Robbie Kay / Peter Pan Imagines

Fate

Peter Pan POV

I looked deeply in her hazel colored eyes. They were shining more than usual as tears made their way down her cheeks. Besides the heartbroken image, she kept on a smile.

I was speechless, I couldn't get a word out of me. It felt like my heart was shattering to pieces. My throat hurt even when I tried breathing in. My sobs were on edge, but I didn't want her to see me cry, not in her last moments.

She looked so peaceful laying in my arms, I wouldn't have believed she was leaving soon. As much as I resented it, I could not do anything about it. It was as if she had a glitch. Her looks on Neverland stayed the same, but her soul aged, her mind and everything inside. It caused for her life to come to an end, even when she spent her life on Neverland.

She denied my help, she even forbid me. My Love didn't want me to do anything about it. She wanted me to enjoy the time I had left with her and then accept her fate.

And so I did.

The days flew by faster than I had hoped, her end came too fast. I haven't felt more heartbroken in my life, but I tried to make her last day the most precious.

We were laying on the ground under the beautiful starry night sky, while I carefully wrapped a blanket around her small fragile body. We both couldn't enjoy the stars as we kept looking at each other. Eyes full with tears.

I couldn't find the strength to smile, but she had no difficulties doing so. Her smile was the prettiest thing my eyes had ever observed. It was something I cherished at all times.

My face was neutral, besides the sadness showing off. I kept staring at her, wiping away her tears and caressing her cheek with my thumb.

It hurt.

I had wished not ever to be in that situation, but as soon as I thought of that I took it back. I wouldn't have known the happy years I had with her hadn't it been for that moment.

I was genuinely happy with her and if fate decided to take her away from me after showing me all the good, then so be it. I wouldn't have been the man I was that day if she didn't show up in my life.

My heart would never forget her and I was prepared for the painful days after. I would put myself together some day, because I knew she would want it that way.

"Peter," her soft weakened voice called out to me. I was staring at her rosy lips, before meeting her eyes. Her hand raised up to my face, wiping away my tears.

"Thank you," she whispered and as I heard her voice crack, more tears left my eyes. I shook my head lightly as I took her hand. My lips slightly curled up attempting to put on a smile.

She had nothing to thank for. There wasn't much I had done for her. She had done much more, she showed me things I had already forgotten about. She brought up things I hid behind a wall, and I couldn't have been more grateful for that.

I wanted to tell her otherwise, but she interrupted.

"for loving me," she finished as she smiled at me.

"The years that I've known you were the most beautiful of them all, no other boy would've been able to make me this happy," her voice cracked again at the end of her sentence, leaving a sob.

"I am very grateful for you, the more so for spending time with me, for showing me what love is," she nodded slightly as I felt her hand tighten around mine.

"You showed me what real love is, Peter," her voice hitched, but she didn't stop looking in my eyes. I started to feel cold as pain spread through my body.

It hurt more when realization hit me. I knew I hadn't much time left with her anymore. But besides wanting to try anything to keep her with me, I kept quiet.

"I love you, and I will always remember you, Peter Pan," she leaned towards me and kissed my lips. Hers were a little colder than they used to be, but I didn't let it bother the moment. I gently grabbed her cheek as I kissed her back.

When she pulled back I couldn't control myself and a sob left my mouth. I felt vulnerable, but didn't care. All I wanted to do was cry in her arms, I wanted her to take care of me. But that wasn't the right moment anymore.

"I love you too, Darling," it left as a whisper as I didn't want my voice to crack. Her eyes sparkled by my words and she smiled once again.

Her arms wrapped themselves around my torso and I didn't hesitate to wrap mine around her.

We both enjoyed each other's company, all I could think about was her. I focused on her head against my chest, my nose smelled her scent, my hands caressed her back. I planted a small kiss on her head.

It didn't take long before her grip started to loosen. My eyes shut tight as I started crying out loud.

My heart sunk and my chest started aching as I knew she wasn't there with me anymore.
