-WENDY-

I felt myself slowly start to awaken. I didn't want to. I didn't want to face the world. All I wanted to do was sleep, it was comforting, safe. Nothing could happen to you in the safety of sleep, nothing could worry you, bother you, hurt you-well at least in your dreams. I kept my eyes closed as my mind reached full consciousness. I rolled over onto…nothing. I fell onto the cold floor.

This defiantly didn't fell like my room. I blinked. The room was in the in-between stage where it was almost morning and the sun wasn't visible, yet the sky was beginning to lighten. There was empty bunk-beds on all sides of me. They had a thick black frame and sheets that, at one point, were white. The whole room looked abandoned, as if no one had taken a step in the room for years.

Where was I? The first rational thought I had. Then fear solidified as I tried to recollect the events leading up to this. Peter…the alley…I got sick….Then nothing. I could remember what happened after I saw Peter's face. Would he really just leave me in the alley? Part of me thought yes, the other part, which greatly dominated the latter screamed no.

Don't get your hopes up, you saw the way he looked at you. I picked myself up off the ground. The room wasn't completely empty. I noticed three beds that were occupied. Where was I? It felt like prison. Someone stirred outside the door, and I jumped. I quickly crawled back into the bed which I rolled out of.

The door opened right as I closed my eyes.

"Hey, Wendy, get up."

The voice was familiar, like a distant memory, or someone I had dreamed of. I opened my eyes. My heart skipped a beat. I felt cold.

"Don't get too excited to see me." Tinker Bell said, almost laughing. I numbly rolled out of bed and she tossed me a bundle of clothes.

"Can you shower? I mean, you feel alright, right? You're not going to vomit all over the bathroom? I'm on rotation for cleaning it so-"

"Y-yes. I can handle it. Thank you."

"Come."

I followed her out the room in silence. My whole body ached, how could I just feel it now? She stopped suddenly and taking my arm shoved me into a small room, which I soon realized was the bathroom. She started the water and dropped a towel on the floor. "Hurry up I need to shower too." She said sitting on a small chair. I just looked at her. Every muscle and body of my body seemed like it was going to give out, or disintegrate any second.

"What? Oh, do you want me to close my eyes? Fine, just hurry." She said sighing and grumbled something about rich people.

I cleaned myself as fast as I could and tried to get out of Tinker Bell's way. The clothes she had given me were small for me. The simple white dress was too short and showed much more leg then I was used to. Also the top was too tight and very low cut then the dresses I was used to. I just need to get home…

-PETER—

I woke up to a pillow lying across my face. I was about to put it back under my head when I noticed that my pillow was there.

"Yeah, sorry, you can't keep that."

I sat up and blinked as my eyes adjusted to the light of the room. I groaned as I saw the huge smile on William's face as he looked at me across the room. "What's your problem?" I asked, irritated, and flung the pillow at him. He caught it and tossed it on the bed with ease and turned back the his unmade bed to finish dressing. "Oh nothing really, just you know, talking in your sleep." He said with a small chuckle.

I felt my face get hot, and I prayed that it wasn't turning red. "Again." He said turning around to catch a glance at my facial expression. "Wait, again!?" I asked, grabbing the top of the bunk and quickly swinging myself out of the bed.

"How long have I…" I trailed off as I tried to make sense of all the thoughts I suddenly had, "What have I been saying?"

There was a tinkle in his eye. I could tell that he was enjoying this. "William." I said sternly. He smiled faded a bit. "Forever. Ever since I moved in here, anyway. And you don't say much." He said and slid a white shirt over his head. I sat down on the bed. What was I supposed to think? My dreams have been broadcasted to the whole London boy's orphanage for years. "Of the little that I do say-"

"Do me favor, James."

I turned towards him, "What?" I asked, wondering what he ever needed from me.

"Marry Wendy, when you get out of this place- heck, do it before-I don't care, as long as you do."

"Excuse me?"

"I know what love is, James, and you have it." He said, looking at me, no smile, no twinkle. I could tell he was being serious. He turned back to the bed, "Even if you don't admit it to your conscious self." He added. "Now please, go get ready!" He said and shoved me off the end of his bed.

I stumbled over to my bed and grabbed some clothes from under it and headed to the bathroom. Steam rolled out of the room and added a layer on the mirrors. Stop wasting the hot water, you're not the only boy in this place!" I scolded, to whoever it was. "No, but I thought I was the last." A small boy replied, "Sorry." My mood lightened a bit, "It's okay, kid. You knew here?" I asked as I doused my face in water. "Just yesterday." He piped from behind me. "Right…well make sure you look good at all times, better chance of getting adopted." I said turning towards him, and when I finally saw his face my heart nearly stopped. The only thing I could do was stare at the thin, lanky boy who stood before me.

He looked uncomfortable, "Um, what's your name."

"What!?"

He couldn't have forgotten me. It's only been a few years, I surely haven't changed that much. "You don't know who I am?" I asked in disbelief. He looked very confused, and his face reflected something close to fright. "Sorry," I said trying to back off, "You look like someone I used to know." I said grabbing for the door, and taking one last glance at him before I left. It was definitely him.


Okay, so I was writting this and I wasn't really paying attention, the way I usaully write, and soon enough I had five pages in there. So I don't know if this was a good place to stop or not, but I didn't want you guys to read five pages all at once, it just felt like too much, so I will post the rest of it soon, when I have it all reviewed and such
