Edwins POV

It's been two week since Luna has been back. She hasn't been doing good, her panic attacks and anxiety attacks have worsen. She's been having nightmares every night. The guys and I have been taking turns to stay with her. Making sure we are there when she has the nightmares. She's gone back to therapy. Her therapist had told me and Luna that this was common for people who experienced a trauma. Then proceeded to diagnose Luna with PTSD. Her mom flew in when Luna experienced her second nightmare. Sarah stayed with Luna for the first week. Before her mom left, I promised Sarah that I would be here for Luna. Zion came by once and that was so he could talk to Luna. He wanted to be with Luna but had to be there for his unborn baby. Luna understood that Zion wasn't raised to abandon his child. We all knew that. So Luna made the ultimate decision, she told Zion to be there for his baby. To raise the baby as best as he could and that he shouldn't come over anymore. Luna told him that it best that they cut all ties with each other, that this was for the best. She never told him about anything she was dealing with. The way Zion looked at it, Luna didn't want nothing to with him and that she was being selfish. But what he didn't know was this was hurting Luna way more that it was for him. Zion didn't have to wake up screaming in the middle of nights, he didn't have to experience the pain she dealt with after every attack, or wonder why he lived and those other people didn't. Zion wasn't taking pills after pills to get better. He didn't have to deal with the side effects of those pills. But she did and she did it holding her head high. Luna made us all promise not to say one word to Zion about her condition. She didn't want him to worry about her when he had to worry about his baby. Even after everything Zion has put Luna through, she still loved him and wanted him to be happy. Even if that meant she had to be one in pain. The guys and I, expect Zion, we're sitting in our living room. Watching a movie and waited for Kyra to text us. She had taken Luna for a lunch date. We were waiting for her to drop Luna off. Kyra has been a huge help to us. Whenever we needed to get in some studio time, Kyra made sure to be with Luna. Even if Kyra had her own demons to battle, she still helped Luna. Kyra has broken up with her boyfriend Brennen. From what she told Luna, he was a childish asshole who was considerate. "I gotta pack some clothes for tonight. We all staying the night?" I asked the boys. "Yea" Brandon answered. I nodded my head and headed to my room. I walked over to my closet and grabbed some clothes for tomorrow. I placed the clothes on my bed and grabbed my bag. "Yo Edwin" I heard from behind me. Taking me out of my thoughts. "Yea what's up?" I replied. Knowing that it was Zion. "Where ya heading too?" He asked sitting in my gaming chair. I zipped up my bag before responding. "Gonna head over to Luna's house later. I have to take her to her appointment tomorrow" I answered without thinking. I didn't realize what I said until after I said it. "What? What appointment?" He asked standing up. "Shit" I muttered. I had to come up quick with an excuse. "Not her appointment, it's for Ollie. He's gotta get some shots or whatever" I replied. He nodded his head and sat back down. "How is she?" He asked, I looked over at him. Trying to figure out if he should know the truth or not. I promised Luna I wouldn't, I gotta keep that promise. I let out breath, "she's hanging in there." I replied. "Oh okay" he said. I nodded my head and grabbed my bag. "How are things with the baby and Mya?" I asked. He rolled his eyes and sat back in the chair. "I'm excited but nervous as hell. You know I always thought it would be Luna." He said, I was confused. "What do you mean?" I asked. He sighed, "I always thought I'd have my first kid with Luna." He replied. I didn't know what to say. "I love her, I mean who wouldn't. Its Luna, always has been. I never wanted to hurt her but I feel like it's all that I do." He replied. I sat on my bed and waited for him to continue. "I regret cheating on her Edwin. I should've treated her so much better. I don't know what I was thinking. All she has ever done is want me to be happy. But how can I be happy when she's not with me? For all I know she could be a lot happier without me. She's the only one who helped me through everything. I mean she's the reason why I stopped going to parties, drinking, taking shit that ruined my health, she helped me become a better man. And I feel like I have lost her forever." He finished. I got up and walked over to him. I gave him a brotherly hug. "She May seem happy but Z, she's hurting in ways you don't even know. She's doing her best to be happy. You know, she only wants what's best for you. Always has, why do you think she told you to focus on your baby? She didn't want to take any attention away from the baby. She knew if it came down to it, Mya would have made you chose between her or your baby. So she did what she thought was best. She left you so you could be a good father to your unborn baby. If y'all are meant to be, then life will bring you two back together." I said to him. He nodded his head and wiped his face. "Man, she really got me crying like a bitch" he said trying to lighten up the mood. I laughed along with him. Man if only they knew how much this hurting each other.
