I paced the length of the locker room
"I'm sure she's just gone somewhere to clear her head Luna, calm down"
Joe firmly gripped my upper arm to stop me from moving.
I had thought about this non-stop sense Jon told me about Lexi storming out and not coming back, I forcefully ran my hands through my hair
"Are you not worried about her?!" He let out a frustrated sigh
"Yes Luna, I'm actually worried to death about her. You aren't the only one that cares about her, okay?!" I forcefully pulled my arm from his grip
"I know I'm not the only one who cares about her, I know that we'll. I am the only one who is actually trying to find her, It's my job to freak out about something like this! Do you understand how I feel-"
"This isn't about how you feel, this is about finding Lexi, the only way we can do that is if you let us help you! Not push us away. You're acting really selfish right now" I glared at him
"I don't need this right now, I'm not fighting with you over something like this" I dismissed him with a wave of my hand and walked into the small changing area, I pulled on some Jean shorts and navy blue belly shirt with complete with all black converse. When I walked out Joe glanced up from the T.V
"Aj is shooting her promo" my attention drifted to the T.V
"I am the queen! I am top notch, I am what gives this divas division life! With out me, they would all crash and burn" she was interrupted by a chorus of boos
"Each and everyone of you plastics should bow before me-" I had heard enough, I left the locker room with out a word and got to the gorilla in seconds. As soon as my theme hit Aj rolled her eyes and glared in my direction
"Hello Aj! How are you?" I waved excitedly to her once I got in the ring
"I was wonderful" I pouted at her
"Don't like being beat by a rookie?" Her nostrils flared
"You did not pin me! It doesn't count" I smirked at her
"Records say I beat you Aj, pinned or not" she started yelling at me
"Anyway! That's not why I'm out here, I over heard you saying that everyone should bow down before you because you're 'The Queen'. I'm gonna keep it short and sweet, Aj. All great things must come to an end, and for you, the end is near-" she knocked the microphone out of my hand and pounced on me, this time I was ready for her. I side stepped her and got a death grip on her hair
"Not this time, honey!" I pulled her to the mat forcefully and started throwing punches, she pushed me off and I rolled into the corner pulling myself into a crouching position. She slowly recovered, I waited. Aj got up and looked around for me. I rushed toward her full speed, spearing her to the mat. Her body abruptly jerked forward then hit the mat roughly, I smiled down at her and grabbed the microphone, she was motionless as I grabbed her hair and lifted her ear to my lips
"Long live the queen!" I chanted into the mic, the crowd was cheering loudly while I backed up the ramp. Aj better watch out, I'm coming for her title. My grin completely disappeared when I saw Jon walking in the hall, shoulders slumped. He looked over at me. I suddenly felt bad, I walked over to him
"What is it?" He furrowed his brows
"You look like.. Not good." I cleared my throat
"Um, thanks-"
"That came out wrong, you're just- Lexi missing effects you as well. I should've thought about that, instead of treating you like garbage-" he crossed his arms over his chest
"Okay Luna, where is this going?" I struggled at what to say next, it isn't exactly easy to apologize to an asshole, but I was wrong for how I treated him
"I guess I'm saying that.. I regret the way that I treated you" he gave me a smirk, oh gosh.
"Aww, are you apologizing to me Luna?!"
"No. I just said that I regret the way I treated you"
"Sounds like a sorry to me, and of course I'll forgive you!" He pulled me in tightly
"Okay, okay! Now get off of me" I pushed him away
"Oh come on Luna! You know you kinda don't entirely dislike me" this time I crossed my arms
"No I entirely dislike you"
"Yeah right, let's go find your other half" he ruffled my hair and I punched his arm
-------
"Joe! You will not believe this, Luna apologized to me. Me!" I rolled my eyes and plopped in the locker room couch
"Wait, she did what?" Joe played along. Lexi. She popped into my head out of no where, I felt tears sting my eyes
"Luna, I was just joking man. Don't cry"
"Dude!" I heard a thump followed by an 'ow!' Jon sat beside me rubbing his arm
(JonPOV)
I sat beside her
"I didn't mean to make you cry Luna-" she looked at me with red eyes and a trembling lip, then threw her arms around my torso hugging me tightly.
I jumped slightly and looked at Joe, he looked surprised. After a while I lowered my arms around her as she shook and cried silently, I awkwardly rubbed her back. Joe walked out, leaving me alone with her. Great.
"Luna?" I kept my voice low, not sure how to respond to her hugging me
"It isn't you Jon, I miss Lexi. I miss her so much, and it kills me not knowing where she is or how she is doing. I just need to hear from her, and I would hate myself if the last memory I have of her is me yelling at her. It's eating at me. My brother is going back to the army really soon, and I'm terrified that something will happen to him. I just don't know what to do anymore. For some reason, you help me. Sitting next to you-in some weird way- is like being around Lexi."
I was quiet as she spoke, staring at her red face as I took in everything she just told me. She wiped her eyes and played with my fingers. The way she looked right now reminded me of Lexi. I know, they aren't related and they share no resemblance, but they've been around each other for so long that they do everything the same.
When Lexi cries, she pushes a piece of hair behind her ear and her nose turns really red. Luna is mirroring that exactly. They are so much alike that it's scary-well at any other point it would be- but for now, Luna is a form of comfort to me. She is my.. Alexis. I drew in a breath when Luna looked up at me. Luna is a brunette Lexi, and all of the things I love about Lexi are there. In that moment I realized how much Luna and I rely on each other with Lexi being gone. If I wanted I could just....
"Jon?...." I pulled my hand from hers and rested it on the nape of her neck, slowly pulling her close to me. The locker room door opened and I quickly dropped my hand, she pulled away and stared at the ground. I looked at Joe who looked confused
"You guys alright?" No. I nearly kissed your girlfriend. Luna spoke up
"Yeah, we're alright" she eyed me cautiously, I cleared my throat
"We're good"
