Chapter 1: Leaving home
My name is luna like the moon, I live in New York City, and Im 20 years old. I never get the chance to travel around the world so one summer I wanted to experience a new place away from home.
I went through a bad break up with my boyfriend AJ, he use to beat me all the time. Now his in jail' I never have felt so free. I knew I had to move on from him. Ive always wanted to visit Paris, so I took a crazy chance.
On my way to the air port my ex boyfriend leaves me a voicemail on my phone saying (I will find you when I get out of here, and then I will hurt you..You cant leave me!)
I was always afraid of him but just one time in my life I had to be strong.
First day in paris and everything looks amazin.
The place that im staying at has a beautiful view, I cant wait to explore paris.
I decided to go out tonight to get a drink with a friend that I havent seen in a long time, her name is jessica.
Jessica and I met when we was in high school together in New York City but then her parents moved her to paris, im so happy to see her.
When I told jessica about my bad break up with Aj, she couldnt believe it.
She tells me about her boyfriend, and how they been dating for two years and they have not gotten married.
She says that her boyfriend seems scared of takin that big step.
Jessica takes me to her favorite bar in paris, as we walking in the bar i think to my self how beautiful is this place i dont ever wanna leave from here.
We are having an amazing time in the bar, there was so many people dancin and having so much fun.
All night long we were dancing and then i lost control and slip and fell over a spilled drink, i fell into someones hands. "I felt so bad"
Maybe not so bad since i looked up and all i saw was amazing light brown eyes, with a wonderful smile.
"I felt like i was gonna melt."
His name was Toby, he didnt take his eyes of me but nether did i.
It felt so right!
Toby and i stayed up all night just talking about our selfs.
Toby was the kind of man that i should be afraid of, looking bad with good inside."
It was getting late, and
as toby walks me home we talk even more.
TOBY: I would like to see you again."
ME: I dont think we can see each other again. (I wanted to kick my self for saying that")
He smiles and gives me a kiss on my cheek
The whole night i couldnt stop thinking about him!
When I tell jessica about my misterious man she will freak.
I never been with another man only with Aj, but maybe this is a good thing.
The next day already and I woke up thinking about toby! It felt like I was dreaming.
I never have felt like this before.
Jessica came over to hang out and to catch up on some things. I tell her about toby, and how I couldnt think about anything else but him.
JESSICA: Im happy for you luna, but just take it easy and remember you just got out of a bad relationship!
ME: I know jess, I should stop thinking about him, I might not even see him anymore.
JESSICA: Ok now lets go shopping and show you paris!!
ME: I love how you think!
(I know I was suposed to stop thinking about toby but in my mind I only saw his face")
I hear someone calling my name from far as I turn I dont see anyone that I know, when I turn back around I see toby standing there with a rose and not just any rose but a beautiful blue rose." (My heart was beating too fast, I couldnt get it to stop.")
TOBY: I couldnt stop thinking about you, there is something special about you and I cant figure it out!
ME: I cant stop thinking about you ether, but im afraid. I never felt this way.
TOBY: Would you like to go out for dinner tonight?
ME: "Yes I would love that."
Toby smiles and and grabs my hand and kept walking. Now I wonder were jessica have gone too.
Im getting ready for my date tonight and I hear my phone ring so I pick it up thinking it was toby.
ME: "Toby"
AJ: Who is toby!?
ME: "AJ!!?"
(The call drops and im in tears, I did not see that coming.)
I stayed home thinking about what just happend, I didnt even answer my phone at all.
