Playlist - Holy Ground (Taylor's version) by Taylor Swift
Ares
I should be crowned as the biggest gutless loser ever. Damn it. I felt as if I was living my facade on borrowed time. Shit was about to hit the ceiling and I was somehow stalling the inevitable.
Today was a long ass day. I was relieved that it finally ended. If I was a cat, this day would have already swallowed eight of my lives. Yeah, things were that terrible.
The only thing that made me feel relieved was Luna. I would be going back to where I had left her alone with specific instructions to wait for me. I almost hoped that she'd defy me and then I would have a perfectly good reason to get my hands on her bubbly ass.
Red from my fingerprints.
I pushed the vision to the back of my head and focused on the task at hand. We had brought Charlotte to a mental illness facility which was expensive, private and promised us that they'd take good care of my sister, until she was ready to be on her own.
Sister. The word felt meaningless to me. Charlotte had single handedly made me despise that term. She hurt me and there was no going back to it. I don't think anything would repair what was left of our relationship.
Of course, I would always love her and be there for her. Still... it wouldn't be the same.
My father will be staying the night with Charlotte. To look out for any causality. I hugged him, then thanked Axel for coming with me.
"You know I would do anything for you, bro. That's what friends are for; to support each other." He patted my back.
We silently drove back to town. Before dropping Axel off, I couldn't resist asking him about his latest affiliation.
"You want to tell me what is happening between you and that snarky girl of yours?" Of course, I wasn't going to be kind about it. After all, he was boning the same mouthy girl I had come to despise.
"Funny. I could say the same about you and Luna?"
I warned him with my eyes. "I am not fucking with Luna. Besides, we are talking about you, not me."
Axel drew in a huge gulp of air. "Let's not talk about me yet. I am having fun."
"I guessed it correct then."
"Oh, shut up and drop me off near the den's corner." Axel had named his secret hideout as den's corner. I don't know what that guy did over there, but I hoped it wasn't anything freaky.
I dropped him off and went straight to my entourage— just kidding. I mean my girlfriend.
My head envisioned Luna waiting for me, her ass perched on the windowsill as she waited for me to show up. The moment I enter the room, she'll come running to me, wrap her arms around my neck as I'll lift her up and push her back on the mattress and skin into her warmth.
Her scent filled the air around me at the thought of my girl. It's been such a hectic day— year. I just need some calm. I know it's going to be calm before the storm.
Charlotte was so close to revealing our secret to Luna at the worst moment possible. I am not sure what made her change her mind, because as far I'd known, my sister was hellbent on telling Luna the ugly truth.
My stomach clenched at the possibility of what would have happened if Charlotte... I couldn't even finish the thought.
If anyone would be coming clean about the charade, my ulterior motive for pursuing Luna, it should be me.
