Chapter Text
I turned my phone off; not wanting to deal with all the hate comments, that were probably already flooding in.
I just stayed at my apartment until I had to go. Sabrina and Nessa came over and just comforted me.
I already made a deal with Matt to drive me to the airport, so I wouldn’t leave my car there.
But after everything I wasn’t sure, so i called him “Hi” he said slightly surprised “Hi, I just wanted to ask if you still wanted to drive me? I know Chris probably told you what happened..” I said, hating the way my voice was slightly cracking.
“Luna…yeah he told us. But it’s not my place to meddle. Of course I’ll still drive you. I’ll be there in like an hour okay?” He said “Thanks Matty..”
As I waited for him. A part of me wished that Chris would be in the car. We had talked about having a movie goodbye at the gate, but now I knew that wasn’t happening, though I still had hope.
But he wasn’t in the car.
Matt got out and helped me put my suitcase in “He didn't come..” I said and he looked so apologetic.
“Of course he didn’t. Sorry we should just go” i just got in the passenger seat, and he started driving.
“He didn’t tell us the details of what went down. But i'm sure you guys can-“
“No Matt. From what I’ve gathered he clearly doesn’t want me…and that’s okay. I just have to somehow be fine with that” i swallowed “Okay..”
We parked and he walked me all the way to the gate “I really am sorry about everything, even though i don't know what happened exactly” he said apologetically.
“I know, thanks Matty..” I reached up hugging him so tightly “Text me when you land okay?” He said as I walked away “Of course” I smiled.
Chris point of view;
I heard Matt get up and get ready. I was contemplating it in my head so hard.
I wasn’t sure that I knew what to say or how to fix this. But I also felt like I couldn’t let her leave without trying.
But then Matt left. I got in the first uber and went to the airport.
But then I saw Matt walking down the escalator “You’re too late” he sighed “No. Really? But I have to- i need to” i was slightly panicking.
“It’s too late, you can call her on the way home” he looked so disappointed in me.
And I did, but she didn’t pick up. In fact I could hear she purposely shut it off.
How on earth was I supposed to last a week without being able to talk to her?
Luna point of view;
I made it to the others and was immediately met with hugs and apologies. “C’mon let’s get you a big strong drink” Amari wrapped an arm around me and we walked to the bar.
I had already told them everything, but told Tana I really didn’t wanna deal with it on this trip and just wanted to have fun.
As we boarded the plane i got a text from Chris “Have a safe flight, text me when you land<3” i knew immediately that that was his way of saying he knew he f*cked up. I just didn’t reply, because I was still upset.
I texted him once we were at the hotel “We made it to the hotel”
He replied immediately, “Good, I hope you have an amazing trip” I just sighed, putting my phone down.
Then they all dragged me out and we got stupidly drunk that first night.
I had fun, I guess, the first few days kinda flew away.
Nick point of view:
Tana called me, which was odd, but I picked up “Hi?”
“Hi, sorry to bother you. I just- is Chris like being weird too?” She asked and I heard her go in another room “Omg yes, he’s barely left his room. I heard him cry the other night” i said hoping Luna wasn’t having too much fun.
“Same here. I mean we’ve tried and she seemed to have fun the other day but then i heard her crying too. Is there anything we can do?” She asked “I think we gotta wait until you guys come home. This isn’t really and over the phone conversation”
“Right, and by the way we’re going to Paris tomorrow. Just so you guys are updated” she said “Oh i'm sure she’s gonna have fun there”
Luna point of view:
I had been avoiding my social media unless I was posting something from the trip.
But I was well aware that the fans had gone crazy. Also now that I was on a trip without him, they were making crazy assumptions and I just had to distance myself from it.
We were on our way to Paris and I was so excited.
We had landed and obviously there was a time difference. I opened my instagram to Larray at a party. And in the back you could clearly see Chris and Neima sitting close and talking.
My heart dropped and I felt like screaming. Did he actually feel like we were over? Would he actually hook up with someone else?
“Babe what’s wrong?” Brooke asked and I shoved her “Oh- oh honey” she put it away and just hugged me.
Chris point of view::
Nick and Matt had somehow convinced me to go to a party.
I had been so distracted. I was just thinking of how to fix it and what to say when she gets back. Or if I could somehow fix it over the phone.
I was just sitting watching people dance when Neima came over and sat with me.
I cringed cause i had had a crush on her a while back, and had kinda flirted with her once. But that was before we even moved here.
“You okay?” She smiled “Yeah” I lied “You just looked lonely, wanna dance?” She asked clearly trying something “No thanks i'm good here” i said “Aw, somebody broke your heart?” She asked.
“Something like that..” i sighed “Well, call me if you change your mind” she smiled, touching my arm before she got up.
Luna point of view:
I had posted a story that we were in Paris and then my phone dinged “No way, you’re with Tana?” Vinnie had swiped up.
I smiled because he was just genuinely being sweet and wanted to hang out “Yeah, who are you here with?” I asked “Noah and Jack, let’s link up later?” He asked “Sure”
We went out to dinner and then Tana had apparently also been talking to Noah, so we met up with them at this bar thing.
I was honestly having so much fun, barely thinking about Chris.
“Hii” i ran up and hugged Vinnie “Hey” he smiled “Omg first let me apologise, i kinda ghosted you after everything that went down didn’t i?” i said as we sat by the bar,
“Well yeah- but that’s okay. When you’re in love you kinda forget everything else. I get that” he smiled.
“I really am sorry though, I missed you. We have to hang out when we get back to LA” i said and he lit up “Oh yeah for sure, we can finally play Valorant” he said excited “Omg yes”
“Okay nerds let’s take shots” Tana walked over and put her phone up recording and we all took a couple shots.
“But how’s that going actually? I saw some stuff on tiktok but I know that’s not always true” he asked as we had gotten drunker “It was going great actually..but then Bryant posted a very private photo from Nessas party. And he accidentally walked In while I was live with Tana and kissed me. So people kinda figured it out..” I sighed.
“Oh sh*t, I’m so sorry it had to happen like that” he said genuinely “Well yeah we had a huge fight, and I’m not even sure what we are right now. Because then I left for Italy” i explained.
Tana went home with the waiter.
Brooke stayed with me, Vinnie and Noah and we all got almost blackout.
We had so much fun and went back to their huge suite.
They were there for some fashion thing, so of course it was luxurious.
We had more wine when we got there. I think Brooke and Vinnie did cartwheels at one point.
