Eight
I stare at the house. His light has been turned off for an hour. I don't need sleep. I just need to watch him. He's helpless now. He has no powers and no voice. I can't let anything happen to him. I grip the ledge.
"You still up?" Dr. Pheobe's voice says.
"Yeah. I'm not tired." I say.
"You can't watch him 24/7." She says.
"I can. I will punk." I say.
"You got to give him space. He starts school tomorrow again." She says.
"Wait, we're actually going to let him stare the lion in the throat?" I say.
"Have you ever been to school?" She asks.
"No." I hiss.
"No? Or do you not remember?" She asks.
I turn my head. The light of a lamp suddenly turns on. My eyes widen.
"Now he's in trouble." I shoot a web.
I open the door and I get in. I turn to him.
"Peter..." I breathe.
He was covered in sweat. Hsi hands keep shaking. They were shaking faster than light. His eyes were moving left and right like ping-pong balls. I walk over. This is why I have to watch him. This is why I can't leave him.
"Bad dream?" I ask.
He nods. I let out a breath. I put my hand on his shoulder.
"Do you want me to stay with you?" I asks.
He nods. I sit down beside him.
"Okay." I say.
