Camo’s P.O.V.
The guy suddenly stopped mopping and turned to me. He looked at me with sad eyes.
“You must be mistaken.” He told me.
“Don’t do this to me.” I told him, tears welling up in my eyes. “You can’t do this to me Peter I can see right through you.”
“I’m sorry but you have the wrong guy.” He said, coming closer.
“I know it’s you!” I yelled at him. He shh’d me and pointed outside of the door. He moved closer to my bed and grabbed my hand. He winced when he saw the back of my head which had been shaven off for the surgery they had to do on me.
“Looks like they had to operate on the limbic regions of your brain.” He said. “You know, they say that there’s this invisible part that’s connected to the dreaming.”
“I’ve heard of it.” I mumbled.
“You can’t dream, can you?” He asked me, with hurt in his eyes. I shook my head no.
“Then you can’t go back.” He told me with tears in his eyes. I gripped on tight to his hand so he couldn’t leave me.
“What did you say?” I asked.
“You aren’t calling me anymore Camo. You don’t need me anymore.” He said.
“I knew it was you!’’ I rejoiced that it was real. Peter was real and so was Neverland…but I can never go back. Oh my God. I can never go back.
I held Peter’s hand tight as he tried to move away from me.
“I will always need you.” I told him as I pulled him back to me and kissed him. He kissed me back with full force, like he had never kissed before.
“I thought I-” He tried to talk while kissing me. “I lost you. That you wouldn’t remember.”
“I remember everything.” I said when I stopped kissing him.
“But maybe it would be better if you wouldn’t.” He said quietly. “Because you will never be able to go back. And even if you could, it wouldn’t be the same.”
“As long as you come to see me I will be fine.” I told him.
“I told the others to act like they didn’t know you…in case things went differently.” He admitted. “I don’t want you hurting more than you already are.”
“That’s what hurt the worst.” I told him.
“It was also partly for their protection. They needed alibis for when they came in to get help and treatments.” He said.
“Are you going back to Neverland?” I asked. He nodded yes.
“But I’ll be back soon. You know how time works.” He smiled a little. “Besides, I have to clean up the mess we made.”
“Wait, what happened after I was hit? And who hit me? What all has happened? I’m so confused about that bit.” I asked.
“Hook hit you. I think he was aiming for me. After he did that…I stabbed him right through his heart. After that I took you back to earth and Nibs rounded up the others and they all came. Some of them are still making decisions as to whether they are going back to Neverland or not. I know Slightly and Anna are staying here on earth. They’ve decided it’d be better for them here. And I’ll be around as much as possible. You won’t even know when I’m gone. I’ll leave when you sleep and be back when you wake up. It’ll be boring and miserable without you but I need to keep up my duties.” He told me.
“When will the others decide when they’re staying or going back?” I asked.
“They’ll decide when they’re ready.” He told me.
“Peter?” I whispered.
“Yes?” He asked.
“I’m so in love with you.” I smiled.
