It’s amazing how one minute you know exactly where you are in life. How you see your life going, and then suddenly. It all changes. The crazy thing is, you know you can stop it. Walk away and continue on your original path. But you don’t. This new path seems more exciting. At least, that’s the path I picked. Though, it wasn’t without consequences. I lost friends along the way, but gained more than I could have ever imagined. I don’t come from a great home. Both my parents are dead, and the rest of my family is shit. I doubt they even know I’m here. Or even care for that matter.
When I came here, everything seemed laid out. I found an awesome band to play with and I had an okay job that paid the bills. What else was there to life? My life sucked. It had no meaning, no drive. I was on auto pilot. That is until I joined the net and meet Kitty. She basically turned my world inside out and upside down. And then he came into my life. He was cute, and I had this feeling about him. So much so I dreamed about him, just to learn my dreams meant so much more. It was a life I knew I was meant to have.
Than things started to appear. First the suit. I was so proud of it. I showed Kitty and she took me on my first patrol. I was living out my dreams. Literally. But with the good comes the bad, and the bad was horrible. He hated…No, he hates me. I never did anything to him and he hates me. Friends in my dreams hate me and try to kill me. And then I woke up to that picture on my phone. I even printed it out and have it on my dresser… I don’t know why… Maybe as a reminder of something I’m not supposed to have?
So I’ve kept my distance from him. It’s better this way, but on top of that I have to recover from a bullet wound from the other night at one of the bands performances. The only one I actually participate in; I end up getting shot at. Seems everyone is trying to kill me. Well, I’m not sure if this counts since I don’t know if the person was targeting me or just being a dick. Our music’s not that bad. It’s horrible, because being stuck in this apartment with my thoughts and that fucking picture don’t make me feel any better. Hopefully my friends are having a better week than I am. Because this is just not being my month lately. But then again, this is the price I get for taking on the role I choose.
I am… Spider- Gwen. And with great power comes great responsibility. So despite what happens to me, I have to see this new life through, and protect those that I love. Even if they don’t want me too.
