Gwen tilted her head at Darcy, confused, " don't understand. How can you be in the movie but not in the comics? Did they add you in?" She shook her head at Darcy. She wouldn't force someone to watch their portrayal. It felt wrong and mean of Gwen to even consider it. "No, no I won't make you do that. It's fine. But, Jane doesn't know? Does she at least know something exists? You might need to be the one to tell her."
She nodded at Darcy and was feeling a little better with every moment. Gwen would be eternally grateful to have Darcy as her roommate. The girl had perspective and it definitely made things easier. "Yes. I'm on eighteen. My birthday isn't for another three months even. So much can change between now and when I'm supposedly gonna die." At the mention of her and Peter, Gwen immediately got nervous, "No, please don't think that right now. I want it to be clear to everything in existence that I don't want him to break up with Kitty. I'm not even saying that to be nice. I don't want things to change, I just want to at some point get to where I can just calmly live from day to day here with friends and work, and have that be it. And who knows. I could get sent back tomorrow, or next week my own version of a Pop-tart loving alien thingy from another universe will show up and change my desire for routine and normalcy. Or some random pirate will show up. I don't know. I don't want to be that ex. I just told the truth and now with that finally out there I'm hoping we can find a way to move on. Him and Kitty go one way, and me and my life go the other. Done."
Gwen leaned back in the sofa, hoping Darcy didn't judge her or think that she was that ex. Gwen would have felt worse if she had kept everything a secret from Peter. Not to mention have to keep avoiding him the way she was. She knew it'd eventually blow up on her. By having everything out there, Gwen hoped maybe they could start over. Maybe not as friends like Peter had hoped, but instead just people who could coexist in one place.
"Thanks for being there Darcy. And obviously same for you if you ever need anything, I'm here." Gwen returned to her ice cream as she listened to Darcy explain Jack. She made a face at the thought of Jack, "Sounds like he can't even decide what he wants. Maybe just don't force anything, like you're doing, and see what happens?"
Gwen looked over at the movie pile and shrugged, "I don't know." Gwen liked them all and couldn't decide which to start with. So she closed her eyes and put her hand on a random movie. She opened them and held it up, "I guess, how about Stardust? Have you seen it?"
