Falling Slowly

Friends...

Luna opens the door and Apollo and Artemis hug her. Luna looks down at the two "Artemis I thought you were hurt?" Artemis and Apollo stick their tongues out "We just wanted to spend some time with you." Jake and Ethan walk inside and Luna laughs "So you're telling me that the one time I hang out with my friends you guys get lonely? And then want me to come home." The twins nod their heads and then they see Jake and Ethan. Artemis hugs Ethan "You came all this way to see me?" Luna shoots daggers at Artemis and Jake frowns "Where's my hug?" Artemis smiles and hugs Jake. Apollo greets Jake and Ethan "Hi..Why are you two here?" Ethan smiles nervously "Well I was worried about Artemis and your sister." Apollo smiles "Or you just wanted to spend some time with my sister alone." Ethan's face turns red and Luna grabs Apollo "Stop talking nonsense...Anyway do you guys want me stay home or can I go hang out with my friends?" Artemis and Apollo look at each other "Well then can we go with you?" Luna stares at them "You little..." Ethan grabs Luna in a back hug "You guys can come if you want. Luna do you object?" Luna's face turns extremely red *he's hugging me in front of Artemis and Apollo?!* "No...they can come..."

After Artemis and Apollo get dressed everyone gets into Ethan's limo. Artemis smiles "A limo?" Jake smiles "Wait until you see the house." When they get to Ethan's house Artemis smiles "I forgot your Rebecca's brother. Is she home?" Ethan smiles "Yeah." Luna stops "Ethan can I talk to you for a second." Ethan smiles "You guys go in violet will show you were the others are and will get becca for you." The rest head inside Ethan's house and Luna takes a deep breath. "Ethan I..." Ethan looks at Luna and smiles "Yeah?" Luna stares at Ethan *This guy standing before me annoys me. Yet when I look at him I smile and his eyes are mysterious,but hold sadness.He smells wonderful and makes me laugh,he's smart. Is this feeling love?* Ethan waves his hand in front of Luna "Hey are you ok?" Luna looks at Ethan "Oh yeah I wanted to say that I lo..." Luna's phone rings "Luna this is Dr.King reminding of our appointment today at 5:30." "Yes of course I remember I'll see you 24 minutes." Luna hangs up the phone and Ethan looks at her *Before the phone call was she going to say she loved me?* Luna smiles "I have to go to a therapy session." Ethan looks at Luna "I can come with you!" Luna is shocked "Well Ethan therapy sessions are private." Ethan smiles "Yeah I know I could wait for you because last time you almost got hurt and I want to make sure you're safe." Luna blushes "Oh ok you can come I guess.."

Jake watches Luna and Ethan and frowns "What happened to us Luna?" Apollo looks at Jake "You told her you didn't love her that's what happened." Jake looks at Apollo "I do love her I just...I'm not good for her I'll end up hurting her." Apollo sighs "Then stop staring at her when she's with Ethan and don't do anything stupid." Jake looks at Apollo "I can't make any promises." Luna walks into the therapist office "Luna hi how are you...Oh who is this?" The lady whispers "Your boyfriend?" Luna's face turns red "No uh.." Ethan smiles and shakes the lady's hand "Hi i'm Ethan Rogers a friend of Luna's." The lady smiles "Dr.King will be out shortly." Luna and Ethan sit down and Ethan looks at Luna "How long is your session?" Luna looks at Ethan "One hour...sorry you don't have to wait for me." Ethan holds Luna's hand "I want too." Dr.King steps outside "Luna ready for your session?..." DR.King smiles "Oh is this Ethan? The boy we talked about in our last session? Did you find out if he can sing?" Luna gets up "Oh I should get going to my session! Let's go Dr.King!" Ethan is speechless "Uh ok bye." The door closes and Ethan smiles. Luna sits down "What the hell Dr.King ?" Dr.King sits down "Luna you love that boy. For you to move on from Augustus death,for the nightmares to stop you need the same sunlight Augustus shone on you from a significant other." Luna looks at Dr.KIng "It's not that easy...My Zodiac sign is a virgo." Dr.King nods her head "Say no more fam." Luna sighs "I'm scared of being rejected. I confessed to Jake on the roof of my school. And he told me he couldn't return my feelings. When I heard that my heart felt like it was torn out of my body. I thought maybe our friendship was going to be ruined after my confession,but Jake acted normally like nothing happened." Dr.King nods her head "Did you really actually love Jake?" Luna puts her hand on her head and sighs "To be honest I don't think that was love..." Dr.King looks up "what do you mean?" Luna looks at her "I'm just selfish. Jake has a girlfriend and he's my best friend and I for a moment wanted to break them apart. Like I wanted Jake all to myself. I was tired of him canceling our plans but he had a girlfriend so I couldn't do or say anything. When I'm with him I'm happy but it's not the same when I'm with Ethan..." Luna whines "Why does love have to be so complicated!" Dr.King laughs "Girl this ain't shit talk to me when you 27 with a cat at home." Luna smirked "Sounds like you've experienced that." Dr.King becomes frantic "we're here to talk about you not me!" Ethan checks his phone "6:26 only four minutes left." A girl walks in around Ethan's age "is this seat taken?" Ethan smiles "no you can sit." The girl smiles "are you going in or.." Ethan waves his hands "no I'm waiting for someone." The girl frowns "your girl friend?" Ethan looks up shocked *I wish..* "No just a friend..." Ethan checks his phone *only one more minute and if this girl keeps flirting with me Luna will get upset.* The door to Dr.Kings office opens and Luna walks out "See you tomorrow Dr.King!" Luna smiles "Ethan let's go." Ethan gets up and the girl sitting next to him glares at Luna. Luna sighs *another girl fell in love with his and charm and now despises me..* "Do you need something?" Ethan looks at the girl and she smiles "no no I'm just going to go into Dr.king's room." The girl leaves and Ethan looks at Luna "Sorry." Luna stares at Ethan "It's ok it's not your fault EVERY time a girl looks at you she falls in love and then I get dirty looks at even though i'm not your girlfriend." Ethan looks down *I knew she was going to get upset!* Luna and Ethan walk outside and get into Ethan's limo. Luna sighs "I'm so tired." Ethan smiles "I can drop you off at your house and wait while Reggie gets Apollo and Artemis." Luna face turns red "staying home by myself with you?" Ethan looks at Luna "Yeah what's wrong with that?" Luna looks at Ethan shocked "Idiot."and flicks Ethan on the forehead.Ethan smiles and Luna looks at him confused "Why are you smiling after I just flicked you on the forehead?" Ethan looks at Luna "because you've only done that to Jake." Luna looks at Ethan "so you want me to hit you?" Ethan nods his head "Yeah because that means you trust me." Luna laughs "I've never met someone who wanted me to hit them." Ethan slouches in seat "Yeah but if you hit me to much then I'll retaliate." Luna raises a brow "How?" Ethan looks forward "By kissing you." Luna's face becomes red and in a sarcastic tone says "What are we a couple?" Ethan looks at her "we could be." Luna looks at Ethan "Ethan rogers are you asking me to be your girlfriend?" Ethan smiles "Maybe." Luna laughs and Ethan looks at her "is that a yes?" Luna slaps Ethan on the back "Stop joking around we're just friends." Ethan becomes sad than forces a smile "Yeah...friends."
