I woke up in peters arms as he was walking back to camp. I wrapped my arms around his neck to help him. I nuzzled my head in his neck, feeling his warm embrace.

"I see someone's awake." I shook my head. I felt him smile. "Go back to sleep."

I was ahead of him as I fell back asleep, letting my arms fall to my side again.

I woke up on peters bed. I moved the blanket some and went to stand up.

"Stay." I looked over to see Peter, still asleep. I smiled and laid back down. "I love you."

My heart sank. What did he mean? He's only known me for a couple days, unless-

I moved one of the pillows to where I was and stood up. I put my shoes on and ran down towards the cave.

I swam under the water and up. They were asleep.

"Where did you go?" The boy asked.

"John, I can explain." He rolled his eyes and leaned back on the cave walls.

"Have you guys been here the whole time?" The boy looked over at Wendy who was cuddling Micheal to keep warm. He looked back at me and nodded.

"John, I need you to be honest, is peter lying to me?" The boy looked down.

"About what?" I looked at him softly.

"What do you mean?" My eyes went foggy.

"He's.....hes been lying to you the whole time."

"About everything?" He nodded. "About forgetting me?" He nodded. "What about- Never mind."

I stood up and jumped back into the water. I swam up and left the cave.

Had he really been lying the whole time? Was he lying about....loving me?

I fell onto my knees, hitting the warm sand. I stared down at the ground. A single tear leaving my eyes. I felt numb. Why would he lie?

I heard a sound from the bushes in the forest and couldn't be bothered to look.

"All out here alone?" Hook walked over to me placing his hand under my chin making me look up at him. "You're the perfect bait."

I stared at him blankly. He looked down at my lips and I pushed him away.

"Where to now?" He looked confused. "Lead the way." He laughed and smirked wiping his nose.

"Always like an easy women, but hard women are better." I rolled my eyes and stood up. "This way love."

He started walking down the beach. I could see a ship in the distance. A soft woah left my mouth as we got closer.

"Like what you see?" I rolled my eyes at him and continued walking. Hook looked into the forest and then at me. "Come here."

I came to him and he put his hand up. He blew a purple dust in my face.

I woke up in a room. It had a green blanket with white sheets. There's was a bookshelf type counter to my left. I looked out the window that was next to the bed and looked at the water. There was a knock at the door.

"You awake?" I stood up and opened the door.

"I was going to come willingly." He smiled.

"It's funner my way." Hook said smirking
