As Miles walked up to her he noticed that that she was crying in her lap. "Hey Gwen," he said so he didn't scare her by walking up on her. "It's all my fault." She said through her tears. "What's all your fault?" Miles asked wondering why she ran out of the hospital. "You don't get it, do you, everyone close to me either dies or gets hurt. First Peter, then my dad, now you and your dad." "What do you mean?" Miles asked confused. "Peter died because I couldn't save him, My dad died because I couldn't save him either as someone shot him, and I just watched because I couldn't get there fast enough!" She yelled. "And now your dad almost died because some idiot was looking for me." "That's my fault." She said now back to crying. "I never meant to hurt you or your dad Miles." Gwen said. Now talking like she was going somewhere and not coming back. "You didn't, you didn't pull the trigger, just like you didn't pull the trigger on your dad, neither this nor that was your fault." He said putting a hand on her shoulder and causing her to pull away from him. "I may not have pulled the trigger." she said. "But I didn't stop it either." "Gwen you COULDN'T stop it, not didn't, you physically couldn't have stopped either of them." Miles said. "Thanks Miles," She said a little comforted. "But it was still my fault that that guy was looking for me when he shot your dad." Gwen said softly. "He May have been looking for you, but that doesn't mean he was acting for you." Miles said trying anything to stop her from feeling this way. "Maybe not but still, he was looking for me when he shot him, not someone else, and I can't let that happen again." She said with a tear rolling down her cheek. "What do you mean?" Miles asked confused again. "Goodbye Miles." She said as she opened a portal back to her dimension. She went to walk through but stopped when she heard Miles's voice. "Gwen please don't leave, I almost lost my dad today I can't lose you to." Miles pleaded trying to get her to stay. She turned around and kissed his cheek. "This is the last time we will see each other so why not." She thought "Goodbye." she said as she walked through the portal. Leaving Miles there, on the roof, alone. About a half hour later his mom walks up behind him asking what's wrong. "She left and it's my fault." Miles said between tears. "Honey no it isn't, if you tried then that's all you could do. You can't make her decisions for her." Rio said "I guess your right." Miles said before going back to crying. "Why does it hurt so much we weren't even a couple, we were just friends." He said between tears. Because you loved her mijo, and you still do. "Your right." He said standing up. "I do love her." "I'm going to find her and get her back." He said his confidence wavering in his voice. "Well since it isn't a school night I guess you can go to another dimension." She said nonchalantly. "How do you know about that?" He asked caught off guard. "Me and your father have known for a while we just thought it best that you tell us and not the other way around." Rio said. "Alright well I'll go tomorrow after dads feeling better and she has a chance to calm down." Miles said visibly shaken from the idea of telling her that he loved her. "Are you sure that's the reason?" Rio said pointing to his terrified body. "Yeah totally no other reason." Miles said clearly lying. A week later Miles has been texting and calling her but no answer, he was to afraid to go over there and just show up. "What if she doesn't want to see me?" "What if she doesn't like me the same way?" "I'll just wait another day and maybe she'll text back." Miles thought to himself throughout the week. Finally Rio went up to him and said "If you wait to long you'll miss your chance." "Ok ok I'm going tell dad that I am sorry I couldn't be here when he gets home." Miles said as he started shaking again. "I will and it will be fine." She said reassuringly. "Wait isn't today her birthday?" Rio asked. "Yep Miles said showing her a wrapped gift before he put it in her bag. Go back a week and to Gwen's dimension. She immediately started balling when she's got home so to take her mind off of everything she went out as Spider Woman. That and band practice was all she did for a week well plus she missed Miles, that's all she would talk about at band practice. When her birthday came around all she wanted to do was stay in bed and not do anything but she couldn't she had a concert that day at a club downtown. Miles was walking through Gwen's dimension looking for Spider Woman but couldn't find her. He didn't want to swing because he didn't want to show the world Spiderman and not Spider Woman. After searching for most the day he came a cross a poster the said "The Mary Janes at The Velvet Club at 7:00 it was already 6:15 he had to hurry if he wanted to make it. Behind stage the band was getting ready to go on stage in a couple of minutes. Miles arrived at 6:50 and turned invisible and stole a backstage pass. It was time the band went on. "Hello New York!" The lead singer yelled, "Before we get started I want to wish a happy birthday to Gwen our drummer!" The crowd roared as Gwen stood up and waved. Backstage Miles found Gwen's dressing room tried to sneak in but got stopped by a security guard of the band who was at every performance, "Can I help you?" "Hi I'm looking for Gwen Stacy's dressing room." He said. "And why is that" the man said. Well I'm Miles and-." Before he could finish the man said "Oh Miles, Gwen talks about you all the time especially this past week he says with a wink." "Really?" Miles asks a little confused. "Yeah." He said. "Oh well we're just friends." Miles said knowing he was going to tell her he loved her tonight. "Not from the way she talks about you." He said. Causing Miles to think, "Maybe she does like me, nope she doesn't. He shot down the idea almost as quick as it was brought up. "But follow me, I'll take you to her dressing room. Miles sat there for the 2 hours the band played and when they finally got off Miles felt like he was going to die of happiness and embarrassment, "What if she doesn't like me the same?" "What if she doesn't want to see me?" "What if she met someone else?" Miles was now pacing as the door opened and in walked Gwen. He was now flashing from visible to invisible. When Gwen saw him she just stood there and tears started rolling down her face.
