"This place is so boring, I don't know how you manage," Sam said sarcastically.
"Why did you heal me?" Luna asked
"Its not like I had a choice, so don't flatter yourself," Sam said harshly. Luna's smile turned to a frown.
"I'm going back to sleep," Luna said, pulling the covers over her shoulders and winced in pain. Sam tried to help her, with a look of concern on his face.
"I'm fine, just let me sleep," Luna said, still pissed at him. Sam sat back down.
"You'll spoil your appetite, I mean, you haven't eaten since that Betrayal bashed your head against the wall," Sam said, pointing at the huge dent in the wall.
"What did Ryan say to you before he left?" Luna asked, positioning herself so that she was facing Sam. Sam stared at her and replied.
"It's none of your damn business."
"Fine, dick," Luna said. All of a sudden, her back was against the wall and Sam's hands were at her throat. Luna gasping for air, struggled to remove Sam's hands. Sam's grip was firm and strong, and he wasn't letting go. Her concussion came back in a snap as she fell to the floor. Luna screamed in pain, tears streamed down her face. Sam looked down in shock, realizing that he had done this to her. He went to pick Luna up, but she stopped him. Luna wobbled and made her way back to the bed. She collapsed and curled up in a ball.
"Look, I'm sorry, I just… at least let me heal you," Sam said apologetic. Luna glared at him, as concern and fear flooded his face.
"You've done enough," Luna said, as she slept with her eyes wet with tears.
Luna tossed and turned until she awoke again. There, Faith and Ryan stood, but not Sam. Ryan hugged her when she woke up and Faith was crying.
"Luna, I'm so sorry. I never should've left you with Sam," Ryan said. A look of regret could be seen in his eyes.
"Where's Sam?" Luna asked, wearily.
"Waiting outside, he figured that you didn't want to see him," Faith said, wiping a tear from her eye.
"Bring him in, I want to talk with him. Alone," Luna said. Ryan looked at her. He was very worried Sam would snap again. "It's okay, if I need you guys, I will holler for you." Ryan nodded and opened the door. There, stood Sam. He was shocked that the door had opened, and when Ryan had told him Luna wanted to see him, he was shocked. Faith carefully shut the door, leaving Ryan and me alone, again. Sam carefully walked toward Luna, when she stopped him.
"That's close enough," Luna said, putting her hand up. Sam halted to a stop.
"Look, Luna, I'm sorry… I was just… words can't express how sorry I am," Sam said, sorrowfully. Luna just stared at him with a blank expression. Sam walked a bit closer to her and she flinched. He took a step back and she relaxed.
"Are you going to tell me what Ryan told you, or are you going to suffocate me again," Luna asked, with a serious look on her face. Sam hesitated, but gave in.
"Alright, fine. He said not to do anything stupid, because I'm so reckless. I have a short temper in case you haven't noticed," Sam smirked.
"That was it?" Luna asked. Ryan refused to make eye contact, but nodded. He felt bad about lying to her, but it was for her own good. Luna placed her hand where Sam had left an ugly bruise right below her chin and at the middle of her throat. Luna stood up and swayed a bit. She was about to collapse when Sam ran over to help her. Using her natural instinct, she flinched and tensed. Ashamed that Sam knew all Luna thought of him, was his short temper and for almost suffocating her. Sam ever so gently, helped her stand up. When she did, Sam was still holding on to her waist, finally having both her feet on the ground. She stared into Sam's eyes and got lost in them. He stared back, and leaned in to kiss her. Luna moved her head, so he didn't get a chance to.
"Could you… tell Ryan and Faith to come back now?" Luna pleaded. Sam nodded his head, reassuring that Luna could stand up on her own. Reluctantly, she stood up on her own, smiling like it was her first time walking in ages. The door swung open and Ryan ran in and hugged her. Faith pushed past Sam and went in to pour Luna a cup of coffee. As Luna hugged Ryan, she looked over at Sam. He looked back, then turned around and left without a word being spoken.
