I was heart broken when I realized I still wasn't back to normal... I thought everything worked out after Moonlight read that weird mantra and after she could touch me. I guess I got my hopes too high.

I couldn't face Moonlight anymore after that incident. I was too sad that I thought I would break down crying and I have never cried in front of anyone. I don't like to seem weak. I was trying to keep my tears in. I knew if I stayed with Moonlight and saw her sympathy for me, I wouldn't be able to control myself.

I spent the whole time near the river. It was my favorite place to go to since I was a little kid. I would come with my parents and create a lot of memories together. We would take pictures and I didn't really find it necessary to do that until now.

I realized the importance of taking pictures. Pictures are so important that when you feel like you're not worth living in the world anymore or when you just feel like you don't belong, you look at those pictures and realize you were once the reason for someone's happiness. You are reminded that you have lot more memories to create, not just for yourself but for someone who will once become a part of you.

This place always brought me peace and I was always reminded how it felt to be genuinely loved and cared for. It reminded me of how it felt to have a family and how it felt to be happy. It gave me strength to hold on.

As I watched the calm river glistening in the moonlight, I started to think about Moonlight. The river was just like her, calm, quiet, peaceful and beautiful.

The first day I saw her, I had a different feeling. I never saw her before and I get the reason why. She wasn't the type to go out much. Just thinking about her brightened up my mood and I wonder why. Maybe it was because she was the only person helping me.

It is kind of fascinating that out of all the people in here, she was the chosen one to help me. It's just unexplainable.
When I found out my girlfriend or my ex girlfriend to be apparent was already with someone else... I sure was hurt but when I went at Moonlight's place and heard her words, I started getting intrigued by her. I never met someone who was as wise and as understanding as her.

I loved the way she opened up to me like she always knew me. I loved how honest she was with herself. When she confidently admitted to be a bisexual, I was astonished with how brave she was. It's not usual that people open up like her. She sure would be strong enough to be able to help me.

I was usually someone who kept a journal and now that I could hold things I could surely keep one but to my very own surprise, I don't want to. All I want to do is talk to Moonlight and hear her talk. She always has amazing things to say. She keeps me wondering what she would do next.

After about an hour of thinking about Moonlight, I started feeling better again. I got a hope to be alive and I finally found myself calm enough to sleep. The last thought before I dozed off was Moonlight's smile.

I was awoken by the sun shining brightly on me. I opened my eyes and got up to stretch myself. I breathe in the fresh air and decided to take a walk for a while. I wanted to just refresh myself.

After some time, I decided to go and meet Moonlight. I am pretty sure she would be wondering where I disappeared to. I saw how worried she was last night so I had to let her know I was okay.

I reached at Moonlight's place and I knocked at her bedroom door couple of times but she wasn't answering. So I got inside her room and decided to wait for her to come here.

After few minutes, the door opened and it was Moonlight. She sure was a bit shocked to see me as always since I always appear so suddenly, I can't help it now as it became a habit.

Her hair was slightly wet, seems like she just took a shower some minutes ago. She looked beautiful as usual and there was no denying in that.

"How are you feeling?" She asked looking concerned as she sat near me.

"Dead as usual." I replied annoyed with myself but glad that I could make her laugh. It felt nice to heat her laughter.

After that we simply talked for a while and I even sang her a few lines of song which doesn't happen usually. I never really sang to a girl or anyone before. I mean, I don't consider myself a singer because I am not someone who got a good voice so I didn't really know where it came from. This girl made me do new things and I am up for it. Glad she took it well though, she kind of complemented me.

After sometime, Moonlight suddenly came up with a plan and after discussing everything out, I decided to go back to the museum and get the pictures that she wanted.

I got into the museum and waited for the people to clear out since I didn't want to scare them.

There were no people in the museum except for the few security guards for now and I knew I had be quick to get the pictures.

So I took the phone out planning to take the pictures. I opened the book and looked at the content for the required page number. I was going through the content when suddenly one of the security guards came and closed the book.

"These visitors are getting out of hands." He said angrily.

When he was far enough again, I quickly opened the book and went through the content once again. I managed to find the page numbers and started to click the first picture but unfortunately it made sound. I was pissed that I didn't check if the phone was in silent mode. I quickly put the phone back in the pocket and unintentionally let out a curse word as I saw the guard heading for the book again.

He had a weird and a freaked out expression on his face, even if I felt sorry for him, I couldn't help finding it funny. He studied the book carefully and closed it. He stood near the book this time and I knew I had to do something.

I searched for something which could help me drive the man away from staying near the book. I looked around and saw a statue.

I went near it and decided to make it fall so that the guard's attention would be on the statue but before that I noticed that the statue was naked. So I know I shouldn't be wasting time but I wanted to take a picture of it. It was always fun teasing Moonlight.

After taking the picture, I pushed the statue to make it fall. As soon as the statue fell, one of the guard's went, "What the hell?" and came running towards the statue along with the other guards.

I sure felt guilty but it was the only way. I ran towards the book and started taking the pictures after finding the pages. I took the pictures of the whole chapter, just in case.

I was finally done but the people were still hovered over the statue. All I could do was look helplessly in that direction as I walked towards the exit.
Mission accomplished.
