I Choose You.(PTV)

Chapter 7- "You saved my life"

Vic's pov: 

Today I had a very big surprise for Luna. Last night Luna told me about what happened with Ben. While talking about that she told me a little about her depression. And she said music helped her through it. She told me one song in particular changed everything. And today I would bring the person that healed her so much. I would let her meet the person that took it all away.

But first she had to get up.

That sounds easy but waking up Luna is like waking a bear up. 

I walk into her room to see her fast asleep. I sigh. It's 12:20. Who's still asleep at 12:20? Apparently Luna is. I walk up to her bed and see she has headphones in. I carefully take the headphones out of her ears and put them in mine. I smile. She apparently falls asleep to "The Calm" by OM&M. I whisper to her but she doesn't move a inch. 

"Well I guess we have to do this the hard way." I say.

I scoop Luna into my arms and cradle her like a baby. 

"Vic?" she asks in a sleepy tone while opening one eye.

"Hey babe how are you?" I say.

"Ready to sleep. What time is it anyway?" she replies while closing her eyes again.

"12:20. Hey you need to wake up. Everyone else is awake." I tell her.

She opens her eyes and smiles up at me. I smile back. Even when she's completely exhausted she still looks absolutely stunning. She's wearing a Nirvana black sweatshirt and short blue athletic shorts with her hair tied up in a messy bun.

"Well time to go." I sling her over my shoulder and start walking to the kitchen.

She pleads for me to put her down but I don't listen to her.

"Vic! Put me down!" when she is about to say something else she's interrupted.

"Pretty little lady with the swollen eyes won't you show them to me?"he sings to her.

I feel Luna's body freeze.

Luna's Pov:

"Pretty little lady with the swollen eyes won't you show them to me?" 

I immediately recognize the words and the voice that now sings them to me. I feel my body freeze and clutch onto Vic.

"I know I'm not that perfect but you stay awhile, baby then you will see." his voice makes me melt. Vic puts me on the floor and I look up to him to see if it could be true. He nods his head and lets go of me. I slowly turn around and there he is.

Austin Carlile.

I can feel the tears forming in my eyes.

He opens his arms for a hug and I rush into them. 

"Y-you saved my life!" I say between sobs. 

And that was true it was all true.

*FLASHBACK 5 YEARS AGO*

Today was the day. The day I would end it all. I was fed up. Fed up with life. Fed up with arguing with my parents. Fed up with not being enough. Good enough.

I sit on the bathroom floor. I'm going to run away. Run until I find the end of the world and jump off of it. For now I'll sit here on my floor and ready myself. Ready myself for death.

I put my headphones in my ears and ignore the pounding on the door from Natalie. I can't let her see me like this. I don't want her to worry. I shuffle music by Of Mice & Men. Then I sit and look at the wall. I let the tears run down my face. Nothing's going to change. This is my last day. Soon I'll just be memory. Or maybe not even a memory.
