This Might Hurt

Chapter Six: Currents

Hey little beans, long time no see.

If you're still reading, whoa, hello babe. I'm really struggling on who Luna should be played by. I want like a mix between Shay Mitchell and Phoebe Tonkin ugh.

Luna's POV

"You're a complete idiot," I laughed as I looked over at Scott who was (attempting to) balance a chop stick on the bridge of his nose.

"What? I'm such a pro," he said as he attempted to walk in a way that made the stick rest on his face. Scott and I had went to The Golden Dragon to grab food for Melissa since she was stuck at the hospital working a double.

"C'mon, Lupus. It's not like you have another ride." He teased, breaking me out of my thoughts as he revved up the engine to his bike. I rolled my eyes as I sat behind him.

"Remember, hold on tight." Scott said as he looked at me with a wink.
"Are you sure the food won't fall?" I questioned, rolling my eyes as I wrapped my arms tightly around his waist.

"Yup," he responded, moving the bag closer to him, "even put my chop stick in there for later."

"You did not," I laughed, "oh my gosh, I swear I don't understand you sometimes."

"Well, gotta keep some secrets or else this would be boring, right?" Scott said as he drove off toward the hospital.

We arrived at the hospital shortly after to find people buzzing around more often than usual. People covered in blood rested on gurneys that were being sped down the halls to rooms. Melissa had walked over to us, her face etched in worry.

"There's been a 10 car pileup," She explained, "it's awful, there's so many people hurt and no one can locate the ER Physician." She let out a sigh and looked at the bag in Scott's hand.

"You brought me dinner? Thank you, I probably won't be home until really late."

"Excuse me, Ms., could I have some pain medication? Please? Me and my son.." Melissa looked over at the middle aged woman with blood crusted on her cheek and pain written across her expression and sighed sadly.

"I'm sorry but giving you or your son medication right now without examination might make it worse." As Melissa finished her words, her pager beeped.

"Excuse me." She then rushed over to where she was needed at the desk.

"You know, I've read online that sometimes human touch can help with pain." Scott told the woman gently as he sat next to her. The woman's eyes were squeezed shut, and she held out her hand to him. "I'll try anything," she chuckled.

And as soon as her hand touched Scott's, I could see the pain slowly leave her body and into Scott's. Her face eased, and she let out a relieved sigh.

"Hey, little buddy, want to try it?" I asked the young boy who sat next to her, he had bruises covering his arms and a few cuts on his face. The boy bit his lip before nodding. I reached out my hand to his arm, and his bruises slowly faded to more of his skin tone, and his cuts became less severe. I didn't want to heal him completely, though, as I didn't want to raise suspicion.

"Did it help?" I asked him, holding his hand. His face broke out into a big smile.

"It did! I feel so much better now, thank you lady!" He exclaimed, quickly hugging me. I was shocked at first because I wasn't expecting it, but I hugged him back gently.

"HELP SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!" a scream erupted from the entrance, causing me to let go of the boy and look over to the voice. It was Ethan and Danny. But Danny didn't look so well.
