WHEN THE RAIN STOPS- Scrutinized [TANNER x LUNA] 2 IN 1

Luna's Mentality Pt. Two

|LUNA|

It was morning and I woke up in the comfortable bed. Once I sat up I was greeted with sunlight from the apartments window. I giggled, my hair was a mess and I was blushing. "Good morning gorgeous." Eugene kissed my forehead. I turned and lifted the blanket to cover me with a smile. "Where are you going so dressed up?" I asked him. "I have a meeting today remember?" He buttoned his shirt. "Oh, yea." I reached over to the other side of the bed and picked up his old button up dress shirt he wore yesterday. Before it was ripped off. I got up from the bed and put it on me. "Oh how luck is on your side today." I giggled. "You should've saved up your days off." I finished buttoning up the shirt and put on some underwear. "We could've spent these two weeks together." He scoffed a laugh. "Yea Yea, but hey! At least I'll be home early tonight. We can go out to eat at your favorite restaurant." I smiled. "Thank you. I'd love that." I waddled up to him and gave him a hug and kiss. I sighed. "I might go to the book store today. I want another book." "You finished the one I gave you already?" "Yea." "I only gave it to you a week ago and it was 300 pages!" I laughed. "I'm a fast reader." He chuckled and went with me to brush our teeth. Afterwards I went with him to wish him goodbye at the door. Eugene was a business man, we met 3 months after my hospital stay was over. He helped me get familiar with the new area and soon we started dating. We're 6 months strong now. We're happy and satisfied as a couple. "Be careful today when you go out ok?" He stated as he was about to close the apartment door. "Alright. Bye!" We gave each other a kiss before closing the door.

I felt like being lazy for a while as I plopped myself down on the couch and started watching some TV. I was finishing an episode when someone knocked on the door. I was gonna answer it when I noticed I only had a shirt and underwear on. "Just a minute!" I ran into our room and grabbed some sweatpants and a sweater. Quickly putting them on. Another knock. "Coming!" I ran into the room and shot for the door. I answered our of breath. "Hello?" A postal service man was standing outside and with a package. "Package for Luna Youngman?" I smiled and took it to sign off on it. "Thank you." I closed the door and set the package on the counter. It was small and pretty light so I wonder what was in it. I grabbed a knife from the kitchen and started opening up the package. "I wonder what it is.." I sang to myself. I hummed and danced a little as I finally got it open. But when I saw what it was I fell back got he floor. My breathing escalated with my heart rate as The package fell with me and all you could hear was...

Squeak!

I shook and screamed. Reaching over to my phone and calling Eugene. "Hello?" "Eugene! It's him! He's back! He's gonna kill me!" I couldn't get air down my throat as I crawled to the room. "Luna calm down. Your just imagining it again. You're fine." "No! Eugene he sent me a fucking package." "Just take a breath. I'll be home at 7." "Eug-." "I gotta go, I'll talk to you later. Take a walk and clear your head. You're fine." He hung up and I stayed in our room. After I calmed down a little I realized he was right. I was just imagining it. The toy was just a toy. It didn't mean anything and I was fine. I stood up and decided to change into jeans and a black shirt. Then I put on black heeled boots and a black overcoat. I brushed my hair and grabbed my phone. I struggled for a second to walk back to the kitchen but once I did I realized it wasn't fake and the real little elephant puzzle Toy was there. The same one Tanner had given me over a year ago. I hadn't seen him since a year ago when I escaped but I wasn't looking to see him again anyways. I thought it was over and I could finally have a normal life with a family and white fence. But I was still in this trap and I was still playing his game. "Ugh! Why can't you just leave me alone?!" I threw the toy at the wall in frustration. Then there was a knock on the door. I blew the hair out of my face and tided myself up before opening the door. "Luna!" There I found my group of friends.
Well they're the Fiancé's and wives of Eugene's brothers and we just hung out. They surrounded me in a hug and started dragging me out of the apartment. "Cmon! We're going shopping! Eugene called us and told us to take you." The five women kept me in the middle of them as two men in black suits walked behind us. "Who are they?" "They're bodyguards. They're here to make sure you're ok going out." I smiled. "Really?" They nodded. "Yea. Wouldn't want you to get kidnapped would we?" They laughed but mine came out nervous. The girl on my arm leaned her head on my shoulder. "What's wrong honey?" "Nothing.." "then why are you shaking?" I sighed. "I think Tanners back.." they stopped walking and looked at me while I told them why I think he's back.
