Hi All!

This is the last chapter of Told you I'll be here forever.

Thanks again to everyone who has read and reviewed. I really hope that you like the ending :P

It hadn't taken her long to choose what to wear - she'd spotted the mid thigh length emerald green dress with a lace overlay, a sweetheart neckline the second that she entered the store and had fallen in love with it. Never a big fan of heels and not knowing what Peter had planned she grabbed a pair of silver flats and a matching bag (with the help of her new sales assistant friend Sandy) and 15 minutes later made her way out of the changing rooms.

It had taken her a moment but finally she saw him and her heart leapt in to her throat - she had never seen him look so nervous, or so handsome!

Of course she'd always known Peter was beautiful and it was no secret that she (along with everyone else they knew) thought that at some point the two would end up becoming something more than just friends but she had always thought it would be way, way off in the future. But looking at him now, standing there clutching nervously to her favourite flowers wearing his best clothes with his hair slicked back she found herself wondering if that day was a lot closer than she thought.

She heard a light cough from behind her and startled a little, realising that she had been staring at him for just a little bit too long.

A slight blush creapt across her face as she made her way towards him.

"Hey Peter."

Her voice seemed to startle him a little bit causing him to jump slightly before he turned his attention on to her, his mouth falling open in shock as he slowly looked her up and down.

If Chrissie was blushing beforehand she was practically bright red as he continued staring at her.

A couple of seconds later and he was still staring at her, Chrissie began to play with her hair a little nervously - after all Peter had never stared at her like that before.

Maybe, just maybe she thought he was having the same thoughts that she was having.

A loud cough from behind her broke Peter's gaze and both of them turned to stare at Sandy who had interrupted them, before turning to look at each other again.

This time when Peter looked at her he looked a little more bashful and his eyes stayed entirely on her face, like Chrissie he too had started to blush.

"Erm...S-sorry I didn't mean to...I mean it's just...you look really pretty."

Suddenly his eyes widened in fear and he began to stutter nervously.

"Not that you don't look pretty enough usually...I mean you always look nice...not nice...I mean...Oh God! These are for you!"

Suddenly a bunch of sunflowers were shoved in her face, so quickly that a couple of the petals managed to get in her eyes and the pollen got up her nose.

"Oww Peter!" She screamed in pain jumping away as she rubbed at her eyes before sneezing violently.

"Oh God Chrissie I'm so sorry!"

Behind her she could hear Sandy snickering slightly but she was in too much pain to care and any noise was quickly drowned out by Peter's high pitched apologies as he hovered around her trying to help.

After a minute or so the pain passed but Peter didn't stop apologising.

Once Chrissie was able to open her eyes and see properly the complete look of devastation on Peter's face was enough for her to not be mad at him.

After all it had been an accident and how could she blame him for being his adorable clumsy self!

"I'm so sorry Chrissie I didn't mean to I just-"

She waved him off.

"Don't worry about it Peter. I'm ok now and I know you didn't mean to. You were just a little excited that's all."

"But-"

"So feel like explaining to me why we're all dressed up standing in the women's department at Macy's on a Saturday morning with no where to go?"

Peter halted for a moment and Chrissie could see it in his eyes that he wanted to continue apologising but he stopped himself, taking her hint to change the subject as much as he may still feel like he needed to apologise.

"Well after you left this morning without telling me-"

Chrissie winced, feeling a little guilty that Peter had seen that.

"I realised that you were having second thoughts about how sorry I was so started to think of what was the best way to show you how serious I am. I know it doesn't make up for everything but I did promise you we'd spend the weekend together so thought what would be the best way to try and say sorry while also making this one of the best weekends ever. It took me a minute, at first I thought about the Empire State building, you're always talking about it-"

Peter was so caught up in his nervous ramblings that he didn't see the startled look in her eyes or the blush starting to creep up Chrissie's face.

"But then I realised that with the storm and everything visibility wouldn't be the best. Then I remembered. You always said that you were going to save up to go see The Lion King in style,sitting in the best seats in the house. But then you used the money you saved on Lottie... so I asked Mr Stark if he would help out and he said yes."

Chrissie was so excited that she squealed and threw her arms around Peter hugging him tightly.

Peter stiffened in her arms for a moment, a little shocked at her reaction before sighing deeply with relief and wrapping his arms just as tightly around her, resting his head on top of hers and closing his eyes.

"You aren't mad that I asked Mr Stark to help with this?" Peter murmured, a little concerned that she would be angry that he'd gone to Mr Stark about all this, given how pissed she was at him over the whole internship situation.

Hell even Peter hadn't really wanted to, still a little angry at the billionaire for his complete 180 over Chrissie and the internship. But he knew he would have to do something big to show her that he was sorry and there was no way that he could afford it himself.

Besides Mr Stark had told him that he would do whatever he could to help make things right with Chrissie. Something like this was nothing to him - in fact Happy insisted no expense was to be spared in order to make this weekend special for Chrissie - Mr Stark's orders he had said before Peter had even fully told him what the plan was.

Peter had been a little startled that Mr Stark would be willing to do so much for two teenagers he barely knew but if this even went a small way to getting him back in to Chrissie's good books he didn't care.

But if she got pissed at him for getting Mr Stark even more involved in their lives than he already was, well that was a different story.

"I couldn't give a damn about Tony Stark right now I'm so excited."

Peter sighed with relief and hugged her closer.

"I know that this doesn't make up for everything and that I have a long way to go-"

"But it's a start."

Peter nodded a massive grin spreading across his face at the happiness he heard in her voice.

It gave him hope.

"Come on." He said pulling away from the hug and grabbing her hand before she could protest at the lack of contact.

"What-"

"We've got tickets for the matinee followed by dinner - Mr Stark says we can pick any resturant we want and he'll make sure we get the best table in the house."

She raised an eyebrow at him.

"Wow all all expenses paid shopping trip followed by theatre and a fancy dinner in The City. Mr Stark really is pushing the boat out on this one isn't he?"

"Well he feels sorry for what has happened - we both do."

The sadness in his voice was enough for Chrissie to squeeze his hand a little.

"I know. Thank you for this Peter. It's nice to have my friend back again."

"Yeah I know what you mean."

The two of them stared at each other for a moment again before Chrissie grinned and pulled him out of the store chattered excitedly about how wonderful today was going to be.

Despite the fact he was being dragged through the streets of Manhattan by his friend who was speaking so quickly he could barely understand what was going on Peter could barely keep the grin off his face.

He was getting his best friend back and now that he knew what it was like to be without her he was never going to let her go.

So that's it for this story!

I hope you enjoyed it and thank you again for reading :)

The next story in this series will be "Now that it's raining more than ever".

I am still writing it so it may be a while but there will definitely be more to come :)
