Today was my first day at the Grill. Matt explained everything to me and within half an hour I had my first customers. Everything went great, definitely better than expected since I am super clumsy. I didn't drop anything and I got a lot of tips from happy customers I served.

I loved working. It got my mind off of things. When I wasn't at school I had trouble thinking about other things than our parents' accident. It had only been a few months after their funeral and the scars hadn't healed. The wound was still fresh. I tried to hide it from Sun and I think I succeeded, but it took a huge toll on me. I had started to crop every emotion up and at night my demons would all come out to haunt me, that was why I had trouble sleeping. I seemed to be falling asleep everywhere since I didn't get a good night's rest in.

I just hoped nobody noticed. I wasn't the type of person to cry for help, I didn't want to be dependent. I had always been this insecure girl, shy and unsure of herself, that had increased due to everything that had happened. I had days were I liked myself and I had days were I was disgusted by myself and there were more and more of those days. I suffered from an eating disorder. I hadn't told anyone and wasn't planning on telling anyone either. They couldn't help anyway.

Matt woke me up from my thoughts. "Luna, could you bring table 3's order?" He asked with a slight look of worry on his face. I faked a smile and walked over to table 3. I was surprised to see Sun and Rebekah. I greeted them and gave their food. They asked me if I wanted to join them for dinner that evening. Food, probably a lot of it. I hesitated, but ended up nodding. In my head I was already planning ways to get rid of that food later. I had to admit I was doing pretty well with my bulimic thoughts, but after all the stress of the ball I had relapsed.

I served a lot more customers, Sundays seemed to be busy, but I wasn't really paying any attention. At the end of the day I put the work clothes in the laundry hamper and got Matt's confirmation that I now was officially a new employee from the Grill. I was happy. Now I finally felt like I was helping Sun. Like I was being useful for once.

When I got home I immediately jumped under the shower. I didn't want to get my hair or face wet, because I was too lazy to redo my makeup. So I only ended up washing my body and picked out a fresh set of clothes when I got out of the shower. I wanted to look nice, yet comfortable.
I went for a shifted striped dress and picked out some heels that looked like they could be from the 50's. I reapplied a deep red lip colour, grabbed my pastel yellow clutch from my dresser and went downstairs.

Sun and Rebekah had gone from the Grill straight to the Mikaelson residence. Luckily Sun had left her Mustang on the lawn, so I didn't have to walk. Not that I don't like to walk, I love to, but not in these heels. I had remembered the route from when Matt drove us there the night before and was still impressed the moment I caught eye of the palace like living.

I parked my car somewhere, got out and walked to the door. I used the door-knocker. Even that thing looked impressive. I got welcomed in by Kol who, once again, greeted me by kissing my hand. This time I blushed and shyly followed him to the dining room where everyone was already sat down.

I excused myself for being late, but was assured that I wasn't. I looked across the dining table and saw the whole Mikaelson family and Sun, but was surprised by the sight of Stefan and Damon. What were they doing here? I took a seat next to Kol and he smiled at me. I looked at Damon who avoided my eyes and seemed rather upset. Strange, but I didn't have much time to think about it since the first course was being served.
