Luna's POV:

"Dad, What are you doing here?"

I asked shockingly as I made sure to distance myself from Eli, approaching my father with confusion, I was a bit excited to see him! It's been so long, I haven't seen my father in months so I'm glad...I just wish it was in different circumstances. It feels too awkward to smile at the moment...

"I could ask you the same thing. What are you doing outside the house at this time of night? And what the hell do you two boys think you're doing in front of my house at this late hour?!"

My father yelled at all three of us, I know this wasn't what my Dad expected to come home to. But it's not like it's my fault that things ended up this way!

"Mr. Collins, sir, I...I didn't mean to cause a disturbance. Things just became complicated and I apologize for my actions. Luna did nothing wrong...it was just a whole misunderstanding, sir."

Ren grunted out his words in pain as he tried to explain the situation to my father, he was struggling to stand on his feet and his body was wobbling a bit as he tried to gain his balance back. Elijah must have hurt Ren badly if he could barely stand up, he even had his hand covering his left eye and I could see a bit of blood leaving his mouth. He had a few scrapes and cuts over his face as well. Did Eli do this to him, why!? Ren did nothing to deserve this... if anything, I wish it was Eli who had the busted bloody up mouth after what he did with that skank at the party! Ignoring Eli's gaze, I stood next to my father. However, I could feel Elijah's intense glare at me...almost as if he wanted to drag me away from everyone.

"How do you know who I am?"

My father asked Ren with a questionable stare, he then pulled out a rag from his jacket and offered it to Ren to clean off the blood from his mouth...

"Dad, this is Ren...you've seen him a few times. He's helped out a lot at fixing the front yard and taking care of my mom's flowers over the summer, remember?"

I began to explain to him, though it shouldn't be a surprise that my dad doesn't recognize Ren. He is always working so it's not like he's going to remember who I hang out with...

"Ren? Oh! I'm sorry my boy, I didn't recognize you. It's been a while since I've last seen you."

While my father spoke to Ren, I decided to take a glance at Eli who was just standing there, being quiet, not caring what was going on in front of him. Our eyes met for a brief moment and all I saw was pain and guilt in those light-blue eyes of his. I then shifted my eyes to his knuckles, they were bloody and scraped. I'm not even sure if that's Eli's blood or Ren's. I hate seeing him like this! It seemed that Eli caught notice of me staring at his knuckles because he immediately shoved his bloodied-up hands inside his pockets...

"Well, Ren... I think it's best if I drive you home. I can't let you drive with those types of injuries."

My father kindly suggested as he placed his hand on Ren's shoulder...

"Oh, no sir, that's very generous of you but I'm fine with driving back, it's not as painful as it looks. Luna, goodnight and...I'll talk to you later."

Ren replied as he waved me and my Father goodbye. Though deep down, I knew all too well that Ren was lying... he was hurting. He could barely walk straight without having to limp his way to his car. I wish I could help him and apologize for tonight, I feel awful. But if I offered my help...it'll just make things worse between Eli and me.

"Elijah, I think it's best if you leave as well."

My father said while glaring back at Eli, though I was stunned when Elijah spoke back to my father with such stubbornness!
