Chapter 13

Moon's Pov

"To our place" she answered and I understand that she is talking about that secret place, I didn't go to there once, we kept walking behind Ian until we saw him hopping to his jeep we walked fast and hopped in while he is starting the engine and drive along

I'm in the back seat looking at him through the mirror he didn't look at me once or said a word he is just driving fast..he's driving into narrow streets which led to a huge area full of old abandoned buildings, factories and shops..wait?? Is the secret place here?

After a minute Ian pulled over in front of a toy shop which is old and abandoned of course and it seems like it has two floors we got out of the car and walked to the back of the shop because the front door is locked, then Ian stopped in front of a huge trap door, he opened it and there's a ladder that leads to the basement he got in first and we followed him climbing the wooden ladder downstairs, the basement is dark and very dusty there's a tint of light in here which comes from a small window, Emily closed the trap door and I followed Ian upstairs till we reached the second floor then Ian turned on the light and I gasped in surprise at how the place changed..downstairs is dark, dusty and dirty and here is clean, nice and has furniture it's like you're in a different building there's a white long fluffy carpet across the floor, two grey bag chairs and there is a wooden table that has a phonograph with lots of records in a box next to it and on the floor next to the table there are lots and lost of paintings, brushes and Sketches and on the wall there are photos of seas, streets, mountains and other things

"Wow " I whispered looking everywhere, Ian left us and walked to the window and I'm here with Em

"Em what is this place?...did you do all of this?" I asked looking at the photos on the wall

"Yes" she said while throwing herself on the bag chair "Ian found this place first before he knew me then he brought me here once and I loved this place a lot so we started saving money to buy some stuff and furnitures to make this place livable, one day we came here cleaned the place and moved all the toys in boxes downstairs and Ian fixed the electricity then we moved all the things we bought to here we come here to chill do the stuff we like in silence" she continued

"But what about the phonograph and the paintings" I asked sitting down next to her on the other bag chair

"The paintings are mine honestly this is the only place that gives me inspiration to paint " she chuckled

"Kidding !! They're amazing you're so talented "

"Ohh you're making me blush...The phonograph and the photos are Ian's "

"Yes I remember he told me once that he loves photographing"I said looking at him..he is standing far away from us looking through an open window

"Um...Em I want to talk to him" I whispered to her

"Moon I know what you did was for a good reason but believe me they're lying " she whispered back

"I just don't want him to be mad at me I'll try and go talk to him "

"Ok go " she said pushing me forward, I'm walking decreasing the long space between us till a wind hit me from the open window he's standing at but I can smell smoke in the air, I slowly stepped closer to him

"Ian" I said tabbing his shoulder, He dreaded and throw something out from the window, I assume it's a cigarette

"What" he said facing me while running his hand through his hair and his breath proved that it was a cigarette

"Why did you throw it!!" I asked resting my elbows on the window's frame looking at the scary view of the abandoned buildings

Then he turned around and talked "Throw what!?" He said resting his elbows like me

"It's ok Ian I saw it I won't judge you " I said trying to comfort him

"It's not like that, I just...I'm not used to smoke around people but Em"

"Since when you smoke?"

"After Jimmy's accident...I didn't like smoking before but I don't know I'm kinda addicted...I let out my anger in it" He said still looking at the view

"I understand because my dad used to smoke..it's fine to smoke but you have to control your anger yourself not let a cigarette control it cause being addicted is like being weak" I said slowly looking at him, He didn't look at me but he nodded

"Ian I know you're mad at me and don't tell me you're not cause you are...I didn't know you hate them this much or seeing them hurt you that much "

"Moon I just want one peaceful year in this shitty school, It's the last year can't they mind their own shit for a year " He said tightening his fist

"I'm sorry" I mumbled grabbing his wrist to easing his tightening fist and he smiled at my move

"Uh god yes smile and show me these perfect teeth " I joked slightly hitting his shoulder playfully and he chuckled looking at me from the corner of his eye

"You like my teeth!" He chuckled

"Only when you're smiling but angry no no no "I said in a childish way and he giggled putting his arm around my shoulder then tucked me into his chest and I giggled

"Oh I'm hearing giggles I think Moon solve it " Em yelled

"Let's go and see that nuts " He said breaking the semi-hug then we walked back to Emily, Ian threw himself on the empty bag chair and I sat next to Em

"Guys I love this place so much can I bring somethings and but it here too?!" I asked

"Sure it's yours now " Ian said winking

I take a breath "Thanks" then smiled

"Oh god the school" I panicked remembering the we left school again for the second time

"Don't worry I called Mrs. Jenny " Em said looking at me that evil look

"Well I guess Mrs. Jenny is our angel in this school"

"Told you" Ian added scrolling down his phone

"What are we gonna do now ?" Em asked huffing in a bored way

"EAT " I hyped unzipping my bag "I have sandwiches and cupcakes " I said taking both in my hand

"Cupcakes " Ian raised his hand and I threw one to him

"I will take a sandwich " Em said taking the sandwich from my hand

"Moon listen to this" Ian said with his mouth full putting on a record

I'm so happy Ian forgives me but I don't know what am i going to do with Damien
