The summer days were getting hotter, the sun was barely ever covered by clouds. The past two days had been weird, everyone was minding their own business. The band was working on some songs, as well as relaxing for a while.

After what had happened Luna hadn't been around the others a lot, she was just ashamed of everything that she had done.
Though no one blamed her for it, it was still difficult for her. Victoria tried talking more about it, but Luna just couldn't find the right words.

Now that Vic knew she grew some patience for her sister, not expecting her to behave like she usually would, whatever that means.
But after Luna stayed in her room for almost two full days, Vic decided it was enough.
Staying in a room the whole time wasn't going to help her, Luna knew that as well.

It was around lunchtime so Vic decided to go up to Luna her room, hoping she was awake.
After a slight knock, she heard a faint 'come in' coming from the other side of the wooden door.
She closed the squeaky door behind her as she entered, the first thing she felt was how hot it was in the room.

"It's way too fucking hot in here", she said and walked up to the big window, opening the curtains as well as the window.

Luna was just sitting on her bed, not doing anything. She hasn't been doing anything for some time, hasn't eaten even though Victoria brought some food up to her room. Neither has she showered, or changed her clothes even though she was drenched in sweat.

"Lu, you can't go on like this", Victoria finally spoke, sitting down on the side of the double-sized bed. She could tell she was embarrassed, but staying here isn't a solution.

"I'm fine Vic", she said while picking at her nails, though she didn't have long ones because of her nail-biting. She didn't even know whether she was lying to Vic or trying to convince herself she was alright.

"I don't think you're as okay as you say
you are", Vic responded, being worried about thoughts she may have. Though Luna hated people worrying for her, she couldn't get why they would. People should worry about their own lives, not her life.

Silence fell and the only sounds that were heard were the birds chirping outside, which made Luna miss nature even more. It had been so long since she just had a nice walk in nature, she was missing it now more than ever.
Her head felt like a jungle, though she somehow managed to form some more words.

Victoria waited in patience, starting outside the window. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner", Lu then confessed. Vic turned her attention back to her sister and nodded, "It's okay. I understand".

She knew how hard it was to tell people how you were feeling, when Victoria was younger she also struggled with her feelings. She got a lot of anxiety, which resulted in panic attacks and many sleepless nights. Talking about it had helped her a lot, she thought it would also be effective for Luna. Though she had no idea how to purpose taking her to a therapist.

"Let's go downstairs, we can eat something and you can shower in my room afterward since yours has some problems with the water pressure", Vic said, breaking the silence they were in. The whole food thing made Luna anxious, the pit in her stomach felt as if she had just swallowed a rock. Vic noticed her tension, most likely caused by the amount of anxiety she was feeling now.

"The boys won't judge you, Lu. Thomas actually asked if you wanted to play FIFA with him", Vic explained, slightly chuckling at the memory of Thomas losing every game against Damiano yesterday. Luna laughed a bit as well, she knew Thomas was easy to beat.

"Dajeee", Vic said, trying to get Luna out of bed by her hand. Luna laughed, genuinely this time, "Alright, I'm coming", she said while getting out of bed. They both walked down the squicky stairs again, they could hear the boys downstairs arguing about something.

"I'm sorry Cobra, you'll lose again", Damiano said, meanwhile Thomas was trying to defend his goal, unfortunately, Dami still managed to score. Thomas groaned in defeat, while Damiano was cheering. Ethan looked up from his book, noticing them standing at the entrance.

"Ciao bellas", he said smiling, being the gentleman he is of course. Damiano and Thomas now turned around as well, all the eyes on her made her feel anxious again but she managed to contain it by picking her nails. "Oh hey, you are just in time. I beat Thomas, again", Damiano laughed putting his console on the table, Thomas was cursing under his breath while putting the controller on the glass table.

"Lunchtime?", Thomas asked, looking for approval of the other five. They all nodded their heads walking to the kitchen, Damiano had already put the salad in a big bowl. He had thought about the food a lot more these days, after he had seen Luna sitting at the dinner table he had carefully picked the dishes.

He made sure not to make anything unhealthy, mostly fruits and vegetables to make it easier for Luna. He knew what was going on the minute he saw how she was looking at the plate the other day, it was the way he once looked at food as well. Luckily he didn't feel that way anymore, but he made sure to make it easier for her.

"Buon appetite", Damiano said as he made sure everyone had a bowl in front of them, the others had already taken some food but Luna hadn't yet, "Want me to get you some?", Vic asked her, clearly noticing her zoning out again.
She nodded her head, she didn't want anything on her plate really but she had to. She needed to show them she was fine so they'd stop worrying and that would only happen if she ate.

"Thanks", Luna muttered when Vic placed her bowl back in front of her, she had some salad with a lot of vegetables. Luckily it wasn't that bad of food, it wasn't high in calories like the pasta they'd usually eat.

Picking up her fork she took a bite, being extra careful as to not look like she hated it. And so on she took another and another bite, she had finished her plate before she even noticed.

She felt guilty again, even after a salad that probably wouldn't make her gain a thing.
"I'm going to shower", she said while getting up and putting her bowl in the sink, leaving without another word.

Ethan and Thomas were confused, looking back at her as she left the kitchen. Though Vic and Dami shoot knowing looks at each other, they had to keep an eye on her.

"She alright?", Thomas asked, looking at Vic for answers. Though she didn't really know either,
"She ate so that's progress?", Vic said looking back at the place where she was just sitting a second ago. The others nodded, though it was a little sketchy.

Though Dami had a weird feeling she was doing something stupid, he knew all the tricks there were. "Y/n doesn't have a toilet in her bathroom right?", Damiano asked, he thought she didn't but maybe he had gotten confused.

"No I don't think so, oh and we need to get someone to fix the shower in her room so she can have her own. Not that I really mind sharing but still", Vic said, standing up to put her plate in the sink.

Damiano's mind clicked, she was using Vic's bathroom. Fuck, he immediately felt worried again. The image of her huddling over the toilet bowl made him get up from the table, Victoria looked at him confused as to why he was being so fast suddenly when it clicked to her as well.

"Wait do you think she would-", Vic couldn't even finish her sentence before Dami quickly walked out of the kitchen to check up on her.
