AUTHORS NOTE: Sorry again for the late update I have to stay after school for step practice so I get home late. Plus I have to do my homework :( i'll post another chapter. Thank you for reading my story!

Dr.King looks at Luna "The bracelet?" Luna looks down "The day Augustus died he bought me two things one of them are these star earrings. The other was a charm bracelet he had custom made for me...." DR.King takes notes "Go on." Luna nods her head "The bracelet was big, but I didn't care and wore it right away so when we crossed the street it fell onto the crosswalk and I didn't notice until we got to the other side." Luna begins to cry uncontrollably "I'm sorry It's just I when I saw him get hit by that car in front of me because he went to grab the bracelet I dropped...I lost it I held his body as the blood left his body and all I could do was cry." Dr.King frowns "It's not your fault he died...Augustus went into the street for you,but that was his choice you didn't force him." Luna wipes her tears away "I know that but it hurts too much." Dr.King looks at Luna trying to change the subject "Do you still love Jake? Remember in our old sessions you use to go on about Jake." Luna's face turns red "He's dating someone...I don't think I feel that way about him anymore." Dr.King smiles "Oh so it's that boy who dropped you off? What's his name?" Luna frowns "His name is Ethan and I don't feel that way towards him?" Dr.King laughs "Luna Luna when will you learn to love I wonder."

Luna sighs "Well I think Ethan is handsome and he smells really good...His eyes are these amazing shade of green and his smile is mysterious...His hair is soft and he's strong because he could lift me. He likes sweet food and his favorite drink is strawberry milk. He has a brother in our grade named Grayson..." Dr.King smiles widely "Luna are you sure you don't love this boy?" Luna looks at Dr.KIng confused and imagines Ethan's face and her face turns red "I'm only stating the facts." Dr.KIng raises an eyebrow "Facts or Feelings?" Luna scoffs "My type isn't someone like him." Dr.King smirks "What's your type?" Luna puts a finger to her face "I really just want someone who seems free of worries and can teach me to live like that...Oh and they should be able to play basketball and sing. For some reason I feel a man is more attractive when they can sing well." Dr.King points her pen at Luna "True that." Luna smiles when the clock rings and Dr.King frowns "Aw our time is up. You know you're my favorite client." Luna looks at Dr.KIng "Don't you say that to all your clients?" Dr.King smiles nervously "Oh well look at the time bye bye." Luna leaves Dr.Kings office *That is one interesting therapist...* Luna's phone begins to ring "Mom?" "Hey luna I have to work late can you call one of your friends to drive you home? Please don't walk I don't want you to get hurt." Luna rolls her eyes "OF course I understand." Luna walks out and checks her phone "Only a 25 minute walk i'll be fine." Luna walks through the streets "I love the night sky and weather." SCENE SWITCHES TO ETHAN

Ethan walks to the convenience store and buys strawberry milk and see's Luna walk by. "Why is she walking by herself at night?" Luna walks past a group of guys in their early twenties one guy whistles "Well would you look at that boys we got lucky." Another guy speaks "Look at that one." A guy grabs Luna's hand "Why are you walking by yourself late at night?" Luna becomes annoyed and turns around and smiles "I don't know why are you touching an highschooler?" The guys laugh and Ethan makes a fist "These guys disgust me." The guys begin to surround Luna and she becomes nervous *I won't be able to beat them up if they surround me like this...* A guy smiles "Aw are you scared?" Luna grabs the guys hand and twist it the guy screams in pain. Ethan runs towards the guys and beats them all up. Luna looks at him and he grabs her hand "Stupid..I'll lecture you later." One of the guys gets up "Get them!" Ethan looks at Luna "Can you run fast?" Luna smiles "well you'll see." the two run away from the group of men and Ethan smiles "you are fast." Luna stops and sees the guys aren't anywhere Ethan stops too. Luna looks at Ethan "Thanks for saving me back there..." Ethan smiles "What was that?" Ethan face is close to Luna's and her face turns red "I said thanks..." Ethan smiles "Now... How could you walk by yourself at night and not expect guys to hit on you? A girl like yourself would attract to many guys."

Luna is shocked *is he saying I'm attractive?* Ethan looks to see Luna's face red and he becomes embarrassed "Well... I can't stay mad at you..." Ethan ruffles Lunas hair "I'll walk you home and I won't take no for an answer." Luna nods her head "Alright..." Ethan is shocked "Really I thought you would refuse and be all dramatic like NO I'LL WALK HOME MYSELF." Luna laughs "I'll be nicer to you. Ok?" Ethan frowns "Wait but you're nice to everyone else and I don't want to be just everyone else to you." Luna makes a confused face "So you want me to be mean to you?" Ethan becomes flustered "No I just want you to treat me like how you treat Jake." Luna recalls things she done to Jake like put cold water in his face and beat him up and the list goes on. Luna laughs "I don't think you want me to treat you the way I treat Jake..." Ethan smiles "Well am I friend to you?" Luna smiles warmly and looks at Ethan "Defiantly." Ethan face turns red "Your smile it was genuine." Luna looks down "Well to be honest I can smile comfortably when I'm around you." Luna stops "Well i'm home and uh... thanks again for saving me back there." Ethan hugs Luna "Well are punishment isn't over and I can't have you leaving me with that burden." Luna smirks "Good night." Luna enters her house and Ethan calls reggie his limo driver who shows up very quickly. Ethan approaches the vehicle "That was quick...were you following me again?" Reggie smiles "You hugged the girl? I thought you said she didn't like hugs." Ethan smiles "Well i'm an exception."
