It's been 4 days since I arrived in Neverland. Everyone welcomed me with their arms wide open. All the Pixies are very supportive of our family, many of them now choosing to turn into humans and live a full life. Sure, they lose their immortality, but many of them are already hundreds of years old and wish to experience the full range of emotions with their soulmates, just like my aunt Peri and Ray are.

"Are you ready to tell me what he did?" Aunt Peri asks me as she sits down on the sand next to me.

"His girlfriend came knocking at the door." I finally say it out loud, feeling the dagger go through my heart again.

"I only know the guy from what your mom told me, but he sounded absolutely in love with you. Are you sure she is his girlfriend?" She asks me and I frown.

"She mentioned him going to her place. She came in the middle of the night to have sex with him!" I tell her and my eyes fill with tears while my soul boils with anger.

"Maybe she was just casual sex. Maybe he didn't have the chance to tell her that you appeared in his life." She tells me and I frown even more. Could she be right?

"He didn't deny it!" I tell her and dry my tears quickly.

"Then, what did he do?" She asks me.

"He jumped in front of me to defend me." I tell her and immediately she looks at me suspiciously.

"Then what?" She continues her interrogation.

"Then he asked her to leave and never come back!" I tell her and slowly begin to question my decision of leaving.

"Honey... hear me out: a woman came after the man you loved and he rejected her. And you ran away! You didn't stay to ask who she was, if they ever dated, if he was still seeing her when he started seeing you. You ran away because you got scared and because you continue to punish yourself for that night and deny yourself to be happy! You need to allow yourself to be loved and protected, bunny-bon! You deserve it!" She says, and I break down into tears while she wraps her arms around me.

"What have I done?" I ask her while I cry my eyes out.

"Go tell your parents you're going home!" She tells me and I smile between my tears because the moment she said 'home', an image of him smiling appeared in my head.

Tobias

I chug another bottle of bourbon and throw it against the wall, smashing it into million pieces. She's been gone for 5 days now and I'm losing my fuckin mind! I can't sleep without her. The only moments I manage to do that is when I pass out drunk. I've gone through 5 cases of bourbon in as many days. This way, I'll drain my family fortune on liquor, just to forget her.

"Please come back to me!" I whisper before I almost black out.

"I'm here!" I hear her voice and stand up from the couch, looking at the door. I see her standing there, all pale, looking lost and broken and I speedrun to pull her into my arms.

"You came back..." I whisper against her temple, feeling a tear run down my cheek. I probably look so fuckin pathetic, but I don't care! She's back!

"I did!" She answers between sniffles. I let her go and study her beautiful face. She looks so tired, but still as gorgeous as ever. I lean in to kiss her but she turns her head away.

"Please don't do this to me, Rosalia!" I whisper against her cheek.

"We need to talk!" She says and panic surges through my entire body.

"First, kiss me and then we can talk!" I say and she takes a step back.

"You know there wouldn't be any talking if I kiss you!" She says and I smile.

"Would that be such a bad thing?" I ask her as I take her hand in mine and kiss her palm.

"Who is she?" Her question snaps me out of my lustful trance.

"She is nobody!" I tell her and she takes another step back.

"Tell me another lie and I swear you'll never see me again!" She says with such anger that I take a step back this time.

"I'm sorry! I'll tell you the entire story! Just come and sit down on the couch with me!" I tell her and she follows me slowly.

"She is my brother's fiance!" I tell her and she looks at me with disgust.

"Please don't look at me like that! I never said I was a saint before I met you. I slept with her because I wanted to get back at my brother for an old family affair. It was only meant to be once, but yeah.. it wasn't! The last time I went to her place was 5 months ago, my love. She doesn't know you exist because she's a vampire! How could I have told my family about you?"

"I need a bit of time to process this information!" She tells me and panic takes over me again when she stands up.

"Where are you going?" I ask her, jumping up from the sofa.

"To get the broom to clean up the broken glass. Not all of us can walk barefoot on glass shards and not get injured." She says condescending, but I do not mind. I sit down on the couch and follow her with my tired eyes. I close them for a second, but open them immediately when I hear her hissing in pain.

"Shit!" She says as she holds her bloodied finger up, blood dripping down her forearm. She places it under water but I turn it off and take her hand, looking deep into her eyes.

Her mouth drops open as a shaky breath leaves her lips. I place the finger on my tongue, tasting her blood. It tastes exactly as I've suspected. I suck on it slowly, drinking a little and then I take a bandaid from the drawer and wrap it around her wound.

"Leave the broom!" I tell her and pull her to go upstairs with me. She follows me without making any noise. I guide her to the bedroom and shut the door behind her, trapping her between the closed door and my body.
