Falling Slowly

Disappointment

Luna enters her house and sighs "I'm home Artemis! Apollo!" Luna takes off her shoes and locks the door. *I'm surprised Apollo isn't downstairs* Apollo comes downstairs "Yeah?" Luna looks at Apollo "No hug?" Apollo frowns "Do you need anything?" Luna Is mortified "Oh no you're Artemis! Who turned you into her?!" Artemis comes downstairs "No he's not me he got into a fight with one of his friends." Luna looks at Apollo "who?" Artemis smiles "well since we're twins Apollo is handsome and one of his friends who is a girl has had a crush on him for awhile. BUT this idiot didn't notice and so when she asked him out he said 'We're Just friends'." Luna looks at Apollo "Why won't you date her?" Apollo looks at Luna "Why won't you date Jake?" Luna is shocked "Because he has a girlfriend." Apollo raises an eyebrow "So if he didn't have one..." Luna looks at Apollo "I'm disappointed in you." Luna walks up stairs and Artemis laughs "You've done it now Apollo welcome to the disappointing Luna Club." Apollo looks down "I've fucked up." Luna enters her room and sits on her bed recalling Apollos comeback. "He's right how come I never asked Jake out?" Luna changes into her pajamas and lays on her bed and sighs "Love is troublesome." Apollo knocks on Luna's door "Come in." Apollo comes inside Lunas room and closes the door "I just wanted to say sorry." Luna gets up "Come sit and tell me why you have an attitude." Apollo sits on Luna's bed "My friend Amber asked me out and I don't feel... I like her but I don't love her. She got upset and told me she didn't want to be friends anymore." Luna looks down "This girl probably couldn't face you after getting rejected but saying she didn't want to be friends is childish...You should give her time." Apollo sighs "Do you still..love Jake?" Luna smiles and ruffles Apollo's hair "Why do you want to know?" Apollo looks down "Because I don't want you to get hurt...Because if you tell him your feelings and he rejects you ,won't you do the same as Amber?" Luna thinks and Apollo continues talking "I don't want you to get hurt....I want you to find someone who will love with all your heart." Luna smiles and hugs Apollo "Ok I hope I can find someone as caring as you." Apollo smiles "I have someone in mind..." Luna looks at Apollo "Who?" Apollo smiles "Ethan." Luna's face turns red "Uh..." Apollo has a wide smile "Do you like him?" Luna turns her head "I'm tired." Apollo gets up "Luna and Ethan sitting in a tree k-i-s-s-ing.." Luna throws a pillow at Apollo and Apollo catches it and throws it back "Good night." Luna lays on her bed when her phone rings "Text message?" Luna picks up her phone and sees she got a text from Ethan "Why now Ethan.." Luna reads the text it says 'Luna I hope you don't walk by yourself anymore at night after what happened today...anyway see you at school tomorrow good night.' Luna smiles and types back 'well I won't walk home by myself good night'. Ethan reads Lunas text message "This is the first time she texted me without any angry emojis." Grayson looks at Ethan "When are you going to ask her out?" Ethan smiles "I don't know..." Grayson raises a brow "Oh well if you are it better be soon even though she wears the boys pants Luna gets a lot of confessions." Ethan gets up "WHAT WHY DIDN'T SHE TELL ME ABOUT THIS?!" Grayson laughs "I hear even some upper class men asked her out. But she says no to everyone even Evan." Ethan sighs "I forgot how pretty she is and didn't realize anyone could take her from me." Grayson nods his head "Yeah and if she confesses to Jake and he says yes you'll lose your chance definitely." Ethan looks at Grayson "She likes Jake?" Grayson nods his head "Yeah Michelle told me when she came over today." Ethan frowns "Then i'll have to let her fall in love with me." The next day Luna walks to school by herself because Mackenzie wanted to take a ride with Jake. When Luna walks into the school she runs to the classroom so she can go buy apple juice after putting her bag down. When Luna walks out of the classroom a boy in class A(SMART KIDS CLASS) walks up to her his name Alex. Alex looks at Luna "Can I talk to you for a bit?" Ethan who was too busy talking with his friends is nudged by Grayson who says "Looks like she's gonna get another confession." Ethan turns around making a mad face "...WOW." Grayson smiles "You can't say anything." Ethan frowns "Why not?" Grayson points his head in a direction. A well known girl named Jackie walks up to Ethan "Can I talk to you for a second?" Ethan looks at Grayson than Jackie and smiles "Sure.." Ethan exits the classroom with Jackie. Alex looks at Luna, Jackie looks at Ethan. Alex who's very handsome says "Luna will you be my girlfriend?" Jackie who is pretty ask Ethan "Ethan will you accept my feelings and go out with me?" Luna looks at Alex with a pained expression "Sorry I like someone else." Ethan looks at Jackie with sorrow "I'm sorry,but I can't i'm in love with someone else." Jackie and Alex return to their classrooms and Ethan and Luna walk back when they bump into each other. Ethan looks at Luna "Who confessed to you?" Luna's face turns red "...Alex." Ethan nods his head "What did you say?" Luna looks at Ethan "That's none of your business." Ethan grabs Luna's hand "Please tell me you said no." Luna looks at Ethan "I said no." Luna walks the opposite direction from the classroom "Where are you going?" Luna turns around "to get apple juice." Ethan walks back to the classroom and sits on his desk. Luna grabs apple juice and a bag of chips and heads up to the roof. She sits up there the sun warming up her face and the light breeze through her hair. She sighs "Skipping class was always fun...Sometimes we need to just relax." Jake text Luna ' Where are you class is about to start.' Luna replies I'm on the rooftop wanna join me?' Jake smiles 'Yeah I'll be there in a second.' Jake raises his hand and Mr.Robinson Acknowledges it "yes Jake?" Jake smiles "Can I go to the bathroom?" Mr.Robinson nods his head and Jake gets up. Jake walks all the way up to the roof "Luna you here." Luna smiles "Yeah I'm here close the door." Jake closes the door and sits next to Luna. The breeze grows stronger and Jake's blonde hair flows in the wind "Why are you skipping?" Luna lays down "I got confessed to again and I needed to clear my head." Jake laughs "I get confessed to all the time even though I'm dating Mackenzie." Luna looks down "...yeah you're dating Mackenzie." Jake grabs Luna's hand "Your hands are still so small...Remeber When we use to play basketball with Augustus and with these tiny hands you still made buckets?" Luna laughs "or when all the girls at school tried to beat me up when you lied and said you were dating me?" Jake smiles "best lie I ever told." The two laugh and Luna sighs "Where did it all go wrong?" Jake looks at Luna "What do you mean?" Luna smiles "I've had the longest crush on you but I don't feel that way anymore." Jake looks at Luna "Luna...." Luna smiles painfully "It's more like admiration then love... I'm sorry you're dating someone and I told her she had nothing to worry about...I should go now." Jake looks at Luna "where?" Luna smiles a tear forming in her eye "Tell Ethan to drop off my backpack at my house when school ends...I need to be alone." Jake grabs Luna's hand "I'm sorry I can't return your feelings..." Luna stroke's Jake's hair "Goodbye Jake."
