What if it's you
And what if it's me
And what if that's all
that we need it to be
And the rest of the
world falls away?
What do you say?

Now Gwen and I are in Dave's car going to the airport. I'm so happy for Gwen to be accepted at Oxford. So proud of her.

"I'm gonna miss both of you so much. And especially you," Dave said and kissed Gwen. "Ew, don't even think about making out right now. Disgusting," I say to both of them causing them to pull away and laugh at my demeanor.

"How's that Dylan fellow?" Dave asks me and I shrugged. "It was good but I don't know if I want a relationship right now. It's been a stressful week," I answered him as I look away.

"Yeah, from agreeing to being friends with Peter then literally have sex with him then you have a date with Dylan. I'd say it's pretty stressful," Dave said to me and I glare at him.

"Gwen, sweetie, if you don't hear anything from Dave for the next couple of days, just know that I'd probably have something to do with it," Gwen just laughs at my death threat to Dave.

"Yeah, I'm sorry that you had to count the days now," Gwen replied as she pat Dave's shoulder. "I know. I brought that upon myself," Dave said as he sigh.

Then I see a lot of people get out of the car and walk to the sidewalk. "Why is everyone getting out of their car?" I ask them. "It's Spider-Man!" Dave exclaimed. Yeah, Dave loves Spider-Man. His life goal are to be saved by Spider-Man or to help Spider-Man.

I see some writing on the bridge. "Stop the car," I say to Dave. "This car hasn't even moved in the last 20 minutes," he said and I get out of the car. I quickly walk to the sidewalk.

The writings became clearer as I got to the sidewalk. Peter's web on the bridge spelled I LOVE YOU. I smile at it. "Damn, I wish Dave could do that," Gwen said and I just chuckle.

I see Peter swing at me and he swooped me up. Then lands us at the top of the bridge. Like literally on the top. "Hi," I say to him as he open his mask and  I hold on to him tight. "Hi, did you get my message?" he asks.

"What message?" I ask him. "The message over there," he said as he points to his writing with his head. "Oh, that. That was you? Damn, I thought it was someone else," I tell him. "I'm gonna tell you what it says. It's says 'I Love You' cause I love you," he said and I wrapped my arms around his neck as I got closer to him.

"And no offense but you're wrong," he adds and I furrowed my eyebrows. "Wrong about what?" I ask him. "You're wrong about us being on different paths right now because you're my path and you're always gonna be my path,"

What he said made me smile and he put his forehead against mine. "And I know there's a million different reasons why we shouldn't be together. I know that," he said and he's pull away to looked at me. "But I'm tired of it. I'm tired of every single one of them. We've all gonna make a choice. Right? And I choose you,"

"No more saying I can't do this?" I ask him and he shook his head. "No, no more saying that," he tells me and I smile at him. "So, here's my thought. England. Both of us," he said and I was shocked by his decision.

"Really?" I ask him and he nodded. "I'm following you now. I'm just gonna follow you everywhere. I'm just gonna follow you the rest of my life," I nodded as I laughs a little. "They got crime there, in England," I nodded again.

"They got tons of crime, it seems," he said to me and I nodded. "Tons," I replied to him. "They got uh. . . Jack the Ripper," he said and I laugh. I forgot this boy is an idiot. "What? They haven't caught Jack the Ripper yet. You didn't know?"
