-Friday-
The team were awake and they walked down the stairs as they still see Jessica sleeping on the couch while drooling then they all turned to Luke as he gives him a friendly smile
Luke:Calm down guys, it was just for the night
Ava:How come you didn't told us that she was staying over then?
Sam:I'm not waking her up
Luke:Fine, I'll wake her*he walks towards the couch that Jessica was sleeping in then he crouched down in front of her and started to softly move her by her arm with a soft tone*Jessica~
Peter:*he walked past the team while yawning as he greeted them*Hey guys*he then flopped himself on the couch next to Jessica's feet then Jessica started to slowly wake up and she places her hand on Luke's head to help her stand up then she gave out a loud yawn*
Jessica:Hey guys,what time is it
Sam:Time for you to get a watch
Jessica:*she turned to Luke as her hand was on his head and he blushes*I like your hair
Luke:...thanks...
Jessica:Hey Pete
Peter:'Sup*he sat on the couch as Sam and Ava walks into the kitchen talking and as Danny sits beside Peter as he places his hands in the pockets of his grey sweater and was looking down and quiet in which Peter notices*What's wrong Fist?
Danny:Nothing
Peter:You're not your zen self today, so what's wrong?
Danny:Today is the death anniversary of my parents
Peter:(right...I forgot, I'm a horrible friend)Oh, sorry for bringing it up then
Danny:It's fine, I moved on...*they both were in awkward silence as Luke and Jessica were standing up and heading towards the counter with Ava and Sam*I'm sorry...*he softly apologized as Peter turned his head towards his attention in shock while Danny was still looking down*
Peter:For what?
Danny:For last night...I shouldn't have started pressuring you to tell me what you're dealing with, I'm basically the reason why you decided to step out of the house last night
Peter:T-that's not true, you're not the reason for any of my problems Danny. I know that you just wanted to help
Danny:Peter, it's fine, it was my fault
Peter:No it's my fault! I'm just dealing with a lot of stuff right now, especially with Harry and MJ
Danny:It's fine Peter, it's my fault, just admit it, and whether you trusts us or not, you shouldn't be afraid to ask us if you need help, we trust you
Peter:thanks Danny...*Danny's phone then started to ring in his pocket then he took it out and he answers the call from his phone then he places it beside his ear*
Danny:Hey Ward....yeah I'm coming out now*he removes his phone from his ear then he ends the call and placed it back into his pocket then he stood up*I'm heading out now guys
Ava:It's earlier than usual, what's the catch?*she then felt a light hand slap on her arm by Sam as she turns around and glares at him then Sam glares back at her*
Danny:It's nothing,I'm just going to visit my parents with Ward*he smiles at them as their faces drops then Luke forms a small smile to him*
Luke:Sure man, take all the time you need*Danny waves at them as he walks out and he grabs his backpack that was beside the door then he walks out*
Sam:Dude,maybe you should have something
Ava:Like what?
Sam:I don't know, like maybe that he should stop visiting his parents graves, like they don't even have a body inside
Jessica:You must be shitting right?
Sam:Hey I'm only speaking the truth! Why is he still going to their graves if they don't even have a body inside!
Ava:Sam, that's not cool...
Luke:This is the first time Danny went to visit his parents with actual family
Sam:Oh...
Peter:You're an asshole Sam*he glares at him as he stood up from the couch and he walks out of the living room and walks up the stairs*
Sam:Guys I didn't mean to talk shade about Danny like that, I didn't know that this was his first time visiting them
Ava:There's a lot of things that we don't know, so we don't blame you
~~~~~~
Danny and Ward were walking down the road in between gravestones. Danny walked ahead of Ward as Ward was walking slowly behind him then Danny stopped at the end of the road revealing a large marble stone stool with the word 'RAND' printed in bold gold letter. Underneath the marvel stool there was three flat stone marble gravestones with the far right printed the word 'WENDALL', and in the middle it was had 'DANIEL' printed on the stone marble grave and in the far left it had the words 'HEATHER' on the gravestone as well with bold gold letters.Danny then crouched down as he looks at his marble gravestone then he places his right hand on the gravestone with 'HEATHER' printed on it. Danny then formed a small smile as Ward watched with his hands in his black coat's pockets as he had a stern look on his face as Danny started to talk.
Danny:Hey mom and dad. It's been a long time since I talked to you.Its been like maybe a year since I came to see you.A lot happened this whole year, I joined SHIELD, I have a team,we're still dealing with some problems in our relationship but I know we'll work it out. I'm still trying to deal with the company, I'm still trying to be a good CEO like you dad. I guess I still have a lot to learn, so I have Ward here to help me and Joy. I hope I'll make you proud mom and dad.I miss you guys.
Ward then watched Danny stand up from the gravestones then he walks towards Ward with his head down and his hands in his sweater's pockets and Ward looked at Danny and spoke in a concerned tone of voice
Ward:You okay Danny?*Danny then raised his head up facing Ward and then he formed himself a smile towards Ward with his glossy green eyes*
Danny:I'm fine. I just haven't talked to them in a while,especially with work being piled and with SHIELD
Ward:I get it.Come on,we probably won't be able to drop you off at school if we don't start moving now.*he then works the direction they walked in as Ward was still ahead then Danny stopped as he looks down to a gravestone in front of him then Ward turns around and asks Danny*What's wrong?*he then walks towards Danny and stood beside him as they were both looking down at a tombstone with the name 'MEACHUM' printed in bold gold*
Danny:Aren't you going to talk to your dad?
Ward:No. He ruined my life, he doesn't deserve my time to talk to him and neither should you.We have to leave now*he said as he walked away towards their direction that they were heading as Danny watches then he looks at the tombstone then he quickly ran back towards Ward*
~~~~~
Peter and MJ were walking towards the school with MJ's arm around Peter's. They walked into the school gates where the team were waiting on the staircase.Sam, Jessica and Ava were sitting on the staircase together while Luke was laying his hip against the railing next to Jessica then they saw MJ and Peter walking towards them with smiles on their faces.
MJ:Hey guys! Where's Danny?
Luke:He left to talk to his parents at their tombstones, he'll be back soon
MJ:We still couldn't been able to talk to Harry...I'm worried about him
Sam:I'm pretty sure he'll be willing to talk to you*he said as he points his finger towards the school gate that was behind Peter and MJ then they both turn around as Peter's head started tingling causing him to have a head ache and they see a black limo drive in front of the school and the back door opens and Harry pops up with curly green faded hair and dark lenses glasses and black jeans with a black leather jacket with his backpack in hand and he closes the door shut and he walks through the school gates and walks towards the team and MJ as he waves his arm with a grin on his face*
Harry:'Sup guys. It's been a long time since I saw you guys*he said with a grin as the whole gang looked at him with still shocked looks on their faces other than Ava and Jessica then MJ pouts and walks towards him then she punches his left arm*Ow! What the hell MJ?*he then rubs his left arm with his right hand as she pouts back at MJ*
MJ:What was your problem Harry!? You shouldn't have ignored us like that! I was worried about you and you shouldn't have acted so coldly to Peter also! And you even decided to avoid us by missing school yesterday! What was your problem!?*she angrily scolded at Harry while pointing a finger at him as everyone watched awkwardly then Harry started to speak up towards MJ*
Harry:I'm sorry okay!? I just been dealing with some personal issues and I just wanted to be alone. But I'm feeling better now than I was a few days ago
Ava:Cool hair...did you dye it?*she pointed it out as Peter turned his attention to Ava and had shot her a glare in which she didn't noticed*
Harry:Oh right, well I wasn't very happy to my auburn hair, so I dyed it dark brown and with a little bit of dark faded green*he happily explained as MJ looks closely to his hair*
MJ:Well it's nice, it suits you*she complimented as she smiles*
Peter:Well I'm glad you're better Harry, we missed you*his head then started to tingle even more as he painfully ignored it*(geez what's with my spider sense?)
Harry:Missed you too Parker
Sam:Nice glasses, they look expensive, where did you get them?
Jessica:Stop trying to ask him out Sam
Sam:I'm not trying to! I'm not into straight boys!
Ava:Yeah sure*she said as she rolls her eyes*
Harry:So Danny's party is today isn't it?
MJ:It is, are you bringing anyone?
Harry:Probably not
Jessica:Money bags came*she said as she tilted her head towards the school gate as Danny walks through the school gates with his backpack on as he walks away from Ward's black car with a dull look on his green eyes and a blank expression on his face and then he stops as Peter ran up to him and he looks at him with confusion in his eyes then Peter smiles up to him*
Peter:Hey Danny! How was talking to your parents?*he asked with faint blush on his cheeks as his spider sense started to slow down from the back of his head then Danny forms a smile at Peter*
Danny:Hey Pete, it was good, don't worry*he then saw Harry wrap his arm around Peter's neck causing Peter to stand awkwardly and his spider sense to tingle more louder and faster as Danny's smile fade then Harry looks at him with a bright smile on his face and Danny quickly forms a smile at him*
Harry:Hey man! You look well
Danny:So do you Harry, did you get a new haircut?
Harry:No dude, I just switched it up a bit and put in some hair dye
Danny:It looks good*he then peeks at Peter who was standing awkwardly and was staring at his chest while his spider sense was still tingling like crazy*We should go towards the others, I do have something to say about the party today
Harry:Sure man
Sam:*watches Danny,Peter, and Harry walk towards them*Thank god they didn't forget about us
Harry:Danny said that he has something to say about the party tonight
MJ:What's wrong?
Danny:I'm not sure if you heard about this but Fisk is coming to my party
Jessica:The guy that Peter had publicly humiliated?
Harry:What?
Danny:Yeah him. I'm telling you now so you won't start cornering me later when you see Fisk in the party. If you see him there then just ignore him, he'll probably want to talk to me so you all should just avoid him
Ava:That's great, aren't you going to blame Peter?
Peter:How is it my fault?
Ava:For humiliating Danny in public!
Peter:How did I humiliate him?! I just spoke the truth
MJ:They'll probably be arguing over this for the rest of the hour*she said as Peter and Ava were arguing and Peter had pulled himself from Harry's arm*
Harry:What happened while I was gone?
Sam:We went to get our outfits for today a few days ago, we were in traffic, saw Fisk giving his speech so he can be elected mayor, and Peter called him out for hating The Devil of Hell's Kitchen, Danny got in trouble by the media and his brother
Harry:wow...I missed a lot
Jessica:Tell me about it, it's been a pain in the ass the last couple of days*her phone then started to ring in her bag then she took her phone out and sees that she has a call from Trish then she stood up with her phone in hand*I have to take this*she then walked back into the school as she accepts the call and places her phone beside her ear*
Harry:Well I have to go talk to the teachers to see what I missed in class yesterday. See you guys in class*she smiles at them as Danny and MJ watches him walk up the stairs and towards the school doors*
Sam:Well he's gone*he turned his head towards Peter as him and Ava stopped arguing and were avoiding each other's glazes*Are you two done now?
Peter:Y-yeah...*he stuttered as he rubs his head*I just have a big headache(why does my spider sense tingle around Harry? It tingles like crazy)
MJ:Lets go inside Pete, it's probably by the sun*she frowns as she wraps her arm around Peter's arm then Peter looks at her and she forms a smile at him*We're going ahead guys,see you in class*she smiles as she walks up the stairs with Peter and they both walk through the school doors*
Luke:You okay Danny?*he asked as Danny had a calm look on his face and dull eyes and Danny had looked up to him*
Danny:Yeah I'm fine...*he said as he forms a smile towards him and Sam and Ava looks at each other*I just need some space right now*he smiles at them as he walks up the stairs and his smile fades and he enters the school as Luke,Sam, and Ava watches in silence*
Sam:huh...what's with everyone walking out on us?
Ava:Well it's Friday, they'll get over it*Jessica then walks out of the school building and walks down the stairs towards the team and she sat next to Ava and Luke who was still standing against the railing*
Luke:What happened Jess?
Jessica:Trish just called me, she wanted to know where I was last night, and now she thinks that I'm staying over at a guy's house
Sam:Well...she's not wrong though
Ava:Is Trish the only one who cares about you?
Jessica:She doesn't care about me nor does Dorothy. They just adopted me since Trish started a fire in a restaurant or something and it gave her a bad reputation
Sam:Dude that's fucked up
Jessica:Whatever. As long as I have a roof to live under and that I could be alone then it's fine
Luke:We should go in to see what the cafeteria have for breakfast*he said as Sam,Ava,and Jessica stood up from sitting on the stairs and they walked up the stairs with Luke*
~~~~~~~~
~In the Boy's Bathroom~
MJ:Peter, if the headache is that bad then we should take you to the nurse*she said in a concerned tone of voice with a worried look on her face as her right hand was on Peter's left shoulder as he was throwing water on his face and he turns the water faucet off and he looks himself in the mirror*
Peter:Maybe the nurse can also fix my face, I look awful*he said as he points out the dark circles under his eyes and his messy fluffy brown hair then he moves his hand through his hair as MJ peeks her head into the mirror looking at Peter*
MJ:I'm sure you don't look bad. But didn't you have any sleep last night? I forgot to ask you that on the way coming to school
Peter:I couldn't sleep at all last night
MJ:Jeez were you crying in your sleep?*she asks as she points out his eyes being red and puffy with dark circles under it*
Peter:I'm sure it's nothing MJ*he says as he avoided eye contact with MJ which causes MJ to form a stern look on her face*
MJ:Peter Parker. Say that again by looking at me in the eyes. Were you crying in your sleep?*she asks in a serious tone as Peter looks at her then he turned his head in a sad expression and he spoke out in a soft low voice*
Peter:I was...*MJ then wraps her arms around Peter's neck and hugs him then Peter places his head on MJ's shoulder*
MJ:Was it of that guy again?*she asks as she felt a nod from Peter*He won't hurt you anymore Peter, he's behind bars now. He can't scare you anymore*she calmly assured him as Peter wraps his arms around her waist and hugs her tighter then his spider sense started to tingle even faster and painful and they both flinched as they heard the bathroom door open and a voice called out to them in which MJ and Peter both pulls away from each other*
Harry:Uh...why are you in the boys bathroom MJ? And why were you two hugging in here anyway? Are you two dating?
MJ:What do you mean? You know that I always go everywhere with Peter
Harry:I know that but even in the boy's bathroom?
MJ:Even in the boy's bathroom. And Peter was in a bad mood so I gave him a hug to make him feel better. And we're not dating, especially since he's gay
Peter:MJ!*he yelled as he blushes then MJ stops as she realized what she said*
MJ:Oops.
Harry:You're gay...?? Without even telling me? What the hell man!?
Peter:Harry I can explain
Harry:You kept this big of a secret from me! Don't you trust me enough!?
Peter:Of course I do! I just didn't know how you would react
Harry:I can't believe you man. You kept this secret from me after a year of knowing each other!
Peter:Well I'm sorry if I'm still in the closet!
MJ:Are you two done now? You don't need to be dramatic about it. What matters is that you know Harry. It's not easy to come out to your best friends
Harry:Then how did he come out to you then?*he asked as he crosses his arm against his chest with a stern look on his face while wearing his dark tilted glasses*
MJ:He actually told me in middle school
Harry:What!? How come she known longer than me!?
Peter:Probably because we didn't knew each other back then? You didn't even go to our school, you were in boarding school remember?
Harry:Oh right. But either way! You should have told me when we first met! As friends we can't keep secrets from each other!
Peter:It's not my fault for not telling you that I like sausages! I just didn't want you to run away like everyone else did!
Harry:Dude we're in 2016! Time has changed already! You shouldn't be afraid to tell me!
MJ:Just tell me when you two are done arguing about Peter being gay so that way Janitor Stan doesn't find me in here and would kick me out*she spoke as Peter and Harry stopped yelling at each other and they looked at her*
Peter:Right, sorry MJ
Harry:So do you like a guy Pete?*he asked as Peter turns red and he pouts*
Peter:No I don't!
Harry:Great lie
MJ:Peter is dealing with some personal issues right now, he'll start dating after he works on himself. Especially since a guy gave him his number yesterday
Peter:MJ!
Harry:Really? I didn't know you were so popular with the guys Pete
Peter:I'm not! I don't even know why so many guys are attracted to me! I'm not that attractive
Harry:So who was the guy?
Peter:He's Jennifer's boyfriend
Harry:She has a boyfriend!?
MJ:You didn't know?
Harry:Well no! She didn't told me!
MJ:Well she does. And her boyfriend wants to hook up with Peter
Harry:So are you going to do it Pete?
Peter:N-no way! I wouldn't steal her boyfriend from her! I'm not that type of person! Especially since I threw away his number
Harry:It was probably the best to do. Did you told Jennifer yet?
Peter:No I can't. She'll blame me for her boyfriend hitting on me, and I don't want to hurt her either
MJ:She'll have to find out eventually Pete
Peter:I know that...but I don't want to be involved in their drama
Harry:It'll be fine Pete. You know what?*he then took out his phone from his pocket and he turns his phone on*I'll call Jennifer to invite her to the party tonight,so that way you'll tell her about her cheating boyfriend
Peter:Harry don't do that
Harry:*he then started typing a message to Jennifer from his phone then he sends the message*Sorry Pete but I just did
Peter:Why did you have to invite her to the party tonight!?
Harry:What's wrong with that?
Peter:Danny will be there! He'll think something is up between me and her!
Harry:Oh?
MJ:Aw you don't want to make Danny jealous do you?~*Peter then turns red*
Peter:That's not true! It's just that it's his party and yeah, right?
Harry:Uh no, I'm sure he'll be okay with Jennifer coming to the party for about an hour, it won't be bad*he then places his phone back in his pocket and they heard the bell ring*
MJ:Great, I didn't even get my books from my locker
Peter:We could make it. We have to get going Harry
Harry:I'll catch up. I just have to do my business then I'll see you in class*he smiles at them as they walk towards him as they smile at him and they both walk out of the boys bathroom then Harry's smile fades and he walks towards the nearest sink and he places his backpack on the sink and he opens his backpack and took out a green tube and he removes the cork and he pours the green liquid in his mouth and he started to swallow it down his throat then he removes his glasses and sees his eyes change into a darker green*
~~~~
Peter:*his spider sense then started to fade as him and MJ were running down the halls towards her locker*(god what's with my spider sense? It always seems to tingle around Harry and Harry isn't a threat, he could barely even kill a fly)*he then came back to reality when MJ has gave him a light punch on his shoulder and she gave him two textbooks from history and English*
MJ:Hold them for me please*she then slams her locker shut and she grabs her textbooks from Peter's arms and they both quickly walked towards their class that was down the hall*What were you thinking?
Peter:Nothing...just about Harry. I just find it weird how cool Harry is now than before
MJ:I thought I was the only one who noticed. I would want to talk to him about it but maybe not now.
Peter:Yeah probably...*they both then walked into their class and they see Danny in a depressed position as Luke,Ava,and Sam were quiet and worried which causes MJ and Peter to raise their eyebrows and they walked towards their seats that was in the back of the class with Peter sitting next to Jessica with a empty seat between them which was Harry's seat*What's with Danny?*he asked as he leans towards Jessica*
Jessica:Don't know. He's depressed so he'll want to be alone*she says as she places her bag on her desk and she took out her metal water bottle and she opens it and started to drink out of it while listening to Peter*
Peter:He's probably like this since he just spoke to his parents, and since it's been a year since his business partner had died too
Jessica:He has a business partner?*she asked curiously as she closes the lid of her metal water bottle*
Peter:I think so. It was on the news and they're hosting a party today too. And since you're coming with us, we'll probably hear more about his partner
Jessica:Maybe we will...*she said as she places her water bottle in her bag and sees Harry walk in and the bell rings and Harry sat in between her and Peter*
