Luna was back in her room stuffed under her blankets and pillows feeling like she should stay hidden from the world. After Ben had found her in her paranoid state in the bathroom floor she had realized it had been all in her mind, what she didn't understand was how it happened and when it had started. The worse thing was that there had been people in the bathroom and when Luna had started her panic attack they all went out to go find help. Her mother didn't know anything either, Ben and Luna had kept it quiet over dinner and what made the topic was why Ben had decided to skip school. He of course had defended himself by stating he wanted to also spend time with his mother. If Luna could stay in the room till next year she would have, she felt sick and her pride destroyed, even as she closed her eyes the feeling of the water still hunted her and yet what broke her was that it had not been real.
"I wonder if the light was also in my head" – Luna whispered to herself pulling her blanket over her face. She was thankful that she had no school the next day; she really needed to get herself together and rest was not going to help much. Luna felt a cold breeze in the room, but she had closed the window before she went to bed, slowly she took the covers off her face and looked at the ceiling where a pair of brown eyes stared back in surprise. What followed next was a scream followed by a hit in the ceiling and an "ouch".
"OMG,OMG,OMG!" – Luna yelled but as she tried to get up of her bed Peter went down and tried to hold her, making both of them roll in the bed with Luna on top of him with a very panic look, but no longer screaming, her heartbeat was close to a heart attack and Peter could almost hear it.
"Luna? Hey, you ok? – Ben's voice came from out her door.
"Y…yeah it was, was a…" – her mind was blank.
"A beautiful boy who came to visit the moon" – Peter whispered.
"Oh, shut up"
"Luna?"
"Nightmare" – Luna remained quiet as Ben seemed to think about what she said.
"How original" – Peter whispered as Luna glared at him.
"Whatever, just stop screaming or I'll think you lost it again" - he responded angrily.
"You and me both, Ben, you and me both" – she said looking at Peter.
"I must say I do enjoy this position" – he said, his eyes on her, his hair all messed up –"But I rather we go like this" – he said changing their positions Luna however was speechless. She was thinking about what she saw – "Luna?"
"Peter …you…..fl...Never mind it's probably in my head again" – she said looking away to the side, not caring about Peter being on top of her. –"I'm not feeling well so can you just leave?"
"No."
"I really don't want to start an argument on how you find it so easy to climb into my window and enter my room like nobody's business, so please get out before I really snap." – Her voice had no life it was as if she was saying a speech and it annoyed Peter whose virtue was not patience. He slowly lowered his head to her side next to her right ear and snuggled his head to her very softly so that his golden curls fell to her face, trying to tickle her.
"Luna.I'll tell you a secret" – he whispered to her ear, Luna was trying not to focus in his pine scent and sweet alluring voice. She needed to stay sharp to stay in reality.
"If it is about your stalker syndrome I already knew, get a doctor to check if it's getting worse. Actually, I think is something affecting many this last week."
"It's a cool secret" – Peter continue not moving from his spot.
"I'm not interested, take your secret and go" – she felt funny saying the words.
"You don't want me to leave."
"Yes I do."
"Prove it."
"How?" – she turned to face him. For a moment she thought it had been a mistake to do so, he was pulling her into his own space and she grew overconfident with him, no care in the world because he was there. Luna didn't like that. Peter smirked at her with all the confidence in the world.
"Push me off" – Luna rolled her eyes, but put both her hands on his chest and pushed him back, she had put a lot of strength in to it expecting Peter to be heavy, but the result was Peter somehow jumping out the bed.
"I said out" – Luna said angrily.
He looked upset at her but seeing her he understood she was just upset about something else.
"I don't climb to your window, I have no need to; secondly if you're scared why don't you just say it instead of getting angry at others?"
"That's your own fault, and I'm not angry! – Peter looked at her with a raised eyebrow questioning her. – "Look it's been a rough day for me; I don't even know what's going on anymore. I almost died and nothing was real! - In a matter of seconds he was next to her again, Luna questioned the fact that she was sure she saw no movement in his feet.
"I won't do anything to you, I swear. So go to sleep and I'll keep the bad things away" – he told her kindly.
"Why would you do that, you hardly know me Peter."
"I heard my name and when I looked back it was you who was calling me, when I saw how scared you were I promised myself I'd never leave you."
"Why?" – Luna and Peter were very close to each other yet neither even noticed it.
"Because being left behind is the scariest feeling in the world, even scarier than death." – Peter whispered the words like it hurt him to even say them. Luna was confused on how that could be so scary considering death was the far worse option.
"So what was that secret you wanted to share with the class?"
"I…"
"Luna!" – Ben opened the door, but before Luna could do anything Peter was already gone, only the wind hit her and the scent of pine trees still lingered on her. – "Was someone here?"
"Don't be ridiculous Ben, I was talking to myself" – Luna tried her best poker face.
"I heard someone's voice"
"Were you spying on me Ben?" – She was getting upset, but Ben rolled his eyes and gave Luna a package.
"I actually came to give you this; a friend of yours came over a while ago and told mom when she and dad were leaving for the movies to give it to you" – Luna held the packaged that was beautifully covered
"One of the girls?"
"I don't think so the way mom was acting"
"Oh thanks Ben" – Luna watched as Ben left to his room and she sat on her bed again. She left the package on the side of the bed and decided to go to sleep. She knew that when Peter disappeared he was long gone nowhere to be seen, always a mystery full of excitement. She looked at the window that remained opened and she left it like that wondering if Peter would come back. A few minutes later as her eyes were closing she heard the silver bell's melody again and she fell asleep.
Luna dreamed that night of good things, of things children dream of. She had a peaceful sleep. What she never found out was the boy sitting on her window playing the pan flute as he watched her sleep, keeping his promised.
The next day Luna opened the package.
It was the copy of Peter Pan she had in her hands in the book store.
