Away From You

AN: Guys, I'm sorry to tell you that what I told you about this chapter including a song from Coldplay is not exactly true. It's all because I was too bored to search the song in Lyrics.com so I picked a pencil and a paper and started listening the music. So I was all happy writing the song in a notebook when I realised something – "I'm Portuguese, I can't do this on my own. Besides this people have strange accents so I don't know what they mean." So, I decided I was not going to put the whole the song here, just a part that as got something to do with this chapter.

Lyrics: "In my place" by Coldplay and "Slipped Away" by Avril Lavigne

In my place, in my place,

Were lines that I couldn't change

I was lost, oh yeah

I was lost, I was lost

Crossed lines I shouldn't have crossed

I was lost, oh yeah

Though they were far away from each other, London and Neverland seemed to be under the same sky. The same cutting wind, the same rain, the same monstrous clouds...

"Tink, what has happened here?" a voice echoed somewhere in Neverland. "Neverland is different."

Oh, if it was different. Neverland was no longer a happy place. It was even darker than darkness itself, it was sadder than sadness itself. It seemed a heart. A heart that was once full of love and happiness. A heart that had been betrayed and was now full of horrible feelings like hate.

The trees that were once tall and full of green leaves were now short and naked. That smiles that seemed to be there somewhere in their trunks had vanished. Instead the trees seemed to make an awful noise, imitating a loud scream of pain. Roses dark as the night, with many sharp spins, had replaced the beautiful flowers that used to be all over the island.

"I don't know" said Tink in her jingle bells language "I guess you'll have to ask that to the mermaids!"

"Tink, can you take me to our hideout?" she said nothing and made her way to the Lost Boys' hideout, with Peter flying behind her.

Then it was it. Neverland was like that because of him.

"You're part of Neverland," had said the Mermaid Queen "Neverland acts in due to the feelings of its inhabitants. But as you were claimed to be the strongest, the chief, your feelings started to have more influence in Neverland. When you left, Neverland was beautiful because you were happy with your life; when you were growing up it was even more beautiful because you were doing something that would be really great to you; when you started realising Wendy didn't love you, you got sad and your heart closed, and Neverland just acted in due to your feelings. Now, Peter, you can't hide your feelings in the place they were born. You can't make your heart a shell. Wendy felt like this during three whole years. She thought you didn't love her. She thought that you had forgotten her. So, she is afraid you're going to leave her if she shows that she still loves you. You are grown now, you can't hide your true feelings."

You didn't see the hate in her eyes, he answered the Mermaid Queen in his mind. She had a hate that I'll never forgot.

He lied here, sitting on his bed while thinking about what he had done. He was confused. He hated Wendy, he wanted to hate her, but in the bottom of his heart he knew he still loved her.

Oh, how lost he was. It was his entire fault. He shouldn't have brought Wendy to Neverland, he shouldn't have spent so much time with her. He shouldn't have let her kiss him. He shouldn't have loved her. He had crossed the love line, a line he had sworn he would never cross.

I miss you

I miss you so bad

I don't forget you

Oh, it's so sad

At the very same time, Wendy lied in her bed too. Her bedroom window was opened and she didn't care if there was rain in her bedroom. She wanted to cry, though she couldn't. She had no tears left.

Though she didn't cry, her heart did. She missed Peter really bad. She cursed herself several times. It was because of her that Peter was in Neverland.

I hope you can hear me

I remember it clearly

The day you slipped away

Was the day I found

It won't be the same

The same her image kept appearing in her mind – Peter saying goodbye to her. She remembered it clearly. She had been stupid that time. She hadn't understood that hew was really going away.

I didn't get around to kiss you

Goodbye on the hand

I wish that I could see you again

I know that I can't

I hope you can hear me

I remember it clearly

She didn't even kiss him one last time. She didn't even say goodbye. Couldn't she see him again, just to say goodbye? Obviously she couldn't, there was no way to do it.

Now you're gone

Now you're gone

There you go

There you go

Somewhere I can't bring you back

Now you're gone

Now you're gone

There you go

There you go

Somewhere you're not coming back

He was gone. He had gone to Neverland. It was like he was dead, because she just couldn't bring him back... and he wouldn't come back.

Her last teardrop ran down her cheek and fell in her bed.

AN: This teardrop is very important for the next chapter. I think that chapter will be the one were we relax a bit. Now, about the song "Slipped Away" (it's the second song) – these isn't the whole song, there are some parts missing. Actually the song was written in memory to Avril's grandpa, so it really doesn't go with the text. Well, I think this chapter really sucks so some reviews wouldn't be bad to me.

Hugs'n'Thimbles,
