Neverland and Peter Pan

Chapter 18

That day ended with me leaving with Peter and our Lost Boys. We waited till all the guests left. Queen Clarion informed her top security of my leaving. To my surprise I saw Gabriel was one of her guards. He gave me a look of dissapointment but I shurgged it off. Gabriel didn't make a move to say anything nor did I. I'm where I want to be. I'm witht he guy I want and he wants me back.  

Once we finally left, Peter got a head start, to get my stuff back into his tent and Lisa's into mine. He said he was going to make a completely new tent for our fresh start. Lisa was more than fine with that arrangment. In fact, she decided to stay over in the fairy territory with her new friend, with Peter and Clarion's permission of course. By time the lost boys and I got back to camp, Peter was waiting for me in his tent. He held something behind his back.

"What do you have there, Peter?"

He was beaming and told me to come closer,

"Come here and find out." His tone was very playful. I did as he said, but I got very close. I was no more than a foot away from him.

"Close your eyes, love." His voice was sweet and I did as he said. Standing absolutly still, I heard him shift something from behind his back. A small smile on my lips.

"Ok, now open you eyes." 

I did. I saw that he was holding a notebook and a key. Lost for words, I was very curious but not disappointed.

"What are they for?"

Peter smiled deeply and handded them to me. Flipping through the notebook, I saw that it was written and drawn in, right to the very last page. The first page was a drawing of me. It was very detailed and lifelike, even without color. I was playing the violin in the drawing. The next page was a pure description of the way I played and how it made Peter feel. I held in my hands.......Peter's version of a diary. I looked from him to the book in awe.

"I didn't know you could draw....you drew me?"

"This whole notebook is about you Lily. After I sorta started avoiding you, I couldn't get you out of my mind and started drawing and writing about everything you did that made me feel somoething good."

"Have I ever made you feel something bad?" 

Peter shook his head then nodded,

"Well, I was a bit jealous a few times. When you were in that tree with Gabriel, when you were dancing with everyone at your party before we made up, and when you left I just felt shocked and depressed."

I gently laid Peter's notebook and key on his bed. Coming so close to him I could feel his chest breathing. Wrapping my arms around his neck, I gently kissed him. But Peter kissed me again with more urgency. Thankfully, he didn't kiis me for long. I asked him,

"So, what's this key for?"

Peter sat on his bed and pulled me onto his lap.

"This, Lily, is the key to my heart. I know it sounds like a cheesy romance line but I'm serious. If you knew how to use this key, it can save my life."

"How do I use it?" I asked immediately. Peter shrugged,

"That's the one thing I don't know. But I trust it in your hands my love."

I hugged Peter for a while after that. We didn't come out for the rest of the night. We were catching up on things. What it was like for me at the fairies home and how damaged I was when I came close to changing. Peter listened with alert and made countless apologies which I accepted. He also said he loved me a lot as well. And a few times.....I said it back. I meant it everytime I said it.

In my mind I felt things click between Peter and I. I felt a connection that bound him to me. all I could hope for was that he felt the connection as well. He's so happy right now and so am I. I hope it lasts. Ihope Gabriel is wrong about him. The way Peter is looking into my eyes, there's no way he's faking it or going to lose the feeling anytime soon.

Peter and I fell asleep in eachothers arms as Peter whispered he loved me once more. But deep in my mind as I was drifting asleep, there was something I knew I neeeded to tell him and I don't know what it is. I'll just have to figure it out later.
