I forgot to say this but from now on I am only going to post a chapter after I have received at least five reviews.

I'm pretty sure that I accept anonymous reviews as well so leave one if you like it!

Also a reader has said that I do not own Bella but yes I do. I did not steal Bella from Stephanie Meyer. She used the name Bella in Twilight and I am using the name Bella in this story but that doesn't mean she is the same character. So I will not be giving credit to her for the character. I created Bella off of one of my friends. I have not stolen anything from Stephanie Meyer. I love to write and I would be shocked to see if somebody stole one of my characters, I would never do that to anyone else.

My Bella is completely different. She may have some of the same characteristics but I did not base her off Bella Swan. So please do not accuse me of things that you have no idea about.

I'm sorry but not everything revolves around Twilight, just deal with it. There are many people and stories in the world that have the same names and they do not belong to Stephanie Meyer. I think she is a great author and I do love twilight but I have only used Bella as a name.

I'm sorry that I addressed this in the chapter but I did it in case anyone else thought the same thing.

So… The original characters and places are not mine yet Bella and new characters are.

Life was moving. The sun still rose and the birds were still singing. The air still blew my hair out of place and the island still made its usual morning noises.

How could life just keep moving when everything for me was different? I was different. I thought Neverland was supposed to be infused with magic and laughter. Despair now filled me. Agony and shame were molded into my heart.

I didn't want to even take a glance at my body. I didn't want to see the reminders of what had happened yesterday. I wanted to wash any remnants of what had happened off of me. I felt the golden rays of sun hit my face and its warmth sunk into my skin.

I opened my eyes and looked at the island I had so dearly come to love. It still held the promises that it always did. It still held those promises for me. I couldn't let Hook ruin this place or me.

But Peter would probably never want me again.

I was ruined. Who was I kidding? The island may take me back but Peter wouldn't.

"Good morning love." His deep voice broke through me and the tears came. "Oh Bella, please don't cry. I can't handle it."

He dropped his face to his hands and his golden tousled hair was shaking. I just let the silent tears fall. How could he still call me love?

"Why wouldn't I Bella? My love for you hasn't changed. I'm so sorry I didn't protect you Bella. I will never forgive myself."

I hadn't realized that I had said that out loud. He loved me still? He loved me still. Peter Pan loved me. It just wasn't right.

"I love you Peter. You don't need to be stuck with me though. I'm ruined. It was worse when it happened before but then it wasn't because you weren't there. You don't need to stay with me though. Just please don't make me leave Neverland. You never even need to see me again."

"Whoa, Bella, calm down. I'm never leaving you again. What do you mean when it happened before?"

Bad move. I didn't want to tell him about that part in my life.

"Nothing."

"Bella," He took my face in his hands and his lovely blue green eyes melted me. "Let me tell you this. Nothing will ever change my love for you. I've never felt this way about anyone, not even Wendy. You've filled my life."

I felt the tears filling my eyes at his words. "You really mean that?"

"Yes, I do Bella. You've changed me forever."

I smiled in spite of myself. I felt the blush rise in my cheeks. He brushed his thumbs across my cheeks.

"Bella, you are so beautiful." He said as he lowered his head to mine. He only touched his forehead to mine. "Bella, are you okay with me kissing you?"

The only answer I gave him was to reach my lips to his. His lips were warm and inviting. They were familiar yet exciting. I would never get tired of this. Our lips molded to each others. When we broke the kiss, I knew that we would get through this. We had to.

"Peter Pan, I will always love you."

His lips stretched across his teeth to form that most wonderful smile and I couldn't help but smile with him.

"We will get through this Bella. I will not let Hook get to you as long as I can help it. I swear this to you."

Where had that little boy gone? Before me was a man. The traces of the mischievous boy still lingered in his eyes but somehow along the way he had changed.

He grabbed the basket he had brought last night and pulled out some fruit and water. I didn't think I was hungry but the minute I saw the fruit my stomach growled. I found I was actually ravenous. I ate most of the fruit but Peter didn't seem to mind.

I was sore that much was true and my heart was in worse shape but I knew I couldn't blame myself. I knew that Peter was still in love with me and that was all that mattered. I survived worse surely I could get through this especially with Peter by my side.

I looked at him as he was popping a grape into his mouth. He noticed my stare and smiled at me.

"What?" He asked.

"You're really going to stay aren't you?"

His eyes changed to a look of concern. "Of course Bella, nothing would make me leave."

I just looked at him. My heart wanted to believe but my head wasn't so sure.

"Come here Bella." He said as he opened his arms to me.

I rested my head on his chest and listened to his heartbeat. It instantly soothed me. He wrapped his arms around me and that safe feeling encompassed me. Somewhere a bird sang out his song louder than the others. It reminded me of that promise that things would stay the same.

Yes, today surely promised to shine brighter.

I know this was a slow chapter. It was necessary though. Remember I need 5 reviews before the next chapter is posted.

Thank you to all my lovely readers who have reviewed. You guys are amazing!
