Falling Slowly

Who's Augustus?

AUTHOR'S NOTE:SORRY! For the late update to make up for it i'll post another chapter!

The school day continues and then it's time to go home. Ethan looks to see Luna's not at her desk. "Her stuff is still here...where'd she go?" Ethan walks out the classroom and hears Luna and Jake talking in the hallway. Jake looks at Luna "Are you okay?" Luna nods her head "Yeah why wouldn't I be?" Jake sighs "I know the car thing that Mackenzie said was not ok with you I saw it in your eyes...You were scared and I yelled at Mackenzie for that. What she said was out of line even if she didn't know about Augustus." Luna looks down "Jake have you ever seen me cry before?" Jake looks at Luna "Once,but you didn't make a sound you just had tears coming down your face." Luna smiles weakly "I've only cried hard once, and that is when Augustus died in my arms...So your girlfriend yelling at me won't hurt me." Ethan is quiet hiding behind the wall *Augustus?* Jake smiles at Luna "I'll walk you to your appointment with Dr.King." Luna smiles "That would be nice." Ethan runs past the two and Luna looks at him "Where are you going in such a hurry?" Ethan smiles "None your business." and runs off Luna puts up her fist clenching it "Why you.." Jake laughs as Ethan runs all the way to Luna's house. "I never realized how nice her house is.." Ethan rings the doorbell and Apollo opens the door "You!" Ethan smiles nervously "Can I come in?" Apollo nods his head and let's Ethan come in. Apollo closes the door "Sit down make yourself comfortable...Do you want anything to drink?" Ethan sits down "Uh no I uh wanted to ask you some questions about Luna?" Apollo sits down "Why don't you just ask her yourself?" Ethan chuckled nervously "She's kinda scary sometimes..." Apollo nods his head "You're right,so ask away." Ethan looks up at Apollo "Who is Augustus?" Apollo's face becomes sad "He was our older brother." Ethan looks at Apollo "Was?" Apollo nods his head "He got hit by a car when he was 16. I don't know the details,but I know Luna saw the whole thing and that he died in her arms from blood loss...Anyway is that why you came all the way here for?" Ethan looks at Apollo "I'm guessing the star earings that Luna always wears were given to her by Augustus since she never takes them off." Artemis comes down stairs "Yup except when she's cleaning her ears she takes them off. I don't think I've introduced myself Hi i'm Artemis Luna's younger sister and Apollo's twin." Ethan smiles "Hi nice to meet you Artemis." Artemis raises a brow "Are you Luna's boyfriend?" Ethan looks up shocked "No we're just friends." Artemis looks at Ethan than Apollo "well do you guys want something to drink?" Apollo looks at Ethan "Let me guess you like strawberry milk." Ethan nods his head "How'd you know?" Apollo turns on the t.v Ethan makes a confused face *he ignored my question?* Artemis hands Ethan strawberry milk and Apollo orange juice "Here." Ethan looks up at Artemis who's holding Apple juice in her hand "You like Apple juice?" Luna walks with Jake "My appointment isn't till later so let's head inside my house." Luna unlocks the door "Yeah maybe we could..." Luna looks to see Ethan sitting in the living room on the couch "Ethan?!" Ethan turns around "Oh hey Luna." Luna pulls Apollo aside "What is he doing here?" Ethan stands up "We have to hang out. Remember Mr.Robinson's punishment." Artemis is shocked "Your punishment from your teacher is to hang out with a hot guy after school?!" Ethan turns around "For a week." Artemis looks at Luna "FOR A WEEK?!" Luna rolls her eyes "Alright I have time so where do you want to go?" Ethan grabs Luna's hand "You'll know when we get there." Luna put her bag down and Ethan leads her outside. The two of them walk hand in hand and Luna looks down and releases her hand then looks up at Ethan "Mr.Robinson said we had to hang out after school he never said act like a couple." Ethan looks at Luna and walks ahead "Alright well keep up then." Luna looks at the back of Ethan "Is he mad?" Ethan stops and the distracted Luna bumps into his back "Ow." Ethan smiles his back still turned to Luna "We're here." Luna looks up "Arcade?" Ethan smiles "Yeah come on Apollo told me you like video games so I want to see who's better me are you." Luna looks at Ethan determined "You're on!" Luna and Ethan head inside the arcade. Ethan points to the pacman machine "It's two player." Luna nods her head and the two play a total of five rounds. Ethan smiles "And the winner is....?" Luna looks at the screen it reads "I guess you owe me $20 bucks." She smirks at Ethan and Ethan pulls out twenty dollar bill, but stops "How about we tripple it?" Luna looks at Ethan "Keep talking.." Ethan smiles evilly "Flappy bird." Ethan plays and gets 1. Luna laughs "My turn." Luna plays and gets 1 too. She turns around "I got 2 give me the money." Ethan grabs her hand "Nope we tied so no money is going to be distributed." Luna smiles and checks her phone "It's 5:15 I have to go!" Ethan grabs Luna's wrist "Go where?" Luna is quiet "Just somewhere." Ethan follows Luna outside "We can go in my limo." A limo pulls up and Luna's jaw drops "YOU HAVE A LIMO?" Ethan laughs "She had the same reaction as Apollo." Ethan smiles "Come on you don't want to be late." Luna smiles "Coming!"
