Chapter 8 three am phone call

211 12 10
                                    

The third time in the row, Monty's sleep was interrupted, they were tired, not wanting to check who was calling them at that hour. It was probably Bonnie wanting something from him again. They let it ring. Then it stopped. Monty sighed of relief, turning to the other side and trying to go to sleep, when it rang again. They sat up, a bit done whit this whole shananigan, he grabbed his phone, saw the number, unknowned. He sighed, picking it up.

Call:

Monty: Who are you and why are you calling me at 3 am for fucks sake?!

Moon: Sorry.- the familiar voice said.

Monty: Moon? What's going on?

Moon: Sun is having a flashback... And I guess I am too... Could you come upstairs, giving us one of those edibles? See if this calms down?

Monty: Alright...- he said getting up looking for his stuff- you sound really calm.

Moon: I wasn't the one being abused... When you come I'll be the one out, but once Sun is a bit less freaked out I'm letting him out, if you could text or call him it would be great.

Monty: Alright, but y'all gonna have to buy me a coffee for this, cuz I have to go to work.

Moon: Fair trade.

They then finished the call, Monty going upstairs, knocking on the door, the younger opening it. Whitout saying much they handed them the gummy. The other taking it and eating it, before turning to close the door, the older stopped them.

Monty: Are you sure you are alright? Just cuz Sun is in crisis it doesn't mean you also aren't.

Moon: I feel guilty... Not bad, not sad, not distressed. I feel so so guilty. I let it happen.

Monty: I'm sure what it is, that's not the truth. And I don't think Sun will blame you for it, it's just not in his nature.

Moon: Thank Monty.- they let out whit a weak smile, the other opening his arms, the taller welcoming the hug, now both in a tight embrace.

Monty: I'm not here just for Sun. You're important for the pizza plex to... And I guess... No, I know. You're important to me. I- he cleared his throat, trying to not let slip out something he knew to be true, but wasn't read to face it- I really care about you Moon... You're has important to me has Sun.

Moon: Thanks Monty... I'll be fine...- they said pulling away from the hug.

Monty: I know. I just wanted to tell you. Goodnight, Moony.- they said before kissing the other's cheek, then going his way to the stairs. Moon stood there, his face flushed they touched their face, a bit star stuck.

Moon: F-fuck.- they added before closing the door, they leaned against the door, their back to it. They slid down, seating down, slowly hatd they processed- Fuck. FUCK!!- they said gripping on to their pants- I'm so sorry sunny.

Monty laid down in his bed, staring at his phone. It had passed a little more then half an hour, they were waiting for a text instead getting a call. They put it on speaker.

Sun: I remember everything... I remember everything to excruciating details... But it doesn't hurt. Why not?

Monty: Well you sound calm... Maybe not panicking about it makes it better.

Sun: It doesn't make what happened better.

Monty: Then what does it do?

Sun: I don't feel like I'm dying... I don't feel like self harming... I don't even know if I feel something. I just can look back whitout it affecting me.

Monty: I'm sorry but I have to ask, what happened?

Sun: What happened?

Monty: Yeah why you don't go out of the house, why I can't touch you, why you were hospitalized? What fucked your mental health? If you don't mind me asking.

Sun: Oh I was raped.- they said whitout any drop of emotion, Monty stayed in silence for half a minute.

Monty: You were raped?

Sun: Yeah.

Monty: I'm sorry I asked, we could change topics.

Sun: Can we not?... I haven't talked about it whit anyone since it happened. People just know that cuz of Moon.

Monty: I mean, alright but I don't know if I'll help you much.

Sun: Just hearing me is enough...

Monty: Alright, get out of your chest.

Sun: Moons ex assaulted me... It.. it hurt a lot. It really did. And I wish is could live everyday whitout being reminded that while he's out there living his normal life. I'm stuck inside. I can't let even my closest friend hug me because of him. And I lay down everyday, trying to forget what it was to lay down on his bed... I wish I could have my life back. I wish he didn't have this power over me.

Monty: Well he only has that power has long has you let him. Starting to go out, getting back to work could give you that power back.

Sun: Maybe.

Monty: And certainly leaving your house, would also help your mental health.

Sun: But it also hurts. Nothing outside is in my control, I can't control what will happen, I can't protect myself.

Monty: That's where you're wrong. Sure, you can't control everything but you can protect yourself. Moon even protected me from my ex. I'm not saying that you'll end up using it but maybe having things that can protect you whit you would ease your anxiety.

Sun: So you're saying that maybe I feel less bad if I was out whit a knife or something?

Monty: Maybe. But for now, you're very jumpy. I don't want you to accidentally hurt yourself or someone. So those things maybe stay for when you're back to work... Right now we should focus on getting you out of the house and out of the building... Also if it would help, you could go to work whit that cat you've been meaning to adopt.

Sun: Oh yeah we have to do that...

Monty: Yeah, I figure the day after tomorrow... I mean it's tomorrow actually, since I'll leave early from work I could drive Moon, to the shelter, help you pick and connect whit the cat you chose.

Sun: That sounds nice...- they yawned- It's late you should probably go to sleep... I'm sorry to keep you up on a work night.

Monty: It's fine darling, have a good night.

Sun: You too.
