[ If the holoform is connected to Minimus's emotional state with such accuracy, it's no wonder she might cry. Peter wishes he were better at these things, so that he could comfort his new friend properly. As it is, he can only be honest. ]
When we first met, I've got the impression that you like things to be under control, but people are unpredictable, and our feelings hardly make sense to ourselves on a daily basis. Megatron's choices are only his fault, for good or bad, and torturing yourself with 'what if' will only hurt you further.
[ Peter is the last person who would call Magnus out for slipping up on his grammar, much less now that the poor Cybertronian is so clearly troubled. It's good, however, that Minimus is letting it all out instead of bottling his feelings up, even if he might regret it later. ]
That, I cannot tell you. Maybe he was scared that you would not return his feelings. Or maybe Megatron believed that he wasn't deserving of them.
[ As much as Peter loves Gamora, he's had those kinds of thoughts before. She is better than him in a possible way, something other people had reminded him of plenty in the past, and he sometimes wondered if she wouldn't have been happier with someone else.
When the Verity avatar turns to face him, Peter's own eyes are filled with sadness and sympathy. He's no stranger to betrayal, although not of this kind. ]
Then don't talk to him, you don't have to forgive him. Forgive them. You all might need some time, and Megatron certainly needs to work to earn your trust again. I know things are bad now, and you have all the reason to be angry and frustrated, but don't let it harden your heart to life’s other joys.
