Never Never Land

Peter and Drake

She wakes up crying. Her arms clutch her chest. Her head pounds.

Peter and Drake burst through her curtain.

"Are you okay?" they ask in unison.

She blinks.

Peter glares at Drake.

She hugs the blanket around herself. "I'm fine."

Peter sits next to her on the bed.

She sees Drake shuffling away.

She raises an eyebrow at him.

"What?"

"What is with you and Drake?"

"He..."

She waits.

He hates the feeling deep in his stomach. He's never felt jealous of anything or anyone. He wishes he could've known Jo outside of Never Land the way Drake did.

"He's into you," he says.

She scoffs. "Yeah. Right. How can he like this?" She gestures to her face and body. Her face is pale, her green eyes pierce at him in the darkness, and her T-shirt is the dark purple one he gave her the first night in her room.

"You look beautiful."

She frowns. "Drake has everything he needs in the Mainland."

"What's different from you?"

"I don't have anything to go back to, Peter. Nothing."

"What if you didn't jump in the water?"

"I would be stealing from stores still."

"Jo. I know you. I know you're lying about Drake. Have you ever loved him?"

She shakes her head. "Peter-"

"Tell me the truth."

"It is the truth. But... I used to like him in a different way. I never did. But-" she sighs. "There's only you. Never have I ever-" she blushes.

"Are the nightmares still coming?"

She winces. "Yeah."

"Should I-"

She nods. "Please."

He slips into bed with her.

She curls against his chest.

Her scent of the ocean stays in his nose, until he drifts into sleep.

"Hook. He's pacing the deck."

She frowns. "But that means he still wants to kill you."

"He always wants to kill me."

"Hook?" Drake frowns. "He's the guy who kidnapped you?"

She nods. "He's a butt."

Drake smirks.

Joliet hates that smirk on his face. She hates it. She walks to the entrance, and ducks into the cool night.

She hugs her knees to her chest.

Drake sits next to her.

She feels her heart flutter. No. No. No. I do not have feelings for Drake Dawson. But her heart can't help but climax slightly.

"Joliet-"

"What do you want?"

"Do you like it here?"
