33- closure

"I don't understand."

"You will when you're older, my love." She pushed loose hair behind my ear. "Echora! When the time is right, show her everything."

"As you wish."

"Mama. Please don't make me."

She let go of my hand, stood up and slowly backed away.

"Mama! No!"

"No!" I sit up in my bed and look around to find that I am, in fact, not even on my bed. I'm hovering over my bed. Well... that's new. I attempt to lower myself back into my bed, but I instead completely drop down, almost breaking the wooden legs that already needed fixing in the first place. Oops. "Echora?"

"Yes Miss Luna?"

"I told you not to let me fall asleep."

"Although you are from another planet and do not need the required sleep that humans do, you do still eventually need sleep as well. It is proven that people who sleep roughly 7 to-"

"Okay. Okay. I get it." I lean onto my hands behind me and allow my head to drop back with weight out of pure frustration. I think to myself for a moment: What am I missing? There's a piece of this story missing. After a few minutes of going over each individual piece of the information I do have, I begin feeling overwhelmed and give up. Why must everything be so difficult? I look over at the clock beside my bed— a small pink cube that, when you pat the top, it glows pink— and I read 5:03 am. Wonderful. Just wonderful. I guess i'll go to the lab and train or something.

In the speed lab, I take a few laps and do some cardio. I don't know why I exercise. Exercising doesn't affect me. Although, I guess it helps clear my mind. I can't remember the last time I had a clear mind, though. It's always cluttered with my insecurities and doubts and issues with people in my life. I look around the room and my eyes land on my pod, which is still on top of a table in the corner of the room waiting for someone to acknowledge it. There's a paper inside of the pod that I never really noticed before. You can tell straight away that it's from another planet just by the coralish color of the paper and the kind of handwriting used. I suddenly remember when I was at home and mami said something about a note that came with my pod. I guess I never really got to read it nor did I even want to read it.

Hesitantly, I walk over and rest my hands on the table just a few inches in front of the pod.

"Screw it." I open up the pod and take the paper out, carefully unfolding it. You can tell that it was written with haste, yet the handwriting was still extremely neat. Finally, I read it:

I glide my hand over the note and close my eyes, allowing the tears that were building up, to fall. I miss then so much.. But I also know that they did what they thought was right. This note gave me the closure and answers that I needed about that day. I let out a shaky breath and feel a calmness consume me, something I haven't felt in years.

"Oh, uh.. Sorry, Luna. I didn't know you were in here. I can just uh.."

Harry. I've been putting my anger in all the wrong places. Sure Harry has made some mistakes, but I need to stop dwelling on what happened and try to be nice to him.

I quickly wipe my tears and put the note back into the pod in a way that it wouldn't be visible, then quickly turn around. "No. It's okay. I was just training and took a little break. You can stay if you want."

~Harry's POV~
She turns around and says something to me, but all I see is the fact that her eyes are puffy from crying. They are quickly returning to their normal state. That doesn't change the fact that she was crying. All I want to do is hold her in my arms and ask her if she is okay, but after everything that has happened.. after what happened between us and how complicated it was getting... she probably doesn't feel the same about me anymore.

~Lunas POV~
I see worry flash over his face and my hands consciously go to my face to feel my swollen eyes that were currently still healing. I look down at my feet and let my arm fall back to my side. Harry was always there for me before, but things are different now. Even though I want to run into his arms and stay there forever, we're in an awkward situation. And who knows, he's probably losing his feelings for me anyways. If he had any to begin with.

"Do you need help?"

I lift my head up to look at him and furrow my brows. Help with what?

As if he read my mind, he replies, "With training. Do you need help with training?

Luna.. be careful here. There's a difference between being nice to him and becoming attached again. Say no. You can train by yourself. You weren't even training to begin with!

"Uh, sure!" Why. Literally why did I just say that..

"Alright let's get to it!"
