*Trigger warning *
Chapter Thirteen: Smoke SignalsLuna had arrived at Eddie's house with the biggest bruise on her face, her lip was busted and she could barely open her eye, but she made it to him, to Eddie, the person she wanted to see the person she needed to see, Athena was busy with the case of her long lost fiance, he wasn't really lost he died and no one could ever solve that murder.
The last thing Luna wanted to do was ruin that for her partner, she wanted her to get the answers she needed, to fight the battles she had desperately lost. She knew what it felt like to lose someone you loved and not be able to get rid of that feeling, to not be able to find justice in everything. It was hard and life seemed to make things even harder.
It had been forever since she talked with eddie, it wasn't by her choice, as soon as Taylor had found her she had managed to fall weakly for him, to make things seem like they had hope of a relationship, she waited until he fell asleep and of course she then waited for the pills she put in his soda to take effect before she made a run for it, she didn't have time to pack a bag, she grabbed her phone, her laptop and anything else she could so he couldn't track her.
"What happened to your face?" Eddie had been pacing since her arrival, he sat her down in a chair at the table.
Luna shakes her head. "No, Because your mad."
Eddie slams a hand down on the table. "Of course I'm mad, look at your face," Luna shakes her head again, he knew what she was doing, she felt like it was bad to ask for help, she rarely asked, rarely showed weakness. He walks over to the fridge and opens the freezer grabbing a ice pack and then a cloth from the drawer before walking over to Luna, he places it on her eye as she winces.
Taylor had made the mistake of hurting a woman who was loved by a very stubborn Latino Man, who also was taking up illegal fighting as a way to relieve his anger, seeing Luna in this state did not help his anger in the slightest. This woman, this amazing woman that he had the pleasure of falling in love with was in front of him beaten to all hell. She was the best thing to ever come into his life and she was hurting fighting this all on her own.
"Taylor....He is my ex from Chicago, we met and fell in love, we dated for a while before..he became aggressive. Edgy... things became harder and harder and eventually. I called it off and he got mad, choked me in the closet, I got out of there the next week, moved to Los Angeles, changed my last name so he couldn't find me but mostly, because I wanted a fresh start from all the trauma I had faced. And now he's back and I don't know what to do Eddie,"
"We call Athena to get him arrested."
Luna shakes her head. "Eddie you don't understand, his dad is the police commissioner of Chicago, his mom is some famous Lawyer or Doctor or whatever she does now and I can't fight them, they know too much. Too much stuff to where they could make me look like a basket case."
