Luna's POV 10:10 p.m.

I'm so scared. What the hell happened to Kalvin? He was alright just a few hours ago. He was alive. Now he's dead.

This is fucked.

And now I'm sitting here, in the hotel lobby, with Finn and Audrey.

All clueless as of what to do next.

"Stop dicking around, you guys. We need to hurry up and find Micheal before it's too late." Audrey states.

I hate that she's right.

"What if it's already too late, huh?" Finn asks,

A silence emerged.

I read a brief look of discomfort on Audrey's face,

She's not so sure of herself anymore.

"What the fuck are you saying?" She answers, getting closer to him.

"I'm saying maybe we should be rational about this." He says back.

"And your idea of being rational is to leave your bestfriend when he needs you the most?" Audrey questioned skeptically, she seemed quite upset.

"Look, I just don't want to put you guys in danger as well. We can leave and get help to come back for Mickey." Finn retaliates,

Audrey steps back from him without ever averting her gaze, she wasn't having any of it.

"And when do you suppose this 'help' is going to come? When he actually IS dead, huh?" She licks her lips and furrows her eyebrows.

And then looks at him up and down expecting something, an explanation.

"I'm not putting myself or you or Luna at risk when he is an adult who can take care of himself. And that's that." Finn isn't backing down.

"Well Luney tunes, what do you think of this bullshit?" Audrey looks at me,

I feel like I'm being put on the spot because, well, I am.

I feel guilty for wanting to go with Finn, because I want to be on her side so fucking bad.

But something is telling me her idea is terribly dangerous.

And I don't want to lose her too, shit.

"Well...i-i....I-" is all that seems to be leaving my mouth at all.

"How in the fuck can you agree with that?" Audrey snapped,

I retaliated a bit,

"You know what? You guys can do whatever the fuck you want, but I'm going to find my boyfriend." Audrey tells us matter-of-factly.

"NO, WE ARE NOT SPLITTING UP!" I hear myself say out loud,

"You guys aren't, but I am." Audrey finished as she started to walk away,

She was heading down the first floor corridor, god knows where it leads to.

I felt uneasy about letting her go,

"We shouldn't let her wander away from us like that, she'll end up like-"

"I know." Finn interrupts me.

"But what can we do, huh Luney tunes?" Finn asks while ironically using the age old cheesy nickname Audrey first gave me when we were little girls.

I guess it stuck through all these years.

It embarrassed me in our teens, but I grew to not only tolerate it, but accept it as me.

It suddenly struck me like lightning hitting a chained fence.

If Finn valued his own life over his best friend's life, that's fine, but I certainly don't.

Audrey has so much more to give to this world than I do.

She's kind, smart, funny, and actually has a way with people unlike myself.

I can't let her walk into harm's way.

"I'm going with her, you know." I say flatly,

"Uh, w-what?" He stuttered.

"I have to." I say again,

I get up and walk down the corridor, I don't care if it takes me five minutes or five days to find them, I will.

I hear Finn closing up behind me,
