It didn't take long for the group of teens to get back to Granny's after they were dismissed from school. While Everly, Sam, and Katherine went to change out of their school uniforms, Jackson took one of the empty booths to save them seats. Once his three friends got back down into the diner, the Overland boy went to order them something to eat. As soon as he rejoined them, the four teens started the mountain of homework they were assigned.
Despite being invited to join their study session, Henry sat alone at the counter. Everly ignored her work and stared at her troubled nephew as he pretended to do the assignment in front of him. Ever since Regina began avoiding him, the Mills boy lost the sparkle in his eye. The Purest Heart didn't blame him for it but she was worried for him. She hadn't seen him like this since they were on Neverland.
"So, are you and Jacob buddies now?" Sam asked, making the blonde girl turn her attention away from her nephew to look at him.
"I wouldn't say 'buddies' but we let bygones be bygones," Everly replied before answering one of the problems on her homework, unaware of the curious look Jackson was sending her.
"What exactly happened between you two?" Katherine questioned before the Overland boy's name was called by the server behind the counter, causing the boy in question to get up to get their food.
"Nothing really happened between us. He was a loyal follower of Pan," Everly stated as she thought back to all the times she encountered the taller Overland brother.
"I guess that makes sense," the Scott girl responded before going back to her homework, only to look back up at the blonde girl a second later with a large smirk on her face, "what about you and Jackson?"
The redheaded girl's question caused Everly to freeze before she slowly looked up to meet her friend's mischievous gaze. "What about me and Jackson?"
"Are you serious?" Sam asked with a playful smile on his face after he noticed the confused look on the Jones girl's face, "it's obvious you two had more history than even I know about."
"We were allies on Neverland. That's all it is. Nothing more, nothing less."
The two of them sent Everly unconvinced looks in response before masking them with playful smiles when Jackson came back with a large plate of fries. As Sam, Katherine, and Jackson went back to their homework and ate their food, Everly's mind went back to one of the only people on Neverland she trusted with her life. It had been almost two years since she lost Felix to the boy who never grew up. For some, that would be enough time to move on with their life. They would've started over and found someone else to make them happy. But for Everly, it was far too soon. She wasn't ready to move on...and she didn't think she ever would be.
