Never Say Goodbye (Peter Pan 1953)

Chapter 5

I wake up. My vision blurry. I blink a couple times and notice Peter is gone. I quickly get off the hammock and begin to look around.

The boys are still asleep. Then I hear laughter. From a girl. I climb out of the hideout and see flying around with a girl.

Peter looks down at me and I glare at him. He comes down quickly with the girl closely following.

"Who is she?" I ask annoyed. She looks about my age. Red hair, green eyes, and freckles dotting her face.

"I'm Amber Baker." She says sweetly. I scowl at her then look to Peter. He looks at me annoyed.

"Be nice." He says. I scowl again. Amber just stands there awkwardly not knowing what to do.

"GET LOST." I yell at her. She seems a bit surprised and my tone. I look at her again and see that she is in her pajamas.

"Trystan! Quit being jealous she is just a friend." Peter says raising his voice.

"I AM NOT JEALOUS OF THIS... FREAK!" I yell. "And you know what bothers me? THAT YOU PICKED HER UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND TOOK HER TO NEVERLAND!"I say yelling. Amber just backs up. She points behind her and mumbles something. Then just walks away. I stare at Peter and he stares at me.

"Trystan, I don't have room for jealousy in Neverland. So if you are gonna get jealous get lost." He says calmly.

I am shocked. Ok, so I might be a little jealous. But wouldn't you if your boyfriend just picked up some chick in the middle of the night without you knowing?

"Fine. Whatever." I say and walk off.

I walk down to the beach and kick off my black sneakers. I pull off my socks and roll up my pants. I step in the water. Its actually pretty warm. I sit in the water and let it soak me. My pants are wet and so is the hem of my zombie shirt. I just watch the crystal blue water.

For about and hour I stay like this. I finally grab my socks and shoes and walk towards the hideout. When I get there the lost boys are still asleep. Not surprised. I walk into Peter's room. He isn't in there. Probably with Amber fighting pirates or flying around the island.

I find Tinkerbell and give myself pixie dust. I fly around the island looking for them. I go to Skull Rock and sure enough they are there. I hide behind a rock and watch them.

I can't hear what they are doing so I just watch their actions. I see Amber lean in and kiss him. My eyes get big and I freeze. I start to hyperventilate. Peter just blushes and tells her something.

I feel a tear stream down my cheek and I start to cry. I hug my legs and cover my face in my knees.

I look up and see Peter watching me.

"What's wrong?" He asks hugging me. I push him away.

"YOU JUST KISSED HER!" I yell. He tries to explain, but I just fly off. I feel Peter grab my arm I turn around and she him. His soft eyes.

"She kissed me!" He yells. I yank away and fly as fast as I can to the hideout.

When I get there I rush to the lost boys and hug them. I begin to cry again and they hug me.

"What's the matter?" They all ask. I wipe my eyes. And sniffle.

"He kissed her." I say my voice shaky. They know what I mean. I hear Peter fly in. All the Lost Boys circle around me. Protecting. Hiding. They talk to him and I fall on my knees. I cover my ears and shut my eyes.

I just want to hide away forever. Shut in the darkness. Swallowed in blackness.

Someone touches my shoulder. I look up and take my hands off my wet eyes. I see Peter. Smiling weakly.
"You believe me don't ya?"

He says in a voice that makes me believe in him. I nod and sniffle. Peter kneels down next to me. He hugs me and I embrace him. I wrap my arms around him.
"I love you." I whisper.
"I love you too, Trystan." he replies.
I smile and let go off him. Peter kisses my forehead and we stand up. I wrap my arms under his arms and rest my head on his chest. Peter hugs me back.
