Im Not Wendy- Chapter 29

AN: Just because I love you and you deserve it for being so patient, two chapters in a day :)

*Narrator*

'Julie?'

And Julie lifted her gaze. She was in a hospital bed, in deplorable conditions. But the worst is, that, at that exact moment, a boy was kissing her. 

Both Julie and the boy's eyes widened. It was Ryland, from Captain Hook's recruits. Julie's face went blank in seconds, and her system began to fail. She wasn't used to those surprises. A group of fairies came the second they heard her, and helped her rest in a sleeping position, and Ryland managed all her tubes and medicines. 

In the meanwhile, Peter was still standing in the doorframe, shocked. The next thing he did, was throw a fist in Ryland's face, square to the jaw, tackling him unconscious. 

'PETER, NO!'- Was Julie's attempt to scream. Peter stopped. It was the first time in months he had heard her speak. She lied against her pillow, tears coming rapidly from her eyes. He could see her exactly now: Her face was carved in, her hair had no grace, and she didn't seem to have any fat on her body, as all her bones were visible and she was wrapped in many blankets. 

Before Peter had the chance to speak, Tinkerbell appeared, storming through the door. 

'PETER PAN, GET YOUR ASS OUT OF HERE!'- She tinkled. Her face was scarlet in anger, but Peter refused. 

'No, until someone explains what is happening here! What the heck is Ryland doing here? AND WHY WAS HE KISSING YOU?!'- He demanded, making them both flinch. Tinkerbell helped Ryland up, and left with him. 

'Julie, I demand an explanation'- He said. Julie's face went from a pained one to a furious one. She, despise the pain, sat up on the bed. 

'I do too!'- She screamed. Peter looked at her confusedly. 

'About what's going on? How all of a sudden, Wendy Darling reappears, and, I pass from being "the one you wanna marry" to a "helper"?'

Peter didn't know what to answer. 

'That's what I thought'- She said. The tears began flowing again.-'You don't know how much pain I've been in. Peter, you shattered my heart into millions of pieces.'- She sniffled.-'At first, it was fine with a few stitches. But then, no stitch or glue was enough to rebuild it. I spent so much nights, crying, begging for all of this to be a dream.'

'Why was Ryland kissing you'- Was the only thing he asked. 

'AND THAT'S WHAT YOU CARE ABOUT?!'- She was furious.-'WHAT DID YOU EXPECT ME TO DO, SIT THERE AND WATCH?'- She was struggling a little bit. 

'Ryland came in and fixed my heart. He gave me a little love I needed. He cared about me, no matter what Hook said. And you, in the meanwhile, were out there with the fake Wendy'- She said. Peter became defensive. 

'DON'T CALL HER FAKE!'- He screamed. 

'See? You still care!'- She cried.-'You see, Tinkerbell! He still cares!'- She screamed to the open door. They must've talked about the subject. 

'She reappeared into your life, and you forgot about me. I devoted my whole life to you, Peter Pan! I gave up my entire life to at last make my dreams come true. Being with you. Those years, were my golden years. You didn't care about her. You cared about me.'- She wiped off a tear-'That girl, is not Wendy Darling. That girl is Jessalyn. From Hook's recruits.'- She said. Peter's face was transfigured. 

'What?'

'She's the one who disguised into me to make you believe I was kissing Ryland. She was given a potion to become an exact replica of Wendy. Hook planned all of this.'

'How do you know this?'

'Ryland told me everything. Gosh, I could be alive and living in London right now'

'Julie...'- He started.-'Im, so sorry, and I...'

'Sorry doesn't cut it, Peter.'- She said harshly.-'I ended up here again because of you. Because you made me see you cared about her still, when you promised me you didn't. The Wendy Darling is living in London, all grown up, as you saw her in the window the night you returned to me. But you couldn't let it go, couldn't you. Im not Wendy, I will never be.'

'But Julie, I...'

'I expected you. I was willing to forgive. But I can't. Not yet. Not when someone else has given me the love your oblivion destroyed. My heart could be fixed, but the bullet hole, in which all the pain remains, will always be there.'- She ended. 

'I don't know what to say.'- He said. He was speechless.

'Don't say anything. Just, leave. And when im willing to forgive you, I will. But I want you to experience, to think, of all the pain you've caused me over the last 128 days. Yes, I've counted them. Four months and eight days. Quite a lot, isn't it.'- She said. He nodded. 

'Just... leave.'- She said, and Peter, turning around, left the room, not without wiping a tear of his own eyes as he left.
