Peter Parker walked the busy New York streets, the scene at Harry's replaying. Over, over, and over again.

Peter had gone back to his apartment, and reached for the black suit, but in his hesitation he'd decided against it.

Its evil. Why can't I get rid of it! Do I just like to cut loose and have something to blame it on? I hurt MJ and Harry. Still- Harry! What was he doing with MY girlfriend?!

Peter shook his head, he never owned MJ. And MJ certainly wasn't held there against her will.

Oh boy! What've I gotten myself into? Life used to be simple.

He had gone back to his shanty apartment, and heard his landlord's telephone ring. Ursula shouted up, "Peter? Its MJ!"

"If only she knew," Peter mumbled. He swung himself off the bed and planting one unsteady foot in front of the other, made it downstairs.

He thanked Ursula, and held the phone. MJ was humming something, and the sound made Peter smile. "MJ?"

"Peter, can you come over? I'm sorry I exploded at you, and I want to be friends."

Peter smiled, MJ sounded nervous.

"I'm sorry too, MJ. I don't know what came over me, just shocked. Where do you want me to meet you?"

"At Harry's." MJ heard Peter's sharp intake of breath. "Peter, you need to tell Harry you're sorry."

"Sorry?! Me tell HARRY that I'M sorry?!? He was sleeping with MY girlfriend!!!"

Peter heard silence, Ursula had obviously heard, along with the 30 other neighbors, respectively. Peter winced, and tried again.

"MJ I'm sorry." "Peter, come over." "Okay." "Bye." "Bye."

MJ had already hung up. Peter exhaled, and knocked his head against the wall. He couldn't lose it there, Harry was volatile.

Peter put his good spider suit underneath his regular clothes. He called a cab, praying silently his 20 bucks would cover. He didn't feel like web slinging today.

As the cab arrived at Harry expansive penthouse, Peter paid the cab and got out. He got into the elevator, nervous.

As the elevator reached the entrance, Peter cautiously got out. "Peter?" MJ strode towards him. Peter felt his breath catch. She was beautiful. Her long red hair, her cute mouth-

"Come on Peter." Peter followed her, his senses on edge. Any moment Harry'd finish the job with a knife, deep I Peter's chest.

Harry wouldn't do that in front of MJ.

The thought didn't ease his discomfort. There, back faced to him, was Harry. Decked out in one of his famous, designer suits. This time, it was black.

Harry never worried about rent, or taxis. Then again, I was never pressured to be something I wasn't.

"Peter. Look"- Peter felt himself bristling. "Harry and I"- MJ burst in.

"Harry and I?!? Are you two a couple or something?!" Peter's voice cracked, and he felt like a little boy again, living in Harry's shadow.

"Harry, I'm sorry that was uncalled for. Then again, so is sleeping with your best friend's girlfriend!" Harry glared, moving closer to Peter, "Who said she's your girlfriend, huh Pete?" MJ stood between them.

"Enough! I called Peter to set things right. Fighting won't solve anything!" Her touch lingered on Harry's forearm. Peter sadly shook his head.

"Are you breaking up with me? Please MJ- I'll"- MJ stopped him. "Peter I love you as a friend. I knew you were going to purpose at the restaurant. It scared me, and I left. Peter, I'm sorry for not telling you sooner, but I love Harry."

Peter looked to Harry. "Sorry Pete about losing it. You're my buddy. You know that. I love you too. MJ though- I love her so much."

Peter nodded, biting his lip.

I will NOT lose it! I'm calm, cool, collected.

Peter exhaled. "Okay. I'm sorry too for this morning. So I guess that's it. See ya." Peter waved jauntily, faking calmness. MJ caught his arm, Peter surprised.

"Stop it. I know how you felt about me, how you thought. Think though, Peter! Wouldn't it be horrible to spend your life with someone you couldn't return their affection? Wouldn't it be horrible?"

Peter nodded. "I understand. Its hard for me, but I understand. Sorry Harry for"- Harry held up a hand, flashing a grin. "Forget it buddy."

MJ smiled. "We're cool?" Harry hit Peter on the shoulder. "We're cool."
