1th December 2016

Peter looked out his window, after a week and a bit of organising it was finally the day.

He had made sure everyone who loved May was invited and then also made sure she was beside Ben and his parents. He was to do a speech before the burial then would be the first one to put the soil in the grave. It was so planned out that nothing could go wrong.

Peter put on his shirt and black trousers, in his hand was the same tie that May taught him to tie before the party. He looked down at it and smiled, carefully tying it the same way May did he made the knot. He looked at himself and smiled, he was smiling for once but he was also crying.

Thinking of May still hurt but he knew that it would for years, he would never fully get better because she was his light in the dark but after a few years it will get better to deal with it. He knew that.

As everyone finished getting ready they all started heading to the main living room to meet everyone. Tony was the last one as he was organising the last few things for the day. Everyone said hello to him and they headed down stairs into the cars that were waiting for them, Tony, Pepper and Peter got into the first one and then the others split up into three groups.

They drove to the church and met up with MJ and Ned's families who they greeted. Everyone met each other and then before Peter knew it, it was time for the service to begin.

He sat in the front row with MJ, Ned, Shuri, Tony and Pepper while the rest of the team sat behind them with the other attenders.

The Father stood up and said a few words before asking for Peter to go up. Peter stood up and with one final breath walked to the podium and looked out.

He saw everyone that May had loved. Friends that she needed, loved ones that she loved and the ones who she helped. He saw Mr Delemar with his daughter, He saw Ned and MJs families who were thankful to May for helping them raise their kids, He saw the ones that May helped in the Hospital, He saw the ones that May leaned on for support and the ones who she let lean on her. He lastly saw the Team who took them both in when they needed it, loved them like one of their own and believed in both of them when they needed it.

Peter smiled at everyone and started his speech.

"Hey Everyone, I know we are here for like the worst reason imaginable but May wouldn't think like that. She would tell us to look on the bright side, we are all here together. Some people haven't seen each other in years, some have never met, but May would tell us to smile and talk to each other." Peter stopped and smiled, he knew that he could do this speech but it would be a bit hard sometimes.

"Now I was asked to describe May in a few words but I can't, May was the kind of person who would lend someone money even if she didn't have it, she was the kind of person to give her last breath to someone she loved. She was the kind of person that would give, second, third and fourth chances to everyone. She... She was the person who made my life better every day, from the minute I woke up, to the minute I fell asleep." Peter stopped again and looked around, most people were crying but he saw that all the Team were, Tony smiled at him to encourage him to keep going.

"She was like a mom to me, even if she wasn't, she made me happy, when I was ill she made me soup, when I was sad we ate ice cream. She was the first person to ban me from coffee and also the first person to tell me I was perfect the way I am, she was just amazing during my transition and I could not have asked for a better Aunt to live with," He was so close, he knew he couldn't cry during the speech so he kept going.

"Another thing about May is that she was happy, as she took her last breath she told me to live life to the fullest because everything has an expiration date, and you never know when," This broke Peter, he started crying but he wanted to finish the speech, so he kept going. "And that's what we should do, we should mourn her but we should also live, tick something of the bucket list because she showed us that everyday is worth it. Thank you for being a part of Mays Life."

He walked back to his seat as everyone clapped and Tony hugged him. He just nodded and stood there crying. The day had just started and there was more to do.

The next part of the day was the burial.

They all walked out to where she was to be buried and Peter smiled, it was beside Ben and also his parents. As they put the casket into the ground everyone smiled sadly. peter knew this was going to be the last time he saw her so he prayed a quick thank you to God for letting her be part of his life.

As they finished lowering the casket they moved everything so there was only a pile of dirt left, Peter picked up a handful of dirt and tossed it on the casket below. Everyone followed him and before he knew it everyone had finished and they were now heading back to the Tower.

Peter wasn't listening, he didn't want to, Tony could see that so guided him away from the prying eyes and into the car to go back.

They sat in a comfortable silence until they reached the Tower, Paparazzi were everywhere so Tony went into the other side of the garage. Peter was just looking out the window while this all happened, Tony opened his door and walked over to the elevator.
