Chapter 5 : Remember Me

Blake's P.O.V

It was a whole week since the 'Elevator' incident everything is going pretty well.. I could not want anything else than to finally see my girl friend.. She's coming home in a few weeks I'm so excited.. I need to get everything ready, when she arrives.. I just really miss her..But I have to wait. Well anyway it's 4:39 in the afternoon and I just finished a photo shoot but Heather didn't make it so she assigned Luna to accompany me.. I'm sitting near a window and it seemed like another storm is gonna pass though the city.. I look outside I can see the storm clouds in the distance.. I went down to the kitchen of the studio and turned on the T.V, Luna was making a pot of coffee I just got a soda out of the mini fridge.. The local news stated that there is a low pressure area building up, near the location of the studio "Heh, those types are always wrong" said my sassy boss pouring herself a cup of coffee.. I smirked and said "How are you so sure?" "Because they said that one day it was supposed to be clear skies, but it rained" "Well you can't blame them about making a small mistake" "That 'small mistake' is the reason why I feel miserable" I gave her a puzzled look "What do you mean by that" she suddenly looked at me with anger and annoyance, so I looked down on the tiled floor " I don't have time for this, send me the pictures by next week or after you finish editing them" she said as she set her cup down and proceeded to the exit but before she had the chance to get to the door it swung open it was her driver Daniel " Daniel what the hell?" she said as she looked at the man soaking wet and he was obviously really cold "I'm sorry ma'am but it's hailing outside so I parked the car under a police station parking lot good thing it was covered and then I ran back here" "Oh god, Daniel come here" I let him sit and I handed him a cup of coffee so he could warm up.. I called the owner of the studio Mr.Gregory, that if it is okay to stay for the night at his studio he immediately said yes cause Mr. Gregory is a good friend of my mother.. "Alright I ask Mr.Gregory if we could stay here, he said yes the extra bedrooms are in the 3rd floor" I picked up the keys from the top of the mini fridge "Here" I said giving the keys to Luna.. She immediately grabbed it and walked up the stairs.. We all had separate rooms Daniel took the one near the Luna's room cause Daniel is like a body guard but Luna treats him like a friend/employee.. Well it's 11:22 I can't sleep I look to the window it's still raining.. I got up from my the bed I though I just need a glass of water or something..Daniel and Luna must be asleep so I tried not to make a sound as I went down the steps.. I entered the kitchen and drank a glass of water, I refilled my cup just in case I wake up in the middle of the night again, but I notice a shadow of someone near the window it was "Luna? What are you doing it's late" she turned at the sound of my voice, I was shocked when she turned,the light of the moon made the liquid that flowed from her eyes more noticeable "Why are you crying? "I asked she then quickly wiped her tears away "Get out of here Blake!" she then quickly tried to push me away but I grabbed her hands " No, Luna! What is it? Why are you crying?" "That is non of your business" before she could push me away O asked her again "Why are you crying Luna" "It-s I- It's because of-Uaaaaggggghhhh why do you keep prying in my life Blake?" I stood in front  her "I'm not prying in your life, I'm trying to help you, Luna I know something is wrong, someone won't get up this late at night just to cry about nothing, I wanna help you even by just listening to you" I got closer to her "So please tell me" . She sat at near the window then she gestured me to sit next to her, but I still maintained my distance.. "It all started when I was very young, my mother was so controlling and my father I never really see him that much, and when I see him Mom and him would always fight and I never knew what it was they fought about, the only one who ever loved me in that house was Kristoffer my brother, but I lost him too.. My Mom and Dad had a divorce and my Dad took Kristoffer and my Mom took me.. A few years passed I was enrolled to an all girls school 'Winchester's School for Girls' I never made any friends there, and if I did they would just use me.. When I turned 18 my mother wanted me to marry an old man in his 40's,  I knew she wants me to marry him so I can get his wealth but I never wanted the money, all I ever wanted in my life is to be free from my mother and be with the Love of my life, Noah I loved him with all my heart but everything went wrong" I noticed she started tearing up again so I started rubbing her back, "Luna it's okay if you don't wanna tell me anymore I understand, you need your space, but if you want to talk to anyone about this I'll be here" "Blake for once in my life I really want you to know why" I raised an eye brow and said "Are you sure?" "Yes" she tried to say to me without any hesitation in her tone even though her tears were pouring from her eyes.."Who was Noah?" even through her tears she managed to smile sand say "Noah, Noah was my everything, the prince in my fairy tale, when I first met him he was working in my family's ranch he takes care of all the horses"

*flash back in Luna's P.O.V*

 I was walking along near the stables of the horses when I heard someone in the stables, I got curious cause our only care taker in the ranch was Wilson, and the voice didn't sound like him so I entered the stables and I saw a young man hauling hay for one of the horses, I got near him and asked "Who are you?" he then turned to me I can tell that he was a year older than me because he had stubs on his cheeks and he had hazel colored eyes, then he gave me a smile and answered "My name is Noah Bean, I was recently hired by one of my father's friends his name is Wilson" "Oh I didn't know Wilson hired you" he set the pitch fork down and drank a cup of water "Well I guess he needed help, and I'm really thankful that he choose me, my other job wan't paying me that well" "Oh? what was your first job anyway?" "I was a painter, but nobody really needs a painter these days" "Oh! How rude of me I haven't even introduce myself to you" he chuckled a bit at my little realization "Alright who are you Miss?" I blushed a bit and said "I'm Luna Rossi" "Rossi? Wait that means your the daughter of the owner of this ranch?" "Well yes I am" "Well I should get back to work then , Miss Rossi it was nice meeting you" I started walking away and I looked back at him and said "It was nice meeting you too Noah"..after that me and Noah been really close he would always pass by my window and shout my name just to ask me if I wanted anything if he comes back from the local market across town, even though I never said anything he would always give me a white rose every Sunday after his shift and we would spend the whole day together in the meadow near our property.. Me and Noah we're happy with each other even though my mother would never approve of him.. Because  he was poor but I never cared about his wealth I loved him because he loves me back.. He tried his best to give everything he can offer to me, I knew he loved me but, one day Noah and I decided to run away together.. But my Mother had other plans when Noah showed up at my door step he was standing and blood flowed from his lips I got scared and he said his final words "I love you Luna" then he fell to the ground with a knife in his back, my own mother stabbed him in the liver, that day I lost everything and I realized that monsters not only lurk in the dark and they sometimes look like people you thought you knew loved you.. I never spoke about Noah, not even when Wilson would sometimes mention him in conversations.. I don't want to remember what I use to feel when I was with him.. But I know I miss him, everyday  and I loved him with all my heart

*End of Flash back*

Luna's P.O.V

I felt my tears dripping down my cheeks, I closed my eyes and let them fall but I felt someone wipe them away,I look beside me Blake was holding a handkerchief  "Hey Luna it's alright it sounds you have more issues than I could ever imagine, but let me ask you this what do you feel? close your eyes and tell me" I closed my eyes I felt like my chest was lighter "I feel like I the weight of my heart has been lifted" I saw Blake smiling "See? That's what you feel when you open up to someone, Luna I'm not fake this is me I'm not a fake bitch that would earn your trust then trow it away like it was nothing, I'm a bit of an idiot but I would never try and hurt anyone even if they hurt me" she reached out a hand but I hugged her instead, I whispered in her ear "Thank you and I'm sorry" she pulled away and smiled "You're welcome Luna and there is no reason to say sorry I already forgiven you". After that we got some sleep the next day I felt like someone gave me a good morning kiss I felt that he was with me , Noah he never forgotten about me but I tried to forget about him so I decided to visit his grave.. After I said good bye to Blake, I took a flight to London I went back to our old house..Once I arrived I remember all the memories Noah and I made in this place, I went up the porch where I saw my mother she was sipping her tea when she noticed me"Luna what brings you here?" her tone was annoyed and un-amused by my presence"Mother I'm not here for you I have some unfinished business her now if you will excuse me" I went to the meadow I remembered Noah and me lying down on the grass and he would always make me smile and laugh, I miss him so much.. Once I saw his tomb stone I got down and set the dandelions I picked a long the way.. "Hello Noah, I'm sorry I haven't visited you that much, a lot has happened ever since that day, I wanted to say sorry because I never did anything to stop my mother and save you, I'm so sorry Noah" i felt my tears on my cheeks but i tried to smile " I'll never love anyone as much as I love you, even though you're gone you will always be the prince in my fairy tale, I love you Noah" after that I left this grave, on my way back I felt I wasn't alone like someone walked me back to the ranch, I felt safe and I felt the wind hugged me for a split second I felt like it was Noah.. He never forgotten about me, I smiled at the thought I looked back at the meadow, and I whispered to the wind "I'll be with you again, I promise"....
