Lumina Falls

8th day

Lumina's POV

Ivor's friends—I mean bandmates are amazing, and funny to hang out with.

"So what are you doing now Lumina? Are you working or Still in school?" Thor said one of  Ivor's bandmate. I looked up to him to meet his eyes, and looked away quickly. I can't answer it. I'm scared that maybe they'll laugh at me because of my reason. We were sitting on the balcony of Ivor's house and he made some cookies for his bandmates but they invited me to join them especially Lily. There was a bit of a silence after Thor asked me, but Ivor suddenly spoked in my behalf.

"Um. She stopped going to school and she's never gone out for almost 5 years." He said to them nervously. I kept my head bow down, I'm scared to see their reactions about me, I was hoping they would laugh at me or criticize me but no one ever dared.

"Oh. Okay." Brent said breaking the silence.

"Why?" Suddenly Jeremy asked out of nowhere, and that made me looked up to him, to see his reaction. He was curious. Ivor was going to spoke again to cover up and clean the situation but i interfer him.

"I'm sick." I whispered between my heavy breaths. And again no one dared to speak but Jeremy is a little annoying, and curious so he asked again.

"What kind of 'sick' ?" He asked. This time his voice sounds serious. And Ivor's eyes gaze at him, he's eyes are intimadating.

"Jeremy stop." Ivor said to him nicely but with a bit of caution.

"What? I was just asking." He answered back.

"Uhm. You dont understand the situation dont you, jeremy?" Lily suddenly speak taking up Ivor's side.

"What about it?" He said acting like he can't understand what is happening right now.

"Can't you see she's awkward to talk about it?" Lily rose said to him with her voice sounding irritated. Jeremy was about to answer her back but Ivor suddenly shouted.

"Stop it both of you.!" He said with fire in his eyes. He's mad about it.

"Okay! Okay! I got it! I'm going to shut up now." Jeremy said and looked at him and suddenly gets up from his seat and walked out of the scene.

I heard Ivor's sighed of relief. The bandmates just looked at each other and kept their mouth shut but suddenly Lily talked to me.

"Are you okay now?" After she said that I felt Ivor's eyes looked at me and wait for me to answer back at Lily.

"Y-yes." I answered but with a bit of apology.

"It's not your fault." Ivor said suddenly meeting his eyes, and it was gentle now.

"Yeah. You know, Jeremy can be curious sometimes and annoying. I'm sorry for that." Lily said looking worried.

"It's okay. I'm sorry for coming here though, I made a mess." After saying that, I caught Brent and Thor's eyes looking at me.

"Oh no. Dont think about it like that. We are so happy to meet you though it didn't went well." Brent said taking a bite at his cookie.

"Yep. Dont worry about it. We can still make it through some time. Right Lu?" Thor said with an assuring smile.

"Yeah." I answered back and smiled at him nicely.

After what happened in the balcony, all of Ivor's bandmates went home, and they both bid goodbyes to me saying that it was great meeting me and hope for another time after that I went home to our house and Mama and Lian both invited me for dinner cause it was almost evening when I got home. While eating, Mama said that she was so happy to see me, interacting with some people. It makes her wanna cry but I know she wont. She's just happy for me. After eating dinner and taking up my medicine, I went up to my room to rest. Then suddenly a thought came up to my mind. I was just curious about Ivor he haven't spoked to me after what happened in the balcony. Was he mad about it? That because of me, he and jeremy almost fight? I mean not literally fight but argue? Was he mad at me? I hope for an answer to my questions. I know, I haven't really know him yet, but I felt something I shouldn't feel towards a person. He's really nice and sweet and caring, or maybe he's just always like that? He always protect me like what he promised to Mama, and I know it wasn't really necessarily for him to do it but there is a part of me hoping it was all true and not an act. I erased all those negative thoughts and keep in my mind that he's just friendly to me and I wasn't his type and I should not think about it that way but He's just too fcking good and he's too fcking out of my league.
