Time slowed down and each second seemed like minutes. Gwen could feel her mind fill with fear and regret, as her body fell towards the hard ground and away from the safety of Peter's arms.

All the hurt that Peter felt before had disappeared and his body felt numb. Without hesitation, he shot his web towards the falling girl. Time stopped as the web shot through the dusty air.

The sound of the rapid heartbeats filled the air, but the tip of the web failed to reach Gwen's body in time. It only took one single moment to change everything. Her spine crashed against the ground, and her breath left her body in a heartbeat. Peter's heart became heavier and his heart seemed to stop beating too; his eyes glared at the lifeless bent body in disbelief.

The failed web pulled on the girl's torso, and let her hover lifelessly just above the ground, bent backwards in a very unnatural manner.

Peter wrapped Gwen in his arms, and felt his guilt flood his body. "Just hold on, stay with me, stay with me Gwen." He pulled her close to her face, and his tears ran down his face and onto Gwen's still warm face.

Life seemed to be worthless afterwards, for Peter. The hope there once was for Spiderman ceased to exist. Cold and harsh season went by without notice by Peter. He felt his life was purposeless and full of guilt after the tragedy.

One morning like any other gloomy worthless day, Peter saw, through his lazy eyes, his Aunty carrying boxes full of his late Uncle's belongings. He soon came to understand that he needs to stop mourning for Gwen.

After listening to the recording of Gwen's graduation speech, Peter felt speechless and found himself reflect back on their time together; on how Gwen has always been his hope. Her beautiful words gave Peter hope; hope to become Spiderman once again and make a better future.

Soon enough, an idiot wanting to have revenge began terrorising the town. Spiderman came to action, and with a brave heart, saved many lives.


(GWEN'S P.O.V)

I saw myself falling further away from Peter's arms. Fear flooded my body. Any rage I felt towards Peter disappeared behind my feelings for him. They say you can see your life flash before your eyes before you die, but it's a lie. In the short moment, I could only think about my love for my family and especially Peter. And then my world ended. No more light.


In the complete silence, I can feel the sound of my own heartbeat... Breathing heavily, I open my eyes. I let out a big breath. "Is this heaven?"
