I sobbed into my pillow. I've been crying for the past few days and I haven't even bothered eating anything. Sometimes I would nibble on some food that Sondra had brought to my door but I had barely eaten. I was too upset about the Luna situation. Carrot cuddled up in my bed. I couldn't look at her glowing red eyes, it reminded me too much of Luna. It has definitely been the worst month ever.
In the morning, I heard a knock on my door. "Come in," I say sleepily,
Zendaya enters, I sigh, "Hi!" She says, trying to sound cheerful.
"Hi," I say,
"So..." Zendaya says, twirling her ponytail, "How do you feel?"
"Honestly," I say, "I feel worse than ever,"
Zendaya sits next to my bed, "Do you want to tell me what happened?"
I really don't want to, but my mouth went out of control and said, "I miss Luna!!"
Zendaya doesn't look a bit surprised, "I guessed that, but why?"
"You don't know what it's like, you aren't an orphan!" I say, "You never know the relationship between Luna and me because you," I jab my finger at her, "have never been separated from anybody!"
Zendaya looks a bit hurt. Oops. I guess I let my anger out on her.
"I'm sorry, it's just been hard, you know?" I say.
"Oh yeah," she says, "I've never told anybody this but....I was separated too."
"What??" I ask
"Yeah, from my best friend Nikki. She umm, died from pneumonia and now," Zendaya takes a deep breath, "She's gone. Forever. Just like what happened with your best friend and you. I cried just like you. But then I realized that love is way too strong to be broken. Nikki and I are connected. We're a part of each other. And we'll never be separated from one another."
I sniff, "You're right, thanks," I try to smile at her but it comes out as a weird face.
Zendaya seems to understand though, "Of course, now, do you want to come down for breakfast?" She asks hopefully,
I laugh, "You bet." I say
Even though Zendaya's story worked, I still really miss Luna. But we're still connected. Still, I would trade the world to see Luna just one last time.
