A New Reality

Chapter 19 Listening

Roman took my hand and lead me outside and had me sit down on the steps.

"So princess tell me what's wrong." He said in a reassuring way.

"Well...I'm just confused is all."

"Really now? About what exactly?"

I thought for a moment before answering the prince's question with another one.

"How can you all be so nice to me? I did nothing to deserve this and here I am. I don't mean to sound ungrateful but why? Why do you guys care so much?"

The prince stared at me in such shock that I would say such a thing. I couldn't help but to.always wonder why they were like this. I felt bad for even telling the cold secret I've been keeping.

"I-I'm sorry...I shouldn't have said-"

"No, no, dear you shouldn't be sorry. Do you really not know why we care?" He said pulling me into a hug.

"...Over the past years the only ones who cared about me back then we're the others. So no I never knew why."

"We care because we love you Luna. Because you're safe here and you can tell us when you don't feel safe. You don't need to stifle your emotions. As Lo puts it, it's not healthy for you. So if you ever need to talk go to Thomas or one of us alright princess?" He said with a smile across his lips.

"Yeah...thanks Ro."

"It's no problem dear now do you wanna watch a movie?"

"Umm...sure."

We went back inside and crawled onto the couch and he put on a movie. Before I knew it I shut my eyes falling asleep in the prince's embrace.

_Third POV_

Roman took a notice to the weight that was now on him. He saw that it was Luna passed out in his arms. He couldn't help but to smile fondly at the sight. Virgil came into the room and saw them on the couch.

"What happened?"

"Well apparently Logan was right."

"He's right about a lot of things be specific." Virgil said.

"You know, about the bottling emotions thing. She's been doing it and it's been affecting her terribly."

"Hmm, she's just a real mystery to be honest."

"Yeah, can  you hand me the remote?"

"Go do it yourself you have arms."

"But I'm comfy!" The prince winned.

The anxious side grinned mischievously as he took the controller and put it further away from him.

"Why do you do this?" Roman winned some more.

"Because I can princey besides we have to tell Thomas about Luna."

"Wait what? Why?"

"With a good relationship for family members they have to be open and honest."

"You heard our conversation didn't you?"

"Yeah basically."

Roman sighed before getting out of Luna's grip and slipping her into his arms.

"Let's go put Luna in her room before she wakes up." Roman whispered to Virgil.

He nodded before following Roman. Roman made it to her room and Virgil opened her door cautiously. Roman tucked her in and made sure that her lights were off then exited the room closing the door gently behind them. As they were walking down the stairs they saw Hazel and Sage fighting amongst each other. So they watched quietly and tried their best not to make a sound.

"What. Did. You. Do." Hazel demanded.

"Hazel you're acting irrational." Sage said blankly.

"No I'm not I'm trying to help her unlike you."

"I don't get how I'm not helping her."

The situation became heated between the two. While the prince and the spider became more and more tempted to step in.

"She opened up! She blew the walls down! We're fucking screwed Sage!"

"No we aren't and stop using that absurd language of yours it's considered highly inappropriate."

"And? Do you really think I don't care about language right now?!"

"Apparently not."

"Ugh! Do you not know what this means?"

"I'm aware of what this means but even Jenni and Violet is taking it easier than you are. So if they can deal then can you."

"Thatssss because they haven't figured it out smart guy!"

"I'm taking that as a compliment. Besides there is nothing to figure out here she just told someone that wasn't us. Is that so wrong?"

"You don't get it and you're supposed to be the dumb one. If she opens up more soon she'll get hurt! The more hurt she gets the more out of balance we become. The more unbalance the more control-! Nevermind I'll tell you later about that."

"Hazel...I get that you're concerned but someday we'll have to let her open up no matter what we think or say about it. Something like that is beyond our control."

"I know I just have a horrible feeling about this. I don't want to see her broken again. I won't let it happen! Not again!"

"I'm sad to say that we all will be broken in some way there is no true escape but it's really about our reaction to what will happen in the future alright?"

She nodded before looking behind her to see Virgil and Roman on the staircase looking far too concerned. Hazel's eyes widened as she grabbed Sage's arm and ran somewhere else.

"Wait! Come back-"

Roman was about to chase after them before Virgil grabbed Roman gently by the sleeve and sighed at his actions.

"Virgil? Do you think?" Roman began.

"Yeah...this might be just a new secret to unfold about her. Let's let them figure it out alright?" Virgil said letting go of his sleeve.

"Yeah but-"

"Just do it alright. We can't interfere with this no matter how much we want to we can't."

"...if you say so."

_Luna's POV_

My eyes fluttered open as I looked around to find out that I was back in my room. I assumed that I was carried back considering that there was a small crack in the doorway still. I sat up and realized that I was still dreading that I've let my walls down.

"What a show you've had there! I've got to say not even a shower of blood or acid rain would've made it better!"

"What do you want Raven?"

"Someone to waste my time with! Duh."

"Go bother Sage don't you two do experiments together?"

"Yeah, but you're more fun to mess with! The more tired you are the better! And shes busy with Hazel right now something about your walls being put down?"

"WHAT! Where are they?!?"

"Last I remember they ran off after Virgie and Roman caught them talking about it!" Raven said with a smirk on her face.

"Why are you so happy about this? It isn't good!"

"So?"

"Leave before I bash your head in."

"Alright party pooper!" She said before she left.

After she left I got up and left my room to try to find them. Hopefully they didn't listen to all of their conversation. I'm just confused and I can now tell that they are too...
