✨getting kidnapped....again✨

"something's bothering you" peter pointed out as i sat on a nearby rock

"i swear i'm that transparent" i mumble

"only to me,someone who's known you for quite sometime"

"that is true" i shrug

"so tell me what's wrong"

'how do i put this nicely?'

"my fathers a dick" i deadpan

peter let out a surprised laugh "i have no doubt but you need to be more specific"

"i never did tell you about the night i joined the lost boys have i?"

he shook his head "you never wanted to talk about it so i finally stopped asking,i guess it just always left my mind and i eventually forgot"

"yeah well,it's bloody amazing" i mutter sarcastically "when i joined you guys it was the biggest fight i ever think we had besides our fights of us being egotistical and my attitude,he told me "if you love them so much why don't you become one" and that's what i did,but during that conversation he spun around and got me with his hook,hence the mark on my cheek,and after having not seeing him for a long time in over 500 years i finally run into him,with him surrounded by my friends tied to a tree and getting ready to be eaten by an ogre" i let out a slight laugh "it was the most amazing thing i've ever seen and when i heard his voice the first time all i ever wanted to do was jump in his arms and tell him, it's alright,that i was back and i wasn't gonna leave because you were the only family i had but i didn't because i still held-still do- hold a grudge after all these years and i shouldn't,and when he betrayed me and my friends to go with the queen of hearts,i told him i never thought of him as a father,and peter,it broke me to see how much those words affected him,the guilt and sadness on his face,and i wish i could take that back" i felt my eyes water

'dammit,why do you have to be such a cry baby all the time?!'i mentally scolded myself as i felt arms wrap around me

"is that what's really bothering you love? you let your one handed-father with a drinking problem stop you from having the best of times at home? bailey if he really wanted you,he would have stopped you,he would have apologized,he would have came looking for you and tried to get you back" he rubbed my back slightly and i dug my face into the crook of his neck

"i'm sorry about ranting about all this" i shake my head with a small smile,wiping my tears

"don't apologize bailey,sometimes we need to let it out"

"is bailey alright?" i heard henrys familiar voice ask and i looked at him

"i'm alright henry,just saying stuff i'd like to get off my chest"

"like what?" he asked concern

"my father" i said softly and he gave me one of his warm hugs

"it'll get better soon i promise" he whispered

"i hope so" i whispered back,squeezing him tighter until he pulled away

"but why are you talking about him now?" he asked curiously

"because i'm in neverland and i'm probably not gonna see him again"

"that's not true,our family is coming,they always do,they always save us"

"they're coming for you" i corrected

"no for both of us"

"okay henry,for both of us" i told him although i wasn't sure if i believed him or not.

me and henry were sitting on a log,him moping around and me watching the lost boys dance until peter came over
