The Lost Love

6 The Lost Girl.

When you hug someone, you don't always expect them to hug you back, or at least I don't. This was not normal, I was hugging one of my favorite Disney characters, but he is real, not like the one from the Disney Park in California, this is so strange, so unexpected. The thing that surprised me the most was that he actually hugged me back. Bloody hell, he hugged me tighter, lift me from the floor and 'danced' with me for a moment. I didn't know if I wanted to laugh or cry, this is very, very unexpected. But what was I supposed to do now? Peter Pan is in my room, there are messages in my wall, written by his shadow, he was smiling like a little boy in Christmas morning.

I pulled from the g=hug slowly, wanting to get some answers from him.

"I can't believe it's you. I though..."

"That I was not real? Love, you can say that a thousand times, but I will still be here. I am as real as you are. Now, where were we?" he clapped his hands once and smiled goofily.

"Can I ask what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in Neverland? With the Lost Boys?" I asked him, really wanting to gets my answers. Why is he here?

"Oh, the boys are just fine! Felix is taking care of them. I came here for you!" he smirked when he stand up from my bed and took a step closer to me, making me take a step back. "No need to be afraid sweetheart. I mean no harm."

"Why- what do you mean that you are here for me?" I asked, trying to hide my nervousness from him. Maybe I had a crush on him my whole life, but I knew what he was capable of, so I am not taking any chances.

"You see, I have seen you plenty of times in Neverland. Of course when you are dreaming, but I can see that your spirit belongs there, not here. Am I right?"

He was right, when I traveled to Neverland in my dreams, I felt free and loved. Almost anyone remembered me. Pan, Felix, and a small boy named Collin were the ones who remembered me, and I remembered them because I had always wrote my journeys to Neverland in a small notebook.

"Okay... You are right. Neverland is like a home to me, but I can't go there really. I am trapped in this world. But, what do you really want?" I asked him. Clearly, he was not her for a review of Neverland.

"I want you to come with me." He said smiling and holding both my hands. Why was I so nervous? My legs were lightly shaking and I could feel my heart racing.

"You- you what? Why?" I asked confused.

"Because, I want you to. You are special Juliette. Every time I hear your name in Neverland, it kills me and little Collin that you are not there with us!"

"If I go with you to Neverland, what? I become a "Lost Girl"? What about my mom?" I loved my mom, but not that much. She gave me life and everything I have. But she didn't actually loved me more than anything. So, yeah. I could leave her here to live the life she always wanted and not worry about another mouth to feed.

"The Lost Girl? I like the sound of that." He said smiling even more. Jesus Christ, this guy smiles way too much, but it's wonderful! "So, what do you think? Want to be a Lost Girl? Collin dies to meet you formally..."

"I-I- Wait, what does Collin know about me? I played hide and seek twice with him, just that. I don't actually know him that well."

"He is lonely there, I do my best for him to feel in home. But the love of a mother is what he needs." He said looking intensely at my eyes, then at my lips. Please kiss me, please, please, please.

"He wants me to be his mother? And what are you? His father?" I asked laughing a little.

"Yeah, basically. Let's be Collin's parents from Neverland."

The way he said all of this, like if it was so normal to come and say to a girl, "Hey! I am Peter Pan, but the handsome one, not the one from the Disney movie. You want to come to Neverland with me, be a Lost Girl, and the mother of a small kid?" Hell no! But that is all I ever wanted. I was not loved in this place, I was lost and I wanted someone to found me. And that was Pan.

"You could've at least asked me to marry you..." I said joking.

"No problem, but let's make it official. Run away with me!" he said.

How could I say no to the boy I have loved since I could remember? But I had to be careful, even if he was acting like a good boy, he had his dark side. We both knew this because of his story, he had shared it with me in purpose. He wanted me to say those two words to go away with him. There has to be something extra I in here.

"Why me? I am just a normal girl from 'Boring Hills' that casually knows everything about you. Why do I know all of this?"

"That is exactly why you are the one. But if you come with me to Neverland, you could forget about this life." He hold me by my waist and he pulled me closer, making our foreheads touch. "You are just perfect."

"Peter..." I breathed hard and closed my eyes for a second. "I know nothing about how to be a Lost Girl or a mother. I am fourteen years old, you on the other side... You look like you are sixteen or seventeen, but we know your story. How am I supposed to do the Lost Girl/Mother job?"

"Your age is not a problem. I- we choose you because of who you are. You want to be older a year or two? Done. If you come with me, you will have everything you ever wanted." He said, looking me at the eye, not letting me go.

"Okay..." I whispered.

"You just have to say those words, and we will be ready to go." He smiled, the window's door opened as he walked towards them.

"Peter, is there Wi-Fi in Neverland?" I HAD TO ASK, OKAY?

"Anything you want." And he left, flying away from my house, waiting for me in the branch of a tree. "So... Are you coming? My shadow will take you like he does with every other new Lost Boy."

"Huh- I can do this. Just, don't look down, don't look done. Oh fuck, it's too high." I entered my room quickly." I be there in a minute, I just need to process everything." I said to Pan.

"I can wait forever for you." I heard him say.

I didn't have a list of thing that I wanted to take to Neverland, but the journal was definitely going with me. So, journal, cellphone, earphones, charger (Is there any electricity in Neverland?), book, pens, scarfs. Ready to go. Food, well, if the legend is true I will get anything I want in Neverland If I believe.

"Okay... Just say the words. It's easy." I breathed hard, and close my eyes once more. "I believe." I said in my window, looking at Pan and then at the stars.
