I just finished, or got to the end, of this book. Its not finished updating yet (I hope) the author hasn't updated in awhile. Its a really great book and I love it. Its called: Always Silent, Peter Darling
its by LlibLo. 

Its a really good book! Go read it and show the author some love!

It's also the inspiration for this one-shot!

Also, Peter is not Spidey in this.

TW: Physical (and very little verbal) abuse.

Third POV.

Peter was walking to school, he pulled down on the sleeves that connected to his baggy hoodie.

He took a deep breath and exhaled through his mouth, the winter air turned his breath into what looked like smoke.

He pulled out his phone and walked into the school, he went to his locker and put in his combination.

He grabbed his books and walked into class. He went to his normal seat in the back, beside Ned.

"Dude, dude, dude, dude!" Ned said as Peter sat down.

Peter turned to him and signed 'what, what, what, what'

Ned had learned ASL (American Sign Language) as soon as he met Peter. Peter seemed like a cool dude, and Ned wanted to be his friend.

"We have a new teacher! Isn't that cool, now we don't have to turn in that history project that we didn't do!" Ned explained excitedly.

'The history project that you didn't do.' Peter signed, smiling.

"Yeah, yeah- oh look, here he is!"

The teacher looked like your basic history teacher.

Bald on the top, hair on the edges, glasses that go down to the tip of his nose, and carried a satchel and few extra books.

"Hello, I'm Mr. Scaddle, make fun of the name, I'll make fun of you." 

Peter stifled a laugh, this teacher was funny without even trying.

"I want everyone to stand and say their names and one fact about them, we will go around the room."

Peter got his phone ready, so he could use the speech app.

He heard everyone give their names and some boring fact about themselves that no one cares about, then it was Ned's turn.

"My names Ned, and I know sign language." Ned sat down and Peter stood.

He quickly typed what he was going to say and was about to hit the ok button.

"Hey, no phones in class." Mr. Scaddle said.

Peter looked at Ned before he typed something different.

"Young man what did I just-"

"I don't have the ability to speak, sir. I'm allowed to have my phone out for this purpose." A robotic voice stated, Peter named it Ari.

This is why Peter hates new teachers.

"Oh, um, I'm sorry. What's your name?"

"Peter Parker." Ari informed him.

Peter sat down, the rest of class went on normally.

The rest of the day was pretty boring too.

When the last bell of the day rung, he took his time getting to his locker and getting his stuff. He didn't want to go home, home was not safe.

Peter decided to walk around a bit, delaying the time to go home.

When he got to the apartment, he took out his keys and unlocked the door. When he got in he sat his bookbag by the door and started to go to his room.

But something stopped him.

And that something was May Parker.

Not the nice May that everyone else sees, not the nice woman she is around other people.

No, this was the May Parker that only Peter saw.

The real May Parker.

The abusive May Parker.

She grabbed Peters hood, stopping him from making it to his room.

"Where were you, I came back and you weren't here, you know you're supposed to come right back here after school."

Peter stayed silent.

He knew better than to talk.

May scoffed and grabbed onto his wrist and forced him to look at her.

"Listen here you piece of shit."

"I give you food, I give you a home, I give you everything you need. And what do you do? You disrespect me."

The more she talked, the tighter her grip became, he already knew a bruise would be there in the morning.

She gave him a disgusted look and dragged him down the hall to a door.

She opened it and shoved him in, he heard the door lock from the outside.

He sighed and sat upright, leaning against the wall.

Life must hate him.

Peter woke up to his bag being thrown at him.

He quickly got up and got ready for school.

When he walked to the door May called to him.

He turned around and saw her behind him.

"Don't be late, I'm not in a good mood today." May warned.

Peter opened his mouth, but quickly closed it. 

It was to late, she saw.

He turned around, trying to make a run for it.

May grabbed him and turned him around, slapping him.

"That mouth stays shut, do you got that! You make sure that you don't even let a sound come out you."

He nodded, his cheek stinging.

Peter was pretty sure she hit him hard enough to bruise his cheek.

If anyone asks Ari will tell them that he ran into a wall or something.

Its kinda believable.

When he got to school the teachers gave him side glances, but other than that said nothing.

Ned knew not to ask, Peter would just act like he didn't hear him.

So Peter's day was good (except for the morning), Flash didn't even bother him.

As soon as the final bell rang, he gathered his stuff and left the building.

He had become Tony Starks personal intern about a month ago, but the two quickly became close to one another.

Peter walked in and pulled out his pass, getting a few weird looks from newbies.

He scanned his badge and went to the elevator.

The doors opened and Peter met Mr. Stark in his lab.

'Hey kiddooo- whats with the face?" Tony asked, moving his right hand in a circular motion in front of his face.

"Oh? That? Well, um, its kinda embarrassing. I accidentally hit my face with my locker." Peter typed, Ari delivering his message.

Tony didn't exactly believe him, but let it slip. "So, lets get to work."

~Time skip to 5:30 cuz why not ~

Peter was working on Tonys armor when he got a text.

From May.

Listen here you brat. You are supposed to be home by five when you have your internship. Its past fucking 5:30. So get your ass over here or you won't be able to have that internship much longer.

Peter went to the speech app and told Tony he had to go.

"Oh, sorry kiddo, I didn't notice the time. You'll be here tomorrow right?"

Peter gave his best fake smile, and nodded.

"Great, see you then Pete."

Peter ran out of the tower and all the way back to the apartment.

When he pulled his keys out to unlock the door, it swung open.

Revealing an angry May.

She grabbed his hoodie and pulled him in.

Slamming the door behind him, making the teen flinch.

"You can't do anything right can you!" May seethed.

Peters bottom lip trembled, she had been drinking while he was at school, he could tell by the beer cans on the counter.

May does things when shes been drinking.

"Take off the hoodie." May commanded.

Peter hesitantly took off his hoodie, dropping it on the ground beside him.

"Hold out your arms."

He turned his palms upwards, facing the ceiling.

Then he raised his arms.

May picked up a belt from the closet and struck.

Peter squeezed his eyes shut, refusing to make a sound.

She hit his arms over and over, each hit harder than the first.

Finally he broke.

"Stop! Stop! Please, May, stop!"

Peter had tears in his eyes, his arms a bloody mess.

"And if I don't?" She asked.

"I'll tell! I-I'll tell Mr. Stark, or-" May grabbed his wrists, squeezing them. Peter gasped, his arms hurting worse than before.

"Keep your mouth shut. you don't really want to lose your freedom, because I could take that away with one sentence. So, I would suggest you zip it." May said, with sickly sweet tone.

"After all Peter, Silence is golden." May then let go, throwing him and his hoodie back into a closet.

Heyyyyyy.

I could totally make a book out of this.

Of course I would make it different from LlibLo's version, and I would give them the credit for my inspiration. I would also make it different from this one-shot.

But idk if anyone would really read it 🤷🏻

Anyways I hope you enjoyed this....mess.

Oh and Petty-ass got suspended, and when he comes back he has ISS (in school suspension) and has to sit alone at lunch until further notice.

The principal apologized for not seeing the bullying sooner, and told me to tell him if Petty-ass decides to be, well a Petty-ass again.

See you Cucumbers whenever I update again!!
