Love will still remain

Chapter 26

"What are you reading?" She glances back up at me.

"Peter pan." And just like that she's back to the book. Teenagers.

"I'm familiar with the story." I say, trying to get her attention again. She looks up once again and closes the book. Success!

"It's one of my favorites." She says with a rare smile.

"And what is it you like about the story?"

"The lost boys."

"Oh? And why is that?"

"Well, I just really relate to them." She looks down. "They were lost, and lonely. They didn't have a family to love them, and they didn't belong. But then they met Peter Pan, and suddenly they have a family. I wish that would really happen." The last part she said under her breath... but I still heard it. My heart fell to my stomache. She feels like she doesn't have a family. shes been through so much, she doesn't know what a family really is. Neither do I. It's something we both crave, but can't have.

"Well... I'll let you get back to reading." She gives me another small smile before continuing to read.

I head up the stairs, trying to ease my mind. I go to give Christine her book, grabbing a red rose from a vase as I go. I gently knock on the door once, before entering. I offer a small smile to Christine as I enter, holding the flower behind my back. She just looks at me in shock. I guess she thought I was mad at her as well. I hand her the book.

"I thought you might want to read." I whispered.

"Thanks." She said looking down. I took this opportunity to kiss her forehead, and slide the rose onto her lap. With that I turned out of the room.

I need to compose. Music will help get my mind off of everything that is happening. I start to head to my domain when I overhear some music from the library. The doors are closed, so I sneak closer and listen to Gwens beautiful playing. The piano is positioned so that the players back is to the door, so I carefully open the door a small crack, to see her and hear better. She's fully engrossed with the music and I feel a swell of pride.

As I listen I hear her begin an opening to song. I've never heard it before so I close my eyes to listen, but they suddenly snap open again when I hear her voice.

There was a time
When I was alone
No where to go
And no place to call home...

I couldn't believe my ears... Gwen was singing, and wasn't stuttering!

My only friend was the man in the moon
And even sometimes he would go away too.

Then one night as I closed my eyes
I saw a shadow, flyin high
He came to me with the sweetest smile
Told me wanted to talk for a while

He said...
Peter Pan that's what they me,
I promise that you'll never be lonely
And ever since that day...

I am a lost boy from never land
Usually hanging out with
Peter Pan
And when we're bored we play in the woods
Always on the run from
Captian hook

Run run lost boy
They say to me
Away from all of reality

Never land is home to lost boys like me and lost boys like me are free

Never land is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free

He sprinkled me in pixie dust and told me to believe
Believe in him
And believe in me

Together we will fly away in a cloud of green,
To your beautiful destiny
As we soared above the town that never loved me,
I realized I finally had a family

Soon enough we reached Neverland,
Peacefully my feet hit the sand,
And ever since that day...

I am a lost boy from never land
Usually hanging out with
Peter Pan
And when we're bored we play in the woods
Always on the run from
Captian 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

Neverland is home to lost boys like me and lost boys like me are free

Peter Pan
Tinker Belle
Wendy darlin
Even Captian Hook, you are my perfect story book

Neverland I love you so,
You are now my home sweet home,
Forever a lost boy at last

Peter Pan
Tinker Belle
Wendy Darlin
Even Captian Hook, you are my perfect story book

Neverland I love you so,
You are now my home sweet home,
Forever s lost boy at last

And for always I will say...

I am a lost boy from never land
Usually hanging out with
Peter Pan
And when we're bored we play in the woods
Always on the run from
Captian hook

Run run lost boy
They say to me
Away from all of reality

Never land is home to lost boys like me and lost boys like me are free

Once she was done I couldn't move or breathe. I couldn't believe what I just heard. The song was so beautiful and just explained Gwen. Her voice was unearthly, and it sounds as if she had been training for years. Her voice had so much potential... and she didn't stutter! I knew there was hope for her!

I silently get up and shut the door to the library, sneaking off to my music room. I am going to get through to gwen, if it's the last thing I do.

---------------------------------------------

Hey yall! So the song is 'lost boy' by Ruth B. I absolutely love this song and I wanted to incorporate it because I just felt like it really did seem like something Gwen would write for herself to sing. I highly encourage you to listen to it. I love it!!!!

Gwen didn't stutter!!! We are having breakthroughs! Woohoo!!! I'm so excited to start writing Gwen's 'rebirth' as she becomes more excepting. It's gonna be good!

And we can't forget Meg.... What is your opinion on Meg? Do you like her, and want me to keep her around, or would her prefer her to not be in the story. I'm leaving this one up to you guys. So if you absolutely have to have Meg in the story then I will add her to the plot, but if not I can easily write her out. Whatever YALL would be more interested in.

Okay I'm done takin up your time. Hope yall are enjoying the book, and don't forget to leave me comments! ( love those!) thanks!!
