T.W- Sad, tears :(

-

People always said that when you are dying, you feel at peace. Of course no one believes that.

But it's true.

Peter found this out.

As he was laying there, looking up into the night sky, stars shining brightly above, almost beckoning him to join them. Blood was slowly dripping from the hole in his chest. He knows Mr Stark is coming, but he also knows it's too late.

He doesn't feel it, In fact he feels nothing. Nothing but peace. He couldn't feel the inevitable pain he should of from his chest, he couldn't feel the biting chill of the cold air or how his lungs burned with every breath. He finally felt peace, nothingness. To some nothingness could be horrible, to Peter it is calming.

He knows he is going to die. He has excepted that. He can feel the steady thrum of his heart hitting lightly against the inside of his chest, fighting to repair what is broken. But he knows he can't be fixed, you can't fix something so broken; something that doesn't want to be fixed.

But he also knows he can't leave like this. May, Ned, MJ. Tony. He needs them to know how much he cares. They need to know. So with all his might he pulls himself up to lean against the wall, grabbing his mask and putting it In front of him.

"Karen. Please record this and send it to May" he says quietly.

'Of course Peter' Karen replies, sorrow in her voice even for an A.I.

"Hey Aunt May. I'm really sorry I left you. But you need to know, it was peaceful, I can already tell. After I lost mum and dad you and Uncle Ben took the role. Then Uncle Ben died and you took both roles, that was until Mr Stark came along and took the Farther role. You where the best Parent a child could ask for, I love you so much and thank you for always being there when No one else was. Stay strong Aunt May, please. I love you" I say, pure emotion sweeps through me.

The next one is to Ned and MJ.

"Hey guys. I know it won't be easy, but I know you can do it. You guys where the bestest friends I could ever ask for, you helped me through so much and I will be eternally grateful. Ned you better keep playing with LEGO'S. And MJ, don't change. You are perfect the way you are. I love you guys"

By now I have tears building in my eyes and I know this next one will break me. Tony's.

"Hey Mr S- Tony. Hey Tony. Wow this one is the hardest to say. Where do I even begin. I need you to keep going, don't give up please. This isn't your fault, you actually made my life so much better, so much brighter. I never told you this but I think of you as my dad, you were always by my side and helping me. We would have movie nights, spend all night in the lab working on new projects, then getting shouted at by Pepper the next day, those were some good days" I laugh and cough up some blood, but carry on never the less.

"I need you to do me a favour. Live your life, stay with Pepper and make a family. I know you think you will be like Howard, but I know you are so much better than him. When you need me I'll be there, listening in the shadows, thank you for being the best dad any one could ever ask for. I'm so sorry. I love you so much" by the end tears are streaming down my face as realisation sets in.

I'm going to die and I will never he able to hug and say goodbye to anyone.

But the wind blows and I lean back again, looking up to the sky for one final time I see a flash of red and gold.

But it's too late.

-

When everyone got there voice message. They cried. So much.

May kept going with life, sad but not alone. Her and Happy soon got together.

Ned and MJ stayed friends and kept what they did the same.

Tony swore he would make a family. Carry on with life and stay strong, for Peter.

All their tears will forever stain the earth, sorrow and pain flowing from their eyes. But through all the pain came a strong desire. A desire to live on for Spiderman. For Peter.
