Luna Winters

Not so secret admirer

The school day went by quickly as per usual. Today Jake and I went to first period laughing and ended last period doing the same. In between though, we were in most classes with each other. At lunch I sat with Jake and a couple of his friends, Cole and Marc. They are all pretty chill guys and I can tell we could become close friends one day. None of the teachers dared interrupt our weird talks. Which was nice to have once in a while. But the day wouldn't be complete without an encounter with the slut if the school. AKA, Becky. Cue mental eye roll and loud sigh. But other then that it was a fun day. I never thought I would say this but I can't wait to go back to school tomorrow.

At the end of the day, Jake and I drove to my house to hang out for a couple hours. With our new competitive nature with each other, we were at the apartment in no time. I unlocked the door and we practically fell inside laughing. He was someone I warmed up to. Someone I felt like I could trust so I would let my walls down whenever he was around. I don't know why though. While he made a snack I was going to change.

I entered my room and shut the door. Looking in my closet I picked out a black saggy shirt with red outlines and some black leggings before putting my hair up into a messy bun. I tossed my school clothes on my bed as I changed and once I finished put them in the hamper. I turned around briefly to see a white envelop with red lines decorating the white in a fancy way.
(This is the envelop)

"Curiouser and curiouser" I whispered to myself as I picked up the strange envelop. I was gentle with it because one, it looked pretty expensive. And two, because it was very fragile, almost as if it would rip into pieces at any second. I carefully tore the flap open to reveal a letter folded in half. When I opened it, the rim was covered in gold roses. A very beautiful design indeed. I was very anxious to know what was written so I began.
(This is the letter)

Fear. Panic. Terror. I just stood there blinking as all these emotions took over me. How did he find me so quickly? He was coming. And It was for me. I didn't want this. I wanted to be a normal teenage high school girl. So I did what any reasonable teenage girl would do. I screamed bloody murder. I started trashing my room and any loose object I could find.

Jake's feet echoed in the halls to my room as he ran. He slammed the door open and calmed down when he saw I wasn't in any danger. (At the moment). "Luna you can't just sc-" "STOP!" I yelled in response. "YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT JUST HAPPENED!" He looked at me, one eyebrow raised. I didn't want to seem weak again by crying, but it was the only thing I could think to do at the moment. I slid down the wall and onto the floor. He sat down right next to me and cradled me within his arms. It made things a little better, though I would never admit it.

I leaned into him and cried till I had no tears. I screamed and threw more things around but he never left my side. He would hold me tighter whenever I tried to move. It felt nice being cared for instead of having to fight for life. I ended falling asleep in his arms.

Jake's P.O.V.

Luna fell asleep in my arms while I cradled her. She was crying and screaming for two hours. I wonder what could have caused this kind of reaction. She was grasping onto a letter as if it was would cost her, her life. I decided to take a peek. I slipped it out of her hands. The envelop was very fancy. When I took it, the letter fell to the ground. I picked it up and folded it over. After I was done, I read it over and over again. Fear and pain was all I felt. No one deserves to go through this. If she doesn't turn herself in, people will get hurt. I didn't know what to do for that. But I did know what I was going to do tonight.

I slowly moved to the side and picked Luna up, bridal style into her bed. I laid her onto the mattress and put the blankets over her. She looked so peaceful in her sleep. I was going to fix this. Somehow.

Luna's P.O.V.

Sleep. It was the only way to really escape him. And all the pain I hold deep inside. It was when my dreams could take me into some far away land where everything would be the way I wanted. Dreams were so peaceful but so temporary. I often wish sleep would last longer. It is like a charger and your the battery. There is no interruptions except from the outside world.

Nightmares on the other hand. Are what we all wish to escape. There is always a good and a bad. In this case, being dreams and nightmares. They both have things in common though. They both take you away from reality. It's like one big bubble around you. Dreams are powerful. But so are nightmares. They can cause different reactions. Either a pleasant one, or a sweaty mess you wake up as after it ends. Once it ends you feel a flow of relief. But we all should know that no matter how different dreams and nightmares may seem, nightmares are dreams too. And I can't seem to wake up from this one.
