t had been a year and a half. Already a year and a half ago since she died. I was standing on Gwen's grave. In a suit with my hands in my pockets. Her father told me to keep her our of it but I didn't listen. Now she's dead because of me. I sighed as I walked home. Scott and the others don't know that Gwen is dead. They probably saw what happened though on the news. Spider-Man hasn't been as round since Gwen died. I intend to bring her back in her name. I just can't believe she's gone. I can remember that night like it was yesterday.

It was night and I had defeated Electro. I was walking towards Gwen. "Hey maybe we can still catch your flight." I yelled over to her. That's when I heard a cackle of laughter. I stopped. I looked to the skies. I heard more laughter. I saw a shape trailing green smoke. "Gwen...stay right there. Don't move." I warned her. The shape descended between Gwen and I. "Harry?" Harry was wearing a full suit of body armor and had a hover glider. "Gwen go!" Harry looked at me and turned around to look at Gwen. He looked back at me and back at Gwen, he finally looked at me. "Peter!!! When you said Spider-Man said no.....you meant YOU SAID NO!!!!" "Harry don't do this....you don't want to hurt me." "Oh....but.....I do....I really really do." "GWEN RUN!!!!" I yelled. Gwen turned to run. Harry spun around to her. He sped to her and and grabbed her. "GWEN!!!" I screamed. Harry flew up into the air with Gwen in his arms. I web-zipped up to the sky. I swung after Harry and Gwen. I stood on the roof of a tower. Harry was hovering over me a couple hundred feet in the air with Gwen. The memory jumps forward. Tears were falling from my eyes.

Harry and I were tangling inside the tower. Gwen was hanging on for dear life to my web. Harry was pinning me down. I had the web in one hand. I kicked Harry off of me. I pulled Gwen up. Harry jumped at me and the web began to be moved by the gears of the clock tower. The web was getting closer and closer to being cut. Gwen was looking up at me. Then everything stopped. The web snapped and Gwen fell. I kicked Harry off of me. And he hit his head on the the clock tower wall. I dove for Gwen and shot a web at her. The world moved in slow motion. The web attached to her. I grabbed a metal bar and held on. Gwen was motionless at the bottom. I jumped down to the ground. I landed on the ground next to Gwen. Gwen was still motionless. "Hey...Gwen we did it. We won." I whispered to her. I grabbed her body and pulled the web off of her. "Gwen?" She did respond. "Gwen. Wake up. You gotta to wake up for me." I was scared. "Gwen? Gwen! GWEN!!! Stay with me! Stay with me! Gwen please! Don't do this to me. I beg of you! Oh god no! Nonononono Gwen no!" I screamed as I cried brushing her hair out of her face. I held her in my arms screaming to the top of my lungs the word "No." Then the memory ends. Here I am now...all alone again.
