I wake up Sunday morning feeling very weak. I didn't eat anything else yesterday but that cereal bowl. I walk to my bathroom and the whole room spins. I lose my balance and fall down. I look up to the bathroom ceiling but everything is suddenly fading to gray. I fainted.
Alexander's P.O.V.
''Hello?'' I pick up my phone.
''Alexander...It's Angelina...I need your help. Luna fainted this morning, the doctors said her blood cells are very low. Luna has a problem Alexander I need your help!'' Ms. Clark tells me crying.
''I'll be right there in a minute Ms. Clark'' I say and hang up.
I grab my leather jacket from upstairs and hurry to my car. I drive as fast as I can. When I arrive to the hospital Ms. Clark is sitting at the waiting room. She is crying. I hurry to her and give her a tight hug. She starts crying in my arms. I want to know what's going on but I just let her cry her feelings out.
''Luna hasn't been eating again Alexander, her condition is getting serious again. I don't know what to do. The doctors say she needs help but I just don't know what to do'' Ms. Clark tells me.
''I need to see her? What happened?'' I ask worried.
My heart is beating so fast. I need to see Luna. What is going on? Is she okay? What happened? What condition? What does she mean? A million questions and thoughts run through my mind. I need to see her! I need to look at her blue eyes and make sure she's okay. I need to snuggle her in my arms and have her soft skin next to mine. I need to see her!
''She's awake, you can go see her'' Ms. Clark tells me.
I run until I find her hospital room. She is laying on the bed with wires glued to her chest. Her skin is very pale and she's so weak she can't give me a full smile. There's sadness beneath her blue eyes. It hurts me seeing her like this. It hurts me knowing that she doesn't like herself. Why would she do this to herself. I wish she could know how beautiful and perfect she is to me. Since the day I met her I knew she keeps something hidden away.
''Hey, are you feeling better?'' I ask her and fake a smile.
''I'm fine, I just fainted but I'll be fine'' She says slowly with a weak voice.
''Is there any particular reason why you fainted?'' I ask her.
''I don't know ...'' She whispers.
''Luna why are you doing this to yourself?'' I ask her worried.
''What are you talking about?'' She replies. She can't even talk.
''Why are you doing this to yourself Luna. Because you don't look a certain way? I want you to know you're the most beautiful girl I've ever met my whole life. You have the most beautiful smile. I love your hair like that when you put it up into a bun. I love how your blue eyes sparkle when you laugh. Stop hating yourself. You make this world a better place. You're perfect to me Luna Clark.'' I speak my heart out.
Luna doesn't say anything, I don't expect her to. I just want her to get better so I can help her. So I can wake her up from this nightmare and make her realize how beautiful she is. I fell for Luna Clark since the very first day I met her in Literature class. The tall blonde who took my seat that day. I remember looking into her blue eyes and realized that it was love at first sight.
''Alexander you don't understand...'' She whispers.
''What is it that I don't understand? That you're not perfect?! Luna Clark look at yourself, but really look at yourself you're so beautiful and you don't see that!'' I can't help myself anymore so I yell at her.
''Alexander you don't understand, I know you're trying to make me feel better. I'm scared I'm not good enough. You will never understand what it feels like to be in so much pain. To be so insecure. To not be thin enough. To be alone all the damn time with no one to listen. To be worthless. To not be perfect...'' She whispers and tears scroll down her face.
Shut up Luna Clark. I bent next to her bend. I look into her deep blue eyes. I can't help myself anymore so I kiss her. My heart is beating so fast. She kisses me back. I've wanting to kiss her since the very first day I saw her. I kissed her with so much passion. I run my tongue across her bottom lip Her soft lips move along with mine...until the doctor comes in.
''Sorry to interrupt...but I need to have a private talk with Luna Clark'' The nurse tells us.
I look back at Luna who is blushing. She looks so adorable. I can't believe I just kissed her. I go back to the waiting room where Ms. Clark is drinking some coffee. She's not crying anymore. I take a seat next to her and analyze everything that just happened. Luna needs my help.
''How is she? Did she talk to you?'' Ms. Clark asks.
''Yeah she talked to me. Luna is not okay. She's going through a hard time accepting herself did you knew that?'' I ask her.
''It's her father again. She has been like this since she turned 13. When she felt like she couldn't fit in with the girls at school. As you can see she's always apart from kids her age. When her father died she grew apart not just from kids her age but apart from me. I'm never there for her, I don't know how to be there for her.'' Ms. Clark tells me and looks down
''I know what she's going through. It's very hard to lose someone like that. She is also very self-conscious she can't see her beauty'' I tell her.
''Alexander she seems to be close to you. Please help her. Please help her eat again. If I try to help her she'll grow apart from me and I don't know what to do anymore. We've been through this once with her father and she ended up in hospital room with tubes all over her body. It's bad Alexander. It's very bad'' Ms. Clark tells me concerned.
''Don't worry Ms. Clark I'll make sure I help Luna in whatever way I can. But, you have to be there for her as well. She lost her father and I'm sure she needs you to be there for her, by her side.'' I tell her and she doesn't respond.
Luna makes me think of a quote I once heard about the moon. 'She was like the moon, part of her was always hidden away' That's Luna Clark. But I'll make sure I can be there for her. I really care about Luna and it hurts me seeing her like this. I'll make sure she sees her the way I see her. A beautiful girl who I'm falling in love with.
