My One And Only Lost Boy

chapter seven: the promise

"Hey Alex? Could i talk with you for a minute?" I asked.

He looked at me, scared.

"Y-yeah, sure." He said.

"I won't hurt you, I promise. I just want to know what happened after I left." I said.

"Well, you always helped everyone out, but once you were gone, there was too much work, too much pressure." He started saying.

"Plus, you always knew how to get Captain calm. There was chaos. They thought I could replace you."

"But um, you know me. I can't do anything right. I made tings only worse. When Hook understood that I can't replace you,"

"He got mad, he was looking for portals everywhere. He desperately needed you." He finished.

"I am so, so, so sorry you had to go through that. And please, don't think you can't do anything." I said.

"I was just like you. I thought I was useful for nothing. But that's not true. You just gotta believe in yourself." I said.

"Let me make this place your home." I said.

"You think people will like me here? You think ths could finally be my home?" He asked.

"I promise you, this will be you home." I said.

"Promise?" He asked.

"Promise." I said.

"I actually have something for you." I have him my old knife.

"Everyone has one. Some have more. Like me. That isn't my only one." I said.

"Take it as a welcome gift." I said.

He smiled at me. I smiled at him.

"EVERYONE! LISTEN UP!" I said, standing on a rock by the bonfire.

Everyone was looking at me.

"I have a few things to say. Number one: I am happy to announce that me and Devin are officially together!" I said.

All of the lost boys were cheering, and I saw Devin smile happier then I've ever seen him.

"Nuber two"," I said when all of the cheering stopped.

"We have a new lost boy. Be kind to him, cause he's been through a lot. Please welcome Alex!" I said, and pulled Alex close to me, so everyone would see him.

Everyone started cheering again. Alex was full of tears. He finally felt like home.

"Hey, It's okay, big man." I said.

"Yeah, I'm just- really happy. Thank you." He said.

"That's what friends are for." I said.

Everyone were celebrating, everyone exept for Felix.

"Hey big man, why are yoh not dancing?" I asked.

"How did you manage to pull off a perfect life? I mean, you got to be with the person you love."

"Wait- no way! You- you. You? No way. Felix. The guy with the coldest heart. In love. With who? Tell me everything!" I asked.

"It's no one really. I just- you know what? Nevermind." He said.

He looked at me, smiled and took me to dance.

Felix was in love with someone. That's for sure. He doesn't want to admit it, but he's in love.

But you know what? I'll give him some space. If he doesn't want to tell me right now, I can't force him to.

I'll just enjoy my own life for now. My life, sure, might have it's own flaws, but I'm happy with what I've got.

And maybe that's all what matters. How I feel about my own life.

I don't know what the future will bring. But for now, I'll just live my best life, and I'll just be me.
