*Luna's POV*

"You know I won't be able to talk to you until Monday morning when I land back in LA."  Stephen mumbled over the phone as I glanced around my apartment's kitchen for something to eat.  I grabbed an apple of the bowl in the center of the table.  "I have to go though, the plane is boarding now!  I love you."

"Okay, I'll talk to you on Monday.  Have a good trip, love you too!"  I mumbled the end reluctantly,  then hung up the phone and threw it over my kitchen table, onto the couch.  I set the apple on the table and sunk down to the floor, leaning my back against the cabinets.  Those three tiny words have been on my mind ever since Luke and I had that talk last night and I couldn't get them out of my mind.  Had I been saying it to Stephen without actually meaning it?  I didn't want to say empty words.

I meant it, didn't I?  I had to love him.  He loved me, so I loved him too.

I heard my ringtone from across the room so I got up from my position on the ground and walked over to the couch, searching through the pillows to find where I had thrown it.  I finally found and answered it before I missed it.

"Hello?"  I answered, slightly out of breath from searching so quickly.

"You okay there, Lune?"  Luke's deep voice chuckled through my speakers and I smiled to myself.  I sat down on the couch and looked around the room.

"Yeah, I'm just fine. Great, actually."  I said quickly and laughed as he laughed along with me.  I couldn't believe I had gotten my best friend back.  I felt like the luckiest girl in the world.

"Great enough that you would want to have a movie night with the boys and me for old time's sake?"  We always used to have movie nights; they were my favorite.  I liked spending nights in my house with my favorite people more than I liked going out and pretending I was having a good time.

 "I mean, I'll have to check my calendar.  I'm a very busy person now, Lucas."  I heard him snicker on the other side of the phone and I could feel myself getting in a better mood.

"We all know you're not doing anything tonight so just come to our apartment tonight for a movie night, okay?  I'm not taking no for an answer."  I heard Calum yell in agreement in the background and then a slap which I would assume was Luke hitting him.

"Only if you're being nice to Calum."

"I'm always nice to Calum; what are you talking about?"  I rolled my eyes as he tried in a semi-high voice to convince me that he was telling the truth.

"No he's not, don't listen to him!"  I heard Calum shout and they both began to laugh and I couldn't help but join them.  "Bring Savanna, I miss that girl!"

"Yeah, I definitely will!  See you guys at seven?"  They both said seven o'clock was fine and that they would text me the address.  We said our goodbyes and I hung up, then quickly dialed Savanna's number to tell her our evening plans.  Hopefully this would be just like old times.  Hopefully our dinner yesterday didn't get me too excited for nothing.

"You're a horrible singer!"  I laughed as glanced out the window at the car lights shining around us. We began to move as the red light changed quickly to green.  I turned the dial up on the radio and began to sing along with the over played, annoying single that everyone knew the words to.  But tonight was one of those nights that I didn't care.  I was in such a good mood, that nothing could make me upset and if anything, the song only put me in a better mood.

"Yeah, okay, Lune.  Like you're any better..."  Savanna laughed as she quickly glared at me before turning her attention back to the road.

"I think that's it!"  I pointed to a tall white building on the right side of the road and Savanna quickly pulled her car over to the curb and put it in park.  I open the car door, and step out onto the sidewalk.  I find Savanna has already reached the sidewalk and I glance at our outfits, hoping we hadn't come too causal.  We were both dressed in yoga pants and sweatshirts, what we had always worn at our movie nights.
