Travis had thrown Tiffany out of the house, and after that, he apologized to me before heading off to his room. I went to mine too, but for some reason, I felt restless.

Travis might be a player, but he's different around Tiffany. That's one of the reasons I never fight back when she gets on my nerves.

He doesn't smile at any other girl except me, but he does with Tiffany.

Could he actually love her? She's the only girl he's dated for this long. They've been together for a year now.

Other girls don't even last three months with him.

I wondered why he saved me from her slap. I remembered how mad he was when I misjudged him last night after he asked me to spend the night in his room.

"How can you say that? I'm not one of your sluts, and I never will be." I had snapped at him.

"What do you think of me? Is that how you see me now? Just some guy who only cares about sex?" he replied before storming off to his room. I sighed and bit my lower lip.

"Should I apologize to him?" I wondered. Even if he's a jerk sometimes, I kinda miss him teasing me.

But it's his own fault. How does he expect me to trust a guy like him? He has practically slept with every girl at school.

I shook the thought away and got up, stripping down and heading to the bathroom.

After a quick shower, I went through my nightly skincare routine and climbed into bed. I can't sleep without reading a book, so I grabbed one of the books I borrowed from the library.

That's when I remembered Kyle.

I've read the book before

I smile tug my lips as I recall how he took the book from me.

"Even if he has read it, it's still embarrassing. Whet would he think of me now?"

Wait a minute, who cares what he think of me?

Not like we're ever gonna cross path again or something.

But I can't help it, a side of me wish to see him again!

I sighed and opened the book anyway.

The title was Lost Desires.

I've seen it all over the internet and I couldn't wait to dive in.

The book was so good that I lost track of time. I kept giggling and tossing on my bed with every cute scene between the leads.

By the time I hit Chapter 25, I glanced at the clock on the wall and gasped.

"1:30 in the morning!" I whispered in shock.

I started reading at 9 PM, so hours had passed without me even noticing.

"Should I put the book down or keep going?" I debated. But it was too good to drop. I couldn't.

I was getting thirsty, but there was no way I was going to the kitchen alone for a glass of water. I was too scared.

Travis's room was next door, but we weren't talking.

I sighed and went back to reading. Just then, a loud clap of thunder roared outside, followed by a deafening thud, and then the rain started pouring down hard. It was a torrential downpour.

I screamed and threw Lost Desires into the air. I hugged my pillow, trembling.

I hate rain, especially at night! It's not exactly a phobia, I just get really scared.

No one knows this about me except my parents-not even Travis.

I covered myself with the duvet, hoping and praying the rain would stop soon, but thirty minutes passed and it was still coming down hard.

I started sweating, my body shaking every time the lightning flashed and the thunder rolled.

"M-Mom... D-Dad..." I whimpered as if they would magically appear.

I used to sleep in my mom's room whenever it rained, with her arms wrapped around me. She'd whisper,

"It's okay, baby. Nothing will happen to you as long as I'm here."

A tear slipped down my cheek as I missed her even more.

My mind started running wild, and I found myself staring at the walls and corners of the room.

Should I go to Travis?

"No, I can't go to him no matter what! He can't find out about this-he'll just use it to tease me." I argued with myself.

Suddenly, a thunderclap boomed so loudly that it jolted me out of my thoughts. I jumped out of bed and ran to Travis's room.

I yanked off his duvet and dove into bed with him, pulling the covers over both of us. I clung to him fearfully, my breath coming in short gasps.

"What are you doing, Luna?" Travis asked, and that's when I realized I was hugging his naked body. He wasn't wearing a thing! Just his bare skin!
