Chapter 3 [Luna 18 Years Old]

It's been 4 years since he has being bullying me.

I can't believe it,only over one stupid thing he is doing this to me.I found out that Leo was engaged with the love of his life when he was only 5.It sounds crazy but it's true.I didn't go to Rick's room since that day because it freaks me out.I didn't tell anything about Rick to aunt,she is getting old and she has heart disease so I don't want to make her worry.I decided that I will go back to my old house and live there,even if my house in near my aunt's house.I don't know how Rick will react and I don't care.At a second thought that wont really keeo me away from Rick.Wherever I see him I get creeped and when he ignores me or bullyies me,it hurts.

It's like I lost someone i love...but I don't love him,he has always been a friend to me.I have come up with a solid idea now: I planning to finish these last 7 days of school and transfer to New York.I am good at languages so I can teach at school.I have already told about my future plan to Mia and aunt but Rick doesn't know.

Right now I am on my way to school,alone.

"Luna! there are still 7 days to the end of the school and the last time I will see you because you will leave for New York..Don't forget about me!",Mia said with tears in her eyes.

"You're not easy to be forgotten,I will always remember you because you're a pain in the @$$",I said laughing thinking that she might kick me but she only hugged me tighter.

"Hey! don't be sad,you'll make me cry!",I said holding my tears back.

"Luna,does that psycho know that you are leaving?",she said concerned about me

"Of course not,but everyone at the school knows so I think he will find out soon",I said sarcastically.

"Do you like him?",she said joking.

"OF COURSE NOT",I said loudly.

"yeah,yeah.I saw the way you looked at him",she said teasing me.

Okay,I admit I like looking at him.I like his eyes,hair,lips and everything else but it doesn't mean I like him. I hate when he gets near a girl but it's only because he's my cousin.Okay...I like him but I am scared of him.He acts like I psycho.Even after those things many my friends told me like, that there was a guy that liked me and he disappeared after talking to Rick,I still want to believe he cant go to those extremes. Why? Man,we grew up together, he was girst friend. Despite all,his behaviour is... creepy!!!!

(after school)

I was walking to the library because I had to borrow a book for my last exam.I suck at maths so I wanted to read some rules and stuff.I went to the library, took the book and started walking back to home but on the way It stated to rain very heavy so I stopped at the bus stop.

I didn't have any umbrella with me ,my phone was out of battery and there were no taxis available.I was really soaked,my skin was visible all thanks to the soakness of the uniform.I was wearing my uniform,a red short skirt and a white shirt with a red tie.I stated trembling and feeling cold as it started to rain even more. I hate autumn. Suddenly my eyes started feeling heavy.Before closing my eyes I saw him,Rick.He was running to me,with an umbrella with him.He seemed worried that made me happy,he hadn't shown any normal emotions recently.I fell on the ground,I didn't have any energy left in my body.I felt as someone was carrying me like a princess,I could feel gentle touches and a sweet voice saying "you will be alright,I will not let you leave me". This man won't even let me die in peace.

[after a day,POV Rick]

I heard some noises coming from the secret basement that built in my house.Oh right,I tied Luna in the basement.She was going to leave for New York in a week and I didn't want to lose her so I locked her in the basement.I told everyone that she left yesterday because she got a call from her friend.Everyone believed me,hahahah.

I went to the basement where I saw Luna struggling with the chains that i used to tie her.I had already blindfolded her and covered her mouth with a black ribbon.

She was looking like an angel.She was trembling,I suppose she was angry and scared at the same time.I didn't make any sound and went near the bed where she was lying. I went to her slowly without making any sound and hoping that she wouldn't find out my identity or she might hate me more.

I sat beside her and touched her cheek but then I was kicked by her.I am so stupid! I was so happy to have her with me that I forgot to tie her legs.I tied her legs with the chains.Suddenly I heard my mum talking on the phone.I rushed out of the basement and locked the door.

"Son! you said that Luna left but she didn't even say bye to me!'',she said disappointed

"Mum,her friend was sick so she had to leave urgently",I said covering my lie. So it's true that to mask one lie you have to say more lies.

"Um,I understand",she replied defeated.

"Mum,my last exam is coming soon so I am going in my room to study and can I bring 2 sandwiches with me?,I said acting normal.

"sure,you must be hungry to eat 2 sandwiches",she laughed .

"...yes,I am really hungry",I lied again and again.

Mum went to take a shower and I took the 2 sandwiches and 2 glass of orange juice to the basement.

I saw Luna struggling,she got dark red and purplish bruises on her wrists from struggling,her skin peeled off a bit and let to slight bleeding.I got worried and I wanted to tell her to stop but I didn't want her to recognize my voice.

I took off the ribbon from her mouth expecting her to ask me about my identity.

But she said something that I wasn't expecting.

"Rick,it's you right?",she said crying.

"yeah,it's-it's me",I said with my trembling voice.

"why are you doing this to me?aren't we cousins and friends?",she said angry and sobbing.

"I don't want to be your cousin,NEITHER YOUR FRIEND.Once, just once look-look at me once without thinking about our relationship",after what I said I took off the ribbon from her eyes.

"Look at me!",I raised my voice at her.

Then she finally looked at me,she didn't say anything but kept staring at me with those big eyes filed with tears threatening to fall.I felt horrible seeing her tears but at the same time relived because she didn't shout.It was as if she was examining every inch of my face but then she turned red.Was it because of the fever of last night?

"You are red,do you have a fever?and how long are you planning to stare at me like this?,I said confused.

"I don't have a fever and I-I am not staring",she said looking away clearly repulsed by this unpleasant situation she was in.

"Let me go! I don't want to stay here! it's so dark and scary! please take me out!",she said crying once she looked back at me. Panic and desperation were evident in her voice.

I couldn't see her crying,her tears where falling slowly from her beautiful cheeks.Her eyes were shining bright and she was biting her red lips,choking on sobs.

"if you don't stop crying you will regret",I said serious. I didn't want her crying.

"I-i",she cried more and I got angry. Rage took over me,blinded me.

I went to the bathroom of the basement and filled the tub with hot water.I went to Luna and lift her up.She shouted and begged me to let her go but I was out of my mind. I threw her in the tub.She creamed so loudly that I came back to my sense.

"Sorry! I didn't mean to!", said panicked. What the f*ck was i doing?! what was i doing to MY Luna?! MY Beautiful Luna.

I immediately took her out from the tub and put her on the bed.

I apologised to her over and over and explained why I was acting like that but she didn't reply to me.I felt miserable. There was nothing that could excuse my behaviour. My words were falling deaf to her ears. Empty words.

I went to her ex room took her clothes and I changed her.After changing I fed her forcefully and left the basement.I started crying when I got out from there.That wasn't what I was expecting! didn't want to do that! I love her! why can't she love me too?! why!?! I don't want to do that either but I am scared that she might leave me. If she leaves me,I will destroy everything. I will make her mine by all means. She is mine. Always.
