Me and Tom sat in the back of the limo with our hands interlocked. I looked out of the window as we drove past the huge crowds of people attending the premiere.
"Love, your hands are shaking!" Tom commented as he reached and grasped my other hand, holding them both in his own.
"Tom I'm terrified! What if I trip? What if I say something embarrassing?" I rambled, looking away from the window and staring at Tom with wide eyes.
"You'll be fine, Carter. And I promise, if you trip I'll fall down too." He smiled comfortingly.
"You'd do that for me?" I asked with a grin on my face.
"I'd do anything for you, love." The car came to a stop behind two other limos with the cast climbing out and stepping onto the carpet.
"You're family is here, right?" I asked him, trying to distract myself from the fear bubbling inside of me.
"Yeah. Mum, Harry, Sam and Paddy. They're all so excited. Mum said that paddy's been telling everyone at school for weeks now." Tom laughed, shaking his head at his younger brother's antics.
"Are they meeting us there?"
"They're actually a couple cars back with Harrison. He's acting as a little tour guide."
I laughed, imagining that Harrison didn't really want to be responsible here.
The car pulled forward slightly before stopping completely. Clearly it was our time to get out and walk the carpet. The carpet attendee pulled open the door and Tom stepped out, the screams intensified to the point where I could've gone deaf.
I saw him waving at the fans with a huge smile before turning back to the car and offering me his hand. I gladly took it as I carefully climbed out and stood next to him on the carpet. All I could hear was the insanely high pitched screams of the fans that stood behind the barriers, some holding signs and others holding out paper for autographs.
Tom grasped my hand and steadied me as we walked up the few stairs that lead to the carpet.
"First, we go sign autographs for the fans before actually walking the carpet." Tom said as he leant over to me and spoke into my ear, knowing I otherwise wouldn't be able to hear him. I nodded in reply with a smile as we began walking to the barriers.
"This is so crazy, I normally just follow behind Chris at these things," I laughed, squeezing onto Tom's hand.
"Hey guys!" Tom called to them as we stood in front of the crowds. I waved at them with a huge smile as I took the first pen and signed someone's phone case.
"Thank you so much!" The girl had tears in her eyes as she looked at me.
"You're welcome!" I kept signing pictures and shoes and phones as they were passed to me.
"Darling, question." I heard Tom call so I looked up at him from my pace ten feet behind him. "This young lady- what's your name love - Sarah wants to know if I'm a good boyfriend?" He looked at me with a cheeky smile as the crowds of people screamed.
"Of course not!" I laughed, looking back down at the photo before moving on an taking another selfie.
"That's bullshit!"
"I know you're English babe, but watch your language!" I laughed as I finally made my way back to him and gripped his hand.
"Oh, crap, my bad." He muttered to me as he leant closer to me with a smile on his face.
"Don't be cute. You're not cute." I told him, pulling my hand away and stepping in front of him.
"I'm adorable!" He replied before quickly grabbing my hand and spinning me around, forcing me to come face to face with him. He leant down and softly kissed my lips. "Admit it." He kissed me again before he leant back.
"Okay, you're adorable." I caved as I kissed his cheek and stepped back in line with him, our hands once again interlocked and swinging lightly.
"Love birds, time to go." Harrison laughed as he approached us from behind and patting Tom on the shoulder.
"Leave them be, Harrison. They're in loooove." I heard the mocking voice of Tom's brother. I turned to his family walking towards us all dressed up.
"Shut up Sam." Tom grumbled as he let go of my hand pulled him into a hug.
"Carter, dear, so good to see you again!" Nikki spoke with a smile as she too hugged me.
"You too, Nikki. How are you?" I asked. "You look amazing!"
After we finished our conversation me and Tom were pulled away to start walking down the carpet and getting our photos taken.
Tom had has arm around my waist as many photographers took pictures, calling us to look their way.
"I keep stepping on this damn dress." I groaned as I tired to move it with one hand.
"Let me." He let go of my waist and walked behind me, before crouching down picking up the train on my dress.
"You'll crinkle your suit!" I told him with a laugh.
"It's fine, what's a few wrinkles if it means you look beautiful?" He grinned at me from the ground as he fluffed the train and spread it out behind me so it wasn't in my way. He quickly stood up and made his way back to my side.
"You really are the cutest." I gigged as I used one hand to cup his face and squish his cheeks playfully before planting a peck on his now pursed lips.
"You can't be serious for two minutes, can you?" Tom laughed as we walked further down the carpet for the last photos before the interviews.
"Do you want me to be serious?" I instantly stopped my smiling and put on a fake pout that barely lasted five seconds before a burst into a fit of laughter.
"Tom, don't make her pee. It'll be like Disney Land all over again!"
My laughter instantly stopped and I turned around to meet Chris and Lizzie.
"Shut up!" I whined, playfully smacking his chest. "Now be nice to me and take some pictures." I quickly pulled him aside and faced the cameras with a smile while Tom and Lizzie started talking.
"I'm always nice to you." He said with a laugh as we looked in all different directions. I quickly stared at him with my eyebrows raised, challenging his comment.
"A nice brother wouldn't have told the cast about Disney Land!"
I had been left so that everyone could go and do their interviews by themselves before going to find everyone later.
"Carter, it's so good to see you again. I'm loving your dress, who's it from?" She asked and pointed the microphone at me.
"It's made by an amazing designer I met in London called Suzanne Holmes. She's up and coming so watch out for her!"
"Now, what's it like for you to be at this premiere of a movie you've been working on for months?"
"It's amazing, such a great feeling. You know, you spend so long on these sets, seeing all the behind the scenes work and you get to see how hard every single person works. So to have a finished project we can finally show our fans is incredible." I told her with a smile.
"Can you tell us who your favourite person was to hang out with when you had a bit of down time?"
"Can I say Tom? Is that cheating the question?" I laughed. "Besides Tom would have to be Lizzie. We went out a lot to get Ice cream - despite the diets we were supposed to be on to keep fit."
"What can we expect from Alice in this movie, it being the first time we see her in the MCU?"
"Hmmm. What am I allowed to tell you? You can expect to see a feisty teenager who's really sarcastic yet powerful. You can expect to see someone with intense training and great combat skills who just doesn't want to be alone. I think that's all I can tell you without getting in trouble." I laughed as Lucy came up behind me, signalling it's time for me to move on.
"Last question : Chris Evans or Chris Hemsworth?"
"Hemsworth all the way! He doesn't steal my food! Bye, thank you." I smiled as I waved at the interviewer. "That was the first interview from the whole carpet to not ask about my relationship. How ridiculous. I've done 14 so far and every single one made it about me and Tom." I scoffed.
"How can they not? I'm perfect." I heard him say as he approached me from behind and slid his arms around my waist. The mere action just made the huge crowds of people scream.
"Stop being adorable." I giggled as he placed a kiss on the top of my head. "Come on, that was my last one."
"I've still got one more to do then we've got to get a cast picture." Tom said as he took my hand and lead me to his final interview.
"Who's it with?"
"Ellen - or one of her representatives." He said as we stood in front of the camera, waiting for it to begin. "You must be Kayden, hey man!" Tom said, giving the young child a high five and I did the same.
"Spider-Man, where's your costume?" The child asked with wide eyes. "How are you meant to save people without the suit?"
"I left it at home, buddy. It wouldn't fit over my suit." He said with a smile as he tugged on his jacket.
"Carter, I have a question for you."
"Ask away, sweetie."
"Who's your favourite Avenger?" He asked with complete seriousness.
"Can I say me? Do I count?" I watched as he shook his head with a laugh. "In that case, I think I pick Scarlet Witch because she's the strongest one of them all, definitely not Spider-Man. Who does he think he is. Am I right?" I laughed.
"For both of you, would you rather have the power to fly or to be invisible?"
"That's a tough one, come back to me!" I told them.
"I think I'd be invisible, because then you can do super cool things like rob a bank!"
"Tom, don't be telling kids to rob a bank. You're not really Spider-Man." I laughed. "I think I'm going to go with fly."
"Thank you for answering my questions, Tom Holland and Carter Evans." I couldn't help but smile at the cuteness of the young boy who couldn't be older than 10.
We soon found ourselves sat in the theatre, watching the full movie for the first time. To say I was in awe would be an understatement.
One of mine and Tom's scenes was coming up and I was really excited to see how they edited it. It was one of my favourites where we got to know Blue's past.
Spider-Man and Alice Steel sat on one of the higher levels of Thano's flying donut as they travelled to the planet of Titan. They both had their legs dangling over the edge as they talked, looking down on Tony and Strange as they discussed possible plans of attack.
"You're serious? You got your super strength and insane reflexes from a spider bite?" She asked with sarcasm clear in her tone as she played with the hem on her cape.
"It was a genetically enhanced radioactive spider. Not just a spider." He hung his head because saying it out loud was kind of embarrassing. "Okay, What about you? Obviously you're not the girl next door."
"There's not much to say. I was a normal child who's parents were scientists for a very powerful and very illegal operation. You may have heard of them, HYDRA?" Peters eyes widened slightly, an unwanted sense of fear bubbling at the idea of HYDRA. He wasn't wearing his mask so he hoped that he'd hidden his shock. Alice formed a small ball of her typical blue energy as she fiddled with it, using it as a distraction from the fact that this is the first time she'd opened up about her life since - well, ever.
"Anyway, after the success of the Winter Soldier they wanted more - they wanted an army. They tested on people for 50 years with many subjects perishing under the instability of the chemical makeup. My parents offered me up as bait , their inner Dr Frankenstein wanting to know the possible effects on a 7 year old." As Blue's emotions began to consume her, the energy grew and her hands began twitching.
"27 serums later, and here I am. HYDRA were ecstatic then they realised that not only did I have super strength, I also had super powers they couldn't begin to understand." She sighed as she forced the energy to grow in size before lightly tossing it at the metal shrapnel on the lower floors of the ship. The metal was flung into the air and levitated before Blue commanded it to fall softly, though one piece shot up.
"Hey, new kid, If one more piece of metal hits my head I'm gonna lose it."
"Sorry Stark!" She called before turning back to Peter with her shoulders once again slumped.
"I was locked away in an underground bunker with nothing to do but train. Every few days they'd come back for more tests and to take more of my blood - they were desperate to recreate the structural makeup of the serum. They taught me everything they taught Bucky Barnes, the first generation. HYDRA's goal was to have me 'War-ready' by the time I was 18. I was going to be the biggest threat to humanity. They thought that until they knew how to control me as they'd done with Bucky, I have as minimal contact as possible. And it worked, until it didn't anymore.
"I broke free the day after I turned 14 and didn't look back. That bunker in old Sokovia is a thing of the past and as long as no one says the five words - then I won't kill anybody. So, if you happen to see me displaying any murderous tendencies I'd probably avoid me." The girl shrugged her shoulders.
"You make my spider bite look pretty pathetic, you know." Peter sighed and hung his shoulders.
"It appears Stark and Doc are having relationship problems. Let's go, spider boy." Alice smirked as she span herself around before dramatically throwing herself backwards off the ledge and landing in the typical superhero pose when she met the ground.
"Show off." Peter mumbled as he shot a web and lowered himself to the rest of the group.
I couldn't help but smile at the scene, I was proud of it. I know it's only a small scene but it sets up for my next movie.
I felt Tom gently squeezing my hand, his way of saying how proud he was without actually talking and ruining the experience for the others in the crowd.
The movie continued and I couldn't help the proudness that's built up inside me as I watched my cast mates deliver their best performances.
I don't wanna go. Please, Mr Stark. I don't wanna go.
Tears built up in my eyes as I watched my boyfriend emotionally perform his death scene with Robert. The pain in his eyes broke my heart - despite the fact I knew it wasn't real.
Tom reached up and used his thumb to wipe away the stray tear that had fallen. I turned my head to look at him with a smile on my lips before reaching up to take his hand and placing a kiss on his wrist, it being the only place I could reach without causing a bit of a scene.
I took his hands in my own and looked back at the screen just in time to see Tony look devastated at the loss of Peter Parker.
We were soon at the AFTER after party and we're finally able to let loose, having been professional at the after party where all the reporters and journalists were as well as other celebrities who were invited as professional curtsy.
I'd decided to offer my house up as the venue, since it was the biggest and everyone else was staying at the hotel. The entire cast was able to comfortably celebrate in my downstairs alone as they drank themselves towards possible liver failure.
"It was so nice of you to do this, kid." Chris slurred as he approached me, stumbling over his own feet. "You're a really nice girl. SO nice."
I laughed at his state before patting him on the shoulder. "You're welcome, I hope you haven't made a mess in the kitchen with this little concoction you've got there." I looked into his cup and saw a mix of probably four different types of drink.
"Of course I wouldn't, a good brother wouldn't and I am a very good brother." He shook his head with a laugh before spotting somebody else he wanted to talk to and walking away.
I headed towards my kitchen to get myself another drink, weaving in and out of people who'd probably already had too much. As I stepped into the room, Robert was on top of my counter top dancing to the music with a bottle of vodka in his hand.
"One kiss is all it takes, falling in love with me!" He yelled as he tried - and failed - to dance along with the beat of the music that flooded my house.
"Someone get Downey off my kitchen counter before he hurts himself!" I shouted with a laugh, looking for anyone who could get the grown ass man down. "Hemsworth! You're responsible, look at this!" I laughed as I held his shoulder with one hand and the other pointed to RDJ now trying to do the Macarena.
"Oh this is a disaster!" He shouted, looking from Robert then back to me. "Why aren't I up there with him?!" Chris yelled before moving past me and joining Downey on the counter tops.
"Just don't hurt yourselves!" I called. "When did I become the boring one." I sighed as I ran my fingers through my hair and left the kitchen.
"Carter! Your house is amazing!" Harrison yelled in my face as he ran up to me.
"Sweetie, you've been in my house before." I laughed at his confused expression.
"Oh you're right. I have, I'm sorry. Please forgive me!" He begged as his eyes started to water.
"It's alright, don't cry!" I laughed and rubbed his shoulder comfortingly. "I'm going to go find Tom, have you seen him?"
"He was talking about taking some girl named Peggy to the bathroom." I shook my head at Harrison's drunken state before heading into the back yard to look for my boyfriend and dog.
My eyebrows furrowed when I came up empty as there was literally nobody in the yard. I shut the door and walked back through the house, checking in all the rooms to find them.
It wasn't until I walked past the actual bathroom that I heard Tom's voice chattering away. I smiled and pulled the door open to find him laying on his back with Peggy sat on his stomach. He had a huge smile as he told her about his day.
"And then, he asked if I love her and I said of course I bloody do! She's like the sun and the moon and the stars all in one beautiful person! You know? Of course you know. She's your mum. She'd be a great mum, don't you think?" He asked Peggy as he looked at her. I felt my heart drop at his words, I taught the tears that so desperately tried to spring to my eyes.
"Why aren't you answering me? Is is the accent? I bet it helps if I say mom, right?" He continued to fuss behind her ears as he nodded to himself "right, I knew it."
"As I was saying before I was interrupted - what was I saying?"
"Everything okay in here, babe?" I asked softly as I made my way over to him and sitting down next to him.
"Hey Carter! Great party!" He said with a smile as he turned his head to look at me. "I hope you don't mind but I threw up in your toilet." Tom said with a small frown. "But I brushed my teeth, see?" He laughed as he flashed me a huge grin and displayed all of his perfectly white teeth.
"I can see that." I laughed as I gently removed Peggy from his stomach and took his hand. "Maybe it's time we got you to bed. The party is dying down now anyway." I told him softly. It was true, most of the people had left and it was just the cast who were still here.
"Yeah, maybe that's a good idea." He muttered as he accepted my help and stood up shakily. Once he as fully balanced he looked dead into my eyes. "Has anyone ever told you how fucking beautiful you are?" He spoke with clear shock.
"Once or twice." I chuckled and lead him to my bedroom. I shut the door and made him sit on the bed a took off his shoes and the necklace that hung on him. I slid off his jacket and laid him down gently.
"Hey Carter?"
"Yeah babe?"
"Do you remember the time you almost died?"
I stood up straight to look at him confused as to where he was going with this. "I do, why?" I spoke calmly as I pulled the cover over him.
"I'm sorry about that. It probably wasn't fun." He mumbled as he gripped onto the cover and pulled it up to his chin. Before I could register, he'd passed out. I shook my head and placed a soft kiss on his forehead.
I quietly left the room and shut the door before walking back downstairs to find other people. I was surprised to find that most of them were already passed out throughout my living and dining rooms. I couldn't help but laugh at the image of Robert and Hemsworth laying side by side, both gripping onto the alcohol bottle with hand.
Mark was the only one who seemed to be sober, so I asked him to make sure nobody else got into too much trouble. He insisted that he didn't mind doing this since he knew I had a busy day tomorrow. I kissed his check and went back to my bedroom.
I quickly changed out of my clothes and into my pyjamas before climbing in bed next to Tom. I laid my head on his chest softly and allowed myself to fall asleep to the rhythmic breathing of my boyfriend- despite the fact he smelt like tequila.
