I walked along the empty sidewalk, still contemplating my dream that I had had the night before. It was cold,being late leaves were beautiful golds,reds, and oranges. I sighed. Everything was so beautiful,so I should have been happy. But I wasn't. A couple months before, I had found my boyfriend of three years with an unknown woman, in my bed. Since then I had been a wreck. Sticking mostly to taking pills and making sure I made a regular stop at the local bar every night to drink until I forgot my name. I wanted to block everything out. The problem was though,that no matter what you use to empty yourself of feeling,it always wears off. So you keep coming back to it. Over and over again. And that's when the addiction sets in. I knew that I had a problem, but I didn't really care all that much. I figured all that I had had to live for was already gone,so what was the point? Not like anybody was gonna show up and prove me wrong anyway..
Just then, my thoughts were interupted by me crashing into someone in front of me. I stumbled backwards and caught myself. "God,Im sorry!" I said,my eyes slowly moving up the mans legs, to his chest and finally to his face. He looked a bit shaken,but was smiling lightly. "It's fine. Got a lot on your mind?" he asked,laughing slightly. I nodded, and laughed shakily. He was gorgeous. He had straight,messy cherry red hair,and warm hazel eyes. "Well you should be more careful! You could get hurt sometime. Im Gerard." "Luna." I said,holding out my hand. As we shook hands,I couldn't help but notice the tingling feeling in my hand. "So what were you doing out here walking? You know it can be a little dangerous for a girl like you to be wondering around by herself." he said,with a sexy grin on his face. " Maybe I like danger." Whoah,what? Did I actually just flirt with him? He curled an eyebrow at what I said. "Oh really?" he said,suprise lacing his features. "Definitely." " Well, since you seem to be up for anything,how about coming to see my band play tonight?" he asked, smiling proudly. "You have a band?" I asked,feeling as if I'd hit the jackpot. "Yep." he said,like it was no big deal. "Sure. What time?" "Seven. Right there is where we'll be playing." he said,pointing to the only building in town that was used for entertainment. "Sweet. I'll see you tonight then." I said,smiling at him. "See ya." he said,smiling back. Why did I suddenly get the feeling that things were about to change?
