章節 11: Chapter 11: What Once Was
Hello readers, as English isn't my first language, it may contain many grammar issues. That's why I will be using Grammarly. The sponsor of today's vid...
Still, if you find any incorrect grammar or punctuation inside this fanfic, it would be awesome if you would write a correction in the paragraph comments.
'...' : thought
"..." : talking
/...\ : something is written
[...]: place/time
{...} : talking per phone/PC/tv
>...< : sound
(...) : the all mighty me ᕕ( ಠ‿ಠ)ᕗ
Without further ado, let's begin the Story!

[1pm | Parker House | Peter's POV]
"Hey, Gwen!" I said, talking into the phone with an awkward voice.
{"Hello Peter! How are you doing?"} Gwen asked exited
"Good... good. And you?" I answered untruthfully.
{"I am doing good too! So, Why are you calling?" } She asked doubting my intentions.
"I ehm- I wanted to ask when the tour through Oscorp is again." I asked, struggling to get the words out of my mouth.
{"Ahh... It is next week."} She responded with a disheartened tone.
"Thanks!... So what are you up to?" I wanted to inquire to make the situation less awkward.
{I... I was on my way to Oscorp. You know the internship and all. And you?} She responded, most likely wanting the same thing as me.
"Peter!" I heard Aunt May yell from downstairs.
"Oh... Gotta go, Aunt May is calling!"I said hurriedly, internally thankful that Aunt May was calling me.
{"OK! See you next week then?} She replied, her voice dripping with relief.
"Yes!" I answered quickly before hanging off.
'When did we get so awkward?' I questioned myself while making my way down.

[Same time | The Stacy Apartment | Gwen'S POV]
>sigh< 'When did we get so awkward?' I asked myself while I sighed.
I look out the window before making my way out of my room, looking at the band picture from middle school.
"Where is he?" I heard my dad say as I made my way into the kitchen.
'Spider-Man again?' I thought as I moved to the freezer and grabbed the leftovers from yesterday evening, putting them in the microwave before sitting down.
'The flowers have withered again.' I noticed as I waited for my food to finish.
'Flowers...'

'Okay, okay, okay! You got this Gwen! You just gonna walk in there and give him the flowers! Should be easy, shouldn't it?' I pep-talked myself as I ran in circles before the backstage door.
'I am just gonna do it and then run away!' I thought trying to come up with a solution that would solve my fear.
"Just do it!" I shouted as I opened the door with closed eyes.
"Peter will yo-" I was about to complete my confession and opened my eyes to see his reaction, only to see him kissing Mary Jane.
"Gwen!" He shouted with surprise as he tried to separate himself from her and looked at me.
"It is not wha-"
"Could we have some privacy?~" Breaking into his sentence, Mary Jane asked me with a playful voice while grinning from ear to ear.
"Right... I- I should go..." I started going out of the room, feeling tears building in my eyes.
The further I got away from them, the faster I ran, stopping only when I reached the toilet.
'I thought there was a spark between us... I was just being stupid, wasn't I?' I belitted myself for thinking that there was more between me and Peter.

[Back to the present]
After that, I slowly distanced myself, wanting him to be happy, but always hurting when I saw that he was happy with someone that wasn't me. I broke contact with him when Mary Jane died thinking that I didn't deserve him.
'After all... Her death is m-' >bep< >bep<
Being brought out of my thoughts by the sound of the microwave, I looked at the flowers and saw tears building in my eyes in the window behind it.
"Oh, Sweety! I didn't notice you there! You were way too quiet! Maybe you should become a thief... NOT!" My dad, noticing tears building in my eyes tried to cheer me up with his weird humor.
>chuckles< Getting a little chuckle out of me, he sat down opposite to me and took my hand in his.
"Look Sweety I know things weren't easy for us since your mother died, but if there is something that is bugging you just tell me, okay?" He said warmly while giving me a hug over the table.
"No, it's nothing. Just my period acting up!" I joked happily after wiping away my tears, being happy that I was blessed with such a dad.
"Wha- Ehmm... Shou- Should I call your Aunt?!" He wailed out in a worried and flustered tone.
"Hahaha! Nono, I am all good now." I responded in an amused tone.
"Phew!" My dad let out a breath of relief as he wiped his forehead with his arm.

[5pm | Oscorp | Norman's POV]
"Good, he took the bait." I said calmly, as I looked at the website and saw that the unknown IP address matched the one of the Parker House.
"Now, what do we do sir?" Nels asked me.
"We wait till he comes here for further information. You can go now to prepare the rest!" I answered his question and ordered him to finish his task.
"Will do sir!" He responded, bowing a little before turning around and walking away.
'It feels like it was just yesterday that I held you in my arms.' I thought as I opened a picture of me, my wife, and my son sitting on a grass field, having a picnic under the shade of a tree, on the table display.

"Dad! Put me down I can walk myself!" >huff< Little Harry complained wanting to be let down.
"How about... NO!" >giggle< I responded as I sped up, making him giggle.
"Darling! Sweety! Come sit down!" I heard my wife yell, making me stop to put little Harry down. My wife has brown hair and beautiful brown eyes.
(picture here:)
"So... what do you want to eat?" My wife asked our son as she presented the picnic corp filled with different foods, all looking delicious.
"I want whatever dad is eating!" Little Harry shouted as he put his hands around my arm.
"Looks like he chose his favorite parent, Cupcake~" I said to my wife in a playful tone. Making her put on an exaggerated sad face.
"Really Swetty Pie... don't you love your mother?" She asked our son while making puppy eyes.
"I- I love mommy too! Mommy is the best!" Little Harry yelped while waving his hands hastily.
"Look at that Bobo Bear! our dear son says I am his favorite~" My wife said playfully while having a charming smirk on her beautiful face.
"Well, to me it seems like someone cheated Honey~" I answered just as playfully before kissing her.
"BAH! I will never kiss anybody if that is how I have to act!" Our son shouted as he started to eat.
"Hahaha" "Hahaha" His action made my wife and me look at each other before we started to laugh.

[Back in the present]
I wished that that could go on forever. But my wife died at the start of the next year because she was kidnapped, by a competing company that was threatened by Oscorp's success. Afterward, I pretended to hate our son to protect him from the hands of these greedy people.
'It didn't save him from the hands of someone else!' I thought while clenching my fist under the table.
'Just you wait Spider-Man! My plan has only begun!'
