Luna Clark

Chapter 10

''How are you feeling sweetie?'' Angelina asks when she comes inside the hospital room.

''Mom where's Alexander?'' I ask desperately.

''It's late and Alexander has school tomorrow so I told him to go home'' Angelina replies.

I can't believe the doctors won't let me go home. The doctor complained about how I have early signs of Anorexia again and early signs of Anemia. Everyone keeps on asking me how am I feeling. I'm fine! I just need to get out of this place and find Alexander. He kissed me. I keep on replaying his words in the back of my head. The way he kissed me. So passionate. I can't believe my first kiss was in a hospital room.

Around 9 o'clock Angelina finally convinces the doctor she'll make sure I take my vitamins. They gave me iron pills and vitamins. I really don't know what the problem is, I feel fine. I do have to admit that I'm very weak. I promised Alexander and Angelina I'll be eating right. The doctors also took blood out of me which was the worse part. I hate needles.

''I wouldn't recommend you to go to school for a few days Luna'' The doctor tells me before I leave.

The car drive is silent. Angelina doesn't speak a word. I ignore her until we get home. I go directly to my room and take a hot bubble bath. I think of Alexander's pouty lips on mine. I also think of dad, he would be very disappointed at me for doing it again. I don't know what has gotten to me. I promised him I won't ever do it again and I'm breaking my promise again. The bathroom door flies open and Angelina sits on floor next to me.

''I can't believe we're going through this again Luna.'' She says and looks down.

''I'm sorry...'' I whisper to her.

''Why do you keep on doing this to yourself?'' She asks.

Why does everyone always asks me the same question? There's nothing to understand. I already told her I will eat and take those stupid pills. I don't answer any of her questions and she finally leaves me alone. I continue to enjoy my bubble bath for a few more minutes. I wrap my hair in a towel and put on some underwear and a black t-shirt. I find my sleepers and go downstairs. I grab myself a glass of cold water and grab my phone from her bag. Angelina is sitting in her bed finishing some paper work.

''Can I go to school tomorrow?'' I ask her.

''If you promise to take the pills in the morning. Eat breakfast and lunch. Alexander will be watching you.'' She tells me.

''Alexander isn't my babysitter mom! And I already told you I will'' I say and roll my eyes.

''Go to sleep now. Goodnight Luna'' She says.

I open my eyes to the sound of the rain Monday morning. I get ready for school and go downstairs. There's a sticky note on the dinner table. 'Take vitamins. Grab a granola bar. I already put money on your backpack. Buy lunch. I'll be back at 8. Love you, Mom.' I grab a glass of water and take the pills. Before heading out I grab the granola bar and eat it outside. I forgot to remind Alexander I was going to school so I have to walk, since he already left.

When I arrive to school, Alexander, Jacob, and Jenna are sitting at our usual bench. I hope Alexander hasn't mentioned that I have mental problems. Alexander's face lights up when I take a seat next to him.

''Luna! I thought you were supposed to have a cold?'' Jacob asks.

''False alarm! I feel better now'' I laugh and turn to Alexander.

''Well you look beautiful these morning even though you the flu'' Jenna tells me.

''The flu and cold aren't the same thing Jenna'' Jacob tells her.

They argue over the differences between a cold and the flu until the bell rings. I avoid Alexander and walk to Literature class by myself. He takes his usual seat next to me and observes me the whole time. After third hour I finally decide to speak to him. I'm not sure if he told Jacob the truth or really made up that lie about me having a cold.

''Have you told anyone?'' I ask him without looking at him.

''And why would I do that? Luna I care about you'' He says.

Alexander snuggles me into his arms and kisses the top of my head. I wrap my hands around him and rest my head on his chest. I like being this close to him. I wonder if he has forgotten we kissed yesterday. Are we like dating now?

''Where do you wanna go after school?'' He asks.

''Let's eat lunch at my house'' I suggest.

The rest of my classes go by slow. I check my phone very five minutes until its 2 o'clock. Alexander is waiting for me in his car. I hurry to get inside since its raining. We drive home and go inside my house. Alexander sits on the dinner table and I open the refrigerator door. I grab the jam, lettuce, and tomatoes.

''Would you like a sandwich?'' I ask him.

''I've been craving your delicious sandwiches for a while Luna Clark'' He says and smirks at me.  

Is he talking dirty to me? I blush. I make two jam sandwiches and grab myself a glass of cold water. After I finish this sandwich I really need to exercise.. I erase that thought from my head and take a look at my sandwich one more time.  Alexander sits on the couch and turns the flat screen on. I hang him a plate and sit next to him. He watches me carefully as I take a bite from my sandwich. He smiles.

''Has anyone ever told you how sexy you are when you bite your food Luna Clark?'' He asks and smirks.

''What....?'' I ask.

What's up with him and all these food lines? I ignore him and finish my sandwich. It feels nice to be eating again. Alexander seemed really worried about me yesterday. Is that why he kissed me? Is he faking feelings for me so I can feel better? Does he even remember we kissed yesterday? I look at him but he's really into the movie we're watching. What if my mom is paying him to spend time with me? That wouldn't be possible...could it?

Alexander takes the plates to the sink and washes them. I pretend to be really into the movie when he comes back. This time he sits really close to me. He places his hand around my waist and snuggles me into his arms. Oh no. Netflix and chill. It's all over the internet these days. I rest my head on his chest. Next thing I know is we are cuddling in my couch. The movie is so boring that is giving me a headache. I close my eyes and fall asleep on Alexander's arms.

Alexander's P.O.V

Luna is sleeping in my arms. I could lay here with her forever. I hold her tight in my arms. She looks like an angel who has taken me to heaven. What have I done to deserve this moment? What have I done to deserve her? She's lost in peaceful dreams and I'm lost in heaven holding her in my arms. I look at every detail of her face. The way she breathes like a baby sleeping in her mother's arms for the first time. How can she be so perfect? I kiss her head slowly making sure I won't wake her up.

I watch her sleep for half an hour until she slowly opens her eyes. I have turned the flat screen off so I could watch her sleep. She slowly opens her blue eyes and smile. She looks so beautiful when she smiles.

''I was really tired'' She says in between a yawn.

What are you doing to me Luna Clark? Every time I look at her it's like the first time. I can't help myself anymore. I look at her lips and back to her blue eyes. I move slowly and close my eyes. I kiss her. She takes me to another place, somewhere I've never been before. She makes me feel something I can't explain with words. I place my hand on her cheek and hold her face for a better kiss. I feel her tongue run through my mouth. She lays on top of me without breaking the heated kiss. I place my hands around her waist. She bites my bottom lip. Her hands run through my shirt and I slowly pull away.

''What's wrong?'' She asks.

''What time is it?'' I ask.

''I don't know...''She replies.

''I forgot to pick up Lily'' I freak out.
