— Grief had taken over the young woman's life and she was left to mostly suffer through it all by herself. For the first year following her mother's death, Christina Johnson had attempted to close herself off from the ones she cared about. There would be countless nights of her waking up screaming from a nightmare, and they would always be the same scenario. The mask of the Green Goblin haunted her every single night, especially after finding out about him being her mother's murderer. She would also have many angry outbursts that would end with her either screeching hysterically of punching holes into walls.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU CRAZY BITCH!" That was the sentence she would always hear from her neighbors in the middle of the night.

Sometimes, however, her nights would end with her drowning her agony and sorrows with alcohol and taking prescriptions to help her sleep it off.

Regardless of this, after seeing her parents — especially her father — were treating Christina like utter shit, the woman's little sister, Sidney, decided to temporarily move in with her to help out with her pain and to get away from her own home. And, for a while, she really did start to help Christina recover from her problems and she grew happier than she was before.

Another person that would often step in to look out for the woman was none other than Peter Parker, the man Christina had been friends with for almost her entire life.

He always ended up staying several nights with her at a time in order to make her feel safe and comforted because constant paranoia also plagued her subconscious at night. He even encouraged her to slowly wean off of the medication, or to stop taking so much at a time and only when she was supposed to.

August of 2004 rolls around, a year and nine months since Margaret Johnson's death.

Christina has seemingly gotten her life back together and she's mostly in control of herself now, and she's the happiest she's been in several months. She is still pursuing her dream career of being a social worker and she's the closest she's ever been to achieving that goal, but she still works at the Daily Bugle to make some extra cash to pay her bills from time to time. She's anticipating her little sister's twelfth birthday, and she's slightly hopeful of her future.

But then she, once again, becomes involved in horrifically dangerous antics with Spider-Man when another supervillain is created; Otto Octavius seems like a very kind scientist with a great life but, once that is ripped apart in front of Christina, Peter, and Harry Osborn, their lives become chaotic once more.

Christina Johnson's life begins to spiral out of control again and she starts to lose all faith in the future; the nightmares grow more severe and vivid, her tendency to drink her troubles away becomes much stronger than usual, and she's finding it even more difficult to keep her quickly blossoming feelings for Peter on the back burner, since she's terrified to let him in and know that she's not getting better.

But, once something major is revealed to her, everything slowly begins to make sense... but she's afraid that it may be too late to even realize that....

if anyone would like to listen to the whole playlist on youtube, pm me and i will provide a link since it's an unlisted playlist! there is no spotify playlist since most of the music isn't on there!

A/N: so, part two of this book takes place during the entirety of Spider-Man 2 and follows the events of that film! despite this, some scenes will be played out differently than how the movie did them! now, the second movie is my favorite film like... EVER. so the scenes that are accurate to the film will have every single detail described because i care so much about spider-man 2 as a film!

now, with me saying this, there are scenes taken directly from the movie but they're complete novelizations of what happens in those scenes. this is because i want a few chapters to focus on peter and peter only with his adventures as Spider-Man. so a lot of iconic and amazing scenes will be copied and pasted into here but in my own writing style! i hope that's okay with all of you!

that being said, part two will be mostly about christina and sidney and their lives, specifically christina's miserable life!

disclaimer: some scenes from the movie will be switched up a bit as to the motives of the characters. like, there are scenes with peter and mary jane where it's just them but here's the thing: THEY DO NOT HAVE FEELINGS FOR EACH OTHER HERE! THEY ARE JUST FRIENDS! there is no love triangle in this book whatsoever! personally, i despise love triangles, so that's why! also, mary jane's character is changed quite a bit so she's more of a badass than she was in the films and to where she's more selfless. that and there are more differences from the films that will be obvious once we get to them!

warning: this part of the book contains extremely sensitive topics such as severe gore and violence towards the end, drug addiction, alcohol addiction, depression, grief, PTSD, nightmares, panic attacks, character deaths, suicidal thoughts and even attempted suicide at one point. if you still wish to read, PLEASE proceed with caution! i will do my best to handle these themes in a mature and respectful way as i, myself, have been through depression and PTSD in the past. i will give trigger warnings at the beginning of any chapter that contains these themes!

that being said, this book also contains very funny and lighthearted moments to lighten up the sad parts! there are also EXTREMELY adorable scenes between christina and peter when it comes to their romance so be looking forward to that!

now i will personally warn the readers! if ANY of you even attempt to shit on christina for the valid emotions she feels throughout part two and say stuff like, "wHy ArE yOu CrYiNg??? iT's NoT a BiG dEaL!!" i will not handle that well! she is depressed and traumatized! she is allowed to cry and be upset or angry! so be warned!

now, with all of that out of the way, be looking forward to the first chapter of Part Two of this book!
