There's a quote that i have seen so often and relate to "Success is not final; failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts." —Winston Churchill. we all have our doubts and short comings but that doesn't make us any less valuable. Believe in who you are and the potential within. Thank you again

Victoria's POV:

Part of the truth is still the truth right, or at least I wished the world worked that easily. I was honest when I told Luna that I was worried about Conner, but the other half of the truth was no matter how hard I tried to sleep while at her house I couldn't. Yes, the warmth of her body next to mine felt amazing but it was a double-edged sword in the best and worst way possible; having her that close feeling the way I do felt too good. It made me nervous; her scent was so sweet it captivated me, and to finish it off with each gentle breath I felt against my neck I could feel my self-control fading more and more. Finally, I decided to sneak away from her grasp and head home. Thankfully it was quiet, so I threw myself onto the sofa and used that as my bed for the night.

This Morning she was visibly and justifiably annoyed, but rather than taking it out on me she seemed to be angry with the world. I felt horrible and tried to play it off by being playful which didn't end up well in my favor. After apologizing and explaining that I had checked in with Conner her mood improved greatly. She, Leo, and I are sitting around at a table during lunch talking when Leo asks a sudden question that catches both of us off guard.

"V the Winter formal is next week; do you plan on asking Luna to be your plus one or can I set her up with someone I think would be perfect."

I choked on the food I was eating and next to me Luna looked like a deer in headlights with pale skin. 

"Leo what the hell! I don't need help looking for a date!" she said as a drank a bit of water. That statement also caught me by surprise.

I turned my head to her and asked in a low voice. "You don't? Do you already have someone in mind?" I tried to hide the disappointment in my voice but more than likely failed judging from the way the both of them looked at me with confusion on their faces.

"I do. I'm waiting for her to get the courage to ask me but considering that she sneaks away in the middle of the night without a word I doubt she has enough of it to ask." She was bold enough to tease me, which took me by surprise.

"Y-you were waiting for me to ask you?"

"I was but I am tired of waiting, I've grown impatient. Sometimes you act like such a guy."

I looked down at the tray of food in shame. She was right, sometimes I know what I am doing at others I am completely clueless. I let a chance slip through my fingers. I clenched my jaw and fists in frustration.

"That being said, V how would you like to be date to the dance?". Yet again she has taken me by surprise. She was asking me with confidence. I couldn't respond without fumbling my words, so I simply nodded. 

"Great, you don't work today so we are going shopping for outfits."

Her ordering me around was one thing but her remembering my schedule was another. I was taken back by her overall confidence. Where had it come from? Did she have it the entire time or am I seeing a brand-new side to her that is beginning to surface? All these questions flooded my mind. All I could do in that moment was nod my head and pray for the strength to not fall deeper into the hole I currently found myself in named Luna.
