Luna set the vase of flowers on the little table. "How are you, Michael?" From his place on the bed, he called "I'm good." But Luna could tell, he winced as he said it. She went over to the bed and straightened a pillow behind him. Michael sighed "That's better." Luna kissed his forehead.
"Only the best for my best friend, which reminds me. . ." she took out her computer and pulled up a video she had made using pictures from all their years at camp. She pressed play and the song "Our Song" began to play. A picture of seven year old Michael fingerprinting on a six year old Luna's stomach as they both smiled toothless grins. The caption read:
Even if it's not in a romantic way, you are the love of my life
Luna watched as Michael stared at the computer screen, tears streaming down his face.
"I love you, Luna." she smiled and said
"I love you too."
'Cause our song is the slamming screen door,
Sneakin' out late, tapping on his window
When we're on the phone and he talks real slow
'Cause it's late and his mama don't know
Our song is the way he laughs
"Remember that time when you were staying over at Harry Potter's house and you hid in his cupboard and talked with me until really late at night?"
The pictures went on: Michael smirking, Luna laughing, both of them hugging. There was even a black and white picture of them staring at each other, Terry had taken that picture two years before
"I love that picture." He smiled, but even that hurt him.
Later, when Luna was leaving, her phone rang. Neville.
"Hi, Luna"
"Hey, Nev, what's up?"
"Nothing much, except you stood me up?"
"What?!"
"Check your phone, why don't you?!"
He hung up. How dare he? Luna went to her messages, 5 messages from Neville:
Hey Luna, Gran's gone to see some friends
Wanna come over?
Luna?
I've got marshmallows
She had been so busy with Michael, she hadn't even checked on Neville! Stupid Luna! She walked to Neville's house, she wanted to apologize, but as soon as she got there that idea went to waste.
"Neville, I'm so-"
He looked so angry, but beneath than anger. . . sadness?
"Sorry? For what? I'm only your boyfriend!" That did it.
"Well, I was busy!" her voice lost all it's usual softness, replaced with rage.
"With who? You never make time for me!" He looked like he'd been holding that in a long time, and that, more than anything, broke her heart.
"We've been dating for like-"
"Thats not the point!"
"I hate you" Luna mumbled. She was so angry, so hurt. His expression went from anger to surprise to just plain hurt. Immediately she regretted her words "Neville. . . I-" she reached for his arm, but he pulled away
"No! Luna, I love you so much" he closed his eyes and sighed "But you should go."
So she did.
