Chasing His Rejected Luna 181
JADEThe newest discovery I have made is you can have a honeymoon phase inside a honeymoon phase. Or maybe, it is just when you finally learn how to be happy and accept positivity in your life that everything gets better.Whatever it may be, I’m feeling it tenfold right now. This past week. Maybe almost an entire month and there is nothing I would do to change any of it.I have never let myself e this happy. There were not enough resources, or at least I told myself that. Whenever, which was very rare, Atlas does something nice for me. I barely even let myself revel in it for more than a few minutes. I’ll be too busy worried and thinking about how he never does that and he’ll never do it again.Being happy is foreign to me. This stress free too. There is a new feeling I’m starting to get used to, and it is hard but I’m doing my best to not let my mind cloud it over with worries of the future. I’m leaning to just live in the present.The present where I wake up and Antonio is here with

JADE Ray left, after she was sure she has fully traumatised me. I spent that time reading the book on the wolf nomads while I had my breakfast. Occasionally checking my phone to see if Antonio has messaged me. I always feel a tinge of disappointment when I receive nothing. Or if I check and see that it is just a notification for something else. I didn’t hear from him until much later in the day. And even then, it was a text saying he was still really busy with the closed door meeting. He was able to send that message because of a break. I don’t know what is going on but apparently dad was gone too. And I’m guessing they are together. I hoped everything was fine as I returned to my book. Another ping from my phone makes me rush to grab it. I didn’t even pause to put a bookmark where I stopped, making me lose my page. Not that I cared, thinking it’ll be worth it if it was Antonio. I sighed in disappointment and a little annoyance when I saw it was just Jaiya asking if I wanted to com

ATLASMy plan to get Jade has to come sooner than planned. That was the thing that kept running through my mind the linger this damned meeting took.Andrew kept shooting me worried glances. He didn’t have to say the words because I could clearly read then in his eyes. If all the other people in the room couldn’t tell. He knew me well enough to know my mind wasn’t in it. And I should be listening. Damn it.“The sixth circle have been known to do things like this.” One of our ambassadors that stayed there said.His name is Jamie, or Taylor, I’m not sure what he said because I wasn’t paying attention to anything going on. I just knew that he was giving us a lot of bad news and that was pissing me off.I didn’t want to deal with that. Not right now when I had already set my mind on doing something else.“But what exactly is their gain in this?” Andrew has been my mouthpiece throughout this ordeal, and I’m fucking grateful he is here right now. Seeing as I’m not in the right frame of mind
Chasing His Rejected Luna 184
JADEWhat came to my head when Jaiya said we should go out? Not much really, but it shouldn’t have been the idea of staying in. Because she did specifically said going out, so, why would I think staying in?Well, why I’m thinking about this is because the music is too loud and my head is thumping with the beat of it. Definitely not how I thought I would spend my evening. Though, I’m sure my irritability has more to do with the fact that Antonio hasn’t messaged me still. This is the longest we have gone without talking in… ever. Since before we even became official.It’s not even that he didn’t message me. I’m worried something was wrong because this isn’t like him. And that banned letter and its contents have been nagging me in the back of my head.If anything, Jaiya doesn’t look like she is any more fun than I am. She is lost in her thoughts and ha scene nursing the same drink. I got water, which I didn’t even drink.I wanted to ask her what was wrong because this is not like her. Sh

JADEThe walk to where Jaiya was seemed to have tripled, or even quadrupled compared to when I got up to go to the bathroom.She looked up when I got to her and I instantly noticed how dilated her eyes were. And it know it is not just because of the drinks.“Oh my God, Jay? Are you okay?” I placed my hand on her shoulder, giving her a little shake because even though she was looking at me. It didn’t seem like her mind was here at all and that made me break out in a sweat, my mind running as I thought of who to call.I moved closer to her so she could lean on me, which she did. And her body was deadweight, I had to adjust my stance so we both don’t topple over. Taking a survey of the whole place. I checked all entry and exit points. The most crowded and ;essential crowded spaces.All I needed to do was get us to the door. With another glance at Jaiya, I saw that it wouldn’t be as easy as it sounded in my head. But I wasn’t just going to sit here and wait for a miracle to happen.“Can y

JADEI woke up feeling someone’s eyes on me. Getting up with a start, a hand grabbed my shoulders, trying to pulls me back down. Or at least it seemed that way. My instincts kicked in and I started fighting whoever it was. My fist connected with their upper body and I heard a groan. And a very familiar voice curses.My eyes opened and I came face to face with Jaiya whose face was twisted in pain.“Shit. I’m so sorry Jay.” I spoke, getting up and giving her the seat. She nodded, trying to breathe through the pain.“Fuck!” She breathed out. “You’ve got a mean pinch. Remind me to never get physical with you.” Even though the situation was serious, I found myself chuckling a little and she smiled too. “Hey.”“Hi, good morning.” I greeted, taking a seat beside her and slinging an arm over her shoulder in apology. “I’m so sorry. My flight or fight instincts kicked in.”“And you’re a default fighter.” She groaned, rubbing her lower belly.“Unfortunately.” She nodded.“No problem. It was my f
