We are the lost
The ones forgotten
And this time
The future is ours
It's in our hands

Gasping, Slightly sat up in his bed, eyes, darting around, looking for the hands he thought would still be there. Another dream, he thought. Another dream, about before Neverland, before he even knew a place so wondrous could exist, before he was Slightly. When he was Christopher...

We're the tear in your eyes
We're the blood in your veins
We're the beat of your hearts

flashback

"Stupid! Why are you so fucking dumb?!" his father yelled, throwing him to the wall. His head thudded off the dresser, before his frail body fell to the ground. "Can't you do one thing right?" A kick. "Come on! Aren't you going to defend yourself? Or are you too much of a pansy to even do that?!" Another kick.

We're the sweat on your face
We're the ones that you chase
We're the promise that you made
We're the voice in your head
We're the lies that you said
We're the kids that you pushed away
We are...

"Stop! Leave him alone! He's just a kid!" cried his mother, running towards him. Smack. Christopher saw her collapse to the floor, her lip bleeding, and a bruise forming. "Mind your own business! It's the boy's fault, so stay out of it!" His father stormed to her, and gripped her arm harshly. "What the fuck did I tell you?" He dragged her around the corner. Christopher's eyes widened and he struggled to get up, when he heard her screams from another room, echoing through the house. He gasped and looked up, startled, when a crash sounded, and the screams, suddenly stopped. Frighteningly, that scared him more than when they had started.

We are the lost
The ones forgotten
And this time
The future is ours
It's in our hands
We are one

His father rounded the corner, then roared, and stormed to him when he saw Christopher on his knees. Wham! And he was dealt a punch to the face. "Where do you think you're going? Where the fuck do you think you're going, huh boy?" Christopher shuddered, holding the side of his face, when a throbbing had begun. His eyes darted around, searching for something to help him, when he noticed the door, within running distance from where he was sprawled halfway on the floor, halfway leaning against the wall.

We're the pride of your lives
We're the light shining deep in your eyes
We're the choice that you made
We're the smile on your face
When you sleep at night

He scrambled to his feet, and lunged for the doorway, as fast as his tired body could, which wasn't fast enough. His father jerked, and grabbed him around the throat, before slamming him to the wall, holding him there. "What the hell!" He looked towards the door. "You want to leave? Are we not good enough for you now? Think you're big shit or something? Think you're better than me?" Christopher flailed, grasping at his father's hands, tying to alleviate the burning pain from around his throat.

We're the best thing you had
But you left us behind
We're the kids that you pushed away
We are...

"Fine! Let's see how long you last out there, before you come crawling back! When you see how good you had it!" and with that, his father stalked forward, wrenched open the door, and flung Christopher outside, onto the cold, January snowfall.

We are the lost
The ones forgotten
And this time
The future is ours
It's in our hands
We are one (one)

Christopher looked up, as his father glared, and slammed the door shut. His eyes widened as he heard the lock bolt shut. He rushed to the door, tugging at the handle, crying out for his father to open the door. He fell to the stoop, shivering in his torn shirt and pants, wishing and hoping his father would have a sudden change of heart, and fling open the door, pulling Christopher inside, apologizing for being a bad father, and telling him what a good boy he was, and how proud he was... But it never came.

We're the pain that you feel
We're the scars that don't heal
We're the tear in your eyes
We're the reason you cry

We're the voice in your head
We're the lies that you said
We're the best thing you had
But you pushed us away

"Slightly?", Nibs' voice broke him out of his remembrance. "Slightly, what's wrong?" Slightly turned to the boy next to him, as Nibs ran his fingers under his eyes, wiping away tears. "What's wrong?" came Nibs' worried voice. "Nothing." Slightly grasped one of his hands, "just a dream."

We are the lost
The ones forgotten
And this time
The future is ours
It's in our hands
We are

"Are you sure? You were scaring me." Nibs scooted closer to him. "You can tell me. You don't need to be scared anymore. I'm here." Slightly sighed, then tiredly smiled. "Yeah. Yeah I'm fine. Let's go back to sleep. I'm tired," and laid down on the bad. Nibs looked down at him, obviously concerned, but complied, laid back down next to him. "If you have another dream, just wake me up. Alright?" Slightly nodded and pulled Nibs closer, tucking the smaller boy's head under his chin. "Alright. But I think I'll be fine now." And with that, he pressed a kiss to Nibs' forehead, and both boys drifted into sleep, huddled to each other's warmth, in the cool Neverland breeze.

we are the lost
The ones forgotten
And we've got nothing to lose
Together we stand up tall
We are one
