"Having fun? So much fun you only can have if you think about me," Jack teased, grinning so wide that I for a moment thought his face would break.

Luckily it didn't.

"No, of course not!" I lied, trying not to blush. Fortunately my hair covered my burning cheeks as I soared trough my bedroom.

Jack just smiled wider - if possible - at this.

"So," I started after I landed, "what now?"

Jack laughed at my excitement. I guess that's because my face lit with childish enthusiasm, which I knew he himself had a lot off.

"We're leaving."

Suddenly that sentence sounded sad, mean and selfish. I was sad because of my parents, mean because I just left, and selfish for only caring about my own needs - like not going to a boarding school without my books and karate.

Yes, that's right. No karate.

What an awful school that must be. What do the students do on their time off? Read schoolbooks? Stare at the nothingness surrounding them - drowning them?

Not exactly a life for me.

But then again, what was?

He reached his hand towards me, a silent question of me joining him. He didn't demand it, he asked if I wanted to, without words.

It is funny, the way he either says the wrong things unintentionally by talking to much, or ask questions by not uttering a single word. He switched so fast between using them to much - which I didn't really mind - and not using them at all - which I didn't mind either, because his presence was good enough for me, I didn't need more to calm me down.

I stared at his outstretched hand for a moment.

I was positive that he wouldn't force me to come, but luckily he didn't need to.

I had made up my mind, a long tim ago actually. I just hadn't fully realized it, but this was one of my dreams, and this was my opportunity to follow it. It might me my only chance to live the life of my dreams, the one that contained so much fantasy that it should me illegal.

My hand touched his, and they closed around eachother. Slowly we walked to the window, and I couldn't stop thinking of how small i felt next to him. Sure, he was just a little less than a head taller than me, but the proud and carefree way he walked made him look taller, somehow.

Not quite sure if that made any sense, but that is how it was.

We made it to the window in a matter of seconds, which I spent thinking. Thoughts kept breaking trough the barrier I rebuilt over and over again around me brain, but still the thoughts managed to sneak its way to it.

It was rather annoying, but suddenly my head was no longer occupied by annoying thoughts, because they were replaced with some a little frightened ones.

Yes, I admit it. I was a little scared. But, come on. Who would expect me not to be scared of flying to an unknown place with someone you barely have exchanged a few sentences with?

Don't get me wrong, Jack wasn't the problem. He actually helped me more than I would ever admit, just by being there. Like I said before, there is something comforting about the boy, something that makes your body get rid of any unpleasant feelings you may have.

I stood still on the edge of the window, gazing at the stars for a few seconds. I wanted to remember what they looked like from here, so I could see the difference between looking from here and in Neverland.

"Ready?" Jack asked, smiling at me.

I just nodded my silent answer.

I was ready.

"Remember, happy thoughts."

I took a deep breath, and then stepped into the air. For a second I was falling, but then I stopped in the midair when I let the happy thoughts enter my head. They lifted me up, helped supporting me as i flew.

I smiled widely, looking to my left for Jack. The happiness faded into a confused frown when I didn't spot him, but laughter from above me made the grin come back. I let my eyes wander towards the sky, and about three meters over my head was Jack, smiling even broader than me.

"Grab my hand!" he said.

I did so. He started picking up an incredible speed, flying towards the star he had been talking about. I wanted to scream in both joy and fright, but the fright faded because of Jack. I didn't manage to scream in joy either, because the wind was so strong I had problems even having my eyes open.

I have been thought in school that stars were really far away from earth, but somehow we made it there in a few minutes. The light just grew stronger, until it surrounded us completely.

I closed my eyes quickly, and when I opened them the light was a wee bit weaker. It suddenly split into many other colors - some of them were familiar, while I had never seen a few.

This time I closed my eyes just to blink, but when they looked for the lights again, they were gone.

Replaced with Neverland.

I know this chapter was short, but it is supposed to be. Sorry for the long waiting, but I haven't had the time. I'll try to post the next chapter soon!
Love, Riverflower.
