I smiled as I waited for my family to show up standing beside Carlos as he had his arm wrapped around my shoulders about everyone in the school knew about our relationship now and I was happy but I was nervous about what my family would say about him.
"is that my sister?" I heard a guy's voice say behind me and I gasped and turned around to see Alister.
I ran to him and pulled him in a hug he picked me up and spun me around." hey big brother I didn't realize you would be here too." I said as he put me down.
"You know we couldn't forget him." I heard my mother's voice from behind him, and I took a deep breath, but once Alister moved out of the way, my mother came over to me, hugging me.
"Hi, Mom." I smiled at her.
"oh my tea parties and teapots, is that Alex. no it can't be." the mad hatter came up to me and I ran and gave one of the biggest hugs ever.
"It's so good to see you again i've missed you all very much, and a lot has happened." I said clearing my throat in front of the three." I would like to introduce you all to my four new best friends that I have been through a lot this year." I said hooking my arms with the mad hatter and my mother and leading them over to the group of villain kids.
"Mom, Hatter, I would like to introduce you to the villain kids and my new best friends," I said, unhooking my arms with them and running over to Carlos, who wrapped an arm around my shoulder.
My mother's eyes widened, but the Hatter just smiled at all of them." It's nice to meet you all, im the Mad Hatter. "he shook each of their hands, but my mom just stood there.
"Mom?" I asked worried.
"Let's dance. "She ignored me and walked back over to Alister and talked with him.
I noticed my brother tell the person in charge of letting people on stage to sing for the people dancing, and whisper to him.
"Dang, your mom is not what I expected," Jay said, and I nodded.
"sweet, kind, caring, loving, everything except for what she just acted like?" I said, and they all nodded.
"Our next performer will be Alex Wonderland." the announcer said my eyes widened hearing my name I glared at my brother.
I walked up on stage and sang the lyrics that popped into my head
"This must be what the poets talk about. You read me like nobody else. This is different, I can tell." I sang, walking off the stage and dancing with some people.
"This must be what the dreamers dream about. You pulled me off the pages. been waiting for ages for you to arrive." I saw Carlos smiling at me and he ran over to me so we could dance while i sang this song everyone kind of clearing a path knowing this song was about our relationship.
"So let me be the Wendy to your Peter Pan. Paint me like the sky, touch down in Neverland. Baby, will you come back when the story ends? promise that you'll read me. read me again." I said as we both had tears in our eyes.
"This must be what the writers write about. Can't you see you're my Mr. Darcy and im Lizzy Bennet. It was fated to happen. So imagine that im Wendy. You're my Peter Pan. Paint me like the sky, touch down in Neverland. Baby, will you come back when the story ends? Promise that you'll read to me. Reread me. "We danced even more, and I noticed my mother's face turn into a smile once she realized how nice and good of a boy he was for me.
"Stories end and pages fold. And over time, our stories are told, we'll stay young between ink and pen as they read them. Again and again and again. im the Wendy to your Peter Pan. Paint me like the sky, touch down in Neverland. Baby, will you come back when the story ends? Promise that you'll read to me. Promise that you'll read to me. "I said as I made my way back up to the stage to finish the song, as everyone danced to the slower part.
"Baby, im the Wendy to your Peter Pan. Paint me like the sky, touch down in Neverland. Baby, will you come back when the story ends? Promise that you'll read to me. Reread me. Cause you will always read me. Read me again." I finished taking a deep breath and bowing before walking off the stage as people cheered and clapped.
I noticed my brother, my mother, and Carlos all waiting for me.
I smiled shyly and walked up to them." That song was beautiful, honey," my mother said, and I nodded my head in thanks.
"thank you, mother."I said but diverted my eyes to Carlos who was standing beside my brother."I guess you have already figured that me and Carlos have been sort of dating."I said and my mother nodded.
"I'm sorry for the way I acted earlier and I was just in shock, but hey beauty fell in love with a beast so why can't a princess fall in love with a villain." she said and I smiled she put a hand on Carlos's shoulder smiling at him."I'm happy for you both, I know you will take care of each other," she said and I noticed something on her left hand and my eyes widened.
"like my mother said but as an overprotective brother. You better not hurt her or you'll regret it bud." my brother said and they all laughed while I was just stuck in time.
"Mom..."I said and she looked at me worried and she noticed my gaze on her left ring finger.
"ohh, I was going to tell you but we got distracted, the hatter proposed," she said and my stomach felt like it was dropping I was so happy for them but why wouldn't she tell me?
"I'm happy for you both, "I said with tears in my eyes. She opened her arms, and I ran into them as my brother joined in the hug.
"Now we will be a proper family, "my mother gushed, and I smiled, taking Carlos's hand.
"Oh, Alex, I just wanted to warn you if you visit back to Wonderland again, Chase has been asking about you." He came closer to my ear to whisper. "I know about Lizzie and him. If you want me to beat him up and tell him you've moved on and have a new boyfriend, that's better. I will," he suggested, and I laughed.
"Yeah, that would be great, thanks."I smiled as we all started a conversation.
