His Scarlet Queen Luna
Chapter 7

“What are you doing here..” I asked him through gritted teeth.

” I uhh brought your stuff..” he said handing me a paper bag.

“Ohh,” I said embarrassed grabbing the bag. Then I remembered I still had his shirt and it’s in my laundry pile.

“I didn’t wash yours..” I said sheepishly…

“Oh, it’s okay..” Zane smirked coming closer.

“Don’t..” I said stepping back.

” I don’t want you near me..” I remembered what happened this morning when he touched me. He stopped and looked at me with an emotion I couldn’t decipher.

“I mean you know what happened this morning..” I said shyly. As if realization hit him his mouth was shaped into an ‘O’

We stood there In silence for a few minutes. Neither of us talking it was kinder nice until I remembered earlier events…

“Why..” I began.

” Huh..” he asked.

“Why did you do it?”

“Do what?”

“Why did you take me to your house then left Jenna at the party did you do it so that you could break our friendship?..” I asked him now looking at him.

“I didn’t….”

” I don’t want to hear it I know guys like you Zane you want your to cake and eat it too. Did you take me to your house so that you could lay with me or did you do it so that I can think you are a hero who saved me from my harasser when in reality I wasn’t even being harassed.!!!.” at this point my voice had risen a bit.

“DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID… THAT GUY YOU BEAT UP YESTERDAY WAS MY FREAKING BROTHER FOR GOODNESS SAKE HE WAS DANCING WITH ME SO THAT NO OTHER GUY WOULD COME CLOSE AND THEN WHAT DID YOU DO YOU FREAKING ALMOST KILLED HIM.!!.” I yelled not caring now if my mother heard me I had to give this bad boy a piece of my mind.

“This morning I was grateful I was like Zane is a nice guy he saved me from the harasser and wasn’t a bad person after all but boy was I wrong..” I said exasperated.

” I’m sure you only took me to your house so that you can rape me. I was such a fool to think nice things about you because you don’t deserve it. You deserve to rot in Hell for beating up my brother and for almost breaking my friendship with Jenna. You are the worst person to ever exist on this planet and I hate you with all my heart and soul and I pray your filthy soul rots in hell..” I looked at him and wished I hadn’t said all that. oh my gosh, I hurt him.

“Oh is that what you think of me..?” he asked in a small whisper. I didn’t say anything just looked at him.

“You think I could do such a thing to you..?” He took two steps back then turned around and walked away.

‘I think you hurt his feelings’ my subconscious told me I wanted to call him and say sorry but words couldn’t come out as I watched him disappear in the darkness of the night. What have I done? I am one person who cares about people’s feelings and makes sure I don’t say things that might hurt them. What did I do just now?. I felt a huge emptiness in my heart as I stood there staring at the spot where he disappeared. Guilt was now consuming me from the inside.

His hurt face was now planted in My brain I couldn’t close my eyes without it being there. Why did I say that? I thought I was saying the truth could it be that he thought Val was harassing me and tried to save me?

I won’t think about him anymore he can rot in hell for all I care.

‘You care’ my subconscious told me ‘you care about his feelings

‘hey, who’s side are you on?’ I scolded my subconscious. I furiously went back inside the house locking the door behind me off to my room but I couldn’t sleep I tried drinking warm milk which only made it worse. Guilt was consuming me like a vampire being burnt by the sun. Why did I say those stupid things? Maybe I should call him and apologize.

I took my phone and started scrolling through my contacts after searching for five minutes I realized I didn’t have his number on my phone. I sighed throwing it away…

Oh, I don’t wanna die of guilt but what can I do I just can’t go out at this time and look for him he probably is at home right now. What am I going to do? I glanced at the time 11 pm. I picked up my phone and called the only person who can help me. After three rings he picked up.

“hey, pink panther why are you calling me at this time shouldn’t you be sleeping..?” He asked sleepily.

“Yeah, I know… I just can’t sleep I have made a big mistake..”

.”What did you do?? oh my gosh did you get yourself pregnant.?”

“No Val why do you always think that.?”

” well you are a girl..” he said and I sighed.

“Look are you feeling better..?” I asked.

“Yeah my wounds have all healed I am as good as new..”

“Great can you come over I want to tell you something..” I said and then hung up after he said okay. I sighed getting into bed going under the covers while waiting for him. He had a spare key to our house just like I did to his so there was no worrying about going back down to open the door for him.

After ten minutes I heard the door hinge squeak I looked up to see Val standing there I smiled at him and he came closer coming under the covers.

“So what happened..?” he began

“Zane came here..”

“What..?” he asked.

” Yeah and I sorta said something I shouldn’t have now I feel guilty..?”

“What did you say to him..?” he asked me softly and I told him everything. After seconds of Val processing everything he pulled me close to him and kissed my forehead.

“It’s not your fault pink panther you only said what you felt was right..”

“But what can I do to stop feeling guilty I feel it in me that Zane might look to be a bad boy but surely there is good in him right..?!” I said and Val chuckled.

“pink panther you always see good in everyone and that’s why you are a good person and if you are feeling guilty maybe you should apologize..”

“You think so..?” I asked.

“I know so, plus I know you. you never stop feeling guilty about something until you do the right thing..” he said kissing my forehead.

“I guess you are right..” I sighed.

“Get some sleep and tomorrow you will apologize..” He said and I smiled at him.

“Go on close your eyes you won’t fall asleep with your eyes open..” I giggled.

” Okay fine,” I said then closed my eyes, and soon after a sleep overtook me.

I was running again and the blue-eyed monster was chasing me through the woods I stumbled upon a tree root and fell down face flat. I managed to get up but I couldn’t run away the monster managed to tackle me down.

“Please don’t hurt me..” I whispered closing my eyes waiting for something anything to happen but nothing I could feel the monster breathing on my face but I didn’t dare open my eyes.

‘Open your eyes’ a voice said in my head startling me.

I slowly opened them to stare right through those piercing blue orbs. I saw hurt it’s like the monster was hurting and only I can do something to make the pain go away. I slowly lifted my hand to touch the monster’s face but felt soft fur. It wasn’t a monster but a wolf after touching the fur the wolf purred under my touch and I giggled.

But the moment lasted only for a second and where the wolf was standing Zane showed up with the same hurt expression on his face.

“Zane I’m sorry..” I said but he took two steps back going away from me.

“Zane come back..” I called but he didn’t stop. I have to apologize I started running towards him but the more I ran the further he went from me. I fell to the ground crying I couldn’t bear seeing him hurt because of me I need to see him I need to apo……

“Pink panther wake up…” someone said and I shot up breathing heavily Val was sitting up looking at me with a worried expression.

” Val..” I said sobbing in his chest.

“What’s wrong sweetheart..” he asked stroking my hair.

‘”It’s Zane I need to apologize I saw him in my dream and then weird and then wolf and hurt and…..” I couldn’t say anything that was making sense mostly my voice was muffled by my sobs and well my face was buried in Val’s chest.

“It’s okay shhh everything will be okay..” he said. I don’t know how long I sobbed but I found myself feeling better and giggling at Val’s jokes.

“Thanks, Val..”

” for what Princess.?” He asked I was laying on his chest while his hand was still running through my hair.
