Lou's POV:
Maya walked in the room slowly with a key in her hand. I watched her approach the glass door and put the key in the hole, she turned it three times before it opened.
"Is this better Luna?" She asked cautiously like I was a fragile creature she doesn't want to scare.
"Yes thank you Maya, would you mind leaving me alone for a second? I'm a little tired and I need to rest." I told her calmly to not make it sound suspicious.
"Alright I'll be downstairs if you need anything." She said giving me a genuine smile while I tried smiling back.
"I'm back, is she still here or did she escape?" I heard Ryan say from downstairs. Oh good griefs! Is he already here? Maya went out and told him that I was upstairs wanting to rest a little bit.
"Thanks guys, you can leave now. I'm going to check up on her." I heard him respond before he closed the front door indicating that they already left. Now was my cue to leave...
I went to the balcony and tried climbing on the edge of it.
"I brought lunch if you didn't ea..." I turned back to look at an astonished Ryan who watched what I was doing.
"Don't you fucking move!" He said while pacing towards me, but I jumped and straddled the branch ready to climb down and escape at any second now.
"You can kiss my ass sucker!" I blurted out knowing exactly what the consequences were going to be if he catches me.
"I fucking wish!" He said still approaching me but I moved back until I reached the trunk of the tree.
"EWW! You sick pervert! Why don't you kiss Rebecca's ass while you're at it." And here it is. I had to blurt out that secret! And the worst part is, I said it straight to his face. I swear I saw his veins pop out on his arms and neck. Oh God, he's mad now.
"Rebecc...WHO THE FUCK TOLD YOU ABOUT HER?" He yelled while I just slid down the trunk landing on the roof of a car. That car was not here before! It was a black BMW who could contain six persons inside of it. Also it would be useful for a kidnapping too.
"OW! Where the hell did that car come from?" I said my thoughts aloud as I jumped off of it and started running in the woods, again...I saw Simon, Theo and Maya not far from me and started screaming.
"Simon you better run for your life. I'm so sorry I mentioned Rebecca in front of him!" I shouted at him so he would save himself.
"Wha- OH SHIT!" He said as he started running when he saw what was behind me. Theo and Maya turned around and watched as Ryan was running in my direction.
"This is why you can't trust girls." Theo said like it was a fact, which earned him a slap on the head from Maya.
"Fucking catch her!" Ryan ordered as I passed them.
Usually in my sports classes I'm always somewhere else hiding and not on the field. If I was running, I was complaining all the way and would end up panting hard while the coach was yelling at me for not making it on time. I was a bad runner that's why I tried convincing my father to write a note, but he always made fun of me and ignored my pleadings. My life is so hard, and I'm literally cursing because of the fact that I hadn't progressed in running and needed it badly right now.
Then, I saw Simon right in front of me, so I screamed for him to slow down, deciding it was a good time for apologies.
"I'm so sorry Simon please forgive me, I got mad at him and exploded in his face. I even told him to kiss my ass!" I chuckled but I was actually panting, making him laugh.
"You don't need to apologize Lou, I forgive you. Besides it's not a good moment for apologies, I'm kinda busy saving my balls right now so if you'll excuse me. I'll catch up with you later." He said while he gave me a smile before running faster until he disappeared in the woods.
"Noo...Wait...Take me with you." I panted trying to catch my breath. I hate running! I turned my head a little to see Ryan approaching me by every second. I had to run faster. Ugh no not again...
I turned around and kept on running but I didn't notice the branch that was in front of me.
I ran through the branch, it slapped my forehead, making me scream and fall on my back with a huge mark on my face.
"Ah! Shit." I hissed in pain when I landed on my butt.
The situation I was currently in made me remember a memory I completely forgot about.
3 years ago, before my mom died, I walked in my sleep for the first time. It never happened to me again though, it was just once. I was in a deep slumber and wasn't even conscious of my actions, I began walking around the house, still asleep.
I remember, I laid on the floor right under the living room table, my back to the ground and my legs up on the couch. It was a short table and till this day, I still don't remember how I managed to place myself under it. I continued sleeping until it was morning. Unfortunately, Raymond woke up slightly before me. No one else was awake, my parents were in their room sleeping and Ray went to the kitchen to make himself some breakfast. As he walked past the living room, he saw me sleeping peacefully under it and an idea popped in his mind. At least that's what I've been told.
He ran back to his room searching for his air horn, as soon as he found it he strode down and entered the living room slowly while filming a video on his phone.
"POOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG" Was all I heard before I jolted up, resulting for my forehead to hit the table hard. I fell back on the floor, my hands roaming over my head, I was seeing stars while Ray was laughing his ass off . As soon as my parents heard the horrific sound, they rushed to the living room to see me unconscious under the table and a laughing Ray...
I stood up suddenly and wanted to run again but two hands were wrapped around my small waist, lifting me up and throwing me over someone's shoulder. From that sexy butt right in my line of sight I concluded it was Ryan. When I looked at the ground I saw some blood dripping from above, I reached my hand to my forehead and when I pulled it back to see it, it was covered in blood. Holy crap! It's not a good time to be acting like a princess.
"Ryan, I'm bleeding." I said quietly, feeling a little lightheaded, but he still managed to hear me.
"That's too much information. I don't want to know anything about your period right now. If you think you're not gonna get punished you're damn wrong Lorraine." He sighed in annoyance.
"No...blood...dripping...on the floor." I said weakly, my vision getting blurry.
"What do you mean?" he asked as he put me down on the ground, but I lost my balance and was about to land on my butt when two strong arms held me tight, not letting go.
I sensed something wet slide down my face, I looked up at Ryan to see he had a horrified expression.
"Why is there two of you, Ryan? One is already enough..." I asked him while closing my eyes feeling dizzy at the moment. Even in my most dangerous situations, I had to throw some shade.
"Call the doctor, now!" He shouted at whoever was beside him.
"I'm falling." I whispered panicking.I was actually sensing that I was falling, even when he was holding me close to his chest I had this sensation of falling, falling where? I don't know, but falling and never landing.
"I got you baby..." Was all I could hear before everything turned black.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I woke up with a huge headache. I found myself in a hospital bed this time. Maybe I was back in my town. I sat up straight and found something heavy on my legs, I looked down and saw Ryan, his head was on my lap while his arms were wrapped around my hips loosely. 'He never left me.' I thought to myself as a small smile made its way to my lips.
I slowly pulled my arm up and started stroking his hair gently. His amazing, smooth, soft wavy brown hair...My hand went down to stroke his cheek when he suddenly caught it with his big hands and kissed it. My heart fluttered at his action and now I was wandering how his lips would taste on mine. He opened his eyes slowly and looked at me straight in the eyes. We were both smiling and staring at each other while I blushed a little bit under his stare.
'Pull yourself together Lou! He's still a werewolf and had history with Rebecca and other girls too!' Suddenly I remembered what happened earlier and the smile was erased from my face as I freed my hand from his warm ones harshly.
"What's wrong? Are you alright? Are you in pain? Let me call the doctor." He said as he stood up, I knew he understood me as soon as I lifted my hands away from his, hurt flashed in his eyes but I stopped him.
"No, I'm alright. It's just...I remembered something. How long was I asleep?" I asked calmly. He sat back next to me where he was seated earlier and looked at me in the eyes with a smile on his face. The only difference in this situation between now and a few minutes ago is that he realized he might never have this moment again.
"You've been out for a couple of hours Lorraine." He answered as I stood up and noticed that the IV was connecting my arm to a sac of blood and another one to a serum sac. I hate this thing! I snatched the tubes from my arm while Ryan sat there in shock.
"What the fuck are you doing?" He asked as he stood up towering over me. I didn't answer him, didn't want to either.
"You're not allowed to get up until the doctor tells you to."
"You know what? I'm sick of getting orders. I'm sick of this life, I'm sick of getting hurt to make other people happy. And last but not least, you make me sick!" I spat at him pressing my finger in his chest. It's like I was blaming him to make me feel relieved, but I am as guilty as he is.
Hurt was an understatement, I'm sure I broke him but he broke me first. I couldn't face him anymore so I turned around immediately and locked the bathroom door behind me. I pressed my back on the wooden door and slid until I sat on the tiled floor and started crying, not knowing exactly for what.
"Lou? Are you okay? Why are you crying?" Ryan asked calmly from behind the door.
"Call the doctor and stay out, please." I sighed hopelessly. I needed a friend right now, I needed to tell someone what was happening in my life.
'Oh seriously? Am I not your friend now! Harsh.' Oh shut up you know what I mean. I need to talk to another person, not to myself.
I got up and did my business, then I washed my face, but something caught my attention. My forehead was covered with a white bandage. When I finished examining my state I decided to get out of the bathroom and I sat on the bed while burying my face in the palm of my hands.
A knock on the door was soon heard and the doctor came inside the room quietly, checking my file I suppose.
"Are you feeling alright?" He asked as he turned to look at me. He was a man in his mid fifties, he was pretty tall and had black hair, some of them turned grey. He had brown eyes and some wrinkles on his face. But despite his age, he really looked like a wise man.
"Uhm yes, I'm alright. Can I speak to you for a minute?"
"Of course Lun-uhm young lady." He corrected himself quickly while scratching the back of his neck trying not to look at me. Lun...LUNA!
"You're one of them?" I asked in disbelief, not knowing what I should do next. His eyes were wide with shock, and when he sensed I was disappointed he looked at the floor, kind of ashamed.
"Yes, yes I'm also a werewolf Luna. But believe me, we don't want to hurt you, as you can see, I'm treating you." He said approaching me slowly.
"Were you the one who treated my wounds two weeks ago?" I asked curious.
"I'm afraid so..."
"Please lay on the bed." He whispered as he took the already snatched IV and placed it back on my arm.
"What are you doing?" I asked already knowing that he was putting the IV back, it was obvious. But I meant, why was he doing that, since I'm already okay now.
"I'm putting back the IV, without it you'd be dehydrated. At least finish those two sacs, it would make your recovery fast and you could leave by the end of the day." He said slowly before turning around.
"If you need anything, literally, if you need a friend or someone to talk to, you can count on me. I will listen to you and give you my advice Luna." He said gently before turning to me, hope filling his eyes as he saw my lips start to move. He liked to talk, but how did he know?
"How did you kn-"
"Know? I am kind of good at reading face expressions and finding out the hidden emotions." He said with a smile.
"Alright, I'm Lou by the way."
"I'm Alzick, doctor Alzick." He said with a soft voice before sitting on the chair that Ryan was on previously.
"I believe you wanted to talk to me?" He asked kindly.
"Yes, yes. I'd like to talk to you, because I need to talk to someone right now and-"
"You figured out a doctor would be a good choice of a person." He continued my sentence.
"That's right." I said with a small laugh before starting to tell him everything I felt during those two weeks.
