After a few weeks of putting the pieces of the puzzle together... MJ finally discovered the truth. She remembered everything... The Washington Monument, Venice, Prague, Mystery, their first kiss on the Tower Bridge... Peter who confesses to her that he has Spider-Man.

Michelle now remembered everything that had happened before. Peter still wasn't aware that she had finally found the truth...yet he had made a promise to her and to Ned that he was going to fix everything. But he didn't...why? She had to have answers...

Like every Thursday, Parker stopped by for coffee at the bakery. It would be the perfect opportunity for her to have these answers... and it's a good thing because today was Thursday the perfect timing.

Peter then entered the shop, Michelle hastened to join him and take his order. He then just took a latte as usual... While MJ prepared Parker's coffee, the latter watched him very attentively.

He consulted the newspaper, in order to find a job in order to pay the rent of his apartment. He wrote on a notebook the addresses of companies looking for staff... he also wrote down their telephone numbers in order to call them, in order to make an appointment with a manager.

Michelle: There you go, your coffee Peter. She said smiling.

Peter: Oh, thank you very much. He said smiling.

Michelle: Looking for work? She said pointing to the notebook.

Peter: Yes... I need a lot of money to buy me a coffee. He says laughing.

Michelle: Yes. She said laughing.

Peter: Then I also have to pay my rent... so I don't have much choice. I have to find a job very quickly. He said smiling.

Michelle: Yes, I understand. She said smiling.

After a few minutes, Peter left the bakery. MJ hadn't found a way to ask him all those questions...she had to find a way to talk to him about it and fast. But how to go about it... she then searched the net for the name of "Peter Parker" hoping to find his address there...

No trace of him...strange. Strange's spell had also erased it from everywhere, even digital documents? By chance she found a "Benjamin Peter Parker" who lived not far from the city center, in an old, shabby apartment. She will go there after work...

Michelle was angry with Peter, but at the same time happy to have finally been able to gather the great emptiness in her... the first time he was presented here, she had been surprised to see him without knowing why... .maybe simply that the love they feel for each other is stronger, to resist everything even a spell from a powerful wizard.

Parker was lying in bed reading a book, when someone knocked on the door... the latter was very surprised that someone came to disturb him. He got up from his bed while remaining wary... he opened the door. MJ found himself in front of him...

Michelle: Good evening Peter... She said shyly.

Peter: Good... good evening. He said surprised to see her here.

Michelle: Can I come in? I need to talk to you... She asked.

Peter: Yes...yes come in. He said stepping aside to let her in.

MJ entered Peter's apartment, she observed the place carefully. She wondered how Parker came to live in such a dump...everything was in a bad state.

Peter: How did you find me? he asked confused.

Michelle: I searched the net. There's almost no trace of you... the spell worked well, it seems. She says

Peter: So you know everything now? he asked surprised.

Michelle: Yes... She said taking one of Peter's frames where she found a picture of her and him.

Peter: How...how did you do? he asked.

Michelle: I don't know...I felt a big void inside me. But strangely when you were near me at the bakery, I felt good. Then at night I dreamed of you and me... of everything that could have been before all this... before the eclipse. As if my memory wanted me to remember it. she explained.

Peter had tears in his eyes...she was finally 'back' he wasn't alone now.

Michelle: Ned, still can't remember anything though. But I think it's better for you, don't you? she asked dryly.

Peter: MJ... He said before cutting him off.

Michelle: Tell me the truth Peter... if I hadn't collected all those memories. Would you have told me? she asked sadly.

Peter: No... he said with tears in his eyes.

Michelle: You promised... She said sadly.

Peter: When I came a few weeks after all this stuff... I saw you and Ned completely happy to be back at MIT. I didn't mean to ruin it all. he explained.

Michelle: So what? You wanted to move on without Ned? Without me ? Without us ? she asked sadly.

Peter: For your safety yes... He said lowering his head.

Michelle now understood her ex-boyfriend's decision. He didn't want the same fate that May suffered to happen to her or to Ned...

Peter: Well then in a few weeks you will be in Boston. It's the best way to a fresh start. Far from New York, far from me. Away from Spider-Man... He said sadly.

Michelle: Now that I'm in my head, there's no way I'm leaving New York. She said shaking her head from side to side.

Peter: No MJ... you have to go to Boston. You have to live your dream... He said approaching her.

Michelle: I wouldn't leave without you...no way. She said sadly.

Peter: You have to live your life now, meet other people...be happy. He said with tears in his eyes.

Michelle: What? So are you letting me down? That's it ? she asked sadly.

Peter: I'm sorry MJ... He said with tears in his eyes.

Michelle: I love you, and I always will. She said with tears in her eyes.

MJ headed for the door, to open it and leave.. the latter turned around... Peter also turned around, who had remained glued to the spot, when Michelle took the direction of the exit.

Michelle: I'll be waiting for you... can you hear me Peter? I'll wait for you... She said with tears in her eyes.

Peter: Goodbye MJ... He said with tears in his eyes.

The young woman then left Parker's apartment. Once gone, the latter could finally drop all those tears that threatened to flow since earlier. It was for her own good, for her to be safe, for her to have a better life. A life Peter couldn't give her.

END.
