[Between Peter not showing up and Gwen being Queen of the verbal onslaughts lately, they were both quite a pair in showing the other what they meant to them.
Nonetheless, Peter was holding hard and fast to his guilt because what else is new and coupling that with his somewhat already-crippling fear of girls he likes, the result is he isn't too convinced.
Gwen had made herself pretty clear. So clear, that he almost suspected someone had stolen her phone on that reply.
After a long, awkward lapse (nearly half an hour had passed), he wrote back,]
If you ever need any help, my offer still stands.
[He wouldn't abandon her if she needed anything. If she felt scared or needed a friend from back home.
But thinking about more than that just made him feel anxious, like he could crawl out of his own skin.
Knowing you deserved someone's anger didn't make it any easier, dealing with it.]
