Song for this chapter: A Minute Without You- Hanson
You're always on my mind, you're always in my head
And I can't live, I can't live another day without you
When the minutes seem like hours and the hours seem like days
Then a week goes by you know it takes my breath away
All the minutes in the world could never take your place
There's one thousand four hundred, fourty hours in my days.
The trio sat down at three bar stools in the quaint and cozy corner of the nearby coffee shop.
"So," Sarah started, eyes twinkling mischievously, "what's the story?"
Wendy fidgeted in her seat a bit, there was no way she could tell this stranger the truth about Peter Pan.
"What story?" Peter asked, oblivious as usual.
"You're story." said Sarah, rolling her eyes. "I want to know how you two met, how you fell in love, and when the wedding is?"
Wendy started coughing at the mention of a wedding. It wasn't that she didn't want to marry Peter, but it was difficult to think about marriage when they had really only been reunited for one day.
Peter laughed at Wendy's reaction and put his arm around her shoulders.
"Well, we aren't getting umm married anytime soon...but I guess we can tell you how we met?" He looked at Wendy, his eyes begging for answers that he couldn't give.
"Um, well..Peter lived down the street when we were kids." Wendy said, making it up as she went along, "We were best friends, but he had to move away a long time ago. We just ran into each other again yesterday for the first time."
"You only just saw each other again yesterday?" Sarah exclaimed looking very surprised, "Well I guess that proves that true love really can conquer anything. I guess the wedding won't be for a while then."
"Yeah I guess not," Wendy laughed, "So Sarah are there any special guys in your life?"
"Well..." Sarah blushed, "Yeah, I kind of do."
"Kind of?" Wendy pressured, "Excuse my manners, I'm just curious."
"No, its fine, its not official yet. But he's so amazing. He reminds me a lot of your Peter here actually, boyish and kind and hilarious. I'm hoping he'll ask me out soon...but we'll see."
"Oh my goodness! Can we meet him?" Wendy exclaimed, always excited by the prospect of matchmaking.
"Yeah, maybe soon. Not yet...it'd be too awkward to ask him to meet my friends when we're not even dating."
Wendy laughed at this outgoing girl's clear shy side.
Then Peter spoke up.
"I'm sure whoever he is, he'll ask you out soon. He'd be an idiot not to see how much you clearly like him."
That was Peter, always saying the right thing, even when he didn't know he was doing so.
"Well, I for one can't wait to meet this fine young man who has stolen your heart. Oooo! Maybe we can double date!"
Peter and Sarah rolled their eyes at Wendy's bright eyed look.
"Sure, sure, Wendy." Sarah laughed.
Later, all three of the new pals were back in Wendy and Sarah's dorm room.
"So you and Peter have been separated for FIVE years!" Sarah exclaimed.
Sarah was sitting on her bed and Peter was sitting next to Wendy on hers.
"Yeah," Peter grinned, taking Wendy's hand and lacing together their fingers, "It was a long five years for the both of us."
"That's for sure." Wendy remembered sadly, "I think I cried myself to sleep every night."
Pain flashed across Peter's face.
"I'm so sorry Wendy." Peter whispered, stroking her hand.
"It's fine now, that you're here."
"Awww!" Sarah gushed, "You two are so perfect together. What I just can't understand is why your parents didn't let you visit each other, when you so clearly were upset apart."
"Well.." Wendy said, at a loss for words, looking to Peter for help on that one.
"They didn't like me much. They thought she was better off without me, that she'd grow out of missing me. I guess she didn't."
"That's awful!" Sarah exclaimed, "I can't believe your parents can't see what I see. You two so obviously love each other, it's impossible to imagine one without the other."
"Yeah, it was really awful. I just hope they'll accept him now." Wendy sighed, "The truth is, they sent me here hoping I'd get happy again. I guess it worked out, just not the way they planned. I'm so happy to finally get to see Peter again, I love him so much."
"I can really tell, I just hope whenever I get a boyfriend, it'll turn out like you and Peter. You guys are perfect together."
"Don't worry, it will." Peter grinned, "Well I better go, don't want to get caught here and get you two in trouble."
"Do you have to?" Wendy murmured, not wanting to let him out of her sight.
"I do." Peter sighed, getting up.
"I'll walk you over there, then." Wendy followed after him, "See you in a few minutes Sarah."
Peter and Wendy walked next door hand in hand.
When they arrived at the door of his dorm, Peter turned to face Wendy.
"I love you." He whispered to her.
"I love you too." She replied.
Peter leaned down and kissed Wendy softly on the lips.
"Bye." He whispered kissing her one last time before turning to go inside.
Wendy walked back to her dorm room. Before going inside, she turned around into the night. She thought she could see two familiar eyes staring at her through the darkness. But when she blinked, they were gone. A little scared, she hurried inside to go to sleep.
