiled and nodded as he hopped off my bed and within a flash he sped off and came back with more water and a box of tissues. I chuckled a bit as I grabbed some tissues to blow my nose and drank the majority of my water.

I sighed as the water felt good because I felt so dehydrated and lightheaded from all the crying and from well, being so beat up and bedridden. I looked at Peter "how long was I out?" I asked, Peter sighed "couple days, almost a week" He said, my eyes widen "that bad?" I asked, Peter held onto my hand which made my heart race and stomach churn, "they shot everything they had into you. Your body had some major recovering to do" he said,

I sighed and nodded as I looked seeing I was in what looked like Peter's shirt, but my arms and legs were all wrapped up "D-did you change me?" I stuttered, Peter smiled bashfully "Yea your clothes got destroyed and I wanted to make sure you were comfortable. Don't worry I closed my eyes" He said,

I smiled shyly and nodded "W-were you here with me all night?" I asked, Peter shrugged and nodded as he rubbed my hand gently which made me blush shyly "I couldn't just leave you here by yourself...despite you poisoning all the kids for the right reason, you were in worst shape than them. I didn't want you to think you were abandoned and left alone" he said,

I smiled shyly "Y-you didn't have to do that" I stuttered, Peter smiled softly "Yes I did" he said, I looked at him and smiled softly "thank you" I whispered and felt my heart race and stomach flutter once again...what in the hell could I be feeling right now?

Peter smiled and nodded "So uh are you hungry? You need anything?" he asked a little awkwardly. I looked at the time seeing it was about noon which made me sigh a bit feeling completely exhausted even though I've slept for almost a week now "Uh yea. I could use a shower and some coffee and something to eat" I said with a chuckle, Peter laughed "Okay well I will help you get up to your room so you can shower and I will get you some lunch and coffee" He said,

I smiled softly "th-thank you Peter" I said sincerely, he looked at me and smiled "Of course Faith" He said which I swear even him saying my name made my heart flutter...oh boy...all the things this boy makes me feel you have no idea. Peter leaned down and gently scooped me up from the bed. My eyes widen and face flushed which made Peter chuckle a bit, "You good?" he asked,
