About Us,

Chapter VI

It is one fine morning. Everything seemed to be perfect and peaceful at once. Nathan went to school with Luna, as usual since they became friends again. And other than than, he is happy because Luna showed up to her door step last night just to say her apologies for ditching him.

She was catching her breath as if she ran as fast as she can just to see him.
It made him bit his lips and folded to his seat. His hands crossed on his chest. He felt thrilled. His cheeks turned red.

Luna has a big impact on him. Just one look from her and he will melt in paradise.
And the way she came to him last night was a different impact. He felt something lit up inside of him. Its burning. He burns. He burns for her.
He fell again.

Oh good heaven, he wanted to kiss her that night.
If only he could.
But damn, he tried his best to hold back. It might take a bad turn to him if he does.
He almost did it, god knows what he thought that night.
But he can't. Even if he badly wanted to, he didnt.
Because he respects her. Every bit of her.

He is contented to treat her the way he always does. And to be fair, he thought a right time would come that he will be free to cross the line.
The invisible line that set them apart, but not too far from each other.
It is a line between them that holds him back from doing things that are far from being just friends.

Right, they are friends. Nothing more than that.
But at least, he is by her side. And can keep being on her side. Without scaring her or making her runaway.

He is contented, at least just not to make her runaway again.

"What wrong with you?" Ian, his friend and classmate looked at him as if he is weirded out.

"What?" He innocently asked and sat straight as if he wasnt folding just a minute ago.

"You're being gay." He raised a brow.

"Gotta a problem with that?" He also raised a brow, he leaned back to his seat and put bis arms to the arm rest.

"Was it because of that girl, Luna?" He asked and sat beside him.

"You guessed." He smirked as if he was a crazy dude.

"The fuck?" Ian gave him a disgusted look.
"You disgust me," he added and left.
Nathan just laughed by the fact that he annoyed his friend and made him left.

He stood up and picked up his back to go home, it is already dismissal. He was out of the classroom already about to take a step when  suddenly his phone rang. He picked it in his pocket and checked the caller's ID

It was, Natasha. His younger sister.
He answered it right away.

"Natasha?" He called.

"Bro.. can you pick me up?" She said in her tiny soft voice. "I'm in school.."

"Okay. Where's mom?" He started walking as fast as he can.

"She can't pick me up and told me to call you." She said her voice trembles.

"What's wrong Nat?" He is starting to get worried her sister never asked to pick her up if nothing is wrong. There are times he picked her up, if his mom's had to stay overtime for work, if she wants to bond with him, and if she is not feeling okay.

"I dont feel alright.." she said. "I think i'm dying.."

"What are you talking about? Dont say that!" He said, very worried.

"There's blood everywhere..."

"WHAT!? WHAT HAPPENED!?" he was histerical. But when he was about to say something, he heard his sister growled
