A Broken Web

I could hear Peter leave last night, at about 5:00am. I slept while he was there, but didn't when he wasn't. I had missed the warm swede of his jacket, and his body heat.

I yawn, and sit up. I had been moved this morning to a double room, with two beds facing each other. Peter was to go in the one opposite me. I could just picture him there. Playing with the devices clipped to his wrist, and looking up at me with his cheeky grin on his face. I smile happily. Suddenly, Dr Masdire walks in. "Good Morning Gwen." He says. "So, today we will hopefully have a successful operation on Peter, then over to you. It could take a while, but will feel a lot better afterwards. And tomorrow, once the new marrow has settled into your bone, we will perform the same operation that you recently had. Understand?" I nod. "Good. Oh..." Peter walks in and sits on the chair next to me, and takes my hand. "Well Doc, when do I get my operation?" He says. "Maybe about in an hour?" He says, looking down at his clipboard. "Perfect." Peter answers, looking at me and smiling.

After Dr Masdire leaves, Peter walks over to his bed. "So I guess this is where I'm going to be sleeping?" He says. "Guess so, bug boy." I say, and laugh slightly. Peter lies on the bed. "Ugh! This is horrible! How can you lie in this? Your bed was a lot comfier." He says. I laugh slightly. How I love Peter Parker. He comes over to me and lies on my bed beside me, and takes my hand again.
