Chapter 6

Peter Pan's POV
I hung my head low. She didn't listen and she wasn't paying attention. She was wallowing in her own sorrow and for the first time I realized that sorrow was caused by me. I tried to untie the ropes but it was no use.

"Wishing to get out doesn't help either," Felix said and I grunted.

"She's too smart for that. Untie my ropes and when I'm free, I'll get you out." Felix reached the ropes and untied them for me then I untied his. We both stood up and rubbed our wrists.

"She went to the beach." Felix said and I thanked him. "One question before you go, though."

"What is it?"

"Do you love her?"

I had to consider this. I really did love her, the pain in my stomach grew immediately when I repeated her name in my mind, and I now knew that pain was not a nerve telling me I was full, it was telling me I was in love. I gave him a short nod and he kept a straight face as he said,
"Then go, or she'll leave without you. And we don't want that, now do we?" I thanked him with a nod and ran to the beach.

I called her name as I approached the beach. Hook waited for me. "Pan, return to where you belong."

"Then you'll let me be with your daughter??" I asked, getting tired of his games.

"She's not in the mood to talk to anybody right now." Baelfire said and I smirked.

"Never thought that you two would work together after what happened with Emma." They exchanged a look and Baelfire punched my eye then took the chance and punched my stomach and I doubled over.

"Neal, what's going on out there, we have to go!" Lexi yelled then looked out a peep hole. "Oh...." S
she said and I stood up and held my eye, pushing the pain away as she walked off the ship and towards us. Hook grimaced at me but I put his disapproval aside and watched her walk over. Her outfit consisted of a strapless, blue corset that hugged her body perfectly, and a pair of short black shorts. The top would show some of her stomach as she walked because it would ride up a little. Her hair was a little messy but other than that, it curled naturally and framed her face beautifully. She kept a straight face and her lips formed a thin line.

"Alexandria, what are you-" Hook started, but Lexi cut him off.

"Wearing? It's just an outfit." Hook sighed and Lexi returned her attention to me.
"What are you doing here?" She scowled a little and she was no longer the little girl who ran into trees, made up songs about whatever was going on in her head or around her, or the little girl who would jump off the edge of the cliff and dive into the waterfall without giving it a seconds thought. She was not that little girl that I had shared so many fond memories with anymore. She was a teenager, a girl capable of love, a young woman who had loved and lost before and was trying to piece herself together- all by herself.

"Can we talk.... alone?" I asked and she sighed and shot a look at Bae and Hook. They both sent me glares and walked aboard the ship. I waited until they were out of hearing distance to talk. She looked at me expectantly and it was a look that could kill.

"Well?" She asked, growing impatient.

"Lexi, I just wanted to say that I'm really sorry. Not all of it was a lie. The shadow coming back was a lie and the fact that I said that I don't care for you is a lie- I do care. I care about you a lot."

She looked at me warily. "Well, go on, you've obviously got more to say, keep going."

"And I can't lose you. The water from the small waterfall, it doesn't let you leave the island. If you do, you die immediately. And I can't-"
