"Never say never"

Never

I woke up in a bed, alone. Voices were heard outside the door. "Felix?" I whisper as all I seem able to do. I stand up and see I'm wearing a nightgown. I don't own any of these. Who the hell dressed me? I try to open the door but it doesn't budge. Wait. I look around at my surrounding and take in the structure of the room, this is a cabin on a boat. Or more importantly a boat. What happened? I bang on the door, hoping to be heard. "Mom! Felix! Henry! Peter! Anyone." I whimper, falling to the ground. My head is banging, my arm feels like it's been chopped off and my side feels like I was cut in half. I crawl back to bed and lay there, tears stinging at my eyes. And all of a sudden, there is a creak in the door. I don't look at the intruder, just act as if I'm asleep. They walk closer and sit on the edge of the bed. He, I've decided it's a he since his footsteps were so heavy and ungraceful. He brushes my cheek with the back of his hand, at this I grab his hand add twist his arm behind his back. "Where are we? And who's boat is this?" I question. He chuckles, which pisses me off, but also reminds me of someone. "Felix?" I ask, spinning him around. He laughs in my face and kisses my forehead. I grip him with my one good arm as tightly as possible and this time without a doubt he hugs back. "I thought you were dead." I cry. "Well I had to keep a very important promise so I couldn't die yet." He smirks, and lays me back down in bed, lying beside me. "I love you too." I whisper as my eyes close slowly, embracing sleep.

"That's so cute. How come she calls for her boyfriend instead of her mom. Still aren't they cute." "Guys I get it we're cute. But you suck at whispering." I groan, moving to sit up but Felix's arm is over my waist. I lie back down and stare up at my family peering down at me. "Where are we going?" I ask, quietly. "Back to Neverland!" An excited Michael yells running into the room. He bounces on the bed between me and Felix. "Oh kid, watch the arm." I laugh. "Morning buddy. Morning beauty." Felix moans kissing my forehead, not knowing my family is watching. "Morning everyone else." He says awkwardly, after grandpa Charming clears his throat. "You all can go now. Do whatever you guys do on a boat." I mumble, not trying to be rude. Snow throws me a wink and ushers everyone out. Everyone other than Michael and Felix. "Where are the rest of the boys?" I ask. "We lost a few, not dead just lost in the jungle. But the rest should just be in other cabins." Felix explains. "And what about Peter? And Wendy? I never wished her good luck." I mumble. "Wendy has this many brothers." Michael says, holding up 2 fingers. "And one of them has the same name as me. I met both of them." "And Peter is in the cabin across the hall." Felix points to the side he's on. I crawl out of bed and hobble over. "Peter? You got what you wanted. I never got to fight your battle." I admit. He looks at me and does his signature smirk. "Shae your not the brightest are you? You had your own battle. Did you not fight Black Beard and save all my boys? Did you not protect little Michael as I asked?" He questions. I nod, looking at my feet. "So you are the bravest and best lost boy I've ever had." He laughs. I hug him being careful of his wounds and mine. "Thanks Peter. For everything."
"Do you wanna come up with me?" I ask Felix. He nods and helps me up and up the stairs, towards the deck. Where I'm bombarded with questions and hugs and thank you. "Stop! I didn't do anything that big. I know you guys would've done the same for me." I mutter and walk back downstairs. I shut the door and lay in bed. A knock on the door doesn't affect me but I mumble "come in." And in comes Emma. "Can we talk?" She asks, sitting down. "This is obviously hard to say, but when the boys are back on Neverland, I think you should come back to Storybrook." She says, quietly. I stare at her in shock and disbelief. "Why? I was doing just fine on the island with the boys." I say, raising my voice. "Because I'm in charge and I'm saying I think Storybrook needs you more than a bunch of boys." She finalizes. Once she leaves the room I scream into the pillow. "Something wrong?" "What do you want Henry?" I mutter, angrily. "Mom is right you know? About us in Storybrook needing you. You should come home," he smiles. I hear every word he just said but I can't process any thoughts. Except for one. "And why does everyone think that? I have family on Neverland. Neverland is like my other home. I like it there. I like the people." I smile. Felix flashes in my mind. "And honestly Henry you 2 made it through so much without me, I don't think you really do." I say, sarcastically. "Now if you don't mind I'm kinda tired." He frowns and stands up to leave, a bang comes from the door as he slams it shut. I groan into the pillow and fall asleep once again.
"Wake up sleepy head." Felix whispers. I have never ever ever thought of my boyfriend to be a sweetheart or whatever, but since I've woken up that is all he is. To me at least. He still kinda has a cold shell to the others but we're working on it. I rub my eyes and yawn, sitting up next to him. "It's time to change your bandages." He mentions, going to get the clean ones. He first cleans then rewraps my arm, then head. He goes for my stomach but stops. I look down and realize where the cut actually is. "I could get someone else if you want." He asks, turning red. I laugh on the inside. "No it's fine, I don't really wanna wait with these dirty ones." I reply. He lifts up my shirt and begins unwrapping. "Shae I-" Emma walks in and stares blankly for a moment. "That's it your definitely coming back with me to Storybrook. And Neverland is a no go." I hop up screwing the dirty bandages. "Emma no wait, you don't even know what happened." I yell, hobbling after her. The night sky is filled with stars as she heads up onto the deck. "Yes I do, there was a teenage boy undressing you in your room. Shae I think I can put the pieces together." She yells. Everyone turns to look. "Boys could you go below deck, for just a minute?" I ask for the lost boys. "I don't get why you want them to leave, this conversation is over, no more Neverland." Emma sasses. "Why won't you just listen? He didn't do anything wrong. Neither of us did." I yell. "Mary Margaret! You have to agree with me, we didn't do anything. We weren't going to." I plead. Mary Margaret just stands behind Emma and looks down. "So you agree with her? Do all of you agree with her? Nearly my entire family and not one sided with me." Everyone suddenly looks to their feet. I chuckle sarcastically. Felix peaks his head on deck. "Shae you might wanna listen, she is your mother. Trust me I understand how mothers can react to losing a kid." He whisper. "No Felix, I will not just agree with her. I haven't done anything wrong, and neither have you. She just doesn't wanna listen cause she's afraid of being wrong." I answer sharply back. He ducks under deck again and I hear his footsteps walking away. "Shae If you go back to Neverland I'll... I'll kill Henry." Emma threatens curious to see my answer. "Then I guess I'm staying on Neverland. You wouldn't kill Henry anyways, he's the only kid you have left." I growl and walk downstairs to my room. Felix isn't there so I change the bandages myself, even though it hurts. I lay down and cry into my pillow for a good half hour. There's a knock on the door and I sit up and rub my eyes. "Are you Felix?" There's a no. "Are you family?" "To some extent." Peter says, opening the door. "I heard what happened, even off Neverland I know everything that happens." He smirks. "Yea whatever, I'm pretty sure people back in Storybrook heard that argument." I groan. "I want you on Neverland Shae, I really do but I don't want to start a war with your entire family." He suggests. "You think I should give in too. You know what maybe I will. Give her exactly what she wants." I mutter. "Just think about it." He pleads. I nod and lay flat on my back. Maybe if I leave then she'll loosen up on the no Neverland thing. Maybe this isn't all bad.
