A/N: I am so sorry this took so long! I ended up getting my IPad taken away for what was supposed to be a week but ended up being 1 1/2 months. Yay! *Jazz hands* Anywho, I was going to update yesterday as an Easter present, but that did not turn out. (Obviously) But here I am now! Better late than never. So now I'm going to shut up and get on with the story.

Peter closed his eyes, but he immediately opened them when her image flashed inside his head. Four months it had been since she died. Four months since he lost the love of his life. Four months of feeling like he had died inside.

Peter looked over at the door, hearing his Aunt walking up the stairs, trying to be quiet so she wouldn't wake Peter if he was sleeping. Peter noticed that she checked in on him every hour on the hour, even if it was one in the morning. Honestly, Peter would be telling his aunt to stop so she could get a healthy amount of sleep, but he felt horrible and her presence conforted him.

Aunt May opened the door and walked over to Peter's bed and sat beside him. When she saw that he was awake, she began to run her fingers though his hair.

"Why don't you go out and hang out with your friends?" She asked.

Peter moaned, "I don't have any. Not anymore."

"What about Ugine. Or what does he call himself now?"

"Flash." Peter answered plainly, "And he doesn't count as a friend."

Aunt May sighed, "What does he count as then?"

Peter paused, then said, "An acquaintance."

"Fine, how about that sweet little girl who has been coming over lately?"

"Parker?" Peter shook his head, "Acquantance. Just a warning though, don't call her a little girl in front of her. She'll punch you in the nose, trust me, she's not as sweet and innocent as she seems."

"Peter!" His aunt scolded. She was about to go on scolding him about how one should not talk about people in a certain way when the doorbell rang. A smile appeared across May's face, "That must be her!"

2hrs earlier

Parker sat back in the waiting room in the hospital rubbing her arm. She just had the cast from when she broke her arm the night of Gwen and JT's death removed a few weeks ago.

Parker shook her head, trying not to think about that night, but she couldn't help herself. Looking back at things helps her put pieces together and improve, it's how she figured out Peter was Spider-Man.

Parker closed her eyes and let herself drift off to that night.

Parker remembered a tentacle coming towards her. She remembered the feeling of knowing that you are about to die. But then, something red, white, and blue hit Octavious' chest, knocking him to the side.

Immediately, Parker flew up and was pulled into JT's arms. Both Parker and JT nodded at the captain, who turned to deal with a once again concious Kraven.

"Set up the snap net in my left pocket at the bottom of the east side of the building." JT whispered into Parker's ear, who nodded, not bothering to ask questions. JT took a step away from Parker and threw something at Octavious while yelling, "Over here!". Once JT caught Octavious' attention, he ran towards the stairs, going up.

"Spider-Man, come help me set up the snap net." Parker turned called Peter, who looked between Gwen and Parker, unsure of what to do.

"I'll take her to the hospital." Tony assured Spider-Man. Spider-Man nodded and followed Parker.

Once they got outside, Parker sighed. It was raining, "This is going to make our job a bit difficult."

"So what exactly is a snap net?" Peter asked.

Parker reached into her pocket and took something out and turned to pick up a rock, "Basically a net that" Parker wraps the edges of a mini net around the tips of her fingers, "snaps shut when an object falls into it." Parker drops the rock into the mini net and the net shuts around the rock.

"Did you just happen to have a mini snap nep in your pocket?"

"Yeah." Parker responded like it was perfectly normal.

Peter blinked, "Okay." And they got to work setting up the net.

Once they were done, Peter and Parker looked up at the roof to see JT struggling against Octavious.

"I'm going to go up. You go ahead and head to the hospital." Parker told Peter, who nodded and swung off.

Once Parker got up the steps she saw JT knocking Octavious off the building. He looked relieved, but Parker worried that Octavious would catch himself with his tenticles. However, after a few seconds, a Parker heard the net snap shut and she sighed in relief.

JT smiled and began to walk towards Parker, but then a look of pain appeared on his face, and he looked down at his leg. Parker could have sworn that she saw something spark on his leg.

Next thing she knew, JT was slipping down the roof and falling off the edge. And she was running after him. Parker jumped off the roof and attached a cord that was connected to her waist onto the roof edge as she jumped off.

Parker reached out her hand towards JT and he reached his hand towards Parker. Both of their hearts were beating a billion beats per minute.

Just before JT hit the ground, his hand met Parker's, and she stopped the cord.

"Up or down? And which floor?" Parker smiled.

"Up please. Let's go to the roof."

"Okay. Up up and away we go!" Parker pressed some buttons on her waist and they began to go up.

They were almost at the top when the cord snapped and JT lost his grip on Parker. They both began to fall. Parker closed her eyes, knowing that there was nothing that she could do and let herself fall.

Her fall was short though. Parker opened her eyes and looked up to see that Clint had caught the cord. She turned her head to look down at the ground but then snapped her head back in the upward direction. Down on the ground laid JT, with blood pouring out of his head.

Parker squeezed her yes shut. She wanted to cry, but she couldn't. Her best friend was dead on the ground below her, and it was all her fault.

5hrs later

Parker walked into the hospital and saw Peter sitting outside Gwen's hospital room. He was still in his Spider-Man suit, but Parker knew based on his posture that something was wrong.

Parker walked closer and the sound of Peter's tears became more clear. When Parker got in front of him, Peter looked up and shook his head and put his head into his hands.

-Present-

"Parker?" A lady in a suit asked.

Parker moaned and got up. She followed the lady to a room.

"I'm and I will be your new counselor, seeing that you scared all the others off." Parker smiled when Mrs. Cracio said this, which got her a dirty look. "Do you know why you're here right."

"Because I didn't suffer enough when my friend died?"

"No, because your friend died and everyone is worried you might tip off the edge."

"And this is the perfect solution."

"Parker, you can't expect push through life with back talk and ignorance."

"I don't expect that. I expect to get through life with secrets."

"Like what?"

"How about I tell you some of mine when you tell me some of your juicy secrets. I can tell that you have plenty." The councilor looked stunned. When she didn't reply, Parker looked at the clock, "Times up. Our sessions over." Parker got up and left the room, leaving the older lady in shock.

A/N: this may be the longest chapter I've ever done! Hopefully I can keep this up. Please review, follow and favorite. Happy (late) Easter everybody!
