Luna's P.O.V.

What the hell?
Did he just introduce himself after he practically kidnapped me?
Is he crazy?
Probably.

But I saw something in his sparkling green eyes. Like desperation and frustration or anger and hatred and that somehow restrained me from leaving or running, like I should. Captivated by his emerald eyes, I couldn't really say anything so I just settled on keeping my mouth shut.

"Listen, I get that I probably scared the living shit out of you and there's really no excuse for my behavior. So if you want to leave, you can. No need to feel frightened.", the lad, Harry, clarified.
"I'm Luna, nice to meet you, I guess.", I said, without thinking. The tall male starred at me, emerald eyes wide with shock.

"You don't thing I'm crazy?", he asked, clearly baffled.
"Well a little. But you seem rather awkward, so I guess it's alright.", I shrugged, smiling softly at him.
"Okay well it's a pleasure meeting you, Luna. Beautiful name, by the way.", he complimented, making me blush and thank him quietly.

"So, Harry, what caused you to lash out like that?", I questioned curiously.
"Well my family, actually my grandparents and father, want me to marry some idiotic bitch and to take over my father's company. I want to be an author though, see the world and stuff, you know? I just want to live a free life and not be a stuck up, rich ass like them. I want people to like me and just be normal you know? I hate being rich.", we started walking slowly whilst talking, taking a little stroll through the dimly lit street.

It was completely odd, trusting a total stranger, but I got a feeling that I'd never see this beautiful man again so I was happy to listen and give advice.

"Well to me it seems like you're living the dream. Well the thing with the marriage sucks, I'll give you that. But I'd love to get a job that easy. I mean why wouldn't you want to take over a, probably huge, company and earning money by sitting in an office, doing nothing all day?", I voiced my thoughts.

"Because it's not about the money. I want to be creative. Live my dreams and explore. Learn from mistakes and do what I love. Not being forced to do something that just doesn't fit me you know?", he replied and I nodded. I understood what he meant.
Having a choice was something so rare these days that you had to value it if you even got a tiny chance at it.
And Harry had a chance.
It just wasn't approved by anyone.

"But enough about me, tell me more about you Luna.", he said, sounding interested.
"We barely know each other. I mean it's weird enough, that we're walking next to each other right now after you practically kidnapped me.", I joked, nudging him with my ellbow.

It was just now that I noticed how he didn't wear a jacket, out in the freezing winter air in nothing but a dress shirt and jeans.

"Oh c'mon! I basically just told you the story of my life! You owe me at least a little bit of information!", he begged, seemingly not feeling the icy temperature.
After a bit of thinking, I nodded hesitantly.

"Alright, well, I live with my three brothers and one younger sister. Darren is my older brother, Nash and David are twins and younger and then little Amelia, but I call her Lia. I'd like to be a photographer but we can't afford university at the moment so I work at the local bookshop with my best friend and...oh gosh! What time is it?", I asked hectically, suddenly remembering Niall's shift would end at five p.m.

"Uhm 5:30 why?", Harry asked, confused.
"Damn it! I need to get back! It was really nice meeting you! Bye Harry!", I waved quickly and left, rushig down the street, turning several corners until I arrived in front of Niall's car where he was already waiting.

"I'm so sorry! I totally forgot the time!", I excused myself as soon as I had opened the door.
"It's fine, really. I wasn't the one freezing my arse off out there.", he chuckled, quickly reassuring me.
