Standing against a tree, i eat a green apple as i watch Peter talk with Henry and i see him pass him a rolled up piece of parchment.

He gets up and then walks over to me as Henry drops the paper to the floor.

"What was that all about?" I say as he stands next to me as we both look at Henry.

"He's getting there, it will take time, but he will believe that Never land is his home" He says to me

"And when he does?"

"He will keep me alive, the heart of the truest believer, remember?" He says and i nod, keeping my eyes on Henry

"So about that date-"

"I thought you were joking" i say to him as my head snaps to look at him on my right

"Oh, i'm serious" He says

"Ok then, what about it?" i ask him

"How about tonight, at the lake?" He says and i nod "See you there then" He says as he smiles and walks back over to Henry.

After a few hours, i watch as the sun starts to set and most of the lost boys walk over to me to say goodnight, i think that they see me as a Mum, it was quite unnerving, considering that i am only 16 or should i say 124?

I jump as Petr comes up behind me and sits next to me on the log i'm sitting at

"Ready?" He asks

"As i'll ever be" I reply as he smirks and i take his hand, getting up off the log and being lead into the forest.

When we reach the waterfall i look at the moon reflecting into it and i sigh

"What's wrong?" I hear Peter ask me as he sits down and i do the same, following after him

"I miss the sea sometimes" I say to him "It was my home"

"Never lands your home now" He says

"Yes, But the sea will always be where i feel complete" I say as i walk closer to the river side and i put my hand in the cold water.

"If you had the chance would you ever change what happened, the day you came here?" Peter asks me as i sit up again, next to him

"Yes, i would want to come here willingly" I say as i smile sadly "Say goodbye to my Dad... but i guess that can't change and it was a good thing in a way, it made me realize how self centred my Dad really is... i can't trust anyone anymore" I say, honestly

"But you trust me?" He asks and i look to my side, suddenly being face to face with him

"Yeah, yes i do trust you Peter" I say and he leans in and presses his lips to mine.
