Mine

Chapter 1

EDITED: July 6, 2017

Jenny's POV

I listen as the school buses leave signaling the end of the school day. I sit on the stairs in front of the school again, waiting for my mom's idiot boyfriend to pick me up.

My dad died two years ago and my mom and I were devastated... I'm still down about it, but I guess my mom decided to get over it by drinking and opening her legs, and that's how she got a new boyfriend.

You know what? Forget this, I'm walking to the hell hole I live in. A guy can't even drive to pick up a person then come back? How fucking lazy can you be? Gosh, I'm doing him a favor to lose some pounds with his sumo wrestler ass.

As I reach home, the smell of alcohol and cigarettes hit my nose. Ugh, they're such junkies. I drop my bag in the hallway and walk in the kitchen taking a look in the fridge.

Well, what I'm seeing here is everyone's nightmare... No food in the fridge. Sigh. If my mom and Ron, my mom's boyfriend, would get a fucking job maybe this wouldn't be a problem.

I keep searching through the kitchen for food until I hear a loud thump and Ron's cry. Haha that's what he gets for being a dick and being unemployed.

"What the- Jennifer! You little shit! Your stupid bag made me fall! That's it, I've had it! I'm freaking kicking you out of this house, I'm done with your bull!" Ron yelled.

"You can't kick me out! You don't even own this damn house and I'm only 17." This guy needs a reality check, honestly.

I hear stomping of heavy feet coming to the kitchen until I see him, red in the face and his fists clenched, looking at me like he was serious.

"Go pack your damn bags." He starts to walk away then stands in the kitchen doorway and turns his head to look at me. "You better be gone by tomorrow morning."

"You can't do that! My mother won't let you do that. She would never agree to you doing this!" Would she? I mean, we drifted apart the past few years, but she wouldn't just give me up just like that, would she?

"Your mother and I discussed this and we agreed it's time for you to grow up and leave."

I can't believe she would do this to me. She's supposed to be there for me. I can't take this anymore! Why am I even in this world right now? Why me?

I run past him and go upstairs to my room and close the door shut. I walk over to the window and open it. Why am I even trying, he's not gonna come and get me, he's not real, it's all in my head, Peter Pan is not real. But I have to try.

"Okay, Peter if you're listening, well, keep listening, I really need you right now even though you haven't visited me in a long time. But I need you the most because you were my only friend, and I have nowhere else to go, and I really miss you, please Peter."

It felt like I was crying for eternity even though two minutes passed. I felt a slight breeze on my shoulder and I look up to see glowing eyes looking back me.

Peter Pan's shadow.

It looks like Peter listened.
