My Brother's Best Friend

Chapter 15

Luna's POV:

Today has been alright so far, just a normal Saturday. Well its been alright mostly because I sat in my room for 3 hours after waking up doing nothing and not socializing. It's 10 am right now, Emilio is awake but Dylan is still asleep. Mom has already left for work.

"What are you doing?" I ask Emilio. He was looking under the dining table for something. "I dropped my chicken nugget," He pouted. That caused me to smile for the second time this month.

"It's right there," I said pointing at a corner away from the dining table. Emilio practically dragged himself to the nugget and picked it up. "Eh I guess it's still good to eat." He said before stuffing the whole thing in his mouth.

"Is that a smile I see?" He asks getting up with a wide smile on his face. "It is, indeed," I chuckled. "Oh my oh my! My wish has been granted!" He exclaimed throwing his hands in the air running around the dining table.

Then, out of nowhere, I felt my feet in the air and some one lifting me up. I look behind me and Dylan is swinging me around as I laugh my confused ass off.

"Woooooohooooo!" Dylan shouts. "What's all the excitement about?" I ask as Dylan put me down, still laughing. "You're back to the Luna we know again!" Emilio exclaims.

I never thought that my laugh would get them to be this happy.

Well of course it will you haven't laughed in a whole month.

They got a point.

"We shall celebrate this moment by watching Toy Story 1." Dylan says in a posh accent.

"AnDy's cOmiNg!" Emilio shouts as we all run to the living room and Dylan sets up the movie. I sat down in between Dylan and Emilio stuffing my face with popcorn before the movie even started.

"Hey I want some popcorn!" Dylan pouted. "Nah I'm good." I said sticking my tongue out at him. He just took a handful of my popcorn and ate it all at once.

We were so concentrated in the movie that we've watched 382 times but we still counted Toy Story as one of our faves. I find myself resting my head on Emilio's shoulder while watching the movie, slowly falling asleep.

Emilio's POV:

The movie finishes and 'You've got a Friend In Me' starts playing. I look over and see that Dylan was sleeping on Luna's shoulder, Luna's head was on my shoulder and she too was asleep.

Well, might as well just take a nap.

I am tired after all..I haven't slept all night long. I rest my head on the arm of the couch I'm sitting on making sure to put Luna in a comfortable position and try not to wake her up. I close my eyes and later darkness consumes me.

I wake up by the sound of shouting coming from somewhere near the place I was asleep in. I sit myself up to see that Dylan and Luna weren't there. I unlock my phone to check the time and it's only still 12 pm.

I get up and walk towards the shouting noise, it sounded like it was Jenny (Luna's mother) who was shouting. I enter the kitchen and find Luna trapped sitting in a corner, her knees up to her face and she was rocking herself.

Not again.

She's having a panic attack, it happened twice before. Whenever someone shouts at her nowadays, she gets terrified. I'm guessing that what happened to her has a big affect on this.

Jenny was drunk I'm assuming since she was screaming nonsense and I'd say hurtful things at Luna.

"You think I don't know what you did? You fucked a guy! You lost your virginity at only 17, you know what that makes you? A slut! And then you go around telling people 'you got raped' when really you probably were the one that wanted to have sex with him!" Jenny kept shouting. How can a mother say such things to her daughter?! Even if she was drunk, that's just way too much!

I ran up to Luna, who was now rocking herself uncontrollably, it probably helped. She was mumbling something underneath her breath, but I barely caught what she was saying.

"Stop screaming at her! Sober up, that's not something you would tell your fucking daughter!" I shouted at Jenny attempting to pick up Luna so I can carry her out of that kitchen. I pick her up and take her outside the kitchen, then putting her down on the couch. She kept holding on to me her grip tight with fear around my torso. She was gasping for air when I noticed that she had a hard time breathing.

"Breathe in, breathe out," I say adjusting her making her sit up properly. She was still shaking, but I can tell she had calmed down. "Are you okay?" I ask, she nods in response. "Where's Dylan?" I ask.

"He's..he went to pick up Kait..she said that she needed to stay away from her dad,"

"Did he do anything to her?"

"I still don't know.."

There was a moment of silence. Luna stared down at her wrists, still sitting in front of me, and I just looked at her. She's broken.. everything is coming and going like waves. All the trouble.

"Mom is right," Luna spoke up. "I am a slut."

"Nonsense. You didn't plan for any of that to happen. The only one who should be guilty here is Bryan,"  I explain. "But mom won't understand the fact that I didn't intend for any of that to happen. She'll keep reminding me..and blaming me..." She says looking down.

I lift up her chin to make her look at me. She looks at me with those blue eyes that were no longer filled with happiness and positivity, but with pain and sorrow. I knew how she was feeling just by looking at her eyes, they told me everything. I put my hand down as our eyes locked, I place my hand over hers.

"Emilio.. I'm- I.. I'm sorry..."

"What are you sorry for?" I ask her,softly. "Theres nothing to be sorry about, Luna. You haven't done anything wrong."

Luna's POV:

Oh yes, Emilio. There's a lot to be sorry about. You saved me , you still are. And what did I do to you in return? Nothing.

I felt a tear roll down my cheek as I kept locking my gaze with Emilio. "Don't cry.." He says wiping my tear away with his thumb, making me get butterflies in my stomach from his effective touch.

We were both lost in each other's eyes. I was just staring directly deep into them, he was doing the same.

We got interrupted by a knock on the door, which I assumed was Dylan and Kait. Emilio got up breaking our eye contact and I followed him towards the door. Emilio opened the door, revealing Dylan with Kait between his arms, unconscious.
