Chapter 15: Confliction

"I'm Scott."

"It's nice to meet you, Scott."

Then I hear some rummaging before Ruthie said hello.

"Hey it's Peter!"

"Why are you calling me?"

"I need to talk to you about Wanda."

"Okay, what about?"

"She knows you're hiding a secret from her..."

"Peter I can't tell her.."

"Ruthie, she thinks you don't love her.."

"I do Peter!"

"I know that! But she also thinks you deserve better than her..."

"Wh... why would she think that?"

"Because she's a mutant and she thinks you deserve someone normal."

She was silent for a while after my comment.

"Ruthie you have to tell her..."

"You don't understand Peter! I can't!"

"You're going to lose her Ruthie, do you want that?"

"No, of course not but I just can't tell her..."

Then the phone went dead. I hung up the phone in frustration. My head buried itself into my hands. I just want my sister to be happy. Then two arms wrapped around my waist. I looked over to see y/n smiling at me.

"Hey babe."

"Hey, how are you?"

"Better now that you're here."

I smirked at her as she smiled up at me.

"Good."

She responded as I leaned down to press my lips against hers. She deepened it as she tightened her grip on my waist. I grabbed her neck to pull her closer. My other hand grazed her cheek to feel a faint tear. I broke away immediately and brushed her tears off her cheeks.

"What's wrong?"

"Peter.."

She got up from my bed and turned away from my gaze. I stood up and walked over to her.

"Peter this is going to be hard for me..."

I wrapped my arms around her as I kissed the back of her head.

"Being away from me?"

"Not that."

She turned towards me with worried eyes.

"Then what?"

She took a deep breath before looking away from my gaze.

"Peter you're distracting me..."

I tried to meet her eyes but she kept avoiding me.

"Distracting you from what?"

"My education..."

I gave her a confused look as I grabbed her shoulders trying to get her to look at me.

"Babe, what are you trying to say?"

"We need to take a... break..."

"Like for food? We can go get some Wienerschnitzel or something."

I interlocked my hand with hers and tried to guide her to the stairs.

"No, Peter not that type of break..."

I gave her a baffled look as I walked back in front of her.
