A/N: Be proud of me! I actually did my homework before I wrote this :D Yes, go Kennedy! And that means jblc77 can't yell at me because I actually took the books out of my bag. I didn't open them, but they were out!

Thank you for the *few* reviews I did get ;) Love you guys.

Jake's Point of View

As I drove Luna to the Cullen home, I took in her appearance. I had no idea when I would next see her and I wanted to at least remember why she left. She looked a little better than she had the night of the meeting. Her hair was cleaner and brushed. Her eyes and face was still hard, but she looked a little more human than she did. She looked thinner than usual and her face held years that were beyond her.

I tried to talk to her, but she had become monosyllabic over the past few days. Giving up, I turned the music a little louder, hoping that the beats would bring some comfort.

No more gas, in the red, can't even get it started
Nothing heard, nothing said, can't even speak about it
On my life, on my head, don't wanna think about it
Feels like I'm going insane, yeah

It's a thief in the night to come and grab you
It can creep up inside you and consume you
A disease of the mind, it can control you
It's too close for comfort

Put on your pretty lies, you're in the city of wonder
Ain't gonna play nice, watch out you might just go under
Better think twice, your train of thought will be altered
So if you must falter be wise

Your mind's in disturbia, it's like the darkness is light
Disturbia, am I scaring you tonight?
Disturbia, ain't used to what you like
Disturbia, disturbia

"Jake." Luna said, her voice horse. "Please change the song."

It was a shock to hear her speak more than one word so I followed her instructions without question. I looked over at her once I had finished. Her head was on the window, leaning back with her eyes closed. I could see the tears glisten on her cheeks. I looked back to the road, no longer listening to the music.

I needed to find a way to make Luna whole again.

Edward's Point of View

I watched as Jacob's 1986 Black Volkswagen Rabbit approached the house. Luna was in the front, next to Jake. Her eyes and mind still held a dark distance. The mood seemed to spread, affecting Jacob and the pack like a cancer that was growing in Luna's mind.

Jake got out of the car and walked around to Luna's side. When he opened the door, Luna looked up at him with confusion in her eyes. Before Nate had come to La Push, Luna would have been thinking about kissing Jake every time he went close to her. Now, she seemed to want to cry or scream. Everything that anyone did seemed to hurt her.

I walked over as Jake tried to get her out of the car. I opened the back door and picked up Luna's stuff. She had one backpack and her guitar, but I was willing to bet that Alice would have a whole new wardrobe for her by the end of her stay.

I walked back to the house, trying to keep my speed at Luna's sluggish pace. She dragged her feet and her eyes were down cast, as if she was looking for something on the ground. I could hear the pain echo through her body, but she tired not to think as we got to the stairs. I watched as Jake let her go, sadness and pain in his eyes.

Luna didn't even look back as she entered my house.

"Here you go, dear." Esme said, a bright smile on her face.

She placed a huge plate of pasta in front of the wolf girl. Luna just looked up as if she didn't know what to do with the food.

"Thanks." She said, picking up the fork.

I watched as she pushed the food around the plate. Luna had no interest in eating any of it, but she didn't want to let Esme down.

"Luna." I said. "If you're not hungry right now, we'll just put it in the fridge for later."

She nodded slowly, so I took away the plate.

"You must be tired." Esme said. "Edward, please take her to her room."

Luna looked at me. There was no need for you to make a room for me...

"It's fine, Luna." I replied. "We were happy to do it."

She nodded and walked slowly behind me, her eyes glued to the floor. We arrived at her room and she nodded.

"It's nice." Luna said.

The carpets were dark brown in colour. There was a large wardrobe built into one of the walls. Against the opposite side wall was a double bed covered in white and cream coloured sheets. The window took up the whole of the back wall. Mostly the room was empty, and the only other objects in the room was a wooden table and Luna's stuff.

"If you need a shower..." I said.

"I'll be fine." She snapped.

She turned away, not wanting anything but sleep.

I touched her shoulder. "Go to sleep. You'll feel better once you have rested."

It was still early. Bella had come over and was watching a movie with me and my family. Everything seemed peaceful until we heard screaming come from Luna's room. Moving Bella off my lap, I rushed up stairs. Emmett, Jasper and Carlisle were behind me.

"Luna!" I cried, flinging the door open.

She was still asleep, thrashing around. The covers were twisted around her body, closing over her throat. I rushed over and untangled her, the cool touch of my hands waking her up.

"Edward!" She sobbed, grabbing me.

I held the sobbing teenager to my chest. In her mind I could see the violent images of her nightmares.

"It's okay." I said, rocking her slowly. "It's okay."

Her sobbing stopped, but I could still feel her body shake underneath me.

"Is she alright?" Carlisle asked me.

"She's fine." I replied. "A little shocked, but she's fine."

Emmett came over and touched Luna's hair. Jasper sent out calming waves and soon Luna drifted back off to sleep.

"I'll stay here." Jasper said quietly. "I'll try to help her sleep peacefully."

We nodded, leaving Jasper alone with the wolf girl.

Alice suddenly looked up from the book she was reading. She was having a vision.

"Thunderstorm tomorrow." She said. "I'm thinking baseball?"

"Hell yeah!" Emmett said, "Let's get Luna to play. It could be good for her."

"Bella wants to come along as well." Alice said. "It should be fun."

I nodded and turned to the window of the lounge. The sun was rising and Luna had slept without screaming. The rain still poured down, but the sound was relaxing.

"I'm off to see Bella." I said. "I'll be home later.

Jasper's Point of View

We we all in the clearing just as the sound of thunder rolled over Forks.

"I want Luna!" Emmett said, watching Carlisle mark out bases.

"Carlisle!" I replied.

"Edward."

"Rosie."

"Alice."

"Esme!"

With the teams decided I walked over to Luna. She was sitting alone on some rocks. Her eyes were glued to the floor.

"Hey." I said. "You're on Emmett's team."

She nodded, her face hidden by her shoulder length hair and her cap. She wore tight fitted leggings and a black tank top. I passed a soft ball to her and she caught it. Slowly, she stood up and walked to the pitchers mound. My family stopped what they were doing to watch Luna turn the ball over in her hands. Her head was down again, so none of us could see her face.

"Come on, Lu." Emmett said, taking a base. "Show us what you can do!"

Her fingers had found a spot of mud on the white ball, and she slowly cleaned it off with her fingers. Tossing the ball into the air above her head, I watched her lift her face and catch the ball. There was a hint of a smile as she pulled off her cap.

Rosalie was at the batters mound, taking her position. Luna threw the ball and Rosie hit it. Luna laughed slightly as we raced around, Rosalie to the next base and Emmett trying to catch the ball.

Soon it was Luna's turn to field and she ran around like a loyal dog playing fetch. In a matter of moments she had gone from looking old, to being a young and vibrant child playing a children's game. She ran after the white ball, scooping it up from the grass without stopping. Her movements were fluid and simple, as if it was all coming back to her.

"Edward!" She called, tossing the ball at him.

With this change in attitude, the game became more fun for everyone. Luna laughed often and a smile seemed to have found it's way onto her face. For a few hours, she did not carry the burdens of her life.
