{FOHC} Chapter 3: Glimpse of Us

Luna began to clutch her heart and hyperventilate as soon as she entered the restroom. Luna was never one to show her emotions; she was a strong person, but the breakup with Lucas has become a burden on her back. "Why am I in pain right now?" Luna questioned herself.

Maybe it was the empty bed on her side, or the absence of good morning and goodnight texts that always managed to make her heart skip a beat. Maybe because she knows those things will never happen again, or maybe because this was her one and only chance at a relationship and she fucked it up.


She tried to cover her mouth to block out the sounds her mouth was making as a result of her intense crying - she just needed to let it all out and stop feeling like she's worthless.
All this time she'd seen Lucas in her, his eyes that she could seem to stare in all day and ask for more, she wanted everything to do with him, but he's no longer hers, so what's the point? "Because sometimes I look into her eyes and that's where I find a glimpse of us." Luna said as she remembered the way his eyes captivated her, she wanted him back, but has no right to do so, she'd never destroy a relationship she wasn't in, it didn't feel right to her.

The only true reason why Luna hates Aki is because of her eyes. She reminded Luna so much of Lucas, it was painful to look at her. Truth is, even when Lucas and Luna were dating, she had some sort of clue that she was being played, but just brushed it off. She realizes that she should've listened to her gut.

Oh, how she hates herself for not trusting herself.

Aki and Lucas had been childhood friends, and Luna had been friends with Lucas. She only saw Aki once with Lucas, and that one time was enough to start her intense hatred for her, it was just putting fuel to a fire that took a lot of work to extinguish, but now that they've broken up, she's unsure if she still hates her, maybe she hates the thought that they were possibly dating.

Luna knew she had no chance, but she was too blinded by love to say no, so she agreed to his confession.

'Do I deserve this?' Where have I gone wrong? I hate this, I hate you, Lucas, I hate everyone! I hate waking up to an empty bed, I hate it when you stop sitting next to me in class or stop sending me notes that make my heart skip a beat, where did it all go? I want you back, - no, I need you back. I can't do it; my heart aches every time I think of or see Aki; I despise the fact that Aki and Lucas were so close; what if he cheated on me with her? This only makes me hate her more, as if I want her gone forever.'

"Why am I dizzy all of a sudden? I'm not sure what's going on.. Someone, please help me." Luna said as she went to open the door but immediately fell into someone's arms, she was blacked out by the time the person holding her realized what was happening.

"Good thing I caught you in time, even though I hate you and the way you make me feel, I will be a good person." Aki said as she got Luna's luggages ready to move them to their newly shared house.
