Chapter Two: Who Is He?
Did you have a fun tome at school Jan, mom said as I ran by.
Yes momma, I said climbing the stairs to my room. I cross of the date on my calendar. This is last day till the circle, when I turn sixteen. That was the start of my routine, after I dressed in my evening clothes then tended my studies. Piano was an hour, I've been playing it since I was four. Never thought about anything well I was playing it. The music takes me away just like books.
Jan can you get the cook books and your dolls for donation, my mother's voice was weak which meant she was mad. I ran into the closet and found the books but couldn't find the dolls. "Fuck", I said as I looked again. 'Thud' a small black box fell and I saw it the label. It said 'Peter' in faint gold letters. Who was this peter person? I looked back and found the dolls and then graved the box.
Here you go momma.
Thank you dear.
Mom can I please have a bit of quite time in my room?
Yes dear but don't be late for super.
I ran off to my room and pulled out the box. It hadn't been open in a while only about a year or two ago but still dusty. In it was a book and a necklace with a brown acorn but when I looked closely at it I saw the hole.
What the fuck!
I thought but then I saw a gold coin and even more coins in a purple velvet bag. I opened the book and began to read.
The book told me about Neverland, the lost boys, fairies, Peter Pan and lots more. My mom wrote books but this was real I could tell a story of mums to a story from her eyes them selves.
Diner was short and quite, well quiet. We had the best for diner but I could only say so much without bursting out about Peter Pan. After diner was a bath and bed. My bed is hard and lumpy because my parents told me not to complain and it was a lesson. The funny part is they gave me it when I was three. So I read and read the diary all night.
In the morning my mother came and brought me breakfast. Then I got sung happy birthday from all my friends. Till 12 they stayed and then where gone. And that's when it happened. Every birthday I get to sleep in my mum's room, but not anymore because I'm too old.
I walked into my room only to find mum in there with a bottle.
Can you come here Wendy, darling. My dad yelled as she almost dropped it. Then I got it the bottle would go to Neverland as soon as she dropped it. She went outside without it sent. I ran over and opened the bottle and read the message:
Dear Peter,
Due to things I must cancel tonight's meeting. I know we only due it once a year but things do happen hopefully you will forgive me
Ever yours Wendy
She didn't like peter anymore yet she saw him once a year and now I know what she hides. She doesn't want him coming now and then we can't see him for then we'll go and she doesn't like him one bit well now I know her fucking secret. And I'm using it to see him. Quickly I wrote a new message. When she came in the room and sent it thinking the same message was in there was so funny. Now all I had to do was wait for my plan to start.
Diner was amazing and I got everything I wanted, even a new bed. So now all I had to do was stay awake but it was hard and then I fell asleep.
