Luna Finley's P.O.V
I hadn't slept well that night. The guilt I felt kept me tossing and turning in the darkness of my room. Although I know what occurred last night wasn't my fault, I still felt responsible for what happened.
I don't even know how Stephen could have possibly gotten the drugs, he's only in seventh grade for crying out loud! There are a couple of drug dealers that are freshmen, so they could have possibly sold them to him at the party.
I decided to get up since I couldn't fall back asleep, so I pulled the warm covers off my body and went into my bathroom. My tangled, messy hair seemed to defy gravity in the directions it was sticking out. I was too lazy to brush it, so I put it into a bun.
After brushing my teeth, I walked over to Nova's room to check on her. I slowly opened her door and walked in. She started to stir in her sleep as I sat on her bed.
"Luna?" She groggily asked.
"Hey. How are you feeling?" I whispered.
"Sick." She said and quickly got out of bed and ran into the bathroom. I got up and went after her. When I got to the bathroom, she was kneeling over the toilet and- well you get the picture. I walked to the kitchen to get her some water.
"How is she feeling?" Astro asked as he walked into the kitchen.
"She's sick." I said and quickly grabbed a glass cup and filled it up with water.
"Do you need help?" He asked.
"Could you grab some movies that she likes? Oh and a bucket or something and a towel too."
"Yeah, of course." He replied.
"Thank you!" I called back and walked back to Nova.
"Here." I said softly and handed her water. She sat near the toilet still and looked exhausted.
"Thanks."
"Why don't you take a bath or a shower to clean up."
"Okay." She said and I left the room.
I went into Nova's room and changed her sheets and made her bed so she would be more comfortable. Astro walked in as well with a bunch of movies in hand.
"Do you think this is enough?" He asked and held up a hand full of DVD cases.
I nodded and finished making the bed.
"Do you think she remembers anything?" Astro asked.
"Probably not. Usually people don't remember a lot. What are we going to tell her if she doesn't remember? We can't let her be with Stephen anymore, that's for sure."
"We'll say that she fell and hit her head." He answered.
"Let's just tell her the truth, she deserves to know what happened."
"The truth?" Nova asked from behind us.
I quickly turned around and looked at Astro.
"What's going on?" She asked confused.
"Why don't you lay down." I told her and she did. "What do you remember from last night?"
"Last night? I went to a party I think with Stephen."
I nodded. "Well someone gave you something that was bad, really bad."
"What do you mean?" She asked
"They gave you something that makes you forget things."
"What?" She asked confused.
"Oh for fuck sakes! Stephen fucking drugged you, Nova!" Astro yelled.
