~Amber's pov.~

Dad comes in and Peter moves so he can sit there. I look at my reflection in the window. My eyes are bloodshot and I'm filthy and gross. I have scratches all over my face with a few cuts too. "Amber, are you alright??" Dad asks. I just break down and cry. Peter watches in the corner and covers his face with his hands. Crying. I cry from pain and the experience I just had. Dad hugs me as I cry.

"Amber, I'm going to talk to Tony. Are you ok by yourself??" Dad asks and gets up. "Y-Yes..." He leaves and Peter slowly comes over to me. I sit up but cry out in pain from my back. "Amber, what's wrong??" Peter asks and lays me back down. I keep screaming from pain and soon Tony hurries in. "Amber, why are you screaming??" "My back!! I can't move it!!" I scream at them. Peter clutches my hand and kisses my finger.

"Ok, Amber we need an X-ray now." He carries me over to the machine and I scream from the pain and discomfort. He lays me down on the cold, hard metal. I scream and my throat is raw by this point. They take X-rays of my back. Tony, Bruce, and my dad gasp. "What?? What's wrong with me??" I ask trying to move but whimpering from pain in protest. Bruce comes to me and breaks the news. "You broke a part of your back. The chances of walking are slim. You can function with your arms but your legs are not useable."

I blink back tears. "W-What?? N-No you're wrong...T-This is a joke right??" He shakes his head slowly. "No, but if you try there is a possibility you could walk away. But, it'll be a long and painful ride. So what are you going to do??" I lay there stunned and feel tears fall down my face. I look at my reflection in the glass and see my blue eyes. "I'll think about it...Just put me back in my room if you can." "Ok-" Peter interrupts him. "I'll do it!!" "Ok then call us if you need anything."

Peter carefully picks me up and I try not to scream out in protest. He walks up the stairs and every step is more painful. I scream quietly every now and then and he keeps telling me sorry. I lay my head on his shoulder and wrap my arms around his neck. He opens my bedroom door and carefully lays me down on the bed. "Peter, will you stay??" He lays down next to me and takes my hand. "Of course." "Can I tell you something??" I ask looking up at the ceiling.

He props himself up with his arm. "What??" I carefully turn my body to him. I only turn my upper-half though. "I love you..." I whisper. He smiles and kisses me. "I love you too." I try and move to him more but my legs refuse to move. I groan and Peter understands. "I think you should try and walk again. I'll help you. We can do it up here and no one will know. I can help you after school, before school, during the weekends, and when I'm free. I just think you should try."

I nod and grab his hand. "Ok, I will but when I give up let me because this is going to be very painful. Let's start now." "Now??" "yes, now..." He gets up and stands in front of me. He helps me sit up. I grab his forearm and wrap my fingers tightly on his arm. He winces but doesn't say anything. He carefully pulls me into a standing position and I feel a sharp pain in my legs. I almost cry from joy. I can feel it in my legs. I start wobbling but push myself. I try to lift up my leg. I get it up a centimeter off the ground and collapse onto Peter. We fall onto the ground. "Sorry," I gasp.

"Amber, did you just?? Peter asks me stunned. "Yes," I cry from joy. "I almost took a step. I could feel pain in my legs but I could feel in them again!!" I hug him since I haven't moved from on top of him. I kiss him while happy tears fall down my face. He kisses me back and carefully lays my back on the bed. We keep kissing and break for air after a while. He lays next to me and takes my hand again. "I love you, Amber Rae Rogers." "I love you too, Peter Parker." I fall asleep with my hand in his and I think he does too.
