MY LUNA- Scrutinized [TANNERxLUNA]

It's Been A Long, Long Time

Just kidding!

|LUNA'S POV|

I was back in the forest but there were no bodies hanging this time instead there were banners of celebration. I was in a white dress, a wedding dress... the one from the corpse bride. Ironic. I walked through the forest reaching the reception. 'Was this my wedding?' Everyone I knew was there, they stood up and started clapping and cheering. Then a song started playing. Dance music.Tanner came up to me on the floor. We got ready to dance. 'Is this out wedding? I mean I'm the only one wearing white so..' we glided on the floor, the dress elegantly landing in a picture perfect pose each time. But as the dance was about to conclude, I heard a scream and I looked. A woman from my job was dead at her table. But no one reacted. Tanner kept me in the dance but slowly other people kept dying. The blood splashing onto my dress and Tanners suit.
I felt sick, and wanted to stop but he kept me there, then when the song ended everyone had died. And Tanner had backed away from me.

He looked disgusted, but why? Then I looked at my hand and noticed... I wasn't alive. Bones replaced some meat, while there was only a little bit of skin left. A real life Corpse Bride.

2 months later

I steadily woke up, I was in the hospital. The ivy stuck in my arm. No one was around me so I decided to call out. A doctor came in and told me I had been in a Coma. He asked me questions about my life, "Do you remember how you got here ms. Youngman?" I shook my head. I couldn't recall anything that happened that night. Only that I was next to my boyfriend. I can't recall what he looked like or his name but I remembered how much I loved him. "Where is he?" "Who miss?" "My boyfriend? He was with me that night." "I'm sorry miss but no one besides you father and mother came with you to the hospital. However 3 people were arrested. If you want I can show you the mug shots to see if you remember." "No, no I know I wouldn't be in love with a criminal. Thank you though." After that he had me sign some paper work and called my parents to come pick me up.

It would be unsafe for me to drive at night with apparent memory loss and having just got out of a coma. Once I walked out my parents were waiting there. My mom came up to hug me with my dad. I hugged them back and asked where my boyfriend was. They didn't answer and pretended not to hear me. I heard them whispering about not telling me something but I chose not to bud in. Whatever it was, was probably harmful anyway.

They dropped me off at my house and asked if I wanted them to stay. I told them I was fine and walked in to my house. It smelt just like the way I had left it. Pine. I dropped my sweater and purse in the coat hook and went to my room. I grabbed some clean clothes and turned on my playlist to take a shower.

|TANNER'S POV|

1 Month Into Luna's Coma,

Adam had pulled some strings for that I would be found innocent. But I didn't care if I was locked away. Why would I care if I couldn't talk to her everyday? Or see her? She's was in a coma after all. It was all my fault. I visited her everyday, for some reason I couldn't stay away. I wanted to be with her, and I wanted her to wake up. But it's good she's still fighting. Maybe if I wait a little longer I can one day see her wake up.

1 Month Later,

I went for my usual check up with Luna, I would talk to her even though she didn't hear me. I would tell her how my day was, and recall fond memories. The meetings weren't long since her parents would come and I would leave before they could see me. But today was different when I asked for Luna they told me she had left. I was ecstatic. They could see my joy, and had to ruin it by giving me bad news. "I'm sorry to inform you sir but.. she has lost fragments of memory." My happy moment turned into a horror.
I thanked her and walked out. I had to see her. I drove to her house to check if she was there. I ran through the backyard and opened the window. I heard a soft voice singing. It was the same one Cecilia was listening to.

Bust your kneecaps

But in normal speed, it was an unsettling song but beautiful at the same time. She sung beautifully.
I sat on her bed listening in. When the shower turned off the song stopped. The door knob slowly turned as she entered the room. She dropped her clothes in the hamper and looked up, that's when she saw me. Sitting there with the biggest smile. "L-Luna.." I chuckled, "Can I...have a a hug?" She looked scared. But why? She loved me, and I loved her. Nothing scary is going on. I opened my arms but she backed away. "Wh- why are you in my house?" I was confused, "because I just heard you got out of your coma, I wanted to check on you." " But why? Are you going to...kill me?.." I stood up "what? No, no i love you Luna. Why would you say that?" She backed up to the door, "because you're a murderer... YOU TRIED KILLING ME!" The memory loss was more severe than I thought. "When?" "At my parents house, you almost killed me! You better get out of here before my boyfriend comes." "But Luna..I'm your boyfriend..."

"BULLSHIT! I WOULD NEVER DATE SOMEONE LIKE YOU, NOW LEAVE!"

Those words pierced through me. She hated me...

I lifted up my shirt to show the cut. "I WAS THERE THAT NIGHT REMEMBER? I-i..." I collapsed to my knees. "I told you to look at the stars..." she looked confused. "No...that can't be... you can't be him.." I was crying at that point "you have to believe me.. p-please..." I was begging softly to Luna, and in an od way..god themselves. She fell to her knees and cried into her hands.

|LUNA'S POV|

It was so hard to accept that I was with a murderer. Surely he wasn't, but then how would the scar be on his stomach. I remembered that part and how would he know about the stars? All the little details added up. He was Tanner, and Tanner was him. I looked up and he was softly pleading with me to remember. I opened my arms, and he fell into my embrace. We were crying on each other's shoulders. Even his embrace felt familiar, natural even. Then I heard a soft spoken whisper come to my ear.

"Never thought that you would be standing here so close to me, there's so much I feel that I should say.."

I finished with him.

"But words can wait until some other day.."

We laughed as we finally felt at home in each other's arms, we had found love, comfort, and care in each other.

Sarah would be proud.
