“I’m sorry.” It repeated like a mantra in her head. “I’m so, so sorry.” There was nothing she could do. It was done, and he was gone. Forever.
Ben would be so disappointed in her.
“I let our baby boy go.” And yes, maybe it wasn’t her baby boy, but it was. Peter was hers, hers to care for, to watch, to protect. And she’d failed.
May knelt down on the grass. The morning air chilled her to the bone, but what did it matter? Her boy was gone.
Around her, the ground was littered with other survivors. They were all mourning, all broken. Her trio had been ripped apart. First, the love of her life, her soulmate, Ben Parker. And then, her nephew- her son. Peter.
He was gone, in the wind. And he wasn’t coming back.
“I let him die.” She was sobbing. What would Ben say, if he was here? If he could say all the things he was thinking out loud, to her face. He would tell her how disappointed he was in her. How he hated her for letting their son die. And she would take it because she deserved it. She let their baby boy go.
“Be safe!” She remembered telling him. “Don’t get into any trouble!” How could she support that? How could she have just let her child run off every night, and put himself in front of madmen and psychopaths?
She encouraged her baby to get himself killed, and then she’d let him just walk out the door. She didn’t even get to say ‘Love you’. How could she have known that she would never see him again? That that would be the last day she ever had him in her life?
Peter Parker, beloved son, nephew, and friend. And that was it. That was what was left her of her child. Just a small cement plaque with his name on it. But he was so much more than that, words couldn’t capture it if they tried.
May sat, sobbing on the ground. He was gone, and it was all her fault.
