Good afternoon, at least it's the afternoon where I live, and welcome back for our fourteenth chapter. I hope you enjoy the chapter please R&R and I'll see you at the bottom of the page.

Disclaimer: I do not own Peter Pan

I skip dinner not really feeling that hungry and no one comes to bother me as I sit alone in the room looking out at the dark sky. I wasn't really mad, just a bit confused and disappointed at everything that had been on, and with Wendy not wanting to hear what I needed to say. Then my thoughts go to Neverland and the problems I've been having.

Sighing, I stand up and climb out through the window as I walk carefully on the roof making sure I didn't slip and fall. Once I'm a good distance away from the edge, I lie down tucking both my arms behind my back as I stare up at the darkening sky watching the stars twinkle brightly.

For some time I stare at the second star to the right that leads to Neverland when I hear a creaking sound below me. I sit upright in a flash looking down at Wendy as she climbs out through her window. I climb down towards her and give her a hand so she won't fall. She smiles shyly and her usual twinkling eyes are dull and lifeless. She also seems a bit sweaty and she shakes as she takes my hand and I feel a jolt of electricity run up and down my arm. I blush but am thankful it's too dark for her to notice.

I lead her to where I had been lying down earlier and we both sit in awkward silence before she decides to speak, "You've been up here quite a while," and I nod, "you've been up here since six,"

"What time is it now?"

"Eleven," I just nod, but I am surprised. Wendy looks at me concerned and nudges me with her arm, "What's wrong?" she leans in and rests her head on my shoulder making my heart beat faster.

"It's nothing, just feeling confused," I answer looking down at my feet.

"About our discussion earlier," she asks and I shake my head.

"No, about Neverland," I answer and she nods, "I just don't feel comfortable in Neverland like I used to. Everyone there has only been pushing me away keeping secrets behind my back," I feel my blood begin to boil again as anger burns at my core, "Everyone has started to begin treating me like a child and it annoys me to no end and it frustrates…"

"A child?" Wendy interrupts sitting up and looking at me confused. She seems tense as I look at her wide eyes that look almost black in the darkness, "but I thought you enjoyed being treated as a child. Isn't that the whole point you returned to Neverland? To continue being a child," I stare at her a bit baffled. She's right, but… "Peter," I look down at her sympathetic eyes as she whispers slowly, "I didn't want to say anything but…"

"But what?"

"When you got here you looked older than the last time I saw you," she says also in a whisper and I nod not really understanding what she's trying to say to me. She looks nervous, a bit scared as well.

"And?"

"And you seem to have changed a bit, but I can still see the Peter I fell in…" she stays quiet and ducks her head a bit as I look down at her confused. Was she confessing something to me?

I smile down at her feeling a bit touched, though I might be wrong about what she was about to say. Either way, I felt the same way as she did. Even when I didn't really understand these strange emotions that come to me every time she's near me.

She looks down at her hands and then with a small smile says, "Peter, I think you're unconsciously growing up," silence. She looks up and some sort of realization seems to hit her and her smile is gone as she frowns at me looking worried.

I stare at her for what seems like ages, my smile going away, as the world slows down around me. My heart stutters and a cold chill runs down my spine making me shiver violently. Me grow up? That-that's impossible. I can't grow up. It's not logical, impossible even, or is it.

I feel myself stand and just as I do I feel my hand release Wendy's. I hadn't noticed that I'd been holding it this entire time and I want to blush and grab a hold of her hand again but I can't. I can't move my body and even if I tried I wouldn't be able to do it.

Taking a step back I feel the wind get knocked out of me and that's when I notice that I'm falling, falling down the side of the Darling home. I roll down the roof hitting my head, arms, legs as I roll while I hear Wendy scream out my name. I fall over the edge of the roof with my face looking up at the sky and the stars. I look up at a screaming Wendy as she looks down at me from the edge of the roof and I smile, not because I enjoy seeing her cry, I hated when she cried. No, I was smiling because what she says is true and I haven't realized it until now.

No child would have ever cared about being kept secrets. They would just go on living their life with their imagination, they would never understand the concept of the feelings I've come to understand. They would never see the boys like I do, not as little brothers but as my own children. Something I suspect only a man, even a father, could ever feel about his boys. Maybe Wendy's right; maybe I have grown up without me truly realizing it.

A golden light engulfs me and I'm certain I'm the only one who can see it as I plummet down to the ground. It looks like pixie dust, bucket full of pixie dust. I smile knowing what to do, and that does not include flying. I have to choose and confess.

I confess, I confess that I want to grow up alongside Wendy and the boys. I want to grow up and be a man to watch and protect the boys and Wendy. I want to do that thing adults do when they're in love, marry, that's it, I want to marry Wendy.

Those are the confessions I'm making, the confessions no one can hear as I fall.

OOOOH he confessed, even if Wendy didn't really hear him say anything, but he has now finally confessed.

Now to clear up some things, around the next chapter it's about to get a bit confusing for all of you and I know because I did it on purpose. I also want to see if anyone can tell me what they think is going on, but I recomend you wait to tell me until the next chapter when things get a bit more hectic in the Darling home.

Chapter 15 - Forgotten will be out on June 30, so look out for that. The reason i'm posting late is becasue I want to keep you in suspense...muahahahaha.

So I really hope you all enjoyed this chapter and hopefully the next story will be more adventurous than this one mainly since this one is setting out a few easter eggs on what will be appearing further on in the story, so cross your fingers.
