I let the door open and after a few seconds, he steps in. I feel his body right behind me, caressing my thighs all the way up to my chest. There's something different about his touch. His hands are turn small and soft. I grab hold of his hands in mine and turn to look at him. Luna?

The hot water is become ice cold and I find myself shivering under it. I need to get out of here, I say to myself. Fuck, I didn't get any clothes in with me. I wrap myself with the towel and scurry out of the shower.

"What's wrong?" Zac asks me with a worried look on his face.

"Umm, nothing. I'm cold." I stammer with my heart pounding. These hallucinations have started to haunt me again and it's turning worse now.

"Come here." He pulls me closer, wraps his arms around me and gives me a tight hug making me feel warm.

"I'm wet."

"So?"

"You'll turn wet."

"I'm already wet." He smirks.

"Whatever. Now let me change."

"So change. I didn't stop you." He says in a sarcastic tone.

"Not in front of you."

"Why not?" He raises his brow.

"I don't know. I'm shy."

"You don't have to be shy next to me."

"Get out Zac!" I say, pushing him out of my room and shutting the door behind. I hear him let out giggles.

"Hurry or else the visiting time will get over." Zac yells as I do my hair up.

"Shit. It's past 5 and the visiting time ends at 6. Come on!" I say picking my the keys and scurrying out of the house.

When we reach it's 5:35 and we're so late. I'm hardly gonna get time to see baby Bethany.

"Very early you'll are come." Jenna says as we enter in.

"Too much traffic. It's jam packed."

"Oh."

After about 30 minutes, there a knock on the door.

"Shit. They're come to chase you'll out."

"No I don't wanna leave."

"Let's hide-"

There's a third knock on the door and Jenna, Zac and me hide in the bathroom.

"Visiting time is over."

As soon as the guy leaves and the door is locked we come out and we all burst into a laughter.

"We gotta leave anyways."

"Can I stay the night?" I ask.

"Lexi and me can both stay the night with you, if you say so." Jenna tells Halsey.

"Yeah sure. I don't mind. Mum and Louis can have a proper sleep tonight then."

"Yay! But our night suits?"

"Louis or Zac can pick it up from the house and drop it here." Aunt suggests.

"I have to get some stuff from the house anyways so I can get it." Louis says.

"I'll go home with them, get my pajamas and an outfit for work tomorrow morning and come back to the hospital with Louis." Jenna tells Halsey.

"Okay."

After few minutes, Aunt Steph, Louis and Zac leave. I pick up the phone to inform my mom that I'm staying the night in the hospital, hoping she would agree. In the notification bar, I see a text from Hardin. Hardin and me have started having random conversations since November, it's mostly about the Riverdale drama. His text says,
*"I was waiting for the right time, but you just gave up on me so easily."*
What the fuck? Why would he text me this? This is definitely a song prank.  I'm hundred percent sure. I type out the lyrics and there the song appears. I knew it. I type back the lyrics of the song.
*"Shit, you got it."*

*"I'm not dumb. I knew you wouldn't text me that for sure."*

*"You never know."* What does he mean by this. He could have really meant it? Whatever it's too late now.

*"Okay. I just don't want any awkwardness between us after everything that happened. I'm over you and I just take you as a friend now."

*"Yeah I know. No worries."*

*"Watched Riverdale's new episode?"* I ask him.

*"Yes, did you?"*

*"Not as yet."*

*"This episode is so good. You gotta watch it before I give you any spoiler."*

*"No spoilers, please."*

*phone dies*

Fuck. There's no charger here.

"Do you have a charger here?" I ask Halsey.

"Yeah but only one. I'll just call up Jenna and tell her to get the power bank."

"Okay, thanks."

What am I supposed to do now? Baby's sleeping and Halsey's resting. I should rest too. After staring at Bethany the way she's curled up in the cozy warm blankets, I lay down on the couch and close my eyes.

*"How nice of you to throw shade on me. I TAUGHT YOU PAIN?  AH, WHAT A THING?"*

*"I didn't throw shade on you. It was just a caption and yes, you did teach me love and pain. Not only you, this caption was each one of you'll who taught me love, patience and pain."

*"I HAD 103 FEVER WHICH EXTENDED TO 104 ON SAT. I was nearly dying and honestly GOD GAVE ME THIS PAIN TO SHOW HOW MANY ACTUALLY CARED."*

*"I didn't know that, how are you feeling now?"*

*"Lexi, you don't need to prove stuff."*

*"But I didn't even know."*

*"I'm just so done with drama. You wanna leave?  THERE'S THE FUCKING DOOR. I honestly don't care but please stop hurting me like that. Please."*

*"How was I supposed to know you had 104 temperature? And you know what I'm tired too, of your drama. Just for a freaking caption, you're creating this whole drama. I'm so done with you being so dramatic."*

*"I AM DRAMATIC?"*

*"YES."*

*"LEAVE ME IF YOU'RE TIRED OF ME AND FINISH IT. I never forced you to be my friend."*

*"Neither did I force you. I just can't handle this anymore."*

*"There's a difference. You're tired of me. I'm not."*

*"I'm not tired of you. But of your drama"*

*"It the same thing."*

*"I'm tired of you fighting unnecessarily and hurting me every time and then saying that I'm hurting you."*

*"No Luna, No drama, No sadness, No pain."*

*"And neither do I want you back in my life. Bye."*

*"You did not ask me once if I'm okay or no."*

*"Because I don't care about you anymore."*

*"Bye forever? And if our friendship ends, you'll be the freaking reason. Not me."*

*"I hope you never see me again. Never in your life. Bye."* I love you.. For her to never see me again, I drink this phenyl.
