(...)
We reached my house by 2:30 am and Luna did not want to get out of the backseats, I tried to pull him and pick him up but he just kept crying.
"Please just listen to me, I'm not going to let anything hurt you. Teddy and I are going to help you."
He calmed a bit so I stooped down to his level, I touched his forehead and he was still very warm.
"Daniel is gone your safe."
He nodded wiping his loose tears away, I looped my arm around his waist and we staggered inside.
Luna then decided to go limp and we fell in the doorway, I was thankful my parents were gone till tomorrow evening or I'd be dead; I sighed throwing him over my shoulder.
"Alex I feel so blurry."
I snickered then quickly stopped myself; how could I even laugh after the scare I had with him tonight...but he just didn't make any sense.
I walked down the stairs then set him down on my bed, he flopped down like a dead body and remained quiet.
"Luna, a-are you still warm.?"
He didn't say anything, he was beginning to scare me again.
"Luna?"
I grabbed the chest of his shirt pulling him up so he'd look at me.
"Can I get you anything?"
His gaze was basically lifeless, still not saying anything he put his head in my chest and clutched my shirt in his fists. I could feel him mutter something as I play with his hair trying to keep him relaxed.
"I can't hear you in my shirt."
He looks up pinching my cheek.
"I'm sleeepy, the lights left me."
He had a faraway look in his eyes so I stood up pulling him over to the pillows, he can't sleep properly doing a starfish half off the bed.
"Alex don't leave me."
I stood over him brushing my hand across his face giving him a reassuring look.
"You have nothing to worry about, I'll be right outside. I'll check on you every five minutes."
He grabbed my wrist hauling me back down beside him, for a shrimp he's got a good grip.
"Lay with me."
I groaned but did as he asked, he slowly shut his eyes and in no time dozed off.
I slipped off the bed remembering I still had Teddy upstairs waiting for me; it was weird I had only met him literally an hour ago and yet I had already invited him into my house.
I kept my bedroom door open making sure I could hear Luna if he woke up then ran back upstairs, Teddy was sat on the couch as he glanced up from his cell phone.
"S-Sorry about that, He fell asleep."
He smiled.
"It's alright, you guys are close so it's probably best if you help him."
I nodded walking closer towards him.
"We've been friends for as long as I can remember, I just can't believe how messed up he is right now."
I then sat down across from him.
"Is he going to be alright?"
I questioned him not really expecting his answer to be serious but he nodded his head.
"As long as we both keep an eye on him, he should be fine."
I leaned my head back still feeling guilty, I should have been there for him sooner.
"Alex it's not your fault, It's that psycho's fault. Who slips someone LSD?"
I shook my head fighting back my tears.
"Alex trust me, I know he'll be alright. How about we check on him again."
I didn't say anything just stood up and we both walked back downstairs, thankfully Luna was still sleeping soundly.
"See we did what we were supposed to, now we just have to hope he's sober when he wakes up."
I went back over to Luna sitting down next to him, I moved his hair away from his face checking to see if he was still breathing. So it's LSD... how does Teddy know Luna hadn't said anything, out of curiosity I asked.
"How do you know It's LSD?"
I glanced over at Teddy as he fiddled with his fingers nervously.
"Y-Yeah erm, I had a friend who was into that stuff."
I nodded, I didn't really want to ask him that question but if I didn't it would have been on my mind all night.
"Sorry, I didn't mean t-
"It's alright, you didn't know."
He came over sitting down beside me, studying Luna's "dead body".
"You guys are pretty nice; even to people you just meet."
I laughed trying to stay quiet.
"I could say the same to you, I don't know too many people who'd be willing to help me or Luna out."
He looked at me confused.
"What do you mean by that?"
I touched Luna's forehead, he was still burning hot.
"One thing that sucks about our school is the rumours, I'm surprised you haven't heard them yet."
I looked back up at him as he remained confused.
"Luna is "majorly" gay and in our school everyone that hangs out with him is also gay."
Teddy looked like he saw a ghost.
"B-But wasn't Luna datin-
"Dating Daniel, yeah Daniel kept it a secret but I bet if anyone did find out he's so popular he'd get away with it."
Teddy sat there for a second I guess thinking about everything.
"So then the marks on his face..."
He shook his head, his expression was mixed with sadness, anger and frustration.
"Why?"
His voice cracked slightly.
"I wish I knew, Daniel even went as far as pushing Luna out of a moving car and they're still together."
He looked at me with disbelief, then looked back at Luna.
"How could somebody hurt him."
He flailed his arms out then rolled his eyes, I began snickering.
"I had to hassle him every day just to get him to tell me, It was nuts I swear If Luna didn't stop me I would have killed Daniel."
Teddy stood up and began quietly walking around the room.
"Soo what exactly happened?"
I cleared my throat.
"Luna didn't exactly tell me why he was pushed out of the car, I was studying and got a text from him at around 12 am. He asked me to let him in and from the start, I knew something was up, I opened the door and he was just standing there hunched over holding his arm. I pulled him in and turned on the lights, he had cuts all over his face, was covered in dirt and when I told him to show me his arm it had a giant rash on it. I guess from rolling out of the car but it took him a whole week to finally tell me it was from Daniel."
Teddy stayed quiet standing at my bookshelf, just staring at it.
"Why are you so curious?"
He jolted around.
"Oh, I just wanted to know."
I smirked at him.
"Sounds like your hiding something."
He quickly glanced away and I could see him blushing.
"Are you blushing?"
He covered his ears.
"N-No!"
I shook my head.
"I'll let you off with it but tomorrow I'm going to bug the shit out of you, are you staying here or do you want me to take you somewhere?"
He cleared his throat.
"I'll stay here, I left my car at the party but I've had something to drink."
I got up putting some pillows and blankets on the floor then smirked, I trust him he seems like a cool person but let's put that to the test.
"You can sleep in the bed I'll sleep on the floor, just wake me up if Luna gets sick or something."
He looked at me dumbfounded and I couldn't help but laugh again, his expressions were priceless.
"Unless you want to sleep on the floor?"
He fumbled on his words.
"I'll s-sleep on the bed."
I laid down and turned to face the door, I was going to keep an eye on them. It was hard to sleep anyway with everything from tonight just resting in my head.
"Goodnight."
Teddy's Pov
I couldn't believe what I was hearing, that cunt pushed him out of a moving car. What the fuck; I glance over at Luna sleeping soundly and don't understand how someone could hurt him he's just... Too cute.
"Why are you so curious?"
I jolted around as I was spaced out.
"Oh, I just wanted to know."
That was a lie, earlier today when I first met eyes with Luna I couldn't get him out of my head, so I bumped into him on purpose hoping to at least get his name and then I ran into him at the party.
Having this many run inns with one person can't just be a coincidence maybe something kept bringing us together. But it is wayy too soon to say I had a crush on him besides we literally just met wouldn't it be creepy?...
"Sounds like your hiding something."
I glanced away from Alex feeling my face heat up, shit he can't know he'll definitely tell him.
"Are you blushing?"
I covered my ears and face, I'll just act like I don't know so he'll drop it.
"N-No!"
I kept avoiding his gaze until he eased off, he asked if I was sleeping over or if I needed a ride.
I lived too far for him to drive me at this time plus Luna was here and I didn't wanna leave him alone not knowing if he was going to be alright or not, after all, I've taken enough LSD to know that it wasn't fun.
It just took my mind off of everything I was going through. What Alex said next shocked the shit out of me. He made a makeshift bed on the floor and as I was getting ready to go over he pointed to the bed.
"You can sleep in the bed I'll sleep on the floor, just wake me up if Luna gets sick or something."
I looked at him with my mouth wide open, confused.
"Unless you wanna sleep on the floor?"
He smirked and I just stayed quiet playing with my fingers.
"I'll s-sleep on the bed."
I fumbled on my words but managed to get them out, Alex laid down on the floor and covered up turning his back towards me.
"Goodnight."
I walked over to the other side of the bed and crawled In beside Luna.
"G-Goodnight."
How the fuck was I supposed to sleep, I could feel my face get warmer and warmer. Thanks, Alex you ass. I guess it's safe to say that my first day here wasn't all that bad, I met two new people that didn't seem to be like everybody else.
Luna turned towards me itching at his nose, how can someone be even cuter asleep. I gently inched towards his face moving his hair out of the way so I could get a closer look, I felt my stomach drop; most of the makeup he was wearing came off and I could see that big bruise that was on one of his cheeks.
The more I kept staring the more I saw, he had several scratches scattered around his face and his bottom lip even had a mark on It. I became upset, how could you stay with someone so horrible. I closed my eyes just listening to his breathing. I wish I could help him more...
