"i can feel you lurking" i said blankly as peter stepped out from behind a tree

 "where did you go after the show?" he asked with a smirk but i knew he was serious and i knew not to lie to him 

"i was with the others" i said simply and continued walking

 "you mean the others i told you not to interfere with?" he raised a brow and rolled my eyes 

"technically you said don't go near them,but they came near me" i shrugged and he appeared in front of me 

"bailey" he said with a look and i sighed

 "i didn't mean to run into them alright? they just found me while i was upset about what happened earlier" i explained and he stared at me for a moment "i swear peter" i said softly

he sighed before wrapping me into a hug "i just don't want you getting hurt" i laughed slightly "if anything i'll be the one doing the hurting not them" 

"but seriously,i don't want you to leave me again,i just got you back" i sighed and leaned my forehead onto his chest "i'm not going anywhere peter" i whispered

 "lets head back to camp love,henry's been worrying about you" he told me as we released the hug and walked back to camp

[...]

once we arrived we walked over to henry "avery! you're okay! i thought something happened" henry brought me into a tight hug 

"come on lad,you know i can handle myself,i'm a big girl" i say with a smile

 "anyway would you guys like to go for a stroll? some place special i'd like to show you two" peter asked us 

"i'm not going anywhere with you" henry said with his back facing peter

 "why not henry?" he asked 

"i think you're lying to me-to both of us" henry grabs my hand "my family,they're here on neverland,i know it"

 "what makes you so sure?" peter asked before i could say anything

 "does it matter?" henry asked

 "no" peter smiles "it doesn't,but id be remiss if i didn't point out what does,if your family is here,henry,why haven't they come for you?" 

henry finally turned his bod so he was facing peter "maybe you're keeping them from me" 

"henry i promise you,i'm not holding your family prisoner" peter whispers which isn't a lie,i mean they aren't captured,they're roaming freely,but something still doesn't sit right,something else is still going on and peter isn't only lying about our family not being here 

"then why do you keep disappearing into the jungle? you're hiding something from me and i'm gonna find out what it is" he stood up and walked away,i could tell peter was about to loose his temper by the look on his face

 "i'll go talk to him" i say softly and followed henry into the woods

[...] 

i found him sitting down on a fallen tree trunk and i sat next to him

 "do you really love him?' henry spoke and i almost fell off the tree trunk "what?" i asked shocked

 "do you love him?" he asked again and i didn't know what to say "uhm..." i shifted uncomfortably 

"you don't have to answer,i see the way he looks at you,and the way you look at him" henry continued "remember when i told you i couldn't find your particular story?" he asked and i nodded "well while i was reading to you in the hospital, i figured out...that you don't have one" i looked down sadly "because you make your own" i look back up to henry in surprise "you're in almost every story i've read,wether you're with snow white and prince charming,being with my mom,stealing,being a hero,you're always in a story,but you don't have you're own specific one" he shrugs
