As Peter swung away from Gwen, he realized that his heart was broken into two pieces. One side of him still loved the beautiful red head who was still waiting patiently for him on the roof of the hospital. The other told him to forget all about her and move on with the blonde that he had known for only two years. 'And I thought battling the Green Goblin, your best friend, and your role model was tough,' thought Peter.
'I don't know what's going to happen later on, but I have to tell her soon.'

Mary Jane looked up and saw Peter swinging towards her. She knew that she didn't love Harry, but she still felt guilty anyway. 'Even if I don't love Harry, I have to be honest. I have to tell him soon,' thought MJ as she saw Peter landing beside her.
"Hey, MJ. I-"
"Tiger, I have to tell you something," said Mary Jane as she wrung her hands. Peter noticed that she was a nervous wreck.
"What's wrong?" asked Peter with a worried voice.
"Peter, I love you-you know that, right?" asked Mary Jane.
"Of course I do, MJ."
"I don't want to lose you, Peter, so hopefully, you'll trust me when I say this," replied MJ. Peter continued to look at her through his mask.
"Peter-while you were this monster-Harry saved me from being electrocuted by Doc Ock." Peter continued to stare at her with concern written all over his face. MJ mentally took a deep breath and continued. "Then-well-he-uh-he was going to drop me into the air, and I noticed that something was wrong with him. He wasn't acting like his normal old self. I tried to talk to him, but he just told me to get away." MJ stopped and swallowed for a moment. "So, I ripped his mask off, and-and-I-I-I kissed him." She quickly looked up. She realized that she couldn't see any facial expressions or reactions. 'I wish I could see his face,' thought MJ, 'But I can't. If someone comes here...'
"Tiger," she said as she gripped his hand, "you have to realize that I only did it because I was trying to help Harry. It was the only idea that I could think of at the moment. I don't love him, and I don't have any lingering feelings for him. Harry's just a great friend." Mary Jane's heart stopped when Peter didn't respond. 'God, how do I tell MJ what just happened?' thought Peter. MJ's touch snapped Peter back to reality. She held his hand.

"Peter, please, understand," whispered MJ. After what seemed like an eternity to MJ, Peter finally spoke: "MJ, I trust you-don't worry. I understand you were just trying to help him." MJ felt a huge burden lift off her shoulders as tears of joy flowed from her face.

"Oh, Tiger. For a moment there, I thought you wouldn't believe me." "MJ," said Peter as he stared at her with those white opaque eyes, "How could I not trust you when all this time, you've always had faith in me-no matter what other people have said?" He wiped her tears away as MJ smiled, and although she couldn't see it, Peter smiled underneath his mask at the sight of her dazzling smile. Suddenly, MJ remembered that she had interrupted Peter. "So, Peter-what were you going to say before I interrupted you?" asked MJ curiously. This unexpected question jolted Peter to his senses.
"Nothing," he quickly replied, "It was nothing important."
MJ realized that his response was so sudden and quick, but she shrugged it off.
'It couldn't be that important,' thought MJ.
