Ending Silence

Chapter 8

Morgan's POV

Shit.

Shit. Shit. Shit.

I look up and down the hallway, seeing if anyone is staring at me watching me panic outside my room.

I've just come back from morning training, looking forward to having a nice, refreshing shower, and then sleeping since I'm exhausted.

But of course, I lost my key.

I don't know where I had it last. And I'm not eager to spend the next few hours searching that massive ass gym.

Groaning, I lean my forehead against my door and close my eyes.

I'm not going to find that key. I've already accepted it. So where am I going to stay?

I could ask Luna can I sleep on her floor. I would ask Diego but he said a spider crawled under his bed once and I refuse to sleep outside its cave.

I decide to take things one step at a time. I need to shower, since I reak.

I walk down the hallway to Luna's room, before knocking on the door. She answers pretty quick, smiling when she sees me. "Can I use your shower?" I ask. She nods but looks at me confused.

"I lost my key. So I'm homeless" I explain, walking inside her room. She closes the door behind me.

"Just ask Sage or Elijah for a new key" Luna suggests. I stop, spinning around on my heels. "Fuck no. He's so scary" I scowl, causing her to laugh.

"You have no need to be scared. He loves you, remember?" Luna teases as she walks past me and opens her wardrobe.

I roll my eyes just as clothes are being handed to me. "Be quick. I'm hungry" Luna smiles, patting my cheek before sitting on her bed.

I have a quick shower, before changing into the clothes she gave me. Black leggings and a cropped cami top.

I've never liked tight clothes much. They make me uncomfortable for some unknown reason. But I suppose beggars cants be choosers.

I walk out of the bathroom, seeing Luna lying on her bed on her phone. She smiles when she sees me. "Can we get breakfast now?" She asks.

I chuckle, nodding my head. She grins, grabbing my hand and forcing me to jog with her down to the food hall.

We grab some food, looking for a free table when we spot Marlow and Diego in the corner, the two chairs opposite them empty.

They notice us as we get near, and I notice they seem to be staring at me. "What?" I ask, confused, as we both sit down.

"Nothing you just look..weird" Diego mumbles, and Luna scowls. "What?".

"No- not in a bad way-"

Marlow shoves a napkin in his mouth. "What he means is, we've noticed your fashion style is..different from what you're wearing now," Marlow says, and Luna laughs while I smile sheepishly. "I lost my key. I have to borrow Luna's clothes".

They both laugh at my stupidity while I glare at them. "It's not that funny. I have nowhere to sleep now" I mumble. "Ask Sage for a new one" Diego shrugs. "I'm not asking him. He'll kill me!" I whisper, fearing he might hear me somehow.

The three of them share a look, before glancing at me with matching grins on their faces.

Oh fuck.

"I'm not doing it!" I scowl, glaring at all three of them. "Morgan, just ask the man. What's the worse that'll happen?" Marlow asks, and I stare at him like he's crazy.
