Broken Luna

Chapter 4

Summer's pov

Two years later

We are graduating next week I can't believe we are done with school, I was the school's valedictorian and I was supposed to give a speech and everything. At first I was excited about college but my aunt said she was not going to pay for it and had messed with any chance I had getting a scholarship but Henry had promised me he was going to pay for it. We were going to to skip town on the day of graduation just as soon as I finish my speech we would disappear. I would leave home with my bag and keep it in Henry's car not that I have much to carry. Henry and I had meet at school, he is June's cousin he had come to pick June up and she introduced us but it looked like she was not happy with Henry picking her up. After that he had waited for me everyday along the road I used to go home from school, at first I was shy of him but I soon got used to him and we became close and started dating. I had not told June that I was dating her cousin because I had a feeling she didn't like him, she found out six months into the relationship and just as I guessed she was not happy.

Flashback

June had just found out I was in a relationship with her cousin and we had been dating for six months, and she was mad

“I remember telling you to stay away from Henry I have nothing against you but he is a bad guy Summer. "it looked like she wanted to cry

“he is nice to me he might have been bad before but I think he's changed because he's treated me well" I explained

“there is a kind of bad that can't be changed the kind that is rotten to the coal and that's Henry. "she was waving her hands as she said this

“he's a nice guy he even said he was going to pay for my college and he is willing to run with me as soon as I finish school." I said

“I can pay for your college and I would even pay for your boarding there and with how smart you are, you don't need anyone paying your fees you can get a scholarship. I will pay for whatever else please just stay away from Henry." she was sad by now

“I know all this you have offered before but I love Henry and he's good to me I don't think he will ever treat me bad, you are my friend please support me on this." I tried to explain

“I'm sorry I can't support you on this "she said walking away

End of flashback

Since then my relationship with June has been a little strained, we hardly talk and it seems like she is avoiding me. Henry had said I must leave her she will come around and I had done that but it made things worse. I wish to talk to her at least say bye before I leave, she has been my only friend, the only one who had my back, surely l can at least say goodbye . I was going to have tell her without Henry knowing because recently he has turned to this other person I do not know when he gets angry but other than that he was a good person, he is a good person right? But that didn't really matter what matters is I love him and he loves me and we would make this work. I just pray that my aunt doesn't get to find out about me running away, you would think it made a difference that according to the law I am now an adult and I could do what I wanted but no I was not allowed to leave.

“don't be an ungrateful person and leave us with no help now that you are done with school, I took you in when your mother passed away the little you could do is stay here and help out "my aunt had said a couple of days ago

After all they had put me through they wanted me to stay with them, I was their servant I cooked and cleaned, besides paying for my fees they did nothing I barely got food to eat and I wore clothes from the nearby cherity that gave out clothes for free once a year for Christmas and you rarely get new clothes there, they where mostly clothes people didn't want and the charity place could not sell them. At times they would give me nice clothes only because I think the lady there felt sorry for me and now my aunt thinks I owe them something I can't believe this.
