i do not own peter pan or the songs in the story i only own Rain/Damin and the idea of the story.


The boy laughed and said

"Yeah, it is me."

"How? When? I thought you weren't coming back and then I thought I made you up."

I saw him smile and I started to tear up. I started to cry as I stood there looking at him. He looked at me and his smile faded and he flew over to me and hugged me and asked what was wrong.

"It's just everyone told me I was crazy that I was a freak and…"

I began to cry harder and hugged him. I then began to laugh, he pulled away from me and I looked up at him and smiled and said, "I'm so glad you're here."

He smiled nodded and told me, "I came back to take you away so you would be happy and not have to worry about anything."

I thought about what he said for a moment. I so badly wanted to go, but I just couldn't yet.

"I can't. Not yet, Peter."

He nodded and asked, "Will you come soon? I want to show you my world."

I nodded and said, "Yes, soon I will go with you." We said our goodbyes and I went back to bed, thoughts of him and vague memories of his stories filling my head.

I woke the next morning happier than ever. I walked downstairs to the kitchen and made some breakfast. Mom walked in and asked why I was so happy and I just told her, "It's nothing to worry about." She smiled and said ok, but I knew she thought something was up. I told her I was off to hang out with Katie and ran out the door and down the street to her house.

"KATIE!"

I ran up the steps to her room after saying hello to her parents. When I got to her room, she held up a light green tank top and gray halter top, a pair of pants and a pair of very short shorts. She asked me what she should wear out today. I told her the pants and tank top.

"Ew, no. That is tacky."

That kind of hurt my feelings because that was what I was wearing, except my tank top was a darker blue. She finally decided on a pair of jeans a red blouse after an hour of looking and then we left. We headed to the mall and when we got there the guy she met last night was waiting on her. He brought a friend with him.

"Hey there, Katie. This is my friend, Jake. I thought your friend would like to have someone to hang with."

"Oh, how sweet of you! You don't mind do you, Rain?"

I looked at him but didn't like the way he was looking at me. I looked at Katie to say something but she glared at me and I shook my head, no. We went into the mall and started to walk around. Katie was laughing at everything Jack was saying, but it wasn't funny. Jake was standing next to me and was not saying a word till Katie asked if we wanted to see a movie. I didn't really feel like going in a dark room with Jake but I nodded anyways. We went to see the new movie, Cars 2. Katie wasn't even watching it. She was to busy sticking her tongue down the guys throat. Jake had put his hand around me, but I moved it away. But he did it again and this time tried to kiss me.

"Back off." I whispered and went back to the movie. He tried again though and I got up and stormed out, annoyed with way Katie was treating me and the way this stupid jerk was coming onto me. Katie followed me and when we got to the hall she asked me what was wrong.

"That guy! He is trying to make a move on me and I don't like it, Katie."

"Oh whatever, Rain! You can't do anything can you? Everything has to be about Rain. If it is about someone else you have to make a scene. It all started when we were little, didn't it? With the whole Peter Pan shit, and you were made fun of. I only became your friend because I felt sorry for you, but now I wish we were never friends! You ruin everything! That's why no one will date you, too, because they think you are crazy."

"What…you are wrong and you know it. I'm sorry I'm not a whore like you. I'm done. We are no longer friends. You can find someone else that will go out with out because I'm no longer going to feel bad about going out with you. So go to hell, because I will no longer save you from the bad guys."

I walked away from her after that and didn't turn back when she called my name, yelling sorry. Once I hit the street I took off running. I couldn't stand it anymore; I wanted to get away from this place. I hated it here and it sucked because I knew she was right. I ran into the house and into my room. I heard a knock on my door and my mother walked in.

"What is wrong dear?"

"I hate it here! I want to leave! I can't stand the people here!"

I began to cry again, I heard my mother move and sit on the side of my bed.

"Honey, I know it's hard but it won't be this way forever."

"NO, YOU DON'T KNOW MOM! YOU TRY TO HIDE EVERYTHING AND MAKE IT OKAY, BUT IT ISNT! YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES A DAY I HEAR. 'OH THERE'S THE CRAZY GIRL,' OR I'M TOLD I ONLY MADE UP THAT STORY AND I DID IT FOR ATTENTION! HE IS REAL, MOM! I SAW HIM LAST NIGHT AND THE NIGHT BEFORE! HE WANTS ME TO GO WITH HIM TO A PLACE OF HAPPINESS AND I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT LEAVING! THE ONLY THING HOLDING ME HERE IS YOU, BECAUSE I LOVE YOU! BUT I CAN'T STAND IT ANYMORE! IT HURTS TOO MUCH TO BE HERE!"

I started to bawl again and mom, despite my yelling, hugged me and said, "I know. I was wrong and he is real, but nothing good will come." Then she walked out. I was so mad at her. She didn't know and it sucked. I fell asleep and only woke when something was tapping on a window outside. I looked and saw Peter outside Wendy's window. I ran out my door and to her room I ran in and saw them all going out the window. Peter stopped and held out his hand.

"Come on, Rain, it is time to go."

Mom ran in and looked at him and gasped and looked at me.

"Rain, where is your sister and brothers?"

"They're going to Neverland, mom."

I looked down, then back at mom.

"I am going too, but I might not come back. They will."

She looked at me and said, "Please come back."

I then grabbed Peter's hand and off we went.

"I can't say I will."

"RAIN!"

"I'm sorry. I can't stand it."

I held his hand tight as I could, I didn't want to let go as I was too afraid I was going to fall if I did or I would wake up if it was a dream. We flew far into the night before Wendy decided to say something about me being there.

"Peter, why did you have to bring my sister? She is an adult, you know."

"Who I bring to my home is not your concern."

I smiled at that and tightened my grip again.

"What's wrong Rain?"

I looked at him and asked

"Am I dreaming? Is this real?"

"Yes, this is real. You're not dreaming. I'm right here. We are going to Nederland where you will never be unhappy again."
