Chapter 5
"Peter didn't come. He won't come." Wendy was saying out loud as the tears come down faster. "Michael and John are the only ones who know why I miss him so much; I didn't think they would cause me pain like this. But Peter! Oh Peter!" She buried her face in her pillow and sobbed. She cried into it until it felt soggy and uncomfortable, then lifted her face up again and wiped her tears.
"He didn't love me, not even after what Hook said to him. I have to get over this. And there's only one way I can think that will get me on the path of recovery" She walked over to her treasure box and, still sobbing, grabbed the Acorn that Peter thought was a kiss. "I have to get rid of everything that reminds me of him"
She turned to face away from the window, lifted with shaking hands the kiss, ready to throw it against the metal railing on her bed. But then, she dropped to her knees and hugged the kiss to her chest sobbing harder than ever.
"I can't!" She sobbed "I can't forget him! Not when I love him!"
She didn't know that a shocked Peter Pan was watching outside her window, crying silently. He could bear it no more. Slowly, he opened the window.
A breeze cooled her warm cheeks, still wet from crying. Wendy looked up slowly, then turned around to find the shadowy figure of a boy, dressed in leaves, hands on his hips. He bowed, just like he had done a month ago when he properly met Wendy. Wendy didn't even bother with such things.
"PETER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She ran to him and hugged him so tightly he could barely breathe. He didn't care. All he cared about was having Wendy back in his arms. He hugged her just as tightly.
"Oh Wendy, I've missed you so much." He said, closing his eyes. They pulled apart, his hands on her arms as he took her in. She looked just as her remembered. Red brown hair, freckles, rose-pink lips. The only difference was her eyes. Her beautiful green eyes were surrounded by red, just as Peter's blue ones were.
"I thought you'd never come back" Said Wendy.
"I said I would" Replied Peter.
"It's been a month, Peter." She said sadly, tears forming in her eyes "If only you'd come sooner, I wouldn't be breaking apart like this."
"You're not the only one." he moved the vines covering his heart to reveal a red wound, an X that seemed to have been drawn with a sword, only it wasn't on his skin. It was inside him. Wendy covered her mouth with her hands and gasped.
"Peter!" She uncovered her mouth and touched Peter's wound with her hand "What happened to you?"
Peter turned away from her.
"Before I came" He began "I was as miserable as you. I wouldn't eat. I wouldn't talk. I'd forgotten how to fly." He took a deep breath "Then I really started to fall apart. I felt agony, pain, and a deep sadness. Then my heart ripped." He heard Wendy gasp "It felt as if though someone had used a knife to cut my heart, to shatter it." He turned to face her again. "I didn't come back because I couldn't bear to say goodbye again. I was afraid my heart would break. But not seeing you was worse than anything I've ever encountered in my life, including Hook"
Wendy looked tenderly at the boy she loved, then slowly came forward. She put her hand on Peter's cheek and kissed the soft lips once again. When she pulled back, she saw as Peter slowly opened his eyes, and smiled for the first time in over a month.
"I needed that" She said with as she also cracked her first smile in a month. Then, to her horror, Peter flew out the window and she was afraid she had said or done something wrong. But as she looked out her window she saw peter was doing flips and cartwheels in midair shouting "WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!" She laughed, as she felt she should be doing cartwheels in midair as well. She jumped out of the way as Peter zoomed back in, landing near her bed. When he turned around, Wendy saw he looked like his old self again, happy, playful, adventurous and ever so romantic. And best of all…
"Peter!" She said excitedly "Your wound!" Peter looked down "It's gone!!"
He looked up, extremely happy. He walked up to her.
"Come on Wendy." He said grabbing her hands and directing her to the window. "Lets you and me go to Neverland. We can be together."
"Oh Peter, that sounds wonderful! Yes, I'll go back to Neverland with you! But I need…" She said suddenly remembering something. She went out the door and ran down the hall. Peter stuck his head out the door.
"Where you going?" He asked loudly.
"I need to get something, back in a jiff!" She yelled back.
Peter smiled and went back into the room. As he looked around, he stepped on something. He picked it up. It was the acorn, which Wendy had dropped in her rush to hug Peter. Happier than he had been in a long time, he started floating in a circle around her room daydreaming about spending so much time alone with Wendy. Before he knew it, Wendy was back.
"Peter?" She asked. He turned so he was floating on his stomach. Then his eyes widened. Wendy's nightgown had been changed. Wendy had cut the sleeves so they were close to her shoulder. She had cut the hem up to her knees. She had widened the neckline a bit and she had tied some rope around her waist. Her hair was pulled back in a ponytail, as he had seen some pirates wear it. And he had a piece of paper in her hand. Then, she lifted the hem to reveal boys shorts she was wearing under her nightgown.
"They were a bit too big for John when Mum bought them. But they fit me" Said Wendy smiling. "I've adjusted my clothing to be more adequate for Neverland." peter smiled.
"What's the paper for?" He pointed at her hand.
"A note for Mum and Dad to know where I am, so they know where I am and they don't get scared like last time." She placed the note on her dresser. Then Peter grabbed her hands and smiled a bit greedily. She smiled back realizing what he wanted. They started to lean in, but they hadn't gotten very close when…
"Lets go check up on Wendy, the poor girl won't stop crying" said a voice. Peter and Wendy looked at the door, where the voice was coming from.
"Yes dear, let's see if we can find out what's been bothering her."
Wendy looked back at Peter in panic.
"My parents!" She whispered frantically. They ran to the window, letting go of one hand, holding on to the other.
"Tinkerbell!" He whispered to the fairy, who had been waiting outside. She sprinkled Wendy with fairy dust and all it took was one look from Peter for her to be able to fly. They left just as Wendy's parents came in.
"Wendy darling? We're coming in, if that's alright" said Mrs. Darling. She opened the door just enough to look in. "Wendy?" She looked around. "She's not here!!!" She shrieked.
"What?!" Mr. Darling barged in the door and stared at the empty bedroom. He dropped to his knees "Wendy…"
John barged in, alarmed after his parents screaming. He took one look at the room and guessed what happened. He walked over to the dresser.
"Mum? Dad? What's going on?" asked Michael, who came in rubbing his eyes and hugging his teddy bear. He took a look around. "Where's Wendy?"
"I think I know." Said John, who was looking at a piece of paper in his hands. He walked back to his parents and handed his Mother the note. Mr. Darling read over her shoulder:
Dear Mum and Dad,
Peter Pan has come to take me back to Neverland with him and I want to go with him. So I will. I'm sorry to leave like this, but I couldn't bear being away from him anymore. I no longer feel at home here, and right now, I have to be where I belong. I will come back, but I won't stay for long, for I have to be with Peter.
All my love,
Wendy
