after that whole thing with the note and luna i did realize that i do have feelings for her. major feelings. after we found about her dad and we were comforting her she fell asleep. we let her be alone cause she clearly needed it. marcus is okay with the fact that i like her and well i never really talked about it with luna. she has been locked in her room for two days now. literally she hasn't come out. i have spoken to her mom and she is very very worried. i woke up at my normal time, mom said it was okay if we take a break from school for the rest of the week since we have been going for a while. i went downstairs to see marcus and he was eating.

martinus-"good morning marcus."

marcus-"hi."

his voice was small and he seemed upset. he hardly ate his breakfast which is concerning. he was just pushing the spoon around in his bowl and looking down.

martinus-"marcus what's wrong?"

marcus-"its luna. i'm worried about her. she hasn't left her house and days and is super sad and..."

martinus-"and?"

marcus-"and i'm afraid she doesn't love me!"

he put his head in his hands. i went over to him and gave him a hug. i could tell he needed it.

martinus-"marcus luna is crazy for you. the way she gets around you and how she lights up when you hug her. you have the key to her heart. i promise that. let's go over today. we can cheer her up and bring her some food and stuff."

marcus-"yea your right. thanks martinus i needed that. i will go get one of my sweatshirts. she loves to wear them."

he ran upstairs and got a sweatshirt. i got some food for her because she loves food. pretzels and chocolate her favorite. marcus came down with a sweatshirt and his laptop.

marcus-"good idea with the food. i brought my laptop so we could watch some movies."

martinus-"nice. mom we are going to luna's!"

mom-"ok! invite her to sleepover! her mom said she needs to get out of the house."

martinus-"ok."

off to luna's house we go.

and we were off. we walked over to her house. it wasn't as cold last time. we got to her house five short minutes later. we knocked on the door and her mom opened. she seemed happier this time which i was glad to see. she gave us huge hugs which made us smile.

mrs. anderson-"boys! i'm so happy to see you. it's really nice that you are coming to see luna! do you want anything to drink?"

marcus-"i'm ok thanks."

martinus-"no thank you."

mrs. anderson-"ok well luna is upstairs and i'm going out on a client meetings. and boys just a warning luna's room is a mess. and i mean a mess. so you guys later!"

marcus-"ok! is it okay if luna stays over our house?"

mrs. anderson-"of course! she needs to get out of her room."

martinus-"ok thank you bye!"

she closed the door. we walked up to luna's room and opened the door. the room was pitch black. i could tell she was in there because i saw movement under the blanket.

luna-"go away mom."

we turned on the lights. she was under her covers. she came up and yelled.
