Luna's Love

Chapter 32: First Big Fight

Luna's POV
Danny and I had a huge fight this morning. He's been really focused on his "spirituality" lately, and he finally took it too far. He did a livestream on instagram last night and told everyone he was choosing to be celibate for the entire year. If you don't know what that means, celibacy is abstaining from marriage and sexual relations, typically for religious reasons. Considering we just got engaged a few days ago, you can imagine how angry I was. Especially because I found out from instagram instead of Danny telling me himself.
"You're joking, right?" I had asked him after seeing the livestream.
"No, I want to focus on learning about who I am." He replied.
"Fine. I'm going to stay with my parents for a few days." I said angrily, heading to our bedroom to pack a suitcase.
"Why are you leaving? What's your problem with that?" Danny asked as he followed me.
"You're blowing off our wedding for a year, and for what, Danny? All that spiritual bullshit you've been so obsessed with lately? Why did you even ask me to marry you if you were just gonna do this a few days later? There was no point!" I screamed in his face, then walked into our closet, grabbing clothes to take with me. I angrily stuffed clothes into my suitcase.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't decide to do this until after everything that happened with that guy. I can't even stand to think about sex right now. I thought I'd take the pressure off by choosing this." He replied.
"I love you, Danny, but I disagree with your thinking. I can't think about it right now either, but that doesn't mean I want to put off our wedding because of it!" I yelled at him.
"Please don't leave." Danny begged.
"I'm sorry. I'm not staying here right now. I can barely stand to look at you, and I certainly don't want to be in the same house with you at the level of pissed off I'm currently feeling. I don't want to do something I'll regret later, so it's better that I just leave." I replied, zipping up my suitcase and pushing past him.
Soon, I was on a plane back to the East Coast, where I grew up. Danny was constantly texting and calling me, but I just ignored it. I got a Twitter notification and opened my phone.
@AdoreDelano: I just want Luna to come home. I miss her so much :'(
@AdoreDelano: She won't even respond to my texts. She's really mad at me :'(

I saw a ton of responses asking what happened and where I was, so I decided to make my own tweet.
@PrincessLunaDelano: Danny and I got into a messy argument and I left. It's just for a few days.
@PrincessLunaDelano: I'm staying with my parents until I choose to return home. I'm really upset with Danny right now.
@PrincessLunaDelano: I love you, Danny. I just don't think talking right now will do anything but make it worse.

I immediately got tons of replies asking what the argument was about. I ignored them. If Danny wants to tell them, fine, but I'll leave that to him. I don't even want to talk about it. Finally, I landed at the airport and exited the plane. My parents were waiting for me inside and I ran over to them, hugging them.
"Why did you decide to come home all of a sudden?" My mom asked.
"Danny and I got into an argument and I didn't want to be there anymore." I responded.
"About what?" She asked.
"He wants to be celibate for a year. Literally 3 days after he proposes, he decides to put off our wedding for a year. I'm so mad at him." I replied, still feeling angry.
"I'll go back in a couple days. I just need time away from him to calm down." I continued.
When I got home, I sat in my bedroom and watched Netflix alone. Danny was still texting and calling, but I just ignored it all. I wanted to be alone and get over being mad at Danny so I could go home to him.
-2 days later-
Finally, I decided to text Danny and tell him that I'm ready to come home.
Me: baby, I wanna come home now. I'm still not happy about your decision, but I still want to be by your side.
Danny: I miss you so much! I can't wait to see you. Please don't ever leave like that again. I was scared you'd never come back.
Me: I was always coming back, Danny. I just needed to calm down. I won't do that again, though. I'd much rather be next to you than on the other side of the country. I'll see you in a few hours when I get home. I love you, Danny <3
Danny: I love you too, Luna. Hurry up and get home, I'm so lonely without your beautiful face in my house

I turned my phone on airplane mode and boarded the plane. I'll never leave like that when I'm upset again. I missed Danny far too much when I finally got done being angry with him. I closed my eyes and soon I was back in Seattle. I turned airplane mode back off and saw a text from Danny saying that he was coming to pick me up. I smiled and walked off of the plane. I started running when I saw Danny. We both cried happy tears as we hugged. Even though we were only apart for 2 days, it felt like I left for years.
"I missed you so much!" Danny said as he hugged me too.
"I missed you too, Danny!" I replied, kissing him.
"I have something for you." Danny said with as smile as we pulled away.
"What is it?" I asked.
"You'll see when we get home. I got it yesterday, and I know you'll love it." He replied. He grabbed my hand and we walked to his car.
When we got home, excitement took over. I was anxious to find out what Danny's surprise was. As we walked up to the front door, I heard meowing.
"Oh, Danny! You got a cat?!" I asked excitedly. He nodded and I hugged him, jumping excitedly. I opened the door and saw the cutest little black kitten sitting there.
"Aww, it's so tiny and cute!" I exclaimed, leaning down and picking up the kitten.
"What do you want to name her?" Danny asked with a smile.
"I think her name should be Ink." I replied, earning a meow from the kitten.
"I think she agrees." Danny laughed. I kissed Ink on the head and sat her back down on the floor.
"Thank you so much. I love you." I said to Danny. He smiled and kissed me. I sighed and put my head on his shoulder.
"I'm glad to have you back. This place just doesn't feel like home without you anymore." Danny replied, rubbing my back softly.
"I'm happy to be home. It felt like I was gone a lot longer than two days." I sighed.
"It felt like forever. I was starting to go a little crazy." Danny said. I laughed and closed my eyes, listening to the sound of his heart beating.
