...... What?

"Two slices of pizza please," I told the cashier with a smile while giving him a five and he went to the back of the truck and got two slices of hot pizza and the cashier took the five and called the next in line.

I took the pizzas and held them in one hand and I was just about to head back to Rika when I noticed a jewelery booth. I wonder if Rika would like one....

Walking over to the jewelery booth, I looked at the necklaces and bracelets, but I looked more at the necklaces than the bracelets.

"You looking for something, dearie?" The woman asked behind the tables and I looked up at her and smiled slightly.

"I'm looking for something for the girl I like," I told her and she smiled.

She looked around the necklace selection until she grabbed one out and showed it to me on her palm.

"How about this one?" I looked at the little symbol and noticed that it was two paws entwined, kind of like how two hearts are in a necklace. It was perfect.

"This one," I told her and gave the money needed and she put it in a little red box and gave it to me.

I walked off with the red box in my hand and the pizza in the other hand and when I got back to the table, my small smile dropped. She was with some... guy, and my heart almost felt heavy. Who the hell was this guy?

“....Rika?” I was finally able to speak but I was surprised about this guy. He was a total stranger, but apparently not to Rika. My eyebrows were raised and I had a confused look on my face.

“M-Moon! I, uh... This is-“ Rika tried to explain but the guy cut her off.

“Hiya! I’m Tyler. Rika’s boyfriend.”

........ What?

My mind couldn't process it. My heart hurt more than needed and I felt the red box get heavy in my pocket. Nothing seemed right. I had thought.... I was sure that..... there was no guy around when we were traveling together.... I didn't understand.... She had a boyfriend this whole time? My heart sunk down to the pits of my stomach and I didn't feel right. I wanted to rip something out and at the same time, I wanted to go and cower in a corner. I... had thought...

I paused for a second to come up with something so I could Rika and her... boyfriend.... could have some together.

"Hey, I'm Moon, one of Rika's friends," I said in a strained voice as I held out my hand and he shook it, his hands feeling like they were just on dirt, and I made sure to scratch his hand a little with my claws and draw blood. I hated this man, but I wanted to be as far away as I could.

"Woah, hey, something just went wrong with that hot dog I just ate, so I have to go puke. Why don't you guys enjoy this pizza and I'll meet you all later, huh?" I said in a pathetic enthusiasm and smile.

I gave Tyler the pizza and then just walked off out into the crowd, and I knew Rika got a glance at the red box in my pocket but I just felt empty and hollow and I didn't care, and soon, I didn't even know where I was walking until I got out onto the middle of nowhere away from all the lights and noise of the convention and I barely noticed that it was empty land and there was one barren tree standing in it.

I leaned against the tree and slid down it onto my butt, I not even noticing my leopard ears and tail were gone and my human ears was out. I didn't really notice anything but the wind in my face and the rustle in the grass.

I was hurt and my heart pounded like a million rhythms combined. I couldn't move or speak. I just looked up at the moon, tears slowly moving down my cheeks. I took out the red box and stared at it before I threw it away from me and cried silently against the tree. Where was Luna when I needed her?

My heart was broken, and I was sure nobody could fix it.
