A New Reality

Chapter 23 Trouble

(There's some language in this so yeah.)

She greeted her dad with a small smile before entering the car.

"Hey, Luna how was school?"

"Well, it was-"

Before she could finish Harper chimed in.

"She may or may not have almost gotten into a fight!"

"Harper! Not in the car!" Luna said to the side who couldn't keep her mouth shut.

"Wait what! Luna are you alright? Did you get hurt!?!" Thomas said in worry.

"No, I'm fine dad we talked things though and-"

"You're still in trouble young lady."

"But-"

"No, were discussing this once we get back home." He said somewhat strictly.

She stayed dangerously silent once she heard that from him. He's never acted like this before to her it was a whole different mood. Maybe he wasn't as good as she thought. A dozen thoughts passed by her mind as the car came to a stop. Without thinking she opened the car door and ran inside before Thomas could say another word. She ran into the bathroom and locked it behind her. Harper appeared infront of her. She couldn't help but to be mad at her.

"Luna-"

"Harper...for my sake just leave I just need some room to breathe."

"Luna I'm sor-"

"Just go away Harper!!"

She looked at Luna with dejected eyes before sinking out. Luna regretfully didn't mean that but she was just mad at herself in that moment. Outside Thomas took his keys out of the car and followed her inside. He didn't see her anywhere all he saw was her school bag on the floor. He soon realized why she ran off. He scared her.

"Luna? Where are you?"

Then he heard something that couldn't be unheard. She was crying.

"Go talk to her. Be patient." Patton said with care.

Thomas nodded before going to the bathroom door and knocking gently on it. Luna was on the floor hugging her knees tightly. She was shaking terribly but still had the strength to answer.

"G-go away!" She said from the other side of the door.

"Luna, please let me explain I just wanted to talk to you about this."

"That's what they all say. But I'll listen."

He sighed before explaining himself.

"It might've seemed like I was mad but I wasn't. I just don't want to see you hurt. I'm sorry that I didn't listen to you even though I should've. I'm sorry that I raised my voice at you alright."

She stayed silent for a moment not knowing how to respond but decided that it was best if she does.

"L-look dad. Its alright I was just phased from the past. I knew that you had good intentions but you sounded so mad. I never wished for you to be mad. But hey those are just some unrealistic expectations from you and I can't control emotions. It's happens to the best of us."

"I guess you can say that I scared ya a bit didn't I?"

"Yeah,"

"Will you come out now?" He said with calmness in his voice.

Luna got up from the floor and wiped her eyes before unlocking the door and opening it. After she did that she hugged Thomas unexpectedly. He hugged her back since she seemed like she wanted one.

What's going on with the sides one may ask. Well Hazel was not happy about it to say for the most part.

"We trusssted you! No she trusted you!" Hazel hissed between her words.

She was infront of Lexi and Harper with anger. Infront of Hazel was Patton, Logan and Roman.

"Haze it's fine-"

"No, no, no Harper! She's not fine! None of this is fine! Don't you get it! He scared her! You know what the hell happeneds whenever we make someone mad! It's the same damn cycle of emotions!"

"It was just a simple mistake Hazel! I'm sure he didn't actually mean it like that." Roman said not even knowing what's going on.

"Yeah kiddo, please calm down he didn't mean it honest!" Patton said keeping his distance from the angered snake.

"Hey, you guys just don't get it do you? You cover your own emotions and think everything's ok, like everything will be just fine! Well guesssss what!-"

"Hazel! That's quite enough from you!" Sage snapped.

Sage came up just in time to stop her. When she did it brought everyone to a shock.

"Sage stay out-"

"Hazel, I know what you're about to say but please save it. What you were about to say was out of line and unesssary of you to say. Don't blame them for the mistake I made today I gotten us into this and Harper was the one to get us out of it. Was she not?"

"I understand but-"

"Come here and let me show you something."

Before she could even agree or disagree Sage showed Hazel what was happening between the two now.

"What...I don't get it. I thought-"

"Well you thought wrong. They're alright now. They're safe."

Hazel stood there in shock of what she just did to the others.

"I guess you guys aren't as bad as I thought. I apalogize for yelling at you and wasting your time."

"Hazel, it's alright. You're still growing up." Logan said unphased from it all.

"Yeah, Lo's right. At least we know you care for her as much as we do kiddo." Patton said calmly.

Hazel sighed trying not to snap once more with them.

"Now will you excuse me. I need to have a word with Janus."

Hazel saw Janus as a father figure to her. So it was normal that she's come to him the most when she desired to.

"Alright then we'll let you do that then."

When she left to Janus's room the others (Besides Sage) were wondering what the angered snake was about to say. She went to Janus's door and knocked gently onto it.

"Hmm? Who is this?"

"It's just me Jan."

"Oh, you can come in dear."

She pocketed her face mask before coming in the room...
