BITTEN (PAUSED)

Whats Love?

Song Recommendation: Loveeeeeee Song - Rihanna

Luna's POV:

I entered my large penthouse, slowly wandering inside as the cold New York city air left my body, and the warmth of my house was brought. I hung my coat on the coatrack, as I made my way into the dimly lit kitchen. I opened the fridge, quickly pulling out a beer as I popped it open. The burning liquid traveled down my throat, as I slowly pulled the bottle away from my lips.

I wandered over to the couch, slouching down and taking more sips of my beer, as I let my thoughts wander to what happened just moments before.

"Why the fuck are there bite marks?" She asked me.

"Scarlett, i'm sorry I didn't-" I started to say before she cut me off.

"You didn't what? You didn't mean to? What are you, a fucking vampire?" She screamed at me, the rage flowing through her voice.

"You're really a fucking vampire?! No, you have to be lying, vampires don't exist." She says

"If you just listen to me, please Scarlett." I pleaded, as a single tear fell from my eye. And thats when I knew, I got my feelings involved, way too much at that.

The thoughts racing in my head, fear flashing on my face as tears filled the verge of my eyes. She backed away slowly, before completely leaving the Victoria Secret we were previously in.

I ruined it. I ruined everything. Every chance, every new beginning, any way of me being with the girl.

Before I knew it, there were tons of beer bottles scattered across the living room, 7 at least. My lousy eyes darted over to the kitchen, my wobbly feet standing up crookedly, as I stumbled my way into the kitchen. I grabbed the bottle of whiskey from the cabinet, chugging straight from the bottle as the burning liquid traveled down my numb throat.

It's all your fault.

You ruined this.

You ruined everything.

The alcohol kept sweeping its way down my throat, as the once full bottle went to half, and that half turned to none.

It's the only way out.

The empty bottle quickly made its way out of my hands, as I dropped it onto the floor. The glass shattering sound didn't affect me much, as I walked over the crunchy glass. I stumbled and fell, before slowly making it back onto my feet, my weak and unstable body having a hard time adjusting to the alcohol.

"Shit" I mumbled, looking down at my arm that now had a couple cuts on it due to the glass I fell on.

I ignored the stinging sensation, as I stumbled over to a drawer in my kitchen, pulling out a small white box. I quickly opened it, revealing a few pre rolled joints. I grabbed a lighter out of the same drawer, slowly lighting the joint and placing it on my lips. I walked out onto my balcony, my body slouching against the rail as I observed the night sky over the beautiful city.

I blew a puff of smoke out of my mouth, taking another hit off of the familiar joint. Soon enough, my vision was blurry and I could barely walk.

I wish Scarlett was here.

And thats when it hit me, I could just go over there.

I quickly got up on my feet, crookedly walking out of my apartment and sliding into the backseat of my drivers car.

"To Scarletts" I mumbled, as the driver pulled out of the parking spot. After what seemed to be forever, the driver stopped and opened the car door for me. I whispered a small thank you, as I practically ran my way up to her apartment.

Once I got there, I stood infront of her door. There was not a sound coming from the room, so maybe that was a good sign.

Why am I here? Is this even a good idea? I should probably just got home.

Before I could think anymore, I knocked lightly on the door. For a moment, I thought nobody would answer. Until they did.

The door slowly flung open, Scarletts eyes meeting mine. My red and puffy eyes from crying stared into hers, which held a concerned look.

What am I doing?

"Luna, I-.." She started to say, as she scanned my appearance. Her eyes darted from my face, to my arm, and quickly back up to my face.

Before I could even register, I was being pulled into her apartment. She locked the door behind her, as she took my hand and brought me to the kitchen. She quickly placed my arm under warm water, as she began to slowly rub the cuts on my arms, as the hot water stung my body.

"Luna, what happened?" She asked me as she finished cleaning my arms. Her intense stare glared right into my eyes. I quickly looked away, my blurry eyes looked down at the floor as my head began to get dizzy. My hands and legs were tingling, as I started to lose feeling in them. I stumbled forward, as Scarlett caught me in her arms.

My tired body relaxed in hers, as I exhaled into the crook of her neck as she held me.

This felt nice.

"I missed you" I say bluntly, mumbling into her shoulder.

"I..missed you too Luna. But really, what happened?" She asked me, pulling our bodies away as fear covered her face.

"I got home and I drank like a lot, then I smoked a joint. But then I realized I missed you so here I am." I mumbled, my heavy eyes trying to look in her direction, but failing miserably.

"Luna, you need to sleep, this isn't healthy. And by the looks of it, this isnt your first time being like this." She said, as she dragged me toward her bedroom.

Oh you have no idea.

"Here, you can sleep in my bed. I'll sleep on the couch tonight." She said, walking away before I grabbed her wrist. She turned back around to me, her eyes giving me a look of confusion.

"Stay, please." I begged the woman. She took a deep breath, before sliding into the bed next to me. I felt a dent in the bed, as I snuggled into her chest. One of her hands played with my hair, as the other wrapped around my torso. Her warm body pressed against mine, as if we couldn't get any closer.

And we stayed like that, enjoying eachothers presence and warmth. It was a 'I need you' from me, and a 'you're safe with me' from Scarlett.

Is this love?
