Chapter 56

[Gwen's pov]

I watched as Peter looked at me for a bit, studying my expression, before sighing and leaving the room. As he left I turned towards MJ and prepared myself for the conversation that was long overdue.

But first I waited for a few seconds just to give Peter time to walk away since he would be able to hear us due to our enhanced senses.

After a few seconds I could help myself but asked "Why? Why would you do something so stupid"

MJ's faces gained an awkward smile as she debated what to say

"I can guess you already know why" she finally decided to say.

And of course I know. It couldn't have been more obvious, the way she looks at him, the way she acts towards him compared to everyone else, how close they are, the small gestures that are difficult to pick up if one wasn't paying attention. It really couldn't have been more obvious.

But I still wanted to hear her say it. It's the only way I'll be able to accept it, I want her to confirm my thoughts with her words alone. I want to hear from her very own words the thing she has kept hidden in her heart.

I want to hear the reason why she was willing to give up her life for him!

"That's true but I want to hear it from you" I said, expressing my inner turmoil into one sentence.

MJ then lets out a heavy sigh, expressing how heavy her next words are, I think she wasn't ever going to express these feelings. This is most likely something she planned to take to her very own grave, she says "Very well, since you want to hear it. There is just one simple reason…"

She pauses as her sleepy expression completely disappears, showing that what she would say next is something she said with 100 percent seriousness and not something she said while slightly drugged up.

"I'm completely in love with Peter Parker"

And there it is the million dollar answer. I let out a sigh as soon as I heard those words, I don't know of what though. A sigh of relief, a sigh of exhaustion, a sigh of exasperation, a sigh of acceptance, or a sigh of defeat. I simply don't know.

"I'm sorry" MJ whispered out which caught me off guard.

I tilted my head in confusion "What are you saying sorry for? If you're saying sorry for loving him then don't, that is disrespecting your feelings and the love you have towards him.

We can't help with who we fall in love with and sometimes that love makes us do very, very, very stupid and idiotic things.

Like what you did back there that was… not very smart to say the least. Do you have any idea how much your death would have affected Peter if you went and died sacrificing your life for him.

He wouldn't have been able to forgive himself, believe or not Peter cares a great deal about you."

I then let out a sigh as I said "I know I'm probably going to regret this in the future but fuck it, like I said love makes us do dumb things… Like allowing you to date Peter"

MJ quickly snapped her head towards my direction, her face then contorted into pain "owie… WHAT!!!" she then shouted.

Her confusion is simply palpable at this point as she asked "Why?"

There are many reasons actually why I'm allowing this. I know Peter and I know myself, Peter won't ever stop loving me. I can sometimes get insecure but I just know it. I have faith in him and our relationship. I could see it in his eyes, the way he looks at me, the way he holds me… No matter how many girls he dates and falls in love with him, I will always be his number one.

"There are numerous reasons actually" I answered her and continued "But a few of the main ones would be that it would be selfish of me to simply tell you to stop loving him.

It's rare to find someone that is willing to sacrifice their life to save the one they love. When you did that you didn't only just use your body to save him… you also did it to save me.

If I was seriously in danger you could have left me for dead and used that chance to be able to have Peter all to yourself but you didn't… you were seriously planning on using your life to save mine as well.

I might not say this often, MJ but I consider you my best friend, and I can't bring myself to hurt you by telling you to give up on Peter and move on."

MJ just continued to look at Me with her mouth wide open. "That's it!!!" She screamed once again, seriously oh weak are her meds she seems so energetic.

I shook my head answering her "Of course not but those are the name reasons why, above all else my number one priority has been and will always will be Peter's happiness, if being with you makes him slightly happy that's a risk I'm willing to take"

"But… But… what about you," she asked and looked at Me with a sad expression in her eyes.

I simply shook my head at that "There's nothing to worry about, I'm okay with this but I'm only okay with this since it's you if it was anybody else I would have probably caved their face in by now.

But here's the catch, you have to get Peter to agree to go out with you and fall in love with you, I'll tell him that I'll allow this to happen so he won't just constantly reject you but actually thinks about you too"

"I still don't understand, why, why are you allowing this" She asked bewildered

"I already answered this… I allow this simply because it's you, if it was anybody else I would have probably caved their face in" I said pretty smugly since I have the ability to actually do it.

Mary Jane's eyelids then started appearing heavier and heavier and she started speaking slower and slower as she said.

"You… are… a… good girlfriend… Peter is… extremely lucky to… have… you" She said as she closes her eyes and goes into rest.

We have a lot of stuff we need to be discussing if we want this relationship to actually work, but before my thoughts delved any deeper Peter sent me a message saying.

"YOU NEED TO SEE THIS WE NEED TO GO QUICKLY"

when I opened the message it was a video of a guy wearing an exoskeleton of a Rhinoceros

"Call the spiders," he said in a thick Russian accent.

"Cause Rhino is taking Charge!" He said while running and smashing his horn into a police car sending it flying towards the bank he was standing in front of with a flick.

"What the fuck is wrong with this city"
