All Chapters of Catching the Moon (Chasing the Moon Book 2): Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

EmShe opened her eyes. Then she sat up in bed .. confusion taking over momentarily. Ah fuck. She was in her bedroom. At home. No.. not home .. at her mothers house. A heaviness spilled over her immediately of the reminder. When she woke up at the twins .. she felt a happiness. Now .. the opposite. It was a depressed sad heavy weight. And dammit.. hadn’t she just gotten rid of all the heavy emotions? She’d felt so light and happy and renewed after meeting with River and saying goodbye to Evan. Now she felt like she was at the bottom.. starting completely over. Looking at the clock she saw that it was mid morning. She hadn’t even fallen asleep until the sun started coming up. She wasn’t comfortable here. She didn’t have Asher next to her .. and if there was one thing Em knew, sleeping alone brought the nightmares. But she couldn’t remember having any while she slept. Maybe it was the weed. Or maybe because it was actual daytime when she finally went to sleep. Even with all that

Chapter 93EmThe rest of the night somehow went by with no annoying phone calls and no annoying visits from Quinn. The girls had a good time. Aspen came and Em hugged her for what felt like an hour. They had a long talk and Em explained to her how humiliated she’d been. Then she apologized for the next twenty minutes because it was silly for her to feel that way. Aspen had been the perfect best friend she always was. And told Em she had no reason to be embarrassed about anything. And as soon as she felt comfortable enough to come back over… everyone missed her she said. Em certainly missed them. She was having withdrawals from being away from Asher for so long. They didn’t figure Maria would want the guys staying over so it was just the four of them. They ate tons of food and messed about .. singing and dancing. They did each others hair and watched movies .. all the normal girly sleepover things. She and Aspen slept on a pallet in the floor and Syl and Mickey took the bed. It h

Em This must be what death feels like. Because she had never felt worse than she did right then. No amount of hangovers, or being sick could hold a candle to this. She’d broken completely down .. again.. when she and the twins got outside. She told them everything .. through her sobs. When she got to the part about her hand she finally looked at it. She’d been trying to ignore it but Fuck it hurt so bad. It was swollen and bruised. “Oh shit!” Aspen said looking at it too. “Em. I’ve seen enough messed up hands in my day. And that looks broken. We need to go to the hospital.” Asher said. As much as that was the very last thing she wanted to do at the moment… she didn’t have the energy to argue either. The entire way to the hospital she sat in the back of Asher’s jeep and cried. Quinn had said horrible awful things to her. Hurtful.. agonizing things. Her mother told her to come home when that girl had been there. It was like they’d just on purposefully rubbed it in her f

EmHer eyes flitted open .. she felt confused and groggy. The bright light above her was blinding. And she was terribly nauseated. What was happening?? What did she do last night… wait .. where was she? She looked around and panic started to set in. She was in the hospital. What happened??She tried to raise up by grabbing the bar on the side of the bed when a horrible pain shot through her hand. “Holy .. fuck!” She seethed through her teeth. And then everything came back to her. “Oh god ..” she plopped her head back down on the pillow. A tear fell from her eye and down the side of her face.A woman was there then .. “Hi honey.. how are you feeling?” She asked stupidly. How the hell did she think?“Awful.” Em answered. “Okay that’s to be expected. We’re gonna get you back to your room soon. I’m going to go ahead and give you something for the pain and you can try to drink something…” the nurse told her. A moment later she’d drank an entire Diet Coke again and they’d gone to ge

Quinn He looked over at Em who’s eyes were drooping. He was shocked she was going back to sleep so quickly. After what had just happened, it seemed like she would do everything she could to stay awake. That .. and .. he had seen how she was after her nightmares. She was freaked out for quite a while. It always took her a little time to calm down. “Whaaa was thaaa…” she mumbled. He thought she was asking the nurse what she gave her. But in the next second.. the girl was snoring. Quinn tilted his head at her. Then he snorted. She was out. He still patted the wash cloth on her head. She’d been so torn up she hadn’t even yelled at him about it or pulled away. “That oughta do the trick.” The nurse said. “What did you give her?” Quinn asked in an accusatory voice. She just smiled though. “It’s a mixture. It’s her pain med and a concoction we give patients before surgery to calm them down. Sometimes after anesthesia they’ll have really bad nightmares coming off of it. This usually d
