Jack falls flat on his back, clutching his nose that's now beginning to drip with blood. He curses loud, loud enough for the whole parking lot to echo off of his voice.

Peter now has the bat in his hand. He clutches it hard, his knuckles turning white. He thinks about finishing his bully off, the adrenaline coursing through his veins. Some hair falls in front of his eyes—the back of his mind remembers that he didn't fix it today. But he doesn't care about hair, he cares about giving Jack a lesson to learn.

Peter's thoughts race with the memories of the bully picking on him and his friends. They play over and over again on a loop.

Peter has been the loser everyone labels him for forever, but enough is enough.

Hurt him back. His mind tells him. He's done so much to you and your friends already. He's just like the rest of the guys you helped put in jail, he doesn't care about you or anyone—

"Peter..." A soft voice drowns out the other death-beating cold ones. The thoughts of hurting Jack begin to subside as he feels a slight pull come from the bat.

Peter looks down, he sees another hand grip on the black leather binding of the baseball bat. He knows it's her hand—he knows.

"Just leave him here." Madeline says.
The boy notices the slight quiver in her voice. Am I scaring her? Does she not get how she almost got hurt?
I'm protecting her—he deserves this.

"Do it Parker," Jack mumbles from the ground, wiping the blood off with his sleeve.

At that moment, Peter's mind surprisingly held back the negative thoughts of Jack and his bullying for the past year. He knows he's capable of beating this arrogant asshole to a pulp. He knows his friends and Madeline are watching. In fact, it's the light but caring hand that loops around Peter's forearm that causes him to relax.

Madeline seems to silently tell him to walk away as the boy continues his sharpened death glares towards Jack.
After a moment, the weapon slips through his hand, his fingers relaxing, creating a metal clang on the floor.
