Compilation of One Shot Stories

Just like Peter Pan

Im Kate and iam an adventurous person. I like adventures thats why i dreamt to have one. I have two brothers James and Matt. They are silly all the time. We like to listen or read stories especially if it is all about adventures. Grandma, she always tell us stories about a certain guy named Peter Pan. I could say her stories are a bit tragic. And sometimes it is all the same.

There is a time where she told us that Peter Pan once loved a girl who was named Wendy. Me and my brothers are so shocked because we knew that Peter doesnt know what love is. She told us that Peter dont want to love that is why we are so shocked.

"WHAT? You told us that he dont want to feel love? Then now he loved someone?" James asked bewildered
Grandma didnt say anything she just smiled that made me more confused.
"my dear go to sleep enough stories for now" unexpectedly mom came in and kiss us goodnight

A few minutes later i still cant sleep. I cant sleep because of what grandma told us a while ago. I was busy thinking not until i heard a sob, i slowly got out of my bed and saw my grandma crying in the couch.

" grandma?" i slowly walk towards her
"oh hey dear why are still awake?" she asked trying to cover her puffy eyes
"are you alright? Why are you crying?" i didnt bother answering her question instead i answered her with another question.
" its nothing im alright" she told me
"grandma? Would you mind if i ask a question?" i asked politely
"sure i wont mind at all" she tried to smile but failed

"i was just wondering if Peter Pan and Wendy is real? I was curious because you are telling us stories as if you personally knew them especially Peter Pan" i asked her with confusion plastered in my face

She looked surprise with my question. She literally was taken a back with my question i guess.

"i knew i had to tell the truth. You are a clever one huh? Yes i personally know them" she answered not sure if she had to tell the truth.
"well i know this is impossible but are you the Wendy you are telling in your stories? The Wendy that Peter Pan used to love? I just came to that thought cuz obviously your name's Wendy and i can see the longing in your eyes everytime you tell us stories."

"no one told me you are this smart beautiful" she blurted out totally surprise of what i had just told her
I was just staring at her waiting for her to answer my questions.

"you are right iam the Wendy that Peter Pan used to love. The Wendy who chosed to grow up than be with Peter Pan in Neverland. The Wendy who hoped that one day Peter Pan would go here again and hear my stories." she told me that while looking in my eyes and i can see the tears that are threatening to fall. I was stunned for a moment because of what my grandmother told me. I just went to her and comforted her.

=3 years later=

My grandma died after a week of her revelation. We are so devastated because she's gone. She had been our sunshine eversince. No one knew the truth that she is the Wendy who Peter Pan used to love. It's just between the two of us. We kept it as our little secret. When she died i learned to make poems. I made many poems that are dedicated to her. During the burial of my grandma i met this guy named Arch. His last name is Pan and i find that very wierd. He is my bestfriend since that day. He told me his secrets like everything.

I could say he was like Peter Pan but a little different. He told me he used to hate being a grown up. He dont have any unhappy thoughts. He's always happy like he doesnt have any problems. He was like Peter Pan like really.

Through those years i learned to love him. I was planning to tell him today but i felt scared. I dont know why i just got this feeling that his going to leave me if i told him what i feel. But eventhough i have to tell him.

"Arch! I have something to tell you" i kind of hesitated at first but its now or never i have to do this.
"what is it? Go on dont hesitate" he answered smiling wide
" i- i uh i" ghad! Why am i so nervous?
"i? I what?" he asked confused because of my actions

"i love you arch i really do" and there i already said it
"what!? You cant Kate you really cant love me" i was surprised cuz he looked in rage
" wh- what? Why? Is there something wrong?" i asked really bewildered
" i said you cant love me Kate! I dont want you to love me i dont care if i love you too but i dont want this love! I cant love you! i dont want this feeling called love!" i can see that he is so angry about the fact that i love him

Slowly my tears are starting to fall he said he love me but he dont want to love. Why? Why cant he just say that he dont want me? Does he have to say that he love me but he doesnt want that feeling? I ran away from him. He's hurting me and i cant resist the pain. I got home and locked myself in my room.

" Kate? Hey im sorry a while ago about my outburst. Hey please open the door i wont ever get mad again. I promise" i knew it he followed me here ofcourse he would i already expected it.
"promise?" i was trying to ask if he is sure
"promise, now open this door and tell me some of your poems" he assured me
I open the door and he came in. We just spent our time talking and laughing like we are kids.

=1 year later=
Its been a year when i told him i love him. Nothing changed between us we are still friends but he knew that i love him and he loves me too but he dont want to admit it.

We are just sitting here at the bay watching the sunset, its been our hobby since we became bestfriends. Until he broke the silence by faking a cough.

"ehem" he faked a cough
" what's wrong? Are you planning to tell me something?" i ask cuz that is what he do when he needed to tell me something really important.

"i- i have to go back to Netherland. I have to go home" he told me worry is visible in his voice
"you're gonna leave me? Why?" i asked feeling hurt
"i-i had to, father told me to go back he want me to do something for the family that is very important." he explained
Oh i forgot he still have his family. He have responsibilities too now that his older brother is missing.

His brother is missing eversince he was 5 that was according to him. I really am confused cuz he said he was born like in 80's. Probably same age or quite younger with my grandma. That part is so confusing unless he had live in Neverland.

"i understand, you still have your responsibilites but are you coming back?" tears are starting to form in my eyes
"ofcourse i would be back. I have to go back and hear your poems" he said with a wide smile.

"You really are like your grandma. Im sure brother miss her and i miss her too, the lost boys mother" i dont know if its just me but he surely whispered that. Iam so sure he did and iam not being delusional.

=5 years later=
Its been years but he never came. He broke his promise. Iam just like my grandmother who hoped for her guy would come back. All my poems are ready to be read but the one who supposed to listen while i read is not coming back.

Im right he was just like Peter Pan. They are the same they cant keep their promise. I was right all the time they are the same. They both dont like to love and grow. They both dont have any unhappy thoughts. The only difference they have is Arch cant fly and he dont have any thinker bell as a bestfriend.

From the very start when i knew him and he started telling stories and his secrets he was like Peter Pan.

Arch Pan was just like Peter Pan
Because they are brothers
They both have the same blood
And they both left me and my grandma behind
