Luna's pov
As I hugged him my heart skipped, my eyes twitched as they were closed shut as tight as I could squeeze them. And my ears were blocking out every sound that was interfering with me.
His arms were my warm barrier. And his chin resting on my head was like a helmet. I asked him to not let go and he listened to me.
But something about this felt weird. Not right.
And if something is even the tiniest bit not right, I will step out of it and not take the risk.
So I did, I pulled out of him with my weight and stood up. He looked up at me. With confusion. We both stared into our scared, bloodshot eyes.
I tried to speak to him, tell him why I was doing this, when he was the only one comforting me in this riot, but the words couldn't come out, I just stuttered, and stuttered, and stuttered.
And the more I did the more the tears would pour down my face.
I couldn't tell his face, I couldn't tell to his face that something about me didn't love him, didn't need him but then I was stopping myself from saying it, because one half was telling me no, and the other was telling me yes.
But it's just the way he looked at me, big brown eyes you could get lost in. His lips pushed together as he licked them. And his hair was perfectly scruffy. With small strands falling onto his forehead.
So I ran away, and I left him on the floor as his friends patted his back watching me leave.
And I didn't stop, I didn't quite know where I was going, I was just running through where the crowd's direction seemed to be going.
But as my breaths caved in and out. One inhale became weak so I stopped to help my lugs revive.
I looked back, I dunno why, Grayson was far back but I just watched everyone. As my eyes squinted, I saw a bed with a girl laying peacefully in it, being carried by the police, she looked weak, almost, dead.
"Who is that" I whispered to myself.
The more they rushed closer near me the more her face became familiar.
"LAUREN" I screeched.
When my whole body hit the floor, and me blacking out completely.

My elbows lifted my chest weight up looking around, I was in a different hotel.
My hair was damp, and messy.
when Kaylee marched in "oh hey sleepy" she smiled leaning over to the edge of my bed.
"Where are we" I lightly rubbed my head.
"We are at the hotel we've always dreamed of, don't need to stress now lu, no teachers just us" she held the back of her head with her hands, relaxing.
"What happened to me" I coughed, my throat was dry, ew.
"You just collapsed for a bit and I had to carry you and walk to our hotel in the rain, but no biggy, you aren't that heavy" she took a cracker out of the packet and crunched on it
"Why did I collapse?" I sniffed
"Well because of all the drama obviously but what actually made you pass out was you seeing the sight of Lauren" the side of her lip lifted.
My eyes widened as I remembered the whole situation, I properly sat up now, blinking a couple time to get into reality.
"Where is Lauren? Is she okay?" I asked
