Mom and Dad,

It's been a few days since the death of Mr. Osbourn...I guess I'll never get used to calling someone who once was my friend a murderer. It was especially hard for me NOT to tell Harry the truth. I mean, he deserved it. And well, I also don't want him to wrongly accuse 'Spider-man' of killing his father. But well, after all that he'd been through, it might not have the effect I want. So...he'll wait.

Anyway, M.J called me last night, said she wanted to talk to me about something. I think she's beginning to suspect (perhaps already knew) that I am Spider-man. All I can say is, WOW, never knew two kisses spell disaster. She asked me to meet here tonight. But well, you see, I had some business involving two guns and a bad cop tonight, so basically I missed it. Maybe that'll cool her off for a while. Until I think up of a good alibi.

I'm starting to wonder whether not telling M.J. the whole truth was the best choice. I mean, sooner or later she'll find out. THEN what do I tell her? 'Sorry I was too busy fighting crime and lying to you that I forgot to mention I'm spider-man?' It just doesn't seem right I guess. Well, we'll wait and see. Talk to you guys later. If you see Uncle Ben, tell him I said hi.

Peter closed his diary and shoved it quickly under the bed as he heard someone approaching.

"Peter?" He recognized the voice that belonged to Harry, his best and possibly his only friend right now, "May I come in? There's something I need to discuss with you!"

"Yeah, sure Harry! The door's unlocked!" Peter replied as he shut the window closed using his web.

"Well," Harry looked a bit disturbed as he sat down on the bed, "This is gonna be hard for me to ask but..."

He paused a bit, "You know that I'm now officially the owner of Oscorp right?"

"Yes," Peter said as he kept a sad joke to himself, "Thanks to me!"

"I'm required to move back into the company's mansion, you know, my father's place!"

"Oh, I see what you're trying to say," Peter realized what this was all about, "Don't worry about me, I've already checked AND found a place to move in already. I could go as soon as tomorrow."

"Peter, I feel bad about all this," Harry sounded sincere and Peter knew he was, "All these troubles just because of me!"

"It's okay, Harry! But what are you planning to do now? Are you planning to transfer to another university? or..."

"I'm quitting!" Harry let out a sigh, "I guess college wasn't meant for me!"

"I don't think you should, you've worked so hard and now you want to quit?"

A moment of silent fell between them. Peter felt he should have said something comforting but it was hard to tell lies, especially to his best friend.

"Well, no matter what decision you make, I'll always support you Harry," he stopped a bit to clear his throat, "But do think about it! This is your future Harry!"

As he sat there, looking at him, Peter couldn't help but drifted back to that day at the cemetery. Those hateful words from Harry were still haunting him, "I swear on my father's grave but Spider-man will pay!" Again, Peter wanted to tell Harry everything. But he managed to hold back.

Harry stood up and walked towards the door. He stopped in front of Peter and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Take care Pete, you're the only family I have left!"

Peter didn't reply. He was afraid that he would blurt out the truth. He also didn't know what to say. So Peter just nodded.

As Harry shut the door behind him, Peter took out his diary again and scribbled in the last few words.

Mom, Dad,

One more thing. I'm officially homeless.

With that, Peter crashed onto his bed without changing his clothes and went to sleep right away.
