Wendy woke up in shock, drenched in sweat and with her heart hammering in her chest she sat up in her bed and thought back on her dream.

It was all too really, her lips still tingled from the Kiss, Peter— Peter?

She could feel the desperation grow in her chest as she ran out of her room and knocked firmly on her brothers doors.

"John? Micheal? Please open!"

No answer.

She almost tumbled down the stairs in her hurry, what time was it? Surely they were awake, they were usually such early birds..

She stopped in her track, shocked by the sight in front of her and with her mouth hanging slightly ajar she couldn't help herself but stare.

In front of her was her whole family, having toast with marmalade, and amongst them sat Peter. In a fresh t-shirt, jeans and vans.

"There she is, such a heavy sleeper" her mom giggled as she was the first to notice Wendy standing in the doorway.

"I—" she started but couldn't finish her sentence.

"You okay there Darling?" Peter asked worriedly "you're still up for going to the park right?"

She could only nod. "I'm just going to go change?" I sounded more like a question than anything but she still turned away, smiling happily as she finally had her whole family, and everyone she loved, around the same table.

Big thank you to everyone who has read voted and commented on this story over the long while I've been writing it, the process has been slow as I've worked with a few different projects on the side but I'm finally ready to mark it as complete! I hope you liked this short story as much as I enjoyed writing it and please feel free to stop by my other works :)

Thank you once again!
Love, Selena

Also very ironically, tomorrow (one hour after I post this) I'm turning 18 and will no longer be a child. I will have finally grown up. Hah, funny how life works :)
