for you.

e i g h t

the mornings were always cold.

luna quickly grabbed a scarf and wrapped it around her neck, adjusting it in front of the mirror.

as she fiddled with the cloth, her sleeve dropped.

revealing the now faded bruise on her forearm.

last night she had slept in the studio.

it made her feel at peace.

surrounded by her art.

she hadn't talked to lucas since that day.

nor did he make an effort to talk to her.

she looked over at the brown notebook placed on her desk.

she really needed to return that.

she grabbed her backpack and the house keys and left.

work was tiring as always, she was hoping the black haired boy would return,

luna was left waiting, and waiting. for him to grace her with his presence, however he never did.

it's seemed that the book was so unimportant that the boy had simply just forgotten about it.

as she cleaned up at the end of her shift and walked back to the staff lockers her phone began to vibrate in her pocket.

dread filled her as she glanced at the name that flashed on the screen.

lucas

hesitantly she dragged her finger across the screen and brought it to her ear.

"...hello?"

"luna? are you off your shift"

she paused, her eyebrows furrowing

"yes. i am."

he sighs, the tension was radiating between the line.

"oh. good. it's just that i was wondering if you could-"

"no."

"but there's a really nice restaurant down the street-"

"no."

"luna i just want to talk-"

"no."

he sighs over the line. luna can almost imagine him rubbing his hand over his face and the corners of his eyes creasing as he squints them shut in dissatisfaction.

"luna please. i- i really need to talk to you about this."

his voice comes out so soft luna's anger melts slightly and with this vulnerability her gentle side gets the better of her.

"fine."
she pinches the bridge of her nose and shuts her eyes.

"but i will not stay there for longer than 30 minutes, you can say what you want in that time then i'm leaving."

lucas's voice fills with excitement and luna's mind flickers back to their high school days.

"really? you'll come?"

"yeah."
"send me the address."

"i'll be there in 20."
