Forbidden Love

Chapter 28

"Did Luke do anything at the party?" April asked, making me tense at remembering Cole's words. "Should we start calling him Cole? It's becoming confusing." April said.

"He just threatened that he is going to do something soon. It's nothing." I said, making her eyes go wide. "How scary. How are you not bothered by any of it?" She asked as we walked through the school cafeteria.

"I am. I guess I'm just used to it all now." I confessed making Damon turn to me holding my hand." Are you sure it's such a good idea to help them? What if you get hurt in the process?" April asked. "I have to, April. I am the only one that can. Everyone is depending on me to get rid of Cole, figure out the truth about people's deaths. And oh, and somehow make hundreds of ghosts crossover." I breathed, grabbing my food not looking at her.

"What?" She breathed out making me look up at her to see her looking at me full of confusion. "Nothing." I sighed before we paid for our food. "Wait, then does that mean Luke knows we know he's Cole?" April asked, thankful she dropped the topic.

"Yes, but I don't know how. I guess it doesn't matter. I just have to figure out how to prevent whatever it is he is going to do." I answered as all three of us sat down. She just hummed in response before she started eating.

I looked over at Damon to see that he was in deep thought about something. His eyebrows and jaw were tense making me want to touch and comfort him. "You okay?" I asked him making him snap his head to me.

"Yes, sorry. Just thinking." He replied with a weak smile, making me frown. "About?" I asked again as he raked his fingers through his hair silently wishing it were me instead.

"I just don't want Cole to hurt you. I don't know what I would do if something happened to you because of him. Part of me wishes I never brought you into this mess, Luna." Damon answered sadly, making me frown.

"Damon, nothing will-" I started but April interrupted me making me realize I was talking out loud. Crap. "What? Is Damon here?" April asked quickly looking around. "Yeah..." I replied hesitantly making her contort her pale and attractive features.

"Where? How?" She asked, confused, as Damon chuckled beside me. "Uh, he is right here." I placed my palm on his shoulder causing the familiar tingle sensation from the tips of my fingers to my toes.

"I did a spell to make him invisible after everything that happened with Mr. Olsen." I continued as I removed my palm trying to shrug off the feelings Damon caused. April nodded as she tried to look at Damon. "Hey." Damon said making April jump her eyes went wide in realization.

"That is so weird." April breathed out as she waved her hand until she touched him. Damon laughed as she flinched, pulling her hand away. "Can you turn other things invisible?" April asked, making me shrug.

"I'm actually not sure. I haven't really tried any other spells." I confessed, making her tilt her head puzzled. "Really? How come? If I had powers, I would use them all the time." She smiled, making me chuckle.

"I-It's weird for me to just all of a sudden use my powers and spells after not using them my whole life. I'm scared for what might happen if I do." Luckily the bell rang before she could press me anymore.

"Why are you still scared to use your powers?" He asked, walking down the hall in silence before he broke it. "I'm just afraid of what will happen if I do. What if I won't be able to control them and I hurt someone or myself? I know I have been practicing my powers and my breathing, but I still can't shake off my worries." I replied not looking at him as we continued to walk to class.

"You have no reason to fear you or your powers, Luna. You are strong and kind. You won't hurt anyone." Damon insisted, making me frown. I was about to reply when a familiar face caught my attention in the crowd of students. I stopped dead in my tracks making Damon look down at me confused.
