        "No need to Cora, I'll carry it", he says while holding the luggage.

He just stares at her, she has matured a lot. She's as tall as Vic now, it has been 4 years since he has seen her after all. A few seconds of silence pass when Luna starts talking, "Hi Damiano", she says while looking at him.

" Hey Cora", he says while smiling at her, Victoria is staring back and forth between the both of them, "How did you get that nickname again, I forgot", Vic asks.

" The book, Coraline, she used to read it the whole day years ago", he answers before Luna can even open her mouth to tell Vic.

Luna just seems surprised that he still remembers, she would've forgotten it if it wasn't for him.

But Damiano remembered, how could he forget. When the band used to practice they'd go to Victoria's house most of the time, Luna was always sitting on the sofa, reading this book called "Coraline". She didn't pay that much attention to the book, that was when they were practicing at least. Luna wouldn't be reading the book, instead, she listened to the music they were making. The music was relaxing and beautiful, sometimes sad even.

He always noticed her peeking up from her book to watch them play, he never said anything though of course.
Ever since then he called her Cora, short for Coraline. The name Coraline was too long for him anyways.

He got the suitcases and started to walk into the house, encouraging the two girls to follow him as well.

"Where are Edgar and Cobra?", Vic asks looking around the house as they enter the living room.

A big splash coming from the back, says enough.

"Voi stronzi, you got into the pool without me?", Vic yells while dropping her handbag on the ground and walking up to the pool.

Leaving Damiano and Luna alone in the living room. He takes the luggage and walks upstairs, "I'll put your luggage in your room", he says smiling at her, Luna nods," Thanks".

-

There's just something about Damiano that makes her feel strange, she hasn't had friends or people around her
so that's probably the reason why she feels lighter.
Her stomach, however, feels anything but light. She shouldn't have eaten that stupid sandwich anyways, she'll skip tomorrow, if she can.

Luna hears a scream coming from outside, that's Vics. Before she can get outside to see she hears a big splash.

"THOMASS, ETHANN", She yells while laughing, when she finally reaches the pool she sees why.

Vic is in the water, fully clothed, probably pushed by Ethan or Thomas, possibly both. They seem to have a lot of fun, it makes Luna smile for a moment again, but not for long. She can't allow herself to feel happy, she can't afford to get hurt again.

" Lunaa", Thomas and Ethan say while waving at her. "Hey guys, long time no see", she says while waving back at them, " Yes, you're not 15 anymore", Ethan says.

"And you're not 18 anymore?", she says questionable, Ethan nods and laughs, "I'm not, no", he says with a little relief.

" Come into the pool to Lou, it's nice. You can still put on your bathing suit, unlike me", Vic says while floating around the pool, shooting a glance towards the two other boys.

Luna's throat begins to tighten a bit, there is no way she's going into that pool. Certainly not with a bikini, that would mess up everything. If they would see the months of her darkest place they'd run, they would hate her. Think she's a weirdo, a freak who doesn't know who she is not how to cope with things.

"No thanks, I'm tired I think I'm going to go to bed", She croaks out, while she's walking away she can hear Vic saying something in the distance but she decides to ignore it. Quickly going upstairs trying to find the room she's going to stay in. She doesn't quite remember the house anymore so she just opens the first door she thinks could be her room.

It's Vic's room, she can tell by the bass waiting for her in the corner. She quickly closes it and moves on to the next door.

Before she has the chance to look around she's face to face with Damiano, "Are you okay?", He asks her, probably a little confused by her hurried state.

" What? Yeah, no I'm fine. I was just-, do you know where my room is. I don't remember anymore", she says while staring awkwardly at her nails.

"Of course, I'll show you", he says while smiling at her and putting his hand on her shoulder to encourage her to follow him. She walks down the hall behind Damiano, it's the 4th door. Damian opens it and says,
"Here it is, it's the last door of the hallway".

" Thank you", she says while going inside, Damiano is about to turn back to his room when he stops.

"If you ever need something, anything. Just ask me, okay?", he says and she nods, " I will".

Damian takes one last glance at her before he disappears down the hallway into his room. Luna closes the door and sighs.

Luna feels different, she doesn't know if it's good or bad. She wants something to change, but it would only hurt her more when it would be gone. Everything is temporary.

She takes her suitcase and takes her diary and pen out of it. She sits down on her bed and starts writing.
