|LUNA|

It was the next day and here I am. Doing nothing but sitting on the balcony, drawing, and waiting for the others to finish up.. business. Usually I would be allowed to sit in the same room and talk with Lydia but this time they didn't let me. Something about it being personal. But I didn't mind. In fact I was having fun, drawing and what not. Til, to my surprise Lydia came in. "Oh! Luuunaaa." I smiled and turned in my chair to look at her. She was crouched down next to me "what's my favorite songbird up to?" I flashed her the drawing. "Oh, so we have an artist on our hands?" We snickered together before she lifted up the drawing pad and put it down on the table next to me. Then she grabbed my hand and started walking me downstairs. "How about we spend the day together? I could use the company." I nodded, but it's not like I had another option. Next thing I know, I'm in a car with some Nior and Lydia. The Niors drove and we ended up at a comfy little breakfast place.

Lydia got us pancakes and fruit "so.. how have you been doll face?" "I've been better.. but what about you? How have you been?" "Doing good so far, still recovering from the surgery I had, but nothing major. Oh! I never thanked you.." I furrowed my brows and tilted my head; "for what?" "For the kidney Silly." She smiled and giggled for a while as the waiter brought our food. But I was still processing it. 'Didn't Tanner say it got sold?' None the less I was happy I could help Lydia, she was a good person, as far as I know. "Eat up!" I snapped out of my haze and dug in with her. Half way she spoke again. "So.. who's Eugene?" I exhaled through my nose. "An ex." "An ex..." "fiancé." She slowly nodded her head, intrigued. "Why is he an ex?" "He cheated.." "with who?" "A girl named Stacy." I looked down in sadness but Lydia was smirking. I didn't want to ask but I guess she was planning something. Like a way to make me feel better. Which is what she did. "I bet you feel stressed huh?" "Yea-." "The bill mademoiselles." The waiter said in a polite tone. "Thank you." Lydia said back in the same manner.

We paid and went back to the car. The Niors closed the divider and Lydia and I kept talking. Til we got to a store. "Stay here." She told me. I obliged and waited the minute she was gone. Once she came back the Niors started driving again. She smiled and opened the bag of goodies she got. "I need you to take this pill, ok Luna?" She opened a package with a cat on it and took out a pill. "It's not an illegal drug is it?" "No, of course not." She handed it to me with a bottle water. "Here, take it at night, around.. 9:30. You should feel less stressed." I nodded and pocketed the pill. "You sure it's not a drug? I don't wanna be-." "Honey, I wouldn't give you drugs even if you asked for it." She reached for my cheek and caressed it: "Drugs make you ugly and you're too precious for that." I smiled and trusted her. She didn't have any reason to lie so why shouldn't I?

We made it back to the house and I went to leave the car when Lydia made a gasp sound, "I almost forgot." She reached in the bag and put something in her purse, once there was only one thing inside She handed it to me. "Surprise!" I grabbed it and excitedly looked inside. Only for my smile to drop. My face was red and I threw the bag to Lydia. "Lydia!" "What?" She looked inside to make sure she put the right thing in there. She did and handed it back to me. "Cmon, take it." I looked at it then back at her. "Aw, don't tell me you're embarrassed Luna." She giggled. "Wha- Why do I need that?" "To relieve stress." "But Tanner-." "Tanner what?" "Tanner said I'm not allowed to do that alone." She pursed her lips in laughter. "Oh, that prick!" She stopped her laughter and gave it back. "Don't worry, it'll be between us." I grabbed the bag and cautiously took it inside. Putting it in my drawer for that no one saw.

Later that night I was watching the news. I hadn't really been in touch with society lately so it was fun to see what was going on in the world. "Breaking news! Murderer caught today by known detective Calvin Jones. Witnesses say.." my jaw dropped. I hadn't seen or heard from Calvin in a long time.. I think the last time I saw him was the time he dropped me off at the psych ward and "promised" me that he would find the evidence to make me innocent which isn't a very fond memory. It didn't age well. But it hurt more since Jones was like a dad figure in the police department. "Detective Jones comments." "This was a tough case to crack, but thanks to my team and friends in the department, we managed to catch the guy red handed." He did an awkward smile to the camera but my emotions didn't know how to handle themselves. I felt sad that he just forgot about me but I also felt anger about it. My frustration led to tears coming out as I heard the doorknob twist open. Lydia. "Heya-." I wiped the tears off my face but she saw it. "What's wrong?" "Nothing, just.. stress." She pursed her lips and came in with a bag. "What's that for?" "Tanner's taking you to another house for a while. So he sent me to get you packed and dressed." "Dressed? For what?" She sighed. "A picnic!" She went through the drawers and got out a nice dress for me. A casual cottage core one with a blue floral print, puffy short sleeves, long, and a slit. "Can't have you looking bad for him huh?"
