(Peter's POV) Mj took a deep breath and stared telling me. "So basically in elementary school I started getting made fun of for the fact that I didn't like to participate in a lot of school activities. I started trying to stand up for myself, but it didn't help as it only made things worse than before. Bullies started waiting for me outside the school and they started hitting me a lot, and left me with cuts and bruises. I managed to cover them up as they weren't extremely visible, but you could see them if you look closely. During middle school, sometimes they'd even emotionally hurt me by pointing out little things about me and make me feel awful about myself. So I then started cutting. It wasn't a lot, just a few each week, but soon I'd start cutting a lot everyday when I was alone at home.

Soon, high school started, bringing us to where we are today. And I've been trying to sleep a lot, but every time it would result with me getting a nightmare", she said shakily. I was at a complete loss for words because of what she just told me. "It just got too much Peter and I started thinking of ways to end it all and I still do even though I had 2 failed attempts.", she continued with her voice breaking slightly. I could tell she was crying again because of how wet my shirt was but I didn't mind.

"Michelle, it's going to be alright because me and Ned will help you get through this and we'll help you find different alternatives to cutting ok?", I asked gently. She didn't say anything but in response she just nodded her head. "I mean I just started believing them because I felt like it was true and whenever they'd hit me I'd just let them because I felt weak and thought I deserved it. I'm really sorry Peter but I also tried to kill myself once, but when that failed I gave up and just took the pain.", she said while crying still, but it came out more as quiet sobs. "Mj you're an amazing person people shouldn't have a reason to hate you. You and Ned are all I could ever ask for.", I assured her.

After a few minutes, we heard the bell ring, signifying that lunch was over and it was time to go to our next class. As I helped her up, our hands made contact with each other, sending a wave of butterflies throughout my entire body. *Do I like Mj more than a friend, I wonder what this feeling is..*
(Time Skip cuz screw math) Me, Mj, and Ned walked out of the building after a long but interesting school week, excited for the upcoming weekend.

(No ones POV) They decided to have a sleepover at Peter's place for the weekend so they could relax from all the work they've been doing. They made sure to get everything they would need. Eventually after many disagreements, they settled on Harry Potter. Halfway through the movie, Mj felt her eyelids drooping as she fell into her slumber. Peter felt a weight dipping down onto him and noticed that Mj was fast asleep. It turns out that by thr time he noticed that she had fallen asleep, the movie had ended and Ned fell asleep on the chair he was sitting in. After a few minutes of fighting to stay awake, he allowed himself to fall asleep with the other 2, with Mj snuggled into his neck.

It was around midnight when he suddenly woke up, only to noticed that Michelle was gone. He decided to quickly use the restroom while he was up, and then quietly look for Mj. On his way go to to the bathroom, he heard faint sniffling that was coming from his room. He opened the door and saw what appeared to be Mj crying and saw that she was about to cut herself while she was at his desk. However, that wasn't the only thing he saw. His eye also caught something thanks to his enhanced vision.

Letters, a razor, and different bottles of unopened pills. "Mj what are you doing? Please tell me that you aren't planning to kill yourself", he asked soothingly. She nodded shakily in response. "It's ok if you don't want to talk about them, but we don't want you to hurt yourself because of it.", he assured her. "Do you want me to stay with you as you fall back asleep?", he asked. Again, she nodded her head. Peter helped Mj into his bed and pulled the covers over her, and told her that he was going to use the restroom. After that was finished, he climbed under the covers with her, but not before taking a look at the letters she had written. *Dear Peter, please don't blame yourself for this. But i just can't stand the pain anymore. In the past I've tried going to therapy, but that just made myself feel worse.

When you caught me cutting today, I secretly knew that you were mad at me and that you were going to ditch me as my best friend. The truth is Peter, I'm in love with you. It's just that I've been backstabbed so many times I decided to shut people out of my life. But when I met you and Ned, I told myself things were getting better until Flash happened. I'm sorry about this Peter, but I have to end it for the well-being of you two. And please, try not to miss me too much. And please, please, don't think it's your fault. Because that I know you would immediately follow and you deserve to live but I don't.

Sincerely, Michelle Alexis Jones.*

After reading the letter, Peter was crying a lot but didn't make any sounds. He decided to talk to Mj about this tomorrow, but until then, he would go to sleep.
