I'm tryna find my way back,
there's no day off for heroes
And even when I'm tired,
go is the only word I know

I wake up as I groan and touch the side of my head. How long was I out? Shit, Gwen. She definitely pushed me again. Fuck.
Where are they? I quickly get up and searched them. I heard a sound in a clock house. Okay, I'm going there.
I quickly got there and I saw Gwen hanging on Peter's web. Oh, shit. "Oh my God. Gwen!" I reacted and Gwen look down. "Kara," she replied. "Hang on, okay. I'm gonna find something okay," I tell her.
Okay, find something soft. But what? Shit. She's going to fall. Unless I catch her. I can climb up to her. Yeah, I'm gonna do that. I'm doing that right now.
I quickly jump to one of the metal handles on the side of the tower. I put my feet up to the handle as I reach for the one above. I repeat it as fast as I can. "I'm coming to get you, Gwen. Just hang on," I say to her. "Hurry," she responded.
"I should've stretched this morning. Damn it," I say to myself as I climb again. Then I see Gwen's falling. "No!" I screamed. Then I held out a hand to catch her. She got a hold of my hands and I sigh in relief.
"I got you," I tell her and she laughs in relief. But I feel my hands getting sweaty and I slip my hand from the metal handle and we both fall. "Shit," I screamed as we fall.
"This is not how I picture how I'm gonna die," she tells me and I chuckle. "See you on the other side," I say to her. "See you on the other side," she replied and we both close our eyes.
I feel Peter's web on my back. "Peter caught us," I tell her. The webs retracted causing my hold on Gwen to slip and I let her go. I watch as Gwen fall to her death. "No!" I screamed with tears in my eyes.
Peter cut the web and brought me to the ground. "No, no, no, no," I say as I got to her. "Gwen? Gwen, sweetie, open your eyes. Gwen, please," I say as I tried to wake her up. "Gwen, this is not funny. Don't do this to me. Gwen, please, I can't lose you,"
"I'm so sorry. This is all my fault. This is. . . this is all my fault. I'm so sorry," Peter said and I keep on crying as I hug her. "I'm sorry, I dragged you into this. I'm so sorry," I whisper to her as I hug her tightly.
"This is all my fault," he said and I put Gwen on the ground slowly. "It's not your fault. It's not," I tell him but he shook his head. "No, it is. It's my fault," he said and now I'm the one shaking my head.
"It's not. She made her choice. As do I. If anything it's my fault. I dragged her into this. This is my fault," I tell him and we hear a cop's siren. "You have to get out of here before the cops got here,"
"I can't leave you. Not like this," he replied to me. "You have to. Go," I say to him and I sit beside Gwen's body. I see Peter's still here. "GO!" I ordered him. He put on his mask and swings away.
I look at Gwen's body again. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry," I keep muttering that all over again as I caress her hair and hug her. "I can't lose you too. I can't," I sob as I put my forehead against her.
"Stop being stubborn and open your eyes. Gwen, please. Please just do something. Breathe, wiggle your toes, anything. Don't leave me like this,"
Then the cops found us. "Are you okay Maam?" one of them asked but I didn't answer them. "I love you, Gwen. I will always love you," I whisper to her and I look at the cops. "The bad guy is up there," I tell them as point upward.

I'm at Gwen's funeral and I look at Gwen's headstone. It was a lovely ceremony. The weather is also great. Sunny. Gwen would've liked that.
