Chapter 7.
Luna Maxwell
I didn't fall asleep that night at all, I was up all night crying on Alexander's sofa, he was sitting in the kitchen doorframe listening to me sobbing, not caring, it seemed.
Once morning approached I was allowed to go home, I did and my parents asked why my eyes were so red. "I was driving for awhile last night …" I told them and went into my room and buried my head under my pillow. Raven called me, I tried to ignore her but she just kept calling me. "Hello?" I croaked I was dried out of tears and now my eyes just burned.
"Listen, I talked to Alexander … I think he might be right about Claude …"
"If you're just going to tell me about how I can't see him anymore I'm going to hang up on you, I know I can't see him and it makes me feel just terrible … He's my best friend …."
"Are you sure … it isn't more?" Raven whispered I paused thinking hard about this then shaking the thought from my mind. "Skye?"
"No, it's nothing like that."
"If you tell me right now that you love him then I know that Alexander is doing the wrong thing."
"I do love him." I stated, "I love him like a brother to me."
"Not like that, Skye."
"If I was in love with Claude then I would have known what it was by now."
"I don't know Skye … I think you're scared of the feeling … scared to fall in love." I blinked then replied,
"Why would I be scared to fall in love? It's what I've looked forward to my whole life."
"Because … You are the Skye, expanding and free and you don't want to be contained to just the Earth, you need the entire Solar system."
"What?" Raven groaned aloud.
"You're afraid of being tied down … you don't want to be on a leash you need the whole park." I bit my lower lip that was true, which was why I didn't like being contained by Alexander.
"I don't like him like that Raven … please, I can't handle being away from him! Not again and you should know this after you had to be at a loss for Alexander so many times." She was silent on the other end of the phone, I heard mumbling then … She was back.
"Alright, Alexander is allowing you to see him but he doesn't wanting you getting too close to him."
"Tell him I said too late." I hung up the phone as I pressed it against my chest a smile forming across my face.
"You're very lucky that Raven was there to convince her prince that he was doing the wrong thing, I believe that Alexander is getting a bit up-tight as well." I jumped up looking at Jagger sitting with his back to my dresser casting no reflection.
"How did you get in here?"
"I have my ways, poor dear … you've been crying for you poor Claude haven't you?" He stood up and made his way across my room to me, I leaned back on my bed propping my torso up with my arms behind my back,
"You had better be careful though … my sister is coming here soon … I'd hate for you to get in her path of destruction."
"Sister … what?"
"My sister Luna, she has this … thing for Alexander, I've told her about you and not only does she want to meet you … she has taken a liking to this Claude."
"She can go for him I don't care."
"Don't you?" I shook my head when Jagger placed his legs on either side of my hips cupping my face in his hands. "Well then, if you don't want Claude then try for me at least."
"No, I refuse, I don't love you."
"You don't love Claude either."
"What does that have to do with anything?"
"You're trying for him, aren't you?" Jagger pecked me on the lips then disappeared, it was a love triangle! I didn't love anyone, Luna loved Claude, Jagger lusts for me, and Claude … wants me for some strange reason.

I giggled as I walked out of school for Summer break with Becky beside me, Raven raced up to me calling my name. "Did you hear? Did you?"
"Hear what?" I laughed, she had a look of terror about her.
"Luna is in town." Becky groaned,
"I wonder how she'll use Trevor this time …" I arched my eyebrow.
"Yeah, I got a heads-up from Jagger that his sister would be arriving here, she said she wanted to meet me and I think she has a crush on Claude …" I mused aloud, Raven gawked.
"You're just going to let her use Claude?"
"Why Claude goes out with is none of my business, besides once he sees this Luna, then I think that he'll stop thinking about me completely, and that's good because Claude could do so much better than me." Becky and Raven slapped both my shoulders.
"You were made for each other!" Becky shouted at me her eyes sparkling. "I don't see why he doesn't ask you out, or why you can't see that you really like him!"
"I'm with Becky on this; I can't help feeling in love when you two are both in the room together."
"I don't think Alexander would agree much on our getting-together would he?" Raven grumbled to herself and crossed her arms over her chest.

I waited for Claude as I watched two geese touching heads in the lake under a half-moon; I couldn't help but sigh with a smile across my face. "What are you so touched about?" I looked back and saw Claude standing there.
"Just … How come the birds can register love easier than I can?" Claude sat down beside me with his arms around my shoulders. "That's not fair … stupid birds."
"Don't get angry with the birds Skye …" Claude chuckled pressing his lips against my hair, I pulled my head back.
"Well what about you?" I pressed the tips of my index finger together with a sheepish grin on my face.
"What about me?" Claude asked suspiciously.
"Uhm … have you fallen in love?"
"What are you getting at here?"
"N-nothing! I just wanted to know I mean Luna is coming to town …"
"What?" Claude placed his face in his palms. "Oh no … she's only hitting on me because I'm just about the only one that looks close enough to Alexander! Ugh … Damn it!"
"I hear that she's very pretty." I smiled tapping my elbow on Claude's side, he looked down at me. "A real looker, so maybe … uhm … you could hook up with her?" Claude grabbed my chin and made me look into his straight-face.
"Skye, no, I don't like her and I won't like her, she couldn't be nearly as beautiful as you … and I've seen her already."
"But Claude!" He shook his head and pressed a finger to my lips a smile across his face, I just looked into his eyes mine must've been as big as two full-moon's.
"No if, and, or butts …" He purred. "I can't help if I can't change my heart."
"I wish I could just make my heart's mind up already …" I wined placing my head in my arms.
"Didn't you mom say you can't date until you're out f high school?"
"She changed that whenever she thought I was going to go to my dance with Trevor."
"How was that dance? Sorry I didn't get to go."
"It was postponed … the artist was having trouble, we had it … I think a week before today instead … and from what I hear Trevor was a hit."
"You didn't go?"
"No way … not unless my friends are going."
"Raven didn't go?"
"She had a prior engagement with Alexander." I stated and laid my back down in the grass staring at the half-moon, a smile across my face.
"Skye, would you still walk away if I kissed you?"
"What?" I giggled turning on my side and looking at Claude who was looking right back down at me. "I think I wouldn't now … consider how many times you've already kissed me, would it really matter anymore?"
"What if I asked you … to … to …" He was stumbling over his words … was this what Becky and Raven were talking about? Claude liked me? I felt a drop of rain on my hand then looked up. "Uhm … I have to tell -."
"It's raining…" I mused propping up my torso with my arms and closing my eyes as it then began to pour, it was my favorite kind of rain, where it was nice and warm. I opened my eyes as Claude started to lean towards me. Giggling I got up and raced through the grass. "I'm not letting you off that easy this time! Since we aren't going out you can't kiss me unless you catch me."
"I don't see anything wrong with that." Claude chuckled and race after me; he slipped and fell many times making me laugh so hard I thought my gut was going to explode in my hips! Finally he grabbed my arm and pulled me back to him, placing his palm on my cheek a grin on his face. "Time for you to pay up,"
"Indeed." I looked over and saw a girl, her hair was white and dripping wet, she wore a dark black dress, her nails were painted black, her shoes a nice black converse, and her eyes were the exact same color as Jagger's blue eye.
"Luna." Claude grumbled holding my head against his chest. "What do you want?"
"What do you think I want Claude?" Luna grinned, "And here I thought Jagger told me that you weren't interested in Claude."
"I – I -!"
"Luna leave her alone." Claude snapped.
"For now I suppose, but I can tell you now, I won't make it easy for her … I put up a mean fight."
"What fight?" Claude growled. "I've already chosen."
