Harper's P.O.V

Why the hell would Cory do that to her? I'm usually the one who is cold-hearted but even then I wouldn't go as far as burning down her safe haven with her dog inside. Wait, where is she? As soon as I had come out Cory had already gathered the whole school to see what happened yet I haven't caught a glimpse of her. I turn around and head over to where Cory is standing, boasting about being the first one to see the fire happen.

"Oi, have you seen Luna? She's not out here." He just rolls his eyes and curses me out for saving her puppy. "Why the hell did you save her dog?! She needs to feel the pain of losing someone so that she learns to not push people away, even if its just a mutt she rescued from the pound!"

"Lose someone? Why do you think she's living by herself for? Can't you pull the puzzles pieces together? She's already alone! I thought my bestfriend -Who is already way too observant and open minded- could've figured out something as simple as this! Now I'm going to ask you once more. Have.You.Seen.Luna?!" With each sentence I poke a finger at his chest.

He just smirks at me, "You tell me. You are the one who locked the door on her." Locked the door on her? I didn't lock any doors? my face contorts into a confused expression.

"I haven't- wait. NO!"

He lets out a mischievous chuckle, "Yes. You locked her in a burning room with no escape. You've practically cremated her already. Speaking of cremations did you bring the vase? You're gonna need it when they find her burnt up body" I hadn't realised it until now but my only friend is a psychopath.

I just stand there and stare at him, shocked. "What are still doing here? Shouldn't you be trying to get her out before she burns to a crisp?" Immediately I am snapped out of my shocked state and have finally set into panic mode. I have to get her out of there.

Push after push, Shove after shove and I have finally got to the now crowded door. I put my hand on the knob but quickly snatch it back after the metal burns my hand. How am I going to get inside? I need to find something sharp. Looking around, I finally find what I was looking for, the emergency axe.

Grabbing the axe I immediately start hacking down the door, I have to save her. "Hey! Son, you need to step away from the door and let the professionals handle this!" The principle is now pulling my struggling figure away from the door.

"No! I need to save her! She's locked in there! I need- "

"Who? Who's stuck in there?" I don't respond, all I can do is stare at the door and keep repeating the same words, "I need to save her! She's stuck!" Finally after realising that I can't respond he slaps me in the face, quite literally knocking me into reality. "Who. Is. Stuck. In. This. Burning. Basement?!!"

Panting from all the yelling I finally give him an answer, "Luna! Luna Willows! She's stuck down there! Please! You gotta let me help her!"

"No, we can't let another student be put in harms way. I will inform the professionals that there is a girl down there and that before anything she must be rescued." he pushes me back over to the crowd where one of the guys from the lunch table, Gray I think his name is, holds me back.

"Let me go! She's down there!" He just ignores me and grips my upper arms tighter, doing the complete opposite of what I wanted.

Seconds turn to minutes, minutes turn to what felt like hours (but in reality it had been only five minutes) and I finally see her. She's not moving. Why is she not moving? Running over to the guy holding her, I start asking questions.

"How is she? Why isn't she moving? Why isn't she awake." All these questions go unanswered as I walk with him over to the ambulance's stretcher. Is she really that bad that he won't answer my questions?

"Raven?!" A guy with blonde hair runs over to Luna's side as she was being pushed up to the ambulance.

"Raven? Who's Raven? And who are you?" He just looks at me confused, what is he hiding?

A look of realization crosses his face, "Oh never mind mate, I think I have the wrong girl" he said in a foreign accent. Is he Australian? Oh that's right we're hosting Eastern-west or whatever the schools called. Wait Ryder, dammit.

"All good man, well we gotta leave." I pat him on the back with my spare hand and make a move to get into the ambulance.

"Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to either leave the pup with someone or drive yourself to the hospital because without a pet carrier we aren't allowed to permit dogs into this vehicle" I look up to find a paramedic staring me down with hard eyes.

"Uh sure, but who's going to ride with her?"

"I will." I turn around to see the guy who called Luna Raven.

"You sure? You don't even know her" he just quietly mutters "more than you think" before climbing into the back of the ambulance and settling beside the girl who is now finding it hard to breathe without a oxygen mask.

It's all my fault. If I had told her Cory's plan then maybe she would most likely be in detention instead of this ambulance. If I had told her, she would've gotten there before Cory and his two little follower friends and confronted him, hell I would've helped her! But no. I just had to go and play hero, now look where that landed her!

Turning around I head to my car only to curse and head back to Cory. "I need my keys."

He lets out a dark chuckle, "So you can do what? Go visit the pathetic little liar over there?" I stay silent, for some reason this seems to anger him even more. "You know what? Fine you can have the keys." he grabs the keys to my Lexus and hovers them over to my outstretched palm. "You know what? I'm gonna make you work for it" and with that he tosses them in the closest bush. Alright, now I was annoyed, raising my fist I look into his eyes, those eyes that have been there for me ever since I could remember. I hesitate as I see the fear and disbelief that his eyes held. Slowly I pull my hand away from his face, but I still need to punch something. Once again I raise my fist and punch the wall right beside his head.

"I don't want you to talk to me again. I don't want you anywhere near me or Brooke. If you even come close to either one of us I will get a restraining order put against you, and you know I can so don't even try doubting me." Just as I was about to continue my conditions for letting him leave school today without a permanently messed up face I hear a groan coming from the ambulance, and lets just say that this annoying voice is very familiar and made me so happy. The only thing I didn't like about the miracle that was now in front of me was the word that escaped her pale, chapped lips.

"A-aidan..." and just like that she was out like a light.

Okay so I don't know if I have told you guys yet and frankly I am too lazy to go back into the other chapters right now so I'm just going to tell you here. My story crosses over with my bestfriends story. Aidan is not my character, he is purely @Hogwarts-ravenclaw7's character so I will not take credit for him. This story is coming close to where all the drama happens so if your bored with the story at the moment just hold on and we'll get there soon. The story that crosses over with this one is called 'Story of my Life' this story is heartbreaking and will cause you internal pain 😁 I would say that was a joke but I'm deadly serious, my emotions are all over the place when I read it! But anyway its there if you want to read another side of the story!

See ya!
