End Of The Innocence Chapter 5: Before Goodbye

Who knows how long this will last
No we've come so far, so fast
But, somewhere back there in the dust
That same small town in each of us
I need to remember this
So baby give me just one kiss
And let me take a long last look
Before we say goodbye

Nobody ever stayed long in Neverland. Its something Peter had to come to terms with if he wanted to stay forever young.

Sara decided to leave. She knew she had to, same as Peter. Sara had a mother, a mother who missed her and needed her dearly. Peter knew that, he'd been back there, watched her from outside the house. That was why he had grown taller. Sara had talked about feeling guilty for leaving her mum at such a time. She stayed in Neverland just a few more days but reminded herself not to forget. She would have gone back sooner, but Peter also needed her. Needed her company and reassurance that it was for the best. They flew back to Sara's house. It was different than what she had remembered. Lots of things had changed. It was ageing and the paint had started to peel. Even the streets had changed. How long had she been away? Peter first took her to the house. But the lights where off and it looked disserted.

"Where is she?" Sara asked peering through the window

"She moved." Peter grabbed her hand "Come on, I'll take you there."

The new house was smaller and run down. Weeds where growing and over taking the garden. Sara peered into a window. A lady sat in an armchair, she was much older than Sara remembered but she knew it was her mum.

"How long have I been away?" She asked blinking back tears.

"Almost 5 years,"

Sara turned back to the window. Sara did not think it had been that long. She turned back to Peter.

"I'll miss you." She gave him a hug.

Peter bent down and kissed her.

Sara knocked on the front door…

Even though Peter was alone again, He knew that this was how it was meant to be.

A/N: Aria Elessar: I'm guessing if you've read this far, you'll know what it had to do with Peter Pan. Lol. That first chapter was just an intro chapter.
