(Luna's Pov)
I fluttered my eyes open to the sound of my phone alarm going off. I sighed and groaned as I hit the snooze button and saw it was 7am meaning I have work. I rolled my eyes and looked seeing Leonard by me, his arms were wrapped around my waist which made me blush and smile tiredly.
I carefully untangled myself from Leonard and headed to the dresser to get dressed. I hopped out of my pj's which was just one of Leo's shirts because I didn't have to hide my scars anymore and Leo didn't want me to hide them anyways so why not just accept them?
I sighed as I looked over at Leonard who was stirring in his sleep, it might be because I'm awake and not besides him. I smiled softly and picked out navy blue jeans with a regular grey top and a jean jacket to top it off. I heard Leonard chuckle which made my eyes widen a bit. I turned seeing Leo awake which made my face flush because I was still in my underwear and bra ''Well this was a good morning to wake up to'' he said smirking, I blushed with embarrassment and huffed as I turned away from him.
He chuckled as he hopped out of bed and wrapped his arms around my waist from behind and kissed my head which made me blush and smile "Sleep well?" he asked, I smiled and nodded "always" I whispered, he smiled and nodded as he gently ran his cold fingers along the scars on my stomach and thighs which made me shiver a little.
He chuckled and pampered my cheek, under my ear and neck with kisses making me blush, smile and giggle "Leo. I have to get ready for work" I said, he sighed ''Do you really have to go to work today?" he asked pouting as he put his head on my shoulder,
I smiled and rolled my eyes ''Yes I will be back later because I have to stop by Joe's to talk to him" I said, ''But that's too long'' he said pouting, I just chuckled ''i'll be back before you know it. Don't get into any trouble while i'm gone'' I said sternly, he smirked ''Awe where's the fun in that?'' he asked, I smiled and rolled my eyes ''Just try not to get thrown in jail'' I said with a sigh ''No promises'' He said smirking still,
I smiled and rolled my eyes and looked at the time, ''Okay I have to go i'm almost late'' I said trying to get out of Leonard's grasp but he was too strong ''No stay'' he said kissing my cheek which made me smile and giggle ''I can't at least not today'' I said trying to be serious with him, Leonard only smirked at me as he slowly kissed down my neck.
I knew and saw his little plan as I bit my lip slightly, I tried to escape but I couldn't ''Leonard you're gonna make me late for work'' I said pouting ''That's the plan'' He said evilly smirking as he kissed my neck again, I sighed and rolled my eyes ''Fine i'll take a sick day but you are driving me to Joe's later'' I said trying to be mad at him but it was really hard to,
Leonard just smirked knowing he won ''deal'' he said, I just rolled my eyes and sighed as I called in sick ''You're lucky I like you'' I said glaring at him, he glared back and smirked which made me sigh ''So what now?" I asked sighing as I set my clothes on the dresser for tomorrow,
Leonard yawned ''Well its only 8am and i'm tired lets go back to sleep'' He said, I sighed and rolled my eyes as Leonard basically pulled me into bed and yet I was still only wearing my bra and underwear...awkward...I chuckled as he pulled me close to him. I sighed as I started feeling tired again so I soon enough I fluttered my eyes closed and fell asleep.
(A few Hours Later)
I fluttered my eyes open seeing I was still tangled with Leonard on his bed. I blushed and smiled tiredly as I looked at the time to see it was 11am. I sighed and groaned as I sat up slightly trying not to wake Leonard. I carefully got up and put on my clothes I was going to wear for work and quietly headed out of his room and downstairs to the kitchen greeted by Mick who was eating and drinking coffee, ''Oh morning kid, I thought you had to work today" Mick said with confusion.
I smiled and sighed as I grabbed a mug for coffee ''I did but Leonard was being a child and asked me to take a sick day and I couldn't say no to his adorable pouty face'' I said crossing my arms trying to be mad, but I just ended up smiling and blushing which made Mick chuckle a bit. I smiled and rolled my eye as I poured myself some coffee, until someone came up behind me and wrapped their arms around my waist which made me jump and squeal a bit ''You really think i'm a child and you think my pouty face is adorable?" Leonard asked smirking,
I blushed and chuckled with embarrassment ''Oh you uh you heard that?" I asked shyly, he chuckled ''Yep'' He said kissing my cheek, I smiled as I rolled my eyes, ''Morning Boss'' Mick said to Leonard ''Morning'' Leonard said back as he grabbed a mug and poured himself coffee as well.
I sighed and sipped my delicious coffee ''So since I don't have work you need to drive me to Joe's'' I said, Leonard sighed ''Yea yea'' he said rolling his eyes, I chuckled and shook my head ''I swear i'm living with children'' I whispered just loud enough so the guys heard me, Mick and Leonard just smirked at me ''You know we heard you right?" Mick asked, I chuckled ''that was the plan'' I said smirking, the guys chuckled and rolled their eyes which made me smile.
After I finished my coffee, I headed back up to Leonard's room and slid on my shoes, brushed my hair and slid on a beanie ''Okay Leonard go get dressed and lets go'' I said with a clap of my hands, ''Do we have to right now?" He asked once again acting like a child. I just rolled my eyes ''I will seriously knock you upside the head and dump you on the side of the road and leave you there, yes now I got things to do'' I said with a sigh of frustration as I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms,
Mick and Leonard laughed and smirked ''damn'' Mick said, I laughed and so did the guys ''Well then'' Leonard said smirking, I just smiled and rolled my eyes ''fine how about this if you get ready right now I will...'' I said tapping my foot trying to figure out a way to persuade him to get ready.
I blushed madly when I thought of it because somehow it was the first thing that popped into my mind...and it's not going away...well shit...''Ooh you're blushing that must mean something'' Mick said with a low chuckle, my eyes widen as I blushed shyly ''Uh it uh its nothing'' I said scratching the back of my head nervously,
Leonard chuckled ''No come on whatever you say I will get ready'' Leonard said as he came up to me and wrapped his arms around my waist, I bit my lip and sighed ''fine, I will uh take showers with you in the morning'' I whispered as I looked at the floor and played with the hem of my shirt.
Leonard smirked as he lifted my chin up to make me look at him. My face was on fire which made him chuckle as he stared into my eyes and placed his lips onto mine. The kiss was short but sweet. Leonard pulled away which made me blush and smile more ''Deal'' Leonard said smirking and with that he went upstairs and got ready which made me roll my eyes as I sat down by Mick,
Mick chuckled ''So what'd you tell him?" Mick asked smirking, I just sighed and shook my head ''I-I told him that if he gets ready now that i'll take showers with him in the morning'' I said as my face grew hot. Mick gave a low chuckle ''Well that seems to work since he's getting dressed'' Mick said smirking, I smiled and blushed as I rolled my eyes.
A few minutes later Leonard came down which made me stand up, ''Ready?" I asked, he nodded ''Okay we'll be back later if not then me and Leonard are probably dead from my family'' I said with a nervous sigh. Mick and Leonard smirked and chuckled ''Good-luck'' Mick said, I smiled and nodded as me and Leonard went outside and got on his motorcycle and drove Joe's.
When we got to Joe's, Leo parked the bike as we hopped off and headed inside only seeing Joe which made me let out a sigh in relief "Hey Joe" I said, he looked at me and smiled ''Oh hey pumpkin what's up?" he asked smiling then glared when Leonard popped up "nothing just came over to tell you something" I said,
He just nodded "Where's Barr and Iris?" I asked, "Iris is working late and Barry is at STAR labs" He said, I just nodded "anyways. I wanted to tell you that me and Leonard are official and I'll be staying with him for a while so I didn't want you to worry about me or anything and no I'm not going to skipping work or anything like that, just thought you should know" I said as I intertwined my fingers with Leonard's who smiled a bit.
Joe sighed and nodded "Well I'm happy for you Pumpkin, you seem so much happier with him and I just want you to be happy but just so you know Snart, you hurt her and i'll shoot you'' He said pointing at him, I giggled and rolled my eyes ''Yea yea don't worry she's in good hands detective'' He said smirking as he put an arm around me,
I blushed and smiled, ''Oh and secondly do not tell Barry I swear to god i'll never hear the end of it from him. He's gonna give me a week of lectures on how I shouldn't date him and he's gonna kill him and me for sure so promise me that you won't tell him no matter what'' I said,
Joe and Leo chuckled ''I promise pumpkin don't worry'' He said, I just nodded ''Okay and lastly I'll be staying a few days or weeks with them if that's okay with you?" I asked, Joe smiled ''Yea of course just stay safe, go to work and be careful with them'' he said smirking, I giggled and smiled which made Leo roll his eyes "Anyways, we should get going, just thought I'd check in" I said,
Joe nodded "Alright pumpkin. You stay safe okay?" he asked, I smiled and nodded as I hugged him tightly "I'm so proud of you, you know that? Your dad would be too" he said, I smiled sadly and nodded "I love you Joe" I said, he smiled "I love you too. Have fun, but not too much fun you hear me" he said, I just giggled and nodded as me and Leonard headed out of the house and back to his place and just took a lazy day it seemed since Leo was acting rather clingy...but not like I'm complaining.
(THE NEXT DAY)
After last night, I pretty much just spent the whole day being lazy with Leo, but not like I was complaining. But I woke up to my phone alarm going off once again which made me sigh as I hit the snooze button.
I looked seeing I was tangled with Leo which made me blush and smile as I carefully go out of bed trying not to wake him up. I grabbed a piece of notebook paper and a pen and wrote Leo a note because I'm that cliché of a girlfriend,
'Went to work, sorry you woke up without me. Coffee will be made. I'll see you later ~ Luna' I smiled as I put it on the nightstand and headed to the dresser and quickly changed into clothes, I grabbed my key and headed downstairs to the kitchen to brew some coffee for the boys. When it was done, I quietly headed out of the house and to my car and off to work. When I got to work, I headed in, greeted my co-workers, made myself coffee and a pastry and got ready to work.
When Jitters was up and ready, Barry and all of his friends walked in which made me sigh a bit. Barry came up and ordered some coffee's to go. While my co-workers made that for them, I couldn't help but think back to when I had no friends and was bullied relentlessly by Tony Woodward...
*Flashback*
Me and Barry were super close, always have been and always thought would be...but turns out I was wrong. When we first started middle school, he was bullied by this kid Tony Woodward. He was in the same grade as us but a couple inches taller than both me, Barry and Iris so he thought he was hot shit because he was taller.
Well me being the little sister, I was still protective of my older brother and when no one else did anything, I stepped up because I didn't like seeing my older brother get hurt...When I saw Tony push Barry, I had to do something and no one was doing anything.
I clenched my fists angrily and walked up to Tony and shoved him into the lockers. Everyone gasped "Now you listen to me asshole. You leave my brother alone or I swear to god I will make your life a living hell, you got that?" I asked harshly while grabbing on the collar of his shit.
He nodded vigorously which me smirk a bit "good, now get out of here before things get ugly" I said as I let him go and he ran off. I walked up to Barry and checked out his wounds "a-are you o-okay Barr Barr?" I asked softly.
His eyes widen "L-Luna you just stuck up for me" he said, I smiled softly "of course I did. You're my big brother Barry. I won't allow anyone to hurt you" I said, he smiled and pulled me in a hug which made the others awe cause apparently we had an audience "I love you so much Luna" he said, I smiled "I love you so much too Barry" I said and after that he didn't mess with Barry...
But the week after, Tony came after me...First it was name calling, then he would trip me in the halls or pull my hair and when Barry saw, he'd ask what happened and I would just say I fell because I can't have him worry that his bully bullied me because I know Barry would try and do the same thing and I can't have that happen so I took it all...
All the tripping, name calling, pushing, shoving, slapping, punching...all of it...Of course Joe found out but what could he do? Teachers can't really do anything, sure they could suspend him, but he'd only come back and hurt me more because I was a tattletale so I kept my mouth shut and just dealt with it...and after that...Barry focused on himself and school...he changed his life around while I was drowning and he didn't notice nor care enough to do anything...
*End of flashback*
I blinked back to reality when my co-worker nudged me, I let out a big sigh as I felt the tears welled up in my eyes. I excused myself to the bathroom and looked in the mirror seeing tears in my eyes. My bottom lip quivered as I put a hand over my mouth and choked on sobs.
I turned on the water and let the sobs escape just making sure no one heard me. All the voices in my head were telling me I was better off dead and that no one cared about me anymore...my mom's dead, my dad's in prison, I'm not Joe's bio daughter, Barry left me, Joe hates me, and Leo and Mick would move on...No one cares, no one would care...Just die, die die...
I clenched my wrists tightly as the urges came back but I can't...I couldn't...I promised Leo I would come to him if I had urges but I can't...I'm not strong enough...I gasped and sighed as I took a few deep breaths and splashed my face with cold water and made sure I looked fine...But inside...I was dying...I was drowning...but no one cared...how could they...After that, I headed out and went back to work like nothing ever happened...and no once even noticed...
(Time Skip After Work)
Finally it was time to leave because I am going crazy and if I don't tell Leo that I need a release bad, it's not going to end well. It was 8pm meaning it was closing time and at least I didn't have to close up this time because that crap gets exhausting.
After I finished cleaning up my end, I hopped in my car and headed back to the house but I felt like I was just going to burst at any moment. When I got home, I parked my car and walked in seeing Leonard and Mick tinkering with their guns,
They looked at me and smiled a bit ''Hey Luna how was work?" Leonard asked, I sighed as my bottom lip quivered and tears fell from my face. Leo looked concerned as he walked up to me and cupped my cheeks "What happened?" He asked, I just shook my head which made Leo sigh as he pulled me in a hug. I gripped onto his shirt tightly and sobbed into his chest.
Leo held me tightly and closely and rocked me back and forth...I hate this...I hate thinking this way and being this way and just everything that's happened...why? Why me? When I was done calming down a bit, Leo pried me off him and cupped my cheek "what happened sweetheart?" he asked,
I sighed and sniffled "it's stupid" I said, Leo sighed "it's not if it's making you upset" he said, I sighed and rolled my eyes "W-when Barry came in with all his friends, I thought back to when we first started middle school a-and there was th-this guy named Tony Woodward. H-he beat up Barry and me being the protective little sister wanted to help protect my big brother since no one else was doing anything but standing there and I couldn't just stand there and do nothing s-so I went up to him and threatened him to stay away from my big brother a-and he did,
''B-but the week after he came after me...He called me names, tripped me and pulled my hair and if Barry saw I lied because I didn't want him to interfere and get hurt again so I took all the beatings...all the pushing, shoving, slapping and punching...a-and then B-Barry did nothing...h-he turned his life around and got everything he wanted while I got nothing a-and the voices in my head were telling me I'm better off dead and n-now I-I wanna hurt myself so bad right now. I don't want to be here anymore...why me Leo? Why?" I explained as I started to cry again.
Leo furrowed his eyebrow with concern as he pampered my face with kisses and wiped my tears away. I sniffled and fiddled with his shirt as he pressed his forehead against mine "I'm sorry you feel this way sweetheart and I'm sorry that happened to you but I promise, I'm here now and I will not let anything bad happen to you. You deserve to be here Luna, with me, with Mick, with Joe and your father...Please sweetheart just take some deep breaths okay?" He asked,
I just nodded and sniffled as I took a few deep shaky breaths. Leo brushed my hair out of my face and kissed my cheeks "c-can we go on a walk?" I asked, Leo nodded "of course, let me grab my gun incase we run into trouble" He said, I smiled and nodded as he grabbed his gun and we headed outside greeted by the fresh and cool air.
I took a deep breath and sighed as I wipe my face and sniffled "it's going to be okay Luna. I promise" Leonard said as he intertwined his fingers with mine. I smiled softly and nodded as I grabbed his arm and leaned my head against it since I can't reach his shoulders.
They lived in the middle of nowhere so it was quiet aside from a few insects but there were no cars, no people, no noise, nothing but peace and silence. I sighed and closed my eyes as I hummed a bit, "I had a dream
I got everything I wanted
Not what you'd think
And if I'm being honest
It might've been a nightmare
To anyone who might care
Thought I could fly
So I stepped off the Golden, mm
Nobody cried
Nobody even noticed
I saw them standing right there
Kinda thought they might care
I had a dream
I got everything I wanted
But when I wake up, I see
You with me
And you say, "As long as I'm here
No one can hurt you
Don't wanna lie here
But you can learn to
If I could change
The way that you see yourself
You wouldn't wonder why you hear
They don't deserve you" I sang softly which made Leo chuckle and kiss my head "lovely voice" he said, I smiled and giggled "Continue" he said, I smiled softly and nodded as I continued,
"I tried to scream
But my head was underwater
They called me weak
Like I'm not just somebody's daughter
Coulda been a nightmare
But it felt like they were right there
And it feels like yesterday was a year ago
But I don't wanna let anybody know
'Cause everybody wants something from me now
And I don't wanna let 'em down
I had a dream
I got everything I wanted
But when I wake up, I see
You with me
And you say, "As long as I'm here
No one can hurt you
Don't wanna lie here
But you can learn to
If I could change
The way that you see yourself
You wouldn't wonder why you hear
They don't deserve you"
If I knew it all then would I do it again?
Would I do it again?
If they knew what they said would go straight to my head
What would they say instead?
If I knew it all then would I do it again?
Would I do it again?
If they knew what they said would go straight to my head
What would they say instead?" I finished singing which made Leo chuckled "I didn't know you could sing" Leo said, I shrugged "it's a hobby" I said, Leo smiled and kissed my head as we continued walking around.
As we were walking around, we heard some loud noises by a building nearby ''What was that?" I asked as I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion, Leo shrugged ''I don't know let's check it out'' he said, I nodded as we walked where we heard the noise.
We saw someone in the distance which made me and Leonard hide behind a tree. We looked seeing a person stealing some stuff from what is seems like a bank, I looked at Leo ''We're gonna steal his stuff aren't we?" I asked with a small smirk, Leo chuckled ''Right you are Sweetheart I take stuff from other criminals as well'' Leonard smirked with a wink, I just chuckled and rolled my eyes.
As we got closer to the guy, Leonard pulled out his gun and shot towards him, he groaned and got sent back a bit as we ran up and took his bags. But as the guy got up, my eyes went wide as my heart started to race as my hands started to tremble ''L-L-Leonard?'' I whispered nervously as I hid behind him and grabbed onto his shirt,
He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion ''What's the matter?" he asked as he gently grabbed onto my hands, ''I-I know h-him'' I said nervously as I was on the verge of tears, ''Who? Who is he?" He asked as his face was full of worry ''Tony Woodward'' I said full of fear. Leonard's eyes widen as he was about to say something until Tony got up and evilly smirked at me ''Well, well, well, if it isn't the other Allen it's been a long time hasn't it'' He said smirking at me and Leonard.
We didn't say anything as Leonard glared at him and I just hid behind Leonard, ''Now I would like my bags back'' He said, Leo chuckled ''Sorry no can do these are mine now'' Leonard said smirking, ''fine looks like i'm just gonna have to take them from you'' Tony said evilly smirking ''I like to see you try'' Leonard said smirking back,
I still trembled and hid behind Leo while grabbing onto his shirt for comfort. Leonard pulled out his cold gun and aimed it at Tony but when it hit him, Tony turned metal? ''What the hell?" I said as my eyes widen ''Oh this? Yea I fell into a vat of molten steel when the STAR labs particle accelerator exploded'' he said shrugging his shoulders...I continued to tremble more because I have no chance against him now and who knows what he'll do to me now...
I grabbed onto Leonard's arm tightly and trembled as I slowly started to break down. He's a criminal now...and way worse than Leo and Mick and he can do literally anything to me and Leonard now ''Awe is this your boyfriend Allen? Never thought your fat and ugly ass like you would get one" He said chuckling and smirking evilly.
This made Leonard's blood boil as he pointed his gun at Tony again and shot him. He barley flinched and he ran towards us, I screamed and quickly ran and hid behind a tree while Leonard and Tony fought. Tony picked up Leonard and threw him at the brick wall of the building "LEONARD!!" I shouted as I ran over to him and made him face me ''Leo? Leonard stay with me you're gonna be okay'' I said as I trembled with fear.
His eyes tried to stay open but he was so out of it...I heard footsteps behind me which made me fear turning around. Tony came behind me and hit me in the head with the back of his metal arm. I groaned as I fell to the ground barely conscious. My vision got blurry and my ears were ringing. I couldn't move or do anything and my head was throbbing with pain.
Tony threw me over his shoulders as he started walking away ''LUNA!!" Leonard shouted, I tried to call out his name and move, but I couldn't and the last thing I heard from Tony was ''i'm taking you somewhere where you never forgot'' and with that everything went black...
(Enjoy...I hate this holiday and fireworks so enjoy the next few chapters!)
