"I guess it's been a long way home" 
Peters eyes laid upon Ned's house, while all of the memories flashed back. 
He recognized the red roof and the aisle of plants leading to the front door.
It hit him hard, the way he left Ned without saying goodbye.
He just disappeared out of his life. 
Peter walked faster feeling the anxiety taking over his body, he was so mad at himself. 
How could he let that happen? 
Leave everyone ? 
A familiar music was filling the street when Peters attention moved away from his ripped shoes. 
There they were, 
Ned Liz and Michelle sitting at a booth at Larbs.
Michelle seemed devastated, she was curled into a ball and a book covered her tearing eyes . 
Ned sat by her, rubbed her back in an attempt of comforting her. 
Liz was sitting in front of them, staring at the menu with red eyes. 
Was it all because of him? 
He wished it wasn't.
"Sometimes you gotta find yourself "
He got closer to the restaurant until he felt himself stop. 
He couldn't come any closer to them . 
What would he say? 
"Hey I'm your friend that abandoned you five mounts ago remember?"
He was afraid, he was shocked, 
Why? 
Because he never said goodbye?
Because he just disappeared? 
Because it was selfish? 
It was selfish trying to save the world? 
He felt his whole body shakes when he cracked the door open making the sound of the bell going through everyone's ears. 
"Guys" Peter whispered feeling tears forming in his eyes. 
They are even better the he remembered them.
The three looked back to see the missing boy from five months ago looking back into their eyes . 
Ned and Liz gasped at the sight while Michelle couldn't believe it. 
It's not possible isn't it? 
She shook herself seeing if she was awake and yet she was. 
Michelle's hair covered her left eye, so now she knew that she wasn't dreaming, All she was seeing was right.
"Peter" Ned cried pulling him into a hug, Ned's soft arms took ahold of Peter, and the hug didn't disappointed.
That is the thing about Neds hugs, they never disappoint. 
As the both pulled away Ned lift up his hand up until it came to touch with peters forehead 
"Ned what are you doing?" Peter chuckled letting a few tears escape his eyes. 
"Just confirming that you are real" Ned replied backing off with a smile, a sight that wasn't seen on Neds face since Peter disappeared. 
"Pete I-" Michelle cried feeling tears stung her eyes. 
But instead of completing the sentence she ran away, 
She couldn't face him any longer. 
If that was still possible, The sad expression that washed peters face was even deeper. 
"That wasn't okay what you did, I think you should talk to her" Liz blurted our giving him a soft smile. 
And yet before she even said goodbye, 
He ran away after Michelle, he ran away in an attempt of finding her, finding himself. 
"Oh it ain't about the looking back, all the tears are gonna make you sad"
Peters feet couldn't carry himself any longer, every step he took was heavy. 
Almost like his heart. 
And then from the distance he spotted Michelle leaning her back on a tree, taking the weight off her feet.
"Michelle" Peter whispered making the brunette turn around. 
she was speechless, he was speechless, they could stare at each other forever if it wasn't Peter that broke the silence. 
"Please talk to me" Peter added making a tear roll down his cheek. 
"I'm not sad it's just overwhelming" Michelle breathed out walking towards him. 
He almost backed away from the fast movement, but yet it was her. 
"Where were you? How could you leave us?" Michelle questioned making him swallow his saliva out of stress. 
"I- it's not about what happened" he replied making her sigh in annoyance. 
He can't just disappear and come back without explanation. 
She deserves an explanation. 
"Peter you leaved all of us, I was worried sick. Every day I thought that maybe just maybe something bad happened to you hell even died. 
and I can't even start with how broken was Ned,
You are his best friend! He was crying his eyes out every day all day! 
And your aunt, May, she called the police every single day because she thought that maybe they will eventually find you! 
Peter you can not just disappear like that without even telling me why!" Michelle screamed at the top of her lungs as she broke down in crying.
He cried too. 
She snapped, and all she was saying, was true. 
That is what hurt him the most, 
The fact that he had the capacity of hurting so many people. 
"I tried doing something that is much bigger then me, I tried to save the world" Peter answered rubbing his eyes slowly. 
"You don't need to try carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, it's to heavy for anyone to do it.
What you can do is make the world being easier to lift. 
Just by little actions it could be easier. 
And I'm always here to help, Okay?" 
Michelle asked softly whilst a tear rolled down her cheek. 
"I understand" Peter replied.
And by one moment all of the warmth of his body collided with hers, as their hands touched. 
And when Peter looked down at their hands he saw a future. 
A future in the hand that she holds.
