Emily POV

Once I got dropped off at my house by Austin. I ran inside and ran up to my room. I grabbed my black tights and dark purple long sleeved dress. I put it on grabbing an overcoat and putting my make up in my bag. I was going to the club. Not because I was meeting somebody there. Because I sing there every night.

Once I had my bag packed I walked downstairs and put on my black heels. I walked outside and got in my car. I drive over to the club, shakers. Once I got there I parked behind the building and went in the back entrance. I walked in and saw James. James was the announcer on the club. Me and him were close, he was like a brother to me.

"What's up Emily. Or should I say Mystery." He said while hugging me. I just laughed and started walking to my dressing room. I unlocked the door and started unpacking my bag. I got out my makeup and curling iron. I took off my jacket and wig, and started curling my natural hair. Singing was the only thing that kept me from just dying my hair or cutting it all off, me as mystery wasn't ashamed of my hair. I quickly finished by adding some blush and lipstick.

I walked over to my table and grabbed some sparkly jewelry. I also grabbed my mask. Yes I wore a mask, but singing was my release and I didn't want anyone to know it was me up there. I put on the mask and went to look at myself in the mirror. The dress hugged my curves and my mask was just sparkly and black.

I heard a knock on the door.

"Who is it," I called out.

"James. Your on."

I walked out and walked to the stage. The bright lights hit me and I went over to the microphone and started singing.

There was a time when I was alone
Nowhere to go and no place to call home
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 flying high
He came to me with the sweetest smile
Told me he wanted to talk for awhile
He said, "Peter Pan, that's what they call me
I promise that you'll never be lonely, " and ever since that day

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

Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, Wendy Darling
Even Captain 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
