Luna's POV

"You're staring again." Shawn said, snapping me out of my train of thought.

"What?"

"You are staring at Nick. Luna, he's obviously over you and if you wanted him to still be in your life you could've tried just like he did." That's the thing I hate but love about Shawn, he's honest and speaks his mind even if it's something I don't want to hear. He's right though.

"What happened, happened. It's too late to fix things, so I'm over it." That was a lie, and Shawn knew it but he just went back to eating his muffin. For someone who eats at least two muffins a day, he's pretty fit.

I felt someone's arms wrap around me and I jumped at the touch. It was Zayn.

"Hey babe" He said. I always hated those types of nick names. I don't know why, but something about it made me cringe.

"Hey!" I said, trying to seem excited to see him, when really all I wanted was to be alone. I see a girl hug Nick, and I try to get a look of who she is.

"What are you looking at?"

"Oh, nothing. I was just trying to see if I could find Zaray." I breathed out a light laugh.

"I know you well enough to know when you are lying." He says.

"I don't understand why you still try with him." He sounds annoyed.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"He hurt you and all he does is keep on hurting you. Don't you think that he'd try to contact you if he wanted you back in his life?"

"That's not true, he's not all that bad. He tried." I try to convince Zayn that Nick is a good guy.

"When was the last time he talked to you?" He asked.

"About a month ago." I say, sadly.

"Exactly. He's not trying, he clearly doesn't need you in your life and you don't need him."

"He did try! I could talk to him too, he's not the only one who has to fix this mess." I feel my face heating up with anger.

"You didn't do anything. He's the reason you guys aren't friends. He's the one who hurt you, so he has to be the one who has to fix this. Which he clearly doesn't want to do." Zayn brutally said.

"Yeah, I guess you're right." I lie. I'm not going to put all the blame on Nick.

"So I've been meaning to ask you.." I say.

"Yeah?"

"Can I come boxing with you?" I ask.

"You wanna come boxing with me? Why?" He says, with a small grin.

"I just want to spend some time with you, and I know how much you love boxing so I thought I'd try it out." I say. This was a lie too. I've been lying a lot today. I wonder if my nose is becoming like Pinocchio's. The reason I want to go boxing is to learn self defense. Sadly women have to fear everything, especially men since they can't control themselves.

"Tonight at 6:30?" He asks. I just nod.

-

"Oh, look at you dressed all sporty." Zayn grins.

"Shut up." I say, rolling my eyes playfully.

(a/n I've never went boxing so I don't really know how it works so let's just pretend I know what I'm doing, thx !!)

(Pretend this is after they do warm ups and shit)

"Punch it harder, Luna." Zayn says, starting to get impatient.

"I'm trying, don't you see I'm a lil bean."

"You need to bring more power into your arms."

"And how do I do that?" I ask.

"Get angry. Pretend that it's Nick." He says.

"I can't do that!" I say, in shock. Yes, I might be mad at Nick but I would never physically hurt him.

"Try Luna. It'll help, I promise." He says. I do what he says, so he can shut up. I'm not in the mood to argue.

Flashbacks from Jack's party fill my mind. I could hear Nick call me an annoying bitch and that he's not wrapped around my finger. That asshole. He clearly was wrapped around my finger, I laugh to myself.

All this anger was filling my body, and I released it onto the strike bag. One hit, two, three, four. I got lost in the moment and stopped myself once I heard Zayn speak.

"That's my girl!" Zayn said, smiling. I brushed off the fact that he called me 'his girl'. I'm not his property but whatever. I continued punching and kicking the bag. I didn't notice how much anger I held inside until I was too tired to continue punching. I'm going to be so sore.

I hope this was a little more interesting. I'm ending this book in about 3 more chapters I think? It might be a little longer idk yet. But I know what I'm doing y'all. Omg I just noticed, thanks for 2k views :))
