Soy Sol (A Soy Luna Fanfic)

Chapter 6: Surprise, Surprise!

            Luna drops her new skates onto the floor surprising Simón and Ámbar. They were worried something happened to Luna. They dashed to the lockers and see Luna concerned staring at Nina. Luna turns her head to face Simón. "Is it true? Is the Jam and Roller up for sale and may get shut down?" Luna questioned Simón. Simón takes a big gulp of air while anxiously thinking of an excuse. "No of course not Luna. Why would you think of such a thing" Ámbar says immediately, saving Simón. "I heard exactly what you guys said when I entered. I know it's true," Nina stated. "Yes Nina. You're right, the Jam and Roller was for sale back when Vidia owned it but now it's owned by some other worker of Vidia and it's this whole complicated process of company shares and such. You guys wouldn't understand. Nothing to worry about. You both know we wouldn't ever lie to you guys," Ámbar replied.

            Luna and Nina both glared at each other. Nina was still in disbelief while Luna, believing her friends, said, "sorry for the misunderstanding. It's just lately it seems like you both have been hiding something, so we were worried." Hearing those words come out of Luna's mouth made Simón very depressed knowing he was lying to Luna. He hates lying to her which is why he's never done it, but he doesn't want to break her heart especially after how lonely she had been feeling with Matteo gone and the whole situation that came about from it. Luna grabbed her skates, placed them in her locker, said goodbye to Simón and Ámbar and headed out the door with Nina.

           Ámbar let out a sigh of relief than saw Simón's frown while he stared at the ground. "Look I know it's hard lying to Luna, but this is very serious. Who knows what will happen? The only thing we can do is hope for the best. Telling the others will only stress them out even more." Simón knew Ámbar was right but hated the thought of lying. "You're right... but they deserve to know. Before I thought this was the best decision for the rest but now, I don't think so. I regret lying and making you lie with me. It was my idea, and it was a stupid one. We should've told them." Ámbar felt bad for Simón. She didn't like seeing him upset and always tried to comfort him or cheer him up when it happened. "No mi amor. It's not your fault. We were just trying to help, that's all. Yeah, it may be a good idea to tell them, but we've kept this lie for far too long that I feel like it's too late now. Plus, we don't know what's going to happen so who knows maybe someone will buy this place and keep it the way it is." Ámbar hugs Simón afterward, which puts a slight smile on his face. He loves her hugs and knowing how much of an incredible person she is. Seeing her the way she is every day and how she has truly changed to become a better person has always made Simon so proud and he feels like he's falling in love with her every time.

The Next Day

            Gastón frantically paces back and forth in his kitchen knowing Nina had left about a minute ago to meet up with Eric. He hesitantly calls his friend Matteo for help. "Good morning hermano, how's your morning been?" Matteo asks. "Bad. Very bad. Nina just left to meet with Eric. I still can't believe I said yes to this. Plus, how can that guy still keep in contact with her AND want to meet up with her. It's obvious he still likes her. I don't know what to do but I feel like I should do something," Gastón exclaims. "Wow slow down there. You're talking very fast. Look I know you're stressed but Nina would never go back together with that guy even if he still has a crush on her. Remember, she only dated him to forget her feelings about you, he was her rebound. She's always loved you and only you." "I get that but like I said I don't trust that guy. He shouldn't be talking to my girlfriend, his ex. I just want to be there to protect her, and at least know what's going on," Gastón explained. "Well than your only choice is to follow them. Spy on them and see what they're up to. If you hide in an area where no one notices you, you will be fine, trust me I know from experience." Gastón stayed quiet thinking about Matteo's idea. He didn't want to seem super jealous and make Nina feel like he doesn't trust her, but he also feels like it's his job to protect her. She is the love of his life and doesn't want to lose her again.
