26th September 2015

The day was Bens birthday and it was the first one since he had died, Peter and Aunt May had kept out the house every time they could, working longer, staying at Ned's more, and eating out almost every night. They still had not redecorated or got rid of his things, every time they tried they got too emotional and had to leave it all alone. Peter was falling behind in classes but no one said anything. Ned and MJ made sure no one said anything bad about him or his uncle, Aunt May had stopped sleeping in the room and slept on the couch or didn't sleep at all. Peter had also developed his abilities and has been telling Ben everytime he visits.

Peter visited the grave every day after school, and sometimes May went with him but recently she stopped going as much. Today they both went carrying a small card and present for him. When they arrived there they had seen people had already left cards and flowers. On one card it had MJ and her families name written on it and another had Ned and his families. Someone had left a small watch with the name Benjamin engraved in it. Peter and May looked down at the grave and smiled slightly, no one forgot it was his birthday. Placing the cards down they had gotten him Peter placed down a note for Ben.

Uncle Ben

You won't be reading this but it's just to say that I love you so much and every day I think of you, thank you for accepting me as me and I'll never forget you. Also, I applied for a job to help out Aunt May, shes kinda struggling with the bills so I thought I would help out. Another thing, I was looking into top surgery and no matter how much I want it we won't be able to afford it so I have decided to not mention it to Aunt May, she's been taking on more and more shifts at work. She misses you so much, Uncle Ben, she won't even sleep in your room anymore, and she hardly sleeps at that. I hear her crying all the time and she tries to hide it but I know better. So when she goes to sleep I make her breakfast and make sure she eats. I don't know how much she will be able to take. Still, I'll always help her where ever I can cause you both done that for me.

I also told you I'd keep you up to date on the spider bite incident, so I can now stick to walls and I have designed web shooters! I think you would have loved them, I choose a name too Spider-Man! I like the idea of it.

Anyway, I have to leave it there, I'll keep you updated when I visit soon, I miss you so much Happy Birthday.

Love Peter

May looked down at her nephew then the grave, the two people she loved the most, one gone and one holding a secret that he didn't want to tell anyone. Letting Peter have a moment alone she walked away slightly and caught glimpse of a man wearing a suit get into a black car, thinking nothing of it she forgot about it and turned back as Peter burned his letter, something he did to keep others reading it. He stood up to let her have a moment alone and walked away tears falling out of his eyes.

May placed her gift down beside everyone's gift and opened it, inside was a heart lock and a key. She took the lock and placed it on the bottom of the stone, engraved on it was the words "You hold the key to my heart, forever" She picked up the lock and put it on her necklace she wore beside his wedding ring. Crying she stroked the grave and stood up.

That night the two mourning people sat in and ordered Bens favourite food and then watched his favourite movie. Both crying but not acknowledging it. Ned and MJ came over to help them both through the day but left after they realised they couldn't help only make it worse.
