I got bitten by a spider.

A radio-active Spider.

Cool?

Nah.

It had me sick for 2 fucking whole weeks.

But.

I had powers.

I could stick to any surface!

So cool!

I had this sixth sense.

Even cooler!

Plus super strength and super speed!

Maybe the bite wasn't that bad.

Actually no.

It was bad.

I vomited non-stop for two whole weeks! I missed school for2 whole weeks! C'mon!

High Schools's tough. I couldn't afford to miss it. Yes, people say I'm smarter than my age, but everyone needs study! And I missed 2 weeks worth of it! I definitely need Ned's help now.

And I'm already 14, and Flash's still bothers me. What's wrong with that guy?

I got into an argument with Ben. So I stormed off angrily.

But, anger soon faded away and was replaced with guilt. Why had I shouted at Ben? He did nothing wrong. It's all my fault. Why? Why did I argue with Ben? He brought me up, and then I yelled at him! To be honest, he looked more sad than angry. Yup, I think I disappointed Ben. Sigh.

I cooled down and realised it was already 10 pm. Oh no! So late!

I quickly ran back home. On the way, I heard a bang.

I quickly checked it.

Oh no.

Oh shit.

No.

Ben!

He was shot.

Ben.

Was.

Shot.

Why is he out so late? Probably searching for me, I guess. I- I killed Ben. If I hadn't left, Ben wouldn't have died.

I ran to the alley after the shooter left.

"Ben! Ben! Uncle Ben? Please. I'm sorry, Uncle Ben. Please. Don't leave me." I sobbed.

Ben smiled weakly. "Oh Peter. I'm not mad at you, okay? But remember, With Great Powers Comes Great Responsibility."

Then.

He.

Stopped.

Breathing.

"NO!"
