e l e v e n : lost days

I am a lost boy from Neverland
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we're bored we play in the woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
"Run, run, lost boy," they say to me,
"Away from all of reality."
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free

"I just got a call from my uncle. My aunts in a coma."

"What? Seriously?" I say as I craw up to the foot of my bed

"Yea. We have to go to the hospital now." Zay says

"But Zay, I have to take these pictures for my art project I can't go."

"Since when are you so interested in school? You never cared before when you were failing. Now of all times your grade actually means something to you?!" He says

I sit back and become slightly sad. That hurt a little.

"I'm sorry Maya. I didn't mean that I just -"

"I get it. Go. I'll just, ask Lucas for a ride." I say getting up

"But Lucas doesn't know."

"Well he's gonna find out. It's okay, I'll make sure he isn't too mad." I say

"Well okay. I'm gone. I'll see you later. Stay alive." He says then squeezes my hand.

"Although we live to die." I say back. It's a new tradition we started between us.

I pull out my phone and dial his number, "Hey Lucas? Can you come pick me up?... No don't tell Riley."

"Hey Huckleberry!" I say I climb in his new car. "You finally got a car."

"Yup." He says rubbing the staring wheel. "So why did you need a ride? Don't you have a car?"

"Well... I need a ride to... a hospital." I say looking straight forward

"Why? Is something wrong with you? Are you hurt ? Where's Zay?"

"No,no I'm not hurt. That's what I need to talk to you about."

"Oh, really?"

"Yea... maybe you should start driving." I say

"Okay." He says as he puts the key in the ignition and starts to drive

"So. Zay is staying at my house, as you know. And the reason is that, his uncle is an alcoholic."

"Oh no."

"And he abuses his aunt. And sometimes."

"Don't tell me."

"He abuses him."

"I guess this is why Zay made you tell me."

"What do you mean?"

"I guess you can say, I kind of have a...um...soft spot for you." He says making a turn
