Chapter Twenty

2082 Words
Harry's perspective Mira left a few hours ago, and I haven't been doing much since then. I went to the market to get some groceries for dinner, and such. She will be home in about an hour so, and I have just barely started making the food. However, my attention moves away from the food when I hear a knock on my door. I put aside everything in my hands, and make my way to the hallway. There is another knock, and I open the door hesitantly. "Luna?" I aks confused as to why Mira's sister is at my door. It makes me wonder if Mira told her about us, and told her where I live? It is nothing wrong with that, but it just seems a bit strange. Luna's eyes are glued on me as if she can't believe I am here. "Hi, I was looking for Mira." She explains her sudden visit leaning forward to get a quick look inside to see if Mira is there. She steps back looking uncomfortable as she stands there doing nothing. Her eyes scan me from top to toe making me shift uncomfortably as well. "She isn't here right now, but she will be back in about an hour," I explain as a bad feeling rush over me from her presence, but I don't know why. It all just seems a little odd that she just all of a sudden shows up. If there was something she needed Mira for I am sure Mira would have warned me she would come over. "Is it okay if a wait here until she returns?" She asks with an innocent voice. I honestly want to decline her offer, but I don't want to come off as rude either. Her voice is filled with determination as she tips back and forth on her toes impatiently. "Yeah, of course." I smile, and open the door wider for her to walk past me, and come inside. I close the door after us before I walk into the living room with her following hot in my heels. She was moving unnecessarily close to me, but at the time I don't think much of it. "You can just wait here." I refer to the couch. She stares at my chest making me look down and suddenly realize how underdressed I am with only my pants on. "I am just going to go change." I excuse myself before heading up the stairs. I walk into my room, and as soon as I do memories of the night before rush back making a big smile form on my lips. I finally admitted to her yesterday that I am in love with her, and honestly, it made me slightly worried when she didn't say it back, but she has to do that in her own time. She will say it when she truly feels it, and I don't want her to say it for any other reason. I pull out a shirt from my dresser, but when the door to my room is slammed shut I jump back dropping it to the ground. I turn around to see who slammed the door, but I get slightly confused when Luna is standing there with a determent look on her face. She slowly moves closer making the silence in the room more intense. I try stepping backward but the wall stops me. She pins me to the wall, and I try to get her off, but she is stronger then I thought, and I don't want to hurt her. "What are you doing?" "You were mine first, she had no right to take you from me." Her voice is calm making shivers run down my spine. The seriousness on her tone makes me worried for her sanity. Her words aren't making sense, so I don't know how to reply, or what she wants. "What are you talking about?" I asked more confused than ever. I have never been hers, and no one took me away from her. She moves her hand up to my face stroking a piece of hairs away from my eyes. I flinch away not comfortable with the situation at all. "We love each other. Ever since we danced at the ball we fell in love, and it was awful of her to keep you away from me. Mira can be so selfish sometimes, but now I can take you back." Something in her eyes doesn't seem right when she speaks, she looks crazy. I quickly realize what she is talking about. All the times we have spoken she has mistaken politeness for love. "You need to stop, Luna. I am in love with Mira, not you, I am sorry." I look at her with sorry eyes not wanting to hurt her feelings. I move her out of my way and walk away from her with my front facing her in case she decides to do something. She looks at me with eyes filled with rage. She grabs a hold of my belt pulling me back to her. "If you don't sleep with me I will hand you over to the police." I look at her with wide eyes shocked that she would go all this way to have s*x with me. I would never be unfaithful to Mira, especially not with her sister, so her threats don't mean a thing. "Go ahead," I tell her calling her bluff. If I have to go to jail or sleep with Mira's sister I will choose jail any day. Nevertheless, I have run from them a thousand times before so what would make this time any different? She looks furious that I won't fall to my knees at her threat, but when a smirk appear on her lips I can feel myself grow worried. "Then I will hand you over, and say that Mira was in on it all. That she has been helping you all this time. Who do you really think they will believe anyway? It will be easy." Her voice sounds sinister as she talks. I have never understood the saying that people will do crazy things for love until now. "You wouldn't do that to your own sister." I am shocked that she would even think the thought. To betray her own blood for something as meaningless as s*x. What did she plan would happen after? I will never stay with her, so there is no point in all of this. "Oh, I would." Her smile looks almost mental as she brings her face closer to mine. "And you will do as I wish because you will never let Mira rot in a cell all alone." She says satisfied with herself. She knows she has leverage over me, and I have nothing to use in return. "You are sixteen, this isn't okay." I try to talk some sense into her while I start to walk away, but her grip in me is to tight. This isn't illegal, but I am hoping she doesn't know that. Maybe it will scare her enough to leave. "So? That means I am legal." I almost curse once I realize she knows I lied. My brain is working as hard as it can try to find a way out of this where no one gets hurt. "But it still isn't okay." I almost beg to try to make her realize how big of a mistake this is, but she has made up her mind, and I don't know if I can change it. Both her and Mira are as stubborn as a person can be, and I think it is impossible to change their minds when they are decided about something. "Fine, I guess I'll just go to the police then." She lets go of me and start walking towards the door with slow steps. She looks over her shoulder once, staring at me standing here desperately torn between choosing to break Mira's heart or to see her rot in a cell. "Wait," I speak up knowing I will regret what I am about to do. Mira's perspective "Goodbye!" I yell after Louis and Amber as I watch them walk away. "Goodbye!" They wave making a smile form on my lips as I make my way back home to Harry's house. Today has been very relaxing. The three of us have just been walking around, drinking some coffee. At one point we even went looking at all the houses that are for sale. We made up a different story for a made-up family living each one we saw. I sigh as I see the door of Harry's house. Even though it was a good day I was exhausted. I push open the door, not even bothering to knock since he knows I am coming. "Hello," I scream announcing my arrival, but I don't get an answer. I furrow my brows in confusion wondering if he forgot I was coming. I kick off my shoes before walking into the kitchen to see if he was there, and to my surprise, he isn't. He hasn't even started on dinner. "Harry?" I call out again but still get no answer. I check the living room, but he isn't there either. I hear a weak noise coming from upstairs, and figure he most likely took a nap. I rush up the stairs wanting to wake him up and tell him about my day. I walk up to the door and hear a moan from the other side of the door. It didn't sound like Harry, so that means someone else is here. I stop in my tracks, shocked, and scared. I want to open the door, but at the same time, I won't too scared of what I might find in there. I pull myself together and twist the doorknob opening the door slowly. Once it is open I can't take my eyes away from the sight. Harry is hovering over another girl in the same bed we had s*x in yesterday. I gasp gaining both of their attention. They quickly jump off the bed on opposite sides standing there in their underwear with guilty looks. I look at the girl for the first time, and my eyes widen as I realize it is Luna, my sister. How could she? How could he? Even though I am glad they still had their underwear on, I was still furious, maybe even beyond that. "I can explain," Harry says being the first one to speak up. I glare at him making him back down at once. I can't believe how stupid I was for trusting him and believing every word he said. To believe that he truly meant what he said yesterday. I ignore Harry, too hurt to even speak to him. My eyes move to Luna that suddenly doesn't look as guilty anymore. "Since you clearly knew all this time what he meant to me how could you do this to me? To your own sister?" I ask completely shocked that the thought even crossed her mind. "How could I? You were the one who stole him from me. I had him first!" She screams stumping her feet like a child. "He isn't an object for any of us to have!" I scream back making her look down to the ground. I have always been there for her and supported her about everything, and this is how she repays me? "You're just mad you weren't good enough for him." She says with spite in her voice. Hurt wash over me as I realize that it isn't the reason I am mad, but it is true. "That isn't true, Mira. You are more than enough." Harry speaks up trying to move closer to me but stops once he sees me step back. I look at Luna with nothing but hate at the moment. "We may be blood, but we are no longer sisters." I don't even bother to look at her reaction as I storm out of the room, and rush down the stairs. I can hear Harry quickly pull on his clothes as footsteps start to follow me. A hand grips hold of my arm trying to stop me, but I tear my arm away and run out the door. I can hear Harry still following me as he closes the door behind him. "Wait!" He begs, and I stop with a sigh before turning around to see Harry with glossy eyes.
