A Life I Never Knew

Chapter 57

Luna Pov

3 months later

"My birthday is tomorrow," I thought to myself.

This year I thought I would finally be able to celebrate my birthday.

After years of not even knowing or celebrating it I thought this time around would be different.

Having a family and friends was what I wished for.

Having a lover was something unexpected and utterly impossible if you asked the old me.

It's been three months since Tony has disappeared, or maybe kidnapped.

No one knows.

The first month of his disappearance I was in state of shook.

I stumbled around as if I was a zombie yet I helped look for him.

The second month was state of denial I could not accept the fact that he was gone.

Now on month three, I can wholeheartedly say I'm in a depressive state.

I don't want to eat or drink anything, I don't want to leave my room or speak to anyone.

My Tony is somewhere out there and I don't know if he's dead or alive.

My thoughts go back to when I was kidnapped and tortured.

Me knowing the lifestyle he leads I'm sure it won't be his first time going through this. Yet that does not soothe my mind.

My family and Tony's family have been working nonstop to find his whereabouts.

I find it odd that he's been missing for so long without a trace.

I would eavesdrop on meetings knowing that my dad and his family were discussing ways of finding him.

They always seemed close but always came back empty handed.

I turn 19 tomorrow, for now my only wish is to have Tony back safe and sound.

"Where are you?" I think to myself as I toss and turn in bed.

Knock knock

"Who is it?"

"It's me," by the sound of the voice I know Anna has come to visit again.

I know she means well but I don't want to see anyone right now.

I don't reply but that does not stop her from waltzing in.

"Good. Your awake," she said plopping down on the bed.

"Ughh," I groan.

"C'mon Luna, tonight is your birthday party I've already planned everything," she said.

"I don't want a party."

"I know you're upset about Tony but, I'm sure he wouldn't want you sulking on your big day!" She said.

"I don't care."

"You should! Everyone is worried about you Luna, at least show up for a little while?" She asked.

"If it gets you off my back," I said rolling my eyes.

"Yay! Now let's pick out a dress," she said.

"Annaaaa," I said already exhausted by her.

"It will get your mind off things, c'mon," she said pulling the blankets off me.

I begrudgingly get out of bed and head to the shower.
