17. Cancel

Jess couldn't wait for school to be over. Had Peter really just asked her out? She hoped so. Yes that's what he meant right. If a boy comes to your house to pick you up it is only logical it's a date.

Picking up her bag, Jess walked out of the school and to her home. Peter had been done early today so that made her even more anxious. It was her first date after all.

She walked inside her house and threw her bag down next to the door.

"JARVIS I'm home!" She called, placing her keys in the bowl and walking to the kitchen.

She opened one of the cabinets and took out one of her protein bars. You see enhanced speed powers lower your sugar level so you have to eat a lot to keep up with them. That's why she invented her own bar when she was 10. It's a mixture between different sugary and nut substances making it enough to fill a grown up elephant. She had to eat at least 2 a day to keep healthy. Jess nibbled absently at her bar as she walked to the couch and sat down.

"Good evening Ma'm. There have been no phone calls when you were away."

"Any other news?" Jess asked, kicking off her shoes.

"There have been new photo's of you in the state you were two days ago" Jess groaned.

"Show me" The TV turned on to show a large picture of a hangover Jess with the text.

Already turning out like her father.

Jess glared at the TV before she turned it off and closer her eyes.

"I'm surprised Pepper hasn't called" She muttered before she ate the last of her bar and walked up the stairs. 17:00. Just a hour left before Peter would come to pick her up. Her nerves returned as Jess walked into her bathroom.

-

It had taken her just half an hour to get ready. Jess wore a white dress with pink Vans, a pinkish scarf and her necklace with a small pearl in it. Her pink hair was left in its usual curls and there was some light lip-gloss on her lips.  Jess looked at herself in the mirror and was resisting the urge to pull her hair in a bun when suddenly her phone rang. Jess took it and looked at the ID. Peter. She smiled and answered.

"Hey Peter" She heard Peter pant. "Are you alright" She asked, concerned. 

"Yeah, I'm fine. Hey, listen I know I was supposed to pick you up for dinner but umm Gwen has asked me to eat with her family" Jess sat down on her bed, defeated. "you don't mind, do you?" Jess shook her head, a smile on her face while tears appeared in her eyes.

"No of course not. I know you like Gwen" Peter chuckled.

"Yeah she's beautiful" Jesse felt her heart break.

"Don't forget her flowers" She heard Peter shuffle.

"I won't. Thanks again" Peter hung up but Jess kept the phone to her ear. So this is what it was like when someone broke you're heart. She slowly lowered her phone with trembling hands and called someone else.

"Hey Aunt May" She felt the first tear run down her cheek.

"Hello Hun, Peter's just left. Should I call him back?"

"No!" Jess snapped as more tears fell. "I mean, I wanted to talk to you"

"Are you crying" Jess nodded and a sob escaped her lips. "Oh honey, what happened." Jess shook her head.

"Do you mind if I come over?"

"Of course not" Jess cancelled the call and sped out of her house. She knocked on the Parker's door and within seconds Aunt May appeared with the phone still on her ear. She stared at Jess before she placed down her phone  and hugged her. After a minute or so they walked inside. Aunt May turned on the boiler, knowing that everything could be fixed with tea. Jess sniffed absently not knowing why she felt that way, it was just a boy.

"Are you ready to tell me now?" Aunt may asked, rubbing Jess's back. Jess nodded.

"Peter cancelled our date" Aunt May's eyes widen.

"How dare he! Leave you after everything you've done for him." Jess took Aunt May's arm to keep her from taking the phone again and calling Peter.

"Its oke though. He likes Gwen" Aunt May looked at her.

"Oh Hun" She hugged Jess again. Jess was so glad she had met Aunt May. "Well, let's drink our thee and then you're going somewhere to have some fun" Jess shook her head at Aunt May but laughed and helped her with the thee. She dried her eyes and took a deep breath. She was going to make the best out of this.
