Previously, Luna was beaten by Brittany but saved by Lucien. Luna confesses to Damien that's she's in love with Lucien and Lucien overhears her saying he feels the same for Luna. Let's see how it turns out. Enjoy.


Chapter 9 – A Chance

Lucien's POV

I feel like wanting to beat myself up for what happened to Luna. Because of what happened, Luna is now lying bed with bruises, even though she still looks beautiful, and a concussion. I feel as if it was my fault even though I got her out of the closet with help. I just stood and watch with Luna's mother Maureen by my side as Luna was being examined by Damien's father Calvin. I was relieved that there was nothing major with Luna but she has to stay here at the hospital until tomorrow afternoon. Then Calvin told Maureen that she has to take someone's shift but she has to pick up Luna's sister Korrina from school. Since I have my license on my sixth birthday (even though mom worries about me driving, a mother thing) and I have a car, I offered to pick up Korrina for Maureen. She agreed and gave me a note so the school faculty knows. I told Luna I'd be back and left her room walking out of the hospital until I arrived at the parking lot towards my blue Chevrolet Malibu. Funny thing is I'm pretty sure Alice saw that and drove it here for me. I guess there are some good things having a psychic for a great-aunt.

About ten minutes later in my speed, I arrived at this school Saint West Elementary and went to the parent pickup area as students were waiting for their parents to take them home. I went up to this faculty giving her the note Maureen signed and she nodded her head in approval and called her.

A little girl with long dark red brown hair holding a stuff grey wolf came over to us. She looked at me, then at the faculty and then back at me in curiosity.

"Hello, you must be Korrina." I said to her.

"Who are you?" She asked.

"I'm Lucien; I'm a friend of your sister Luna. Your mother gave me permission to pick you up since she got called in at work for an emergency and Luna is in the hospital as well, in bed." I explained.

"Is she okay?" Korrina asked worriedly.

"She's alright thanks to my uncle. So… are you ready to go?" I asked.

Korrina smiled big as she said, "Okay!" Okay, that was odd but alright then. I thanked the faculty and led Korrina to my car opening the door for her to sit in the back seat.

"If you don't mind, I wanna make a quick stop to buy something for your sister." I said as I got into my driver's seat and turned on the car causing the engine to let out a soft purr. Korrina gave the okay and she pulled out a notepad and color pencils and started drawing something and I'm taking a wild guess what it is.

I arrived at the floral shop and looked for the kind of roses to get for Luna. That's when I decided to buy a bouquet of violet ones. After I paid for it, I returned to my car to see that my guess was correct seeing Korrina finish her drawing of her card for Luna wishing her to get well in colors with fairies, princesses, wolves and other of those mythical creatures. Damn, for someone so young, this girl is quite an artist. I'm sure she and Krystal would get along well.

We arrived at the hospital and Korrina and I started heading our way to Luna's room with me holding the roses and Korrina having her backpack on and card in one hand. With each step towards our destination, my thoughts were back on to what happened to Luna. Brittany beat her up and from I can tell it's because I'm starting to have feelings for Luna and Brittany blamed it on her and you saw the results. It's happening all over again. Bad things happen to the people I care about. I'm like a magnet for bad luck to people. A girl like Luna shouldn't be with a guy like me. If she likes me that is.

"You like him don't you?" I stopped just as I arrived at Luna's door when I heard Damien's voice. I forgot he comes here after school so that he and Calvin can go home together. Korrina did the same looking like she loves to eavesdrop. I was about to tell her off but then I heard Luna speak.

"I do. Actually, I'm… falling for Lucien."

I nearly exploded with happiness. My heart somehow did a back flip. She likes me? No, she doesn't like me, she's… in love with me. I can't believe it; Luna Snow, the most beautiful human girl I have ever met is in love with me? But how could she? She's only known me for two days now. Well at least I know now that she likes me as well.

"But," Damien said. Wait, but?

"He doesn't like me. It doesn't make sense for him to feel what I feel." Luna said sadly. What?! Luna doesn't think I like her? What the hell gave her that idea?

"You sure? Because I've known Lucien long enough and I have never seen him at all like this since you arrive. It must mean something." Damien said. Whoa, I didn't know Damien notices the patterns on me. And I thought humans wouldn't catch on.

"Maybe he's only talking to me out of pity." Luna said.

"What if you're wrong?" I said causing Luna to gasp as I showed myself to Damien and Luna.

"What if I have feelings for you?" I asked anxiously directly to Luna.

Luna's POV

I froze at Lucien's question to me. Did he just tell me that he likes me as well?

"Luna!" I looked to see my sister coming in running to me reaching out for a hug.

"Hey," I said hugging her.

"Look Luna," Korrina held out what appears to be a handmade card by her with the words "Get well" in color and lots of mythical creatures on it. "I made this for you."

"Wow Korrina, it looks amazing. Thanks." I said smiling as I accepted her card. My little sister sure knows how to draw so well.

"Well, I think you guys need some privacy. I'm gonna go grab a snack in the lobby." Damien said and left the room.

"Um, I got these for you." Lucien said as he walked over to me and gave me the bouquet of roses.

"Wow, thank you Lucien. They're beautiful." I said taking the roses.

"I'm glad you like 'em." Lucien smiled.

"So… how much did you hear?" I asked causing Lucien to be embarrassed.

"The part where Damien asked if you like me. Sorry about that." Lucien apologized. "So… how do you feel about me?" Oh my gosh, this is so embarrassing. I'm not sure I should be looking at him. I did though trying to hide my blush as my hair covered half my face.

"Um, I um… I… I really… I really… like you." I said as I slowly turned my head facing Lucien afraid to see his reaction. That's when I felt a gently pull as a hand removed my hair to show my face to see Lucien giving me a smile.

"Luna, you don't have to feel embarrass about it, because I really like you too, a lot." He said causing my heart to nearly pop out of my chest. This can't be real.

"But why? Surely you would want to date someone who is just as pretty as Brittany. Not that I want you to date her. I'm just plain to you." I said.

"Clearly you don't see yourself from what others at school see in you. You are the most beautiful girl I have ever met and I feel so… drawn to you. Everything I see in you makes me fall in love; your beauty, your hair, your voice, that blush, your hobbies and those eyes, that's the one feature I really like about you the most Luna." Lucien said causing me to feel like I just melted into puddle. No guy has ever said those things about me that way.

"I know you find it hard to believe Luna and I can understand that but I do like you and I really want us to be more than friends, if you want." Lucien said.

Do I want this? Lucien is so nice to me; he's sweet, beautiful, smart, and caring, a charmer, kind and such a good person. He's been there for me even though I don't deserve it and it's like he's known me forever. I do want this so much but the possibilities of me getting hurt is fifty-fifty. But if Lucien really feels the same way I do then I should take this chance and give it a try.

"Lucien, I really like you as well and I would like for us to be more than friends." I said taking his hand with a smile. That caused Lucien to smile big. There was a knock on the door and we turned to see man wearing a lab coat. I was amazed at this man; he has blonde hair and pale skin adding that he's incredibly beautiful posing as movie star like Krystal or a model like Lucas.

"Hello Luna, glad to see that you're okay." He smiled as he came in. "I'm Dr. Cullen but you can call me Carlisle. And I see you met my nephew Lucien."

"Um yeah." I said.

"I've just received report from Dr. Grant of your examination and I just came in to check in on that." Carlisle said looking at the notes. "There's nothing seriously wrong with you but I suggest you take it easy after you're free to go tomorrow."

"Okay Carlisle." I said.

"I'll call the nurse to make you something to eat and I'll be checking in on you later. Lucien, I think you should head on home now." Carlisle said to Lucien.

"Carlisle, I'm okay staying here, really." Lucien said. Carlisle then placed his hand on Lucien's shoulder and gave him a look raising an eyebrow. That caused Lucien to sigh. I guess he read Carlisle's expression. "Fine." He said.

"Well, bye Lucien." I said feeling a bit sad to see him leave.

"I'll visit you tomorrow after school Luna, I promise." Lucien said as he went over to stroke my cheek with his hand. That caused my heart racing thus causing my heart monitor to go beeping like crazy. That was so embarrassing. Can't hide from that.

Lucien smiled and chuckled. "Nice to know I have that affect on you." Very embarrassing. "Bye Luna." Lucien was just about to leave until Carlisle stopped him placing his hand on Lucien's shoulders again this time with a smile. Lucien nodded and left the room. Carlisle checked on the equipment to be sure they're working and on the IV attached to me before he left leaving me alone.

Wait, scratch that. I turned my head when Korrina was giggling in her seat. I forgot she is here.

"What's so funny?" I asked causing Korrina to smile big.

"Lucien and Luna, sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g!" She sang causing me to turn very red adding the heart monitor going crazy as I covered my face with the sheets.


Lucien's POV

This must have been the best thing that has ever happened to me. I've never felt so… happy in all my life. Well I was happy before… six years ago but I really don't wanna talk about that. It's just too much for me. Still has.

Anyway, Luna says she likes me as I do to her and she wants to give us a try. Could this really be happening to me? Everyone in my family believes so when they heard about what happened between me and her no thanks to Evan and Edward. Why can't my shield work all the time like mom and Bella's shield? I'd like some privacy once in a while. Krystal seems to agree with me on that. Emmett sympathizes me since he knows how I feel, stating we have now two annoying mind readers to deal with. Mostly he would think about… 'things' just to annoy the hell out of Evan that I don't wanna know what it is but it is funny to watch on Evan's reaction.

Wait, why am I talking about messing with mind readers? Never mind.

So since Luna and I confess our feelings to each other, well, I guess you would call us boyfriend and girlfriend except one problem, we haven't gone out on a date yet. And we can't do that now since Luna's in the hospital but that's okay, I got time.

Thursday after school, I arrived at the hospital where Luna gets to go home which I am giving her a ride, while Maureen is still working.

"Wow, this is your car?" Luna asked seeing my car as we got out of the hospital.

"Yeah, I got it right after I got my license." I said as I opened the door for her to get in before getting into mine. "How do you feel?" I asked as I started the engine and drove off into the road.

"I'm just glad to be out of it. Not that I hate hospitals but sleeping and eating there sucks." Luna said.

"Yeah it does. If Emmett was in there and Carlisle was never a doctor, I'm sure the entire staff would quit." I said causing us both to laugh.

"So what happened at school today?" Luna asked.

"Nothing really; I got some of the work you missed from your classes. Then everyone was talking about where you were since you were absent until they heard about you and Brittany." I explained. "Don't worry; we told the principal your story and he got Brittany and her friends suspended for a week."

"Well that's good to know. She deserves it." Luna said. I nodded my head in agreement as I turned on the radio.

"I love Martin Garrix!" Luna said. Whoa, she recognized it quickly by two seconds of the song?

"Yeah," I smiled. "This song gets me." I said as the song plays.

If I told you this was only gonna hurt
If I warned you that the fire's gonna burn
Would you walk in?
Would you let me do it first?
Do it all in the name of love
Would you let me lead you even when you're blind?
In the darkness, in the middle of the night
In the silence, when there's no one by your side
Would you call in the name of love?

In the name of love, name of love
In the name of love, name of love

In the name of, in the name, name
In the name, name

We let the song play as Luna and I continued talking until we arrived at Luna's house.

"This is your stop." I said as I pulled over on her driveway.

"Thanks for the ride Lucien." Luna said.

"No problem," I said as I gave her the assignments she has to make up. *Sigh* Must this end today? Well, I can't stay with her all the time. "I guess I'll see you Monday."

"You're not coming to school tomorrow?" Luna asked.

"No, tomorrow's gonna be sunny and my family and I are planning on an early weekend going hiking. Some of us need some vitamin D along with their skin." I said. Not to mention that since vampires sparkles in the sunlight while those like my mom and me only glows we don't want to risk exposure.

"Oh, okay. Well, have fun." Luna said halfheartedly. I could hear the hint of disappointment. Trust me, I am too.

"If it's not too much, can I have your number?" I asked Luna. That caused her to light up a bit.

"S-Sure." She said and we quickly exchanged phone numbers.

"I'll text you when I have a chance over the weekend." I said taking her hand. God, I wanna hold this hand forever. It feels so soft and warm. Regrettably, I had to let go. "Have a good weekend Luna."

"You too." Luna said as she got out of my car and walked towards her front door until she turned waving to me with a small smile as I waved back returning one to her before I pulled out of her driveway and headed home.

I said it before and I'll say it again; this has been the best thing that has ever happened to me.


Are you guys happy for Luna and Lucien? You think this is over? *Buzzer sound* Wrong! There's still more things happening and mysteries to uncover. Please review.
