(That's Thomas👆)
Jenny's POV

"Wow... That's fucking deep." I look at Thomas with a surprised look, he rarely ever curses. I'm so proud. But I can't help but make an immature remark.

"That's what she said." I laugh through my tears. It took him a while until he got the joke. Slow ass.

"Oh my goodness Jenny, that's so wrong!" But he couldn't help but laugh too.

Our laughter died down when we heard footsteps outside of my tent. Then I see Slightly's crooked face pop through the entrance.

"What do you want now?" I yell getting into full out bitch mode. He just rolls his eyes. "Keep rolling your eyes, see if you find a brain back there."

"Ooh shit man! Get roasted!" Thomas laughed throwing his head back. My roast was so strong, Slightly's gonna look like burnt turkey. Okay I officially have no chill.

"I just came to say we have training today and everyone is to come because someone is skipping them." Slightly says clearly annoyed with me.

"Okay then, bye!" I smile at him mockingly and wave. He once again rolls his eyes and leaves the tent muttering a few selective words.

"But really though, I think we should go before we piss Pan off." Thomas stood up getting his weapon.

"Ugh, I'm too lazy! I just want to lay in my bed all day and sleep and forget about the world and all my problems." Every teen has had this thought at least once in their life.

"You can't just sleep your problems away, that's not how life works. You can sleep when you come back." He says pulling me off the bed.

What the fuck are we training for? Are we training for a fight or something? I don't have time for that, I got things to dream about in my sleep.

–At The Training Area–

Jenny's POV

I pull back my arm to aim for the bullseye. Let's hope I make this. I whip my arm forward, letting go of the knife. I watch as it slices through the air and hits right next to the bullseye.

Goddamn it, this is so annoying why can't it just go where I want it to go? This is complete bullshit, Pan must be doing this.

Lately everything that's been happening, I resort to blaming Pan. It is partially his fault since I'm here because I'm lost and the person in my life was taken by none other than Peter Pan.

So yeah, it is his fault. Call me a pessimist, I don't fucking care.

"You're doing it wrong." Slightly sneered. And then there's him.

"Oh okay then, stand in front of the target and let's see if I knife that little shrimp you call a d-" This was the second time I was going to roast him this morning but the asshole himself had to interrupt me.

"Slightly! Less talking more knife throwing!" Pan yelled. I inwardly laugh as Slightly's jaw drops in disbelief and then his face goes red in embarrassment.

After training session was over, the lost boys and I started picking up all the weapons and putting the targets away.

"Jenny, I have a message from Pan." A lost boy named Jeremy said to me. I turn to him then I look at Pan who is across the clearing, meeting my gaze.

"Um okay? What is it." This better be worth my time.

"He says that you should take the day off your laundry duties. A day to relax." Jeremy said.

"And why couldn't he say it himself?" I cross my arms glaring at Pan who is intensely returning the stare.

"He thought if you heard it from someone else, you would listen." I thank Jeremy as he walks away, I stare at Pan one more last time and follow the lost boys back to camp.

–At Camp–

Jenny's POV

I feel like there's something burning on the side of my head? Oh yeah it's Pan who is burning a hole through my head.

Thomas, Kevin, and I are sitting around the campfire watching the some of the lost boys dance dangerously close to the fire.

And Pan had his eyes on me the whole time as he played his pipes. I can hear the enchanting music and I have the very strong desire to get up and let myself go, but I refuse to dance to the music my dad's murderer is making.

"I'm going to bed. Goodnight Kevin." I plant a kiss on Kevin's head and move him off my lap. I wave goodbye to Thomas and head towards my tent.

"Going to bed so early?" Oh look, the life ruiner is here. Oh joy! Note the sarcasm.

"What the fuck do you want Pan?" I say in an irritated tone. He stops smirking and sighs.

"You have every right to be mad at me, I took the person who was basically was holding your whole life together and I made it fall apart. For my selfish needs, but do you know why I wanted you- no needed you?" He said. I didn't know the answer to that. I shook my head no.

He looks away and takes a deep breath before starting again.

"It's because when I first laid my eyes on you, when you first visited the island in your dreams, I couldn't get you out of my head and that confused me, it scared me too. I thought about you every second of everyday, your pearly white smile, the way your eyes twinkled in the moonlight, and your angelic laugh. I felt a very unfamiliar, yet warm feeling in my heart. I didn't know what it was so I went to go see a seer, and she told me that you were my True Love. I knew I had a special connection with you and I didn't plan to let you go, so me being the asshole I am, I get to have what I wanted when my actions caused the one I love so many types of depression for two years. Jenny, I'm very sorry for taking your father's life in order for my selfish needs to be filled, if I had a chance to bring him back I would, just to make you happy even if it means you go back to the land with no magic with him. If your happy, I'm happy." It wasn't until now that I noticed I was in tears and Peter's forehead was against mine. He looked like he was about to cry too.

"If you never talk to me again or forgive me, I'll be heart broken but I'll understand. But I want you to know that I will always love you no matter what you say or do, my feelings will only get stronger." He kisses my forehead and walks away back to the campfire.

Third Person POV

As Jenny watches as her Peter walks away from her, she whispers the words she was longing to say to him for a long time.

"I love you too."
