Re: Gwen S/Mary Jane W
It wasn't like that. It wasn't sinister or simple, Gwendy. I'm not a cartoon villain. I had just gotten here. I didn't know where I was. I thought you were all my friends. Then I have to see Harry and he's insane and his dad's dead and he thinks I'm dead—and you, you hate me. Peter's too clueless to understand anything ever and he doesn't even [...] He's not the Peter I know. I couldn't stand the thought of going home and seeing my dad, because I kept thinking maybe he's worse now too. Your boyfriend was the only person nice enough to even think—I wasn't thinking and I know it was selfish. I hurt you. I get it. You need time. Fine. But it wasn't about you or trying to hurt you. I was so [...] overwhelmed. I'm sorry I messed up. Maybe that's your point. I always think about myself. You're not wrong. I'm trying to be okay with you not liking me, with no one liking me, I'm not good at it and I fucked up and I hurt you and I'm really sorry.
