Finding A Way Back: a OUAT fan fiction (Peter Pan/Robbie Kay) [COMPLETED]

6. A "Regular" Day

We still live in the abandoned building till this day. We still steal food to survive. We ended up turning the bucket into our rain barrel, and we get our water from there. And I still look after Nolan with my life.

I am currently fourteen and Nolan is ten. He turns eleven this year. I don't care how old he is, I will always look after him like the little and frightened boy he once was. I won't even care when he is thirty and getting married, I will always look after him.

***********************************

"NOLAN! WAKE UP!" This was the fifth time I had said it this morning. We were going to go on our daily food rummage. This was when we would look through trash cans, dumpsters, and behind restaurants for food. If we didn't find much there, we would steal.

I hate stealing. It's so dangerous. For example, if we get caught we go to juvenile detention. I don't want us to go anywhere where new nightmares could be corrupted inside of our minds. I also don't want to go somewhere where we could be harmed again. But we have to steal, for survival.

"Alright, alright no need to yell," Nolan said coming off the still dusty, old couch.

I just rolled my eyes and started grabbing supplies. My backpack, a rusty pocket knife, some water, and a fake parent's ID. The ID was just in case we were asked any questions about our parents or where we were from. No way am I going to let the fact that we live in an abandoned building slip by any police officers.

We walked down the creaky old stairs, to the door, and outside.

"Alright Nolan, I got the dumpster behind the pizzeria, you go get the trash can by the food cart."

"I know, we do it every day," he said back in an obnoxious tone. Someone obviously woke up on the wrong side of the bed, or couch anyway.

"Whatever, just be safe."

"Ok, ok. Geez, I'm not five anymore," he said walking off, trying to look casual.

"Not to me," I muttered when he was out of earshot.

I walked over to the pizzeria. I looked around to make sure no one was looking, and slipped into the alleyway on my way to the back. I turned the corner and saw the dumpster. I opened it up and started looking through. A candy wrapper, a tin can, an empty pizza box. Nothing good. As I was turning around I saw a glimpse of what looked like pizza crust. I pulled it out. No, it wasn't just the crust, it was the whole piece.

"Yes!" I said while shoving it in my backpack.

I started to hear the backdoor creak open. I ran as fast as I could, without stopping. If anyone found out I was rummaging through dumpsters, we would be in an orphanage in a second, no doubt. Either that or juvenile detention. I personally didn't want to go to either.

As I got to the front I looked around for Nolan. He was eyeing the hotdog cart. I ran over to him.

"Nolan, we don't steal till we know for certain we don't have anything, and I've got something."

"Me too," He said turning towards me. He took a hotdog out of his pocket.

"Nolan, where did you get that?" I whispered angrily in his ear.

"The trash! I promise!"

"You better have!"

We started walking back to the building. We took our secret route back in: around the back, and into a small hole; just big enough for us to fit inside.

We walked back upstairs and started gobbling down the food we got. Nolan almost screamed when I took out the pizza. We never get pizza.

When we were done we took the pocket knife out of my backpack and started throwing it at the target we had made. We did this frequently, trying to make a better throw than the other competitor. He usually won. My normal excuse for that is that I let him win, not that I really did or anything. Nolan was actually really good at knife throwing, hitting the bullseye every time.

We didn't do much for the rest of the day. It didn't rain so there was no need to check our makeshift rain barrel. Our rain barrel was the bucket underneath a crack in the roof. It wasn't the best, but it worked.

At the end of the day we got up on the couch and went to sleep. I woke up in the middle of the night. The window was open and I went to go close it. I got off the couch, trying not to wake Nolan up. The old window creaked with every gust of wind. As I was trying to close it, I noticed how beautiful the moon was. I stopped and just kept looked up at it, wishing everything could be that beautiful and perfect. As I stared, a piece of paper came through the window. It fell to ground like a feather. I kneeled and picked it up. When I opened it, I was in complete shock.

Nolan will never be safe we are coming back for him

Hey! Author speaking!

I was just wondering what you guys think of it so far! Please let me know! It would be wonderful! Also (I feel really stupid) do you guys know how to add a cast on a mobile device? Because I looked it up on google and it looks like you can only do it on a computer. If you could help me out with that it would be great. Thanks!
