Somewhere In Neverland

Wendy’s POV

I find it kinda funny that my Mom didn’t remember Alex, since she met him one night when everyone was over and she got off work. But then again, I understand, as she was really tired that night from all the work she had been doing.
We were all currently sitting in the living room of my house, just talking and hanging out. Jack and Kara were playing Call Of Duty, and Rian and Zack were betting on who would win. As for Alex and I, we were cuddled up together on the couch. I have been thinking lately, and I think the best thing I ever did was forgive Alex. Since we got back together, he has done nothing but treat me like a queen, plus he told me that he dropped all contact with Lisa, even though I told him he didn’t have to do that for me. But, it just proves how much of a great guy he is, and I couldn’t help but feel like the most special person in the world when he is around, mostly because he treats me like I am. I looked back up at the tv screen just as Kara killed Jack one last time, taking home the win.

“Jack! How could you lose to her?! Zack and I both were betting on you!” Rian complained.

“Hey, don’t underestimate my sister. The girl is a badass when it comes to this game.” I said with a giggle. Kara stood up from her spot and walked over to me, and we gave each other a high-five. “Good job, girl.”

“Thanks Wen.” She said with a huge smile. Just as she was about to sit down, the doorbell rang.

“I’ll get it.” I said about to stand up.

“No. Sit, I’ll get it.” Alex said as he placed a kiss on my forehead and stood up. He walked away from the couch and put his hand on the door handle and opened up the door.

“Alex!” I say, getting his attention.

“Yes Wendy?” He asked looked over at me as he stood with the door open.

“Oh, nothing. Just wanted to say I love you.” I said with a smile.

“Glad to hear it. I love you, too.” He said with a chuckle and a shake of his head. “Can I help you sir?”

“Yes, I’m here to see Wendy and Kara.” The voice of a man said. But I knew who that voice belonged to. I looked over at Kara, and I could see a look on her face, she was younger when it happened, but I knew she knew the voice as well.

“Uh, yeah. Come on in, they are right over there.” Alex spoke, stepping to the side to let him in. I jumped up from the couch and Kara ran over to me and hugged my side.

“Okay, I don’t like the look of that. What’s wrong Kara?” Jack asked. She took one look back at Jack and let go of me and went over to him and threw herself in his arms. “Whoever this guy is. I don’t like him.” Jack growled. I chuckled at his response. Alex shut the door and walked over to my side as I stared the guy down, trying my best to control my anger.

“Wendy. It’s so nice to see you again.” He said with a smile. I felt my blood boil at the sight of him, and I knew Alex could tell.

“Babe, who is he?” He asked as he put an arm around my waist and brought me into his side.

“He’s our Father.” I growled.

“Well, now I have a right to hate a guy I just met.” Alex spoke as he looked back up at the man standing about ten feet away.

“What the hell are you doing here? How did you even find us?!” I shouted over to him as I took a few steps closer to him.

“You don’t have a right to raise your voice to me, Wendy Elizabeth.” He spoke.

“You don’t have the right to tell me what I can and can’t do, Roy Mason.” I shot at him.

“Wendy-” I cut him off.

“No. You listen here you piece of shit. You think you have the right to come here and act like everything is aye-okay? Well guess what prick?! It’s not okay! You’re nothing but a low-life shit that needs to leave my house right this minute!” I screamed. Wow I was pissed. First Nate, now him, things just keep getting better and better.

“I will not leave. You are my daughter-”

“Bull shit I’m your daughter! Yeah, you may be the person that supplied the sperm, but you were never a Father to me! Or even to Kara!” I watched as he took a step to the side and looked at Kara, behind me who was still in Jack’s embrace. I turned around and saw Jack glaring at my Dad like he would jump up and murder him at any moment.

“Kara, sweetheart, come here.” Roy spoke with a smile. I looked at Kara and she broke from Jack’s embrace as he stood up, and she went behind him. “Kara, hunny, I’m not going to hurt you. Come here.”

“She will not come near you.” Jack growled. I chuckled at Jack’s over protectiveness and nodded my head to him with a small smile.

“And just who are you?” Roy asked Jack.

“I’m a friend of Wendy and Kara. They are both like my sisters, and I suggest you leave.”

“No thanks. I’m good.” He said with a smirk, still having that same ego as a few years ago. I looked over as Zack and Rian both stood up as well and walked over to Alex’s side, right behind me. “Oh, there’s two more. How nice.”

“Get. Out.” I spat, still trying my best to hold back my anger.

“No.” He said bluntly. I was about to rush at him right when I was turned around by someone and I noticed it was Alex.

“What the hell are you doing?” I asked with annoyance in my voice.

“Something to calm you the fuck down.” He spoke before smashing his lips onto mine, making me instantly calm down and put my arms around his neck as I deepened the kiss. He pulled back from the kiss with a smirk on his lips.

“Thanks babe. I needed that.” I said placing another small kiss on his soft lips before removing my arms and letting him step back to his standing spot next to Rian and Zack, and me turn around and look at my Father, who looked like he just seen a ghost. “Now, where was I. Oh yes, kicking you out of my house.”

“Wendy-” I cut him off again.

“No. You have no right to be here trying to make things up to us. I saw what you did to my Mother that night you left. I know you knew I say. You tried to get me to hang up the phone when I called the cops. I saw you back her up in the corner of the kitchen. I saw you screaming in her face. I saw you hit her. I saw you. And what did you do? Instead of standing your ground like a man and live up to what you did by going to jail, you ran away like the little bitch you are. You will be nothing in life. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want you to come back, but I put that to the back of my mind because I knew it would never happened. Our lives have been a living hell after you left! Mom has to work multiple jobs, and we never get to see her that much anymore, just so she can give us the best life she can. And what did you do for our family? Not a damn thing. You left us to fend for ourselves. Kara wanted you back more than anything in the world, but it never happened. Our lives were fucking horrid till we moved here to Baltimore. We finally found a place to fit in. A place to call home. A place filled with nothing but care for others, friends, and love. You missed out on it all. You missed out on having a family that would do anything to make you happy. I know it was only a few years ago, but you really fucked us up big time. Me? I don’t care about myself. I care more about Mom and Kara, than anything else in this world. I do everything in my power to make sure we stay afloat. I’m the one that has to be strong for everyone. I’m the one who is raising my baby sister. I’m doing the Father's job in the family, I’m making sure everyone is okay. I’m making sure no one is hurt. And you know what? Sometimes I could really use someone to help me through all of it. And I found that someone here. I found someone I truly care about. Someone I can see myself spending the rest of my life with. Oh, but you don’t care. You just care about yourself. Just like before. Nothing has changed with you, I can see it in your fucking eyes. At least I have people who care and love me.” By the time I finished my rant, I could feel tears trailing down my cheeks. I felt arms wrap around my waist and a head being put on my shoulder.

“Can I just say that I can see myself spending the rest of my life with you, too?” Alex asked me, trying to lighten the mood a bit. I let out a small chuckle and shook my head, as I felt a smile make it’s way onto my face.

“You guys really are better off without me?” Roy asked.

“Better than ever.” I said plainly. Because as of the moment, here in Baltimore, it was true.

“Well, I think I should be going then. I’m sorry I even thought of trying to win you guys over. I knew it wasn’t going to work in the first place. But Wendy, I do want to say one thing. I’m proud of the woman you have become. All I can ask for is my children grow up and be the best person they can be. I can see you have fulfilled that. Take care of your sister, Wen. Good-bye girls.” And with those words, he walked out the door, leaving us in nothing but silence. I wiped my eyes from the tears I was letting trail down, and moved so I wasn’t in Alex’s embrace anymore. I walked back over to the couch and sat down again. I was in shock of what just happened. I looked up to Kara and saw she had tears falling as well.

“Come here, Kara.” I spoke softly as I held my arms open a little bit. She walked out from behind Jack and came straight over to me and into my arms. “Shh, it’s going to be okay. We don’t need him. We never did. We are going to be just fine.” She cried in my arms as I pulled her onto my lap and let my tears fall as well.
Sometime later, I noticed Kara, cried herself to sleep in my arms and was now softly snoring away.

“I can take her up to her room if you would like.” Jack said from his seat on a chair.

“No, but thank you anyways. I kinda just want to lay here and hold her. My over protectiveness is still kinda kicked in.” I said with a chuckle. He nodded his head in understanding, as did the others. I slowly moved so that I was laying on my back, with my feet on Alex, and Kara laying on top of me. I closed my eyes for a few minutes, and felt something being placed on top of us. I opened my eyes and saw Rian was laying a blanket on us. “Thank you, Ri.”

“No problem.” He said with a smile. I closed my eyes again, and soon fell asleep.
I woke up to the sounds of shouts and bangs. I jetted up quickly and looked around, seeing that Kara was not with me anymore. I saw the front door open and I threw the blanket off of me and ran over to it, shocked to see what was happening outside.
Everyone was outside. And by everyone, I mean everyone, as in all the neighbors as well. I ran over to the circle of my friends, and some cops as well. I pushed Zack and Jack out of the way, seeing what was in the middle of the circle. Nate. Nate was being handcuffed and pulled up by the police officers.

“Wendy?” I heard Alex’s voice say. I looked up straight, and saw Alex was straight across from me on the other side of the circle. I gasped and put my hand on my mouth as I saw his face. He had a busted lip, a cut right above his eyebrow, and a bruising cheek. I quickly made my way around everyone else, meeting Alex on the outside of the circle.

“What the hell happened to you?! What the hell is going on!?” I rushed out.

“Babe, calm down. I’m fine. I’ll tell you what happened. But I need you to calm down first.” He spoke as he put his hands on my shoulders. I nodded my head slowly, trying to make myself calm down. It took a few minutes for my anxiety to subside, but I was finally calmed down.

“Okay. Now tell me what happened.” I spoke.

“Nate showed up outside the house. He had a knife with him, and he tried to get passed the door to get to you, we didn’t let him. Also, don’t worry, Kara is fine, she’s right over there.” He said pointing. I looked over and saw Jack, Zack, Rian, and Kara all sitting on the ground together. “Anyways, Rian, Zack, and I got him on the lawn before he could get anywhere closer to the house. Him and I got in a huge fight, and as you can tell, I got a little beat up, but trust me. His face isn’t any better.” He chuckled. “We knocked the knife from his hand so he didn’t get the chance to use it on any of us, so that’s even better. Kara called the cops and they came within five minutes of the call, they are taking him back to jail, and they are thinking and most likely, will be sending him to prison. Wendy. It’s done and over with. He’s out of your life for good.” He ended with a smile.
I couldn’t help myself, I threw my arms around his neck and brought him down for a deep kiss, to which I was glad he returned. We pulled away from the kiss after a few minutes, and smiled at each other. Yes, his face looked really hurt, and I will be cleaning him up the minute he let’s me. But I don’t care about that right now. All I care about right now is him. How amazing and perfect he is. How in love I am with him. I grabbed his hand and pulled him over to our friends and my sister.

“Hey guys! We’re all going to go to Zack’s house to watch some movies, wanna come with?” Rian asked.

“No. I think I’m going to keep Alex here for the night, I need to talk to him about some stuff.” I replied. “Just promise me you guys will keep my sister safe?”

“Wouldn’t let anything happen to her!” Jack said with a smile. They all four stood up and I gave Kara a hug good-bye before Alex and I watched them go over to the cars and leave. I took Alex’s hand again and pulled him inside, making sure to lock the door behind us.

“Babe, go up to the bathroom and clean yourself up. Then go to my room, I’ll be up in a minute.” I said placing a kiss on his cheek.

“Alright. See you when you get up there then.” He said with a smile as he walked over to the stairs and started up them, I couldn’t help but stare at his ass as he jogged up them. Once he was out of my sight I walked my way into the kitchen and opened up the fridge, pulling out what I needed. I slowly walked back into the living room and made my way up the stairs, seeing my bedroom door open. I entered my room and saw Alex was laying down on my bed as he put on one of my Blink CD’s. He looked over and saw me and gave me a smile, then his eyes flickered to what is in my hand. “Babe, is that-” I cut him off.

“A can of whipped cream? Yes, yes it is. I think it’s time we relive that little dream of mine.” I said with a smirk as I tossed the can over to him, watching him catch it as I took off my shirt and threw it someone in my room, and made my way over to my bed.
