After the incident, the teacher got fired, and the bullies were sent to the hospital. Luna and Zero are still together after they finish lunch and the rest of the classes they have for the day. Luna is just sticking to him like glue. Zero looks at Luna, clinging to his arm like she is glued to him with a happy smile.

"Luna, I must go home soon, or my dad will be mad at me. I would love to spend time with you, but my dad is scary when angry." Zero says with an emotionless tone as he does not want her to find out about his home life, so he tries to deflect her from following him home and meeting his father. Luna smiles at Zero " Nope, I will walk you home. Don't worry about your father, Zero.

I am sure he will understand you being late home today." Luna drags Zero along as they walk toward his home, and when he gets there, he sees something surprising. He sees his father in cuffs and a few police cars at the front of his house, and his father is being dragged out in cuffs. He is yelling, and he looks at Zero as he gets out of the house.

"You little shit! I should have killed you when I had the chance! How did they find out about the drugs in the house, and when did I ever abuse the kid? When I get out, boy, you are going to die!" Zero's father is dragged out by the cops and pushed into the back of a police car.

Luna hugs Zero as his father gives him his last words before he is sent to jail. Zero, at this moment, is wondering what is happening in his life right now. Since Luna came into his life, many good things have happened. He thinks maybe Luna planned this in the back of his mind, but no, that would not be possible since he had just met Luna yesterday.

How would that be possible for her to get that evidence unless she was watching him this whole time? One of the Police officers comes to Zero and says, "Well, I am sorry to say this, son, but since your mother and father are both in jail then, you will have to stay at an orphanage or a foster home until we can contact one of your grandparents that is if we can." The police officer has a sad look on his face.

" Don't worry, Sir, my grandparents would gladly take in Zero. Zero and I are best friends, so they would be fine with him staying with us." Luna says with a smile to the police officer. The police officer thinks for a moment and is about to say something. A limo drives up to the scene, and two people are in facing clothing.

One old man and one old woman exit the car and walk towards the scene next to Luna and Zero." Hello, my name is Chris Ashwell, and my wife's name is Angela Ashwell. We already have consent signed by the mother of the child in question for them to stay with us until he is of age, and he will be provided for and cared for." Mr Ashwell says that as he hands the papers to the police officer.

The Police officer looks them over one last time and says, " Well, I guess you will be taken care of, kid. That's a good thing. I hope you have a better life in the future." The police officer leaves Zero, Luna, and Ashwells to themselves." How did you even get my mom to sign that so fast, and how did you get here so quickly? What is going on today? So many things are happening."

Zero asks with confusion as he looks at the Ashwells."We were moving into the area, so we looked into all the people around the site. You can never be too sure, and then we came upon your case of your father. Also, in the past, someone did report you having scars on your body and bleeding from your head. Then yesterday, we heard Luna made a best friend, so we looked into your history and visited your mother. She wished for someone else to care for you, so we offered." Chirs Ashwell says casually like it was no big deal which, to Zero, was a big deal. Who the heck are these people? What he is thinking in his head is how they would get all that information quickly.

Zero and Luna get in the Limo with the Ashwells. As Zero gets in, he can see most of his neighbours who started the rumours about him and his father look at the Limo with envy and sadness. Zero looks at them for one last time, and he feels nothing about those people.

They always ignored him and talked badly about him. He is in the Limo with Luna, and Luna is showing him all these fancy snacks from Japan he has never had, and some cookie sticks called pocky, which are very good. Then the Limo stops and arrives at the huge old mansion."This will be your new home, dear, for a long time. Welcome to the family." Ms Ashwell says with a warm smile that she is looking at a new grandson.

Over the years, Luna and Zero spend so much time together, and slowly but surely, Zero starts to feel something for Ashwell and, most importantly, Luna. He was not as pale as when he first met the Ashwells and Luna.

Over the years, he took on the hobby of learning how to fight to start from martial arts to weapons. He did not know why but realised later that he wanted to protect what he had, and the only way to do that was to get stronger and learn how to fight. The weapon he was the most gifted at was a scythe. He was able to use it like an extension of himself.

When Luna and Zero reached 16, something extraordinary happened. Luna and Zero are in the field of white flowers where they meet, and over the years, they will always visit. Luna looked with a shy smile and said, " Zero, over the years, I've grown attached to you, and I want to ask you something. Will you go out with me?." Luna says with a bright warm smile and has her hand out just like when they first met.

He does not hesitate and, with a bright warm smile, takes her hand and says, " I was going to ask you the same thing. I guess you beat me to it. Of course, I would go out with you, Luna. I love you. You are the light of my life in this world." Zero takes out a box, and in the package are two pairs of earrings, one shaped like the moon and one with the number Zero.

" I know it is usually a ring instead, but me and you are different. So yes I will go out with you. I will not let someone incredible like you go in this life." Zero says and kisses Luna on the lips deeply, and Luna hugs him. Both of them walk in the field of white flowers, smiling warmly as they hold hands.

Another year later, both Zero and Luna are both in a doctor's office, and a doctor comes into the room and tells them some news they were waiting on." I am sorry to say this, but you have cancer Miss Ashwell. Even with the treatment we have planned, you only have one year before you will pass away. I am sorry."

The doctor says with a sad look. Luna still smiles and says, " Well, I guess I have to make the most of this year then. Don't you agree, Zero?". Zero looks at Luna with a sad smile, and in his heart, he feels the most sadness he has ever felt. The one person he loved with all his heart only has a year left. Well, he will make sure to give her the most love possible this whole year.

During that year, Zero and Luna went on many adventures worldwide. They went to each country and every state around the world. They tasted new foods, saw many new places, and made new friends. All the friends along the way left them when they learned Luna did not have that much time left. Even Luna's grandparents lost hope in the end.

Zero stayed with Luna until the end. They finished their trip and went to the one last place that started it all—the field of white flowers with the tree on top of the hill. Zero carries Luna to the top of the tree and lays her down near the base where they first met.

"Zero, I think it is time for me to go soon. But I want to tell you something before I die." Luna weakly leans on the tree, looks at Zero with a warm smile, and puts her hand on his cheek. She looks pale and weak, but she looks at him with those warm golden eyes and that warm smile he always loved.

" I want you to know I will always love you. I want you to make others smile the way you smile. You may think you are an emotionless monster like your father. But to me, you are my Zero. The precious Zero always protects me from people who wish to use me for their gain. This whole time you let me use you as my support, and I want you to know even if the entire world hates you, I will always love you, my sweet tiny Zero," Luna says with a smile on her face and waits for Zero to say his last words to her while hanging on to life in every moment.

Zero looks at Luna with a sad smile for the first time. Tears go down his face, and he says, " Luna, to be honest, when I first met you, I realised you would be different than anyone I ever met. Over these years, I have grown to know emotions because of you. I learned sadness, anger, and happiness, but seeing you daily taught me to love." he looks at her with a happy smile, tears running down his face.

"I will say this to you before you go one last time. After you are gone, I will probably do many terrible things but know I will always love you, and you will be the only person I will call my true love. Goodbye Luna, I am sure we will meet again. You are the light of my life in this world of darkness. My shining moon in the night sky. Goodbye, my love." Zero says with a struggle, going next to Luna and giving her one last kiss.

One year later, The field of white flowers with a tree on top of the hill. On the top of the mountain. At the base of the tree where Luna died is a grave that says. Luna Ashwell the brightest light in this world that only one person gets to know.

There you see a man with a black hoodie over the grave with White flowers in his hand. " Hey, Luna, it has been a year. I wanted you to know I am going to make people smile the way you used to make me smile, but I am going to do it the only way I know how. You were always like a sweet dream to me." he says with a sweet smile.

"Sadly, I am going to have to become a Nightmare to some people, but to the people who are suffering, I hope I can make them smile like you did when I was suffering" The man walks away the wind blows his hoodie off. You see Zero with an earring of the moon on his ear and hollow eyes with no emotion." Sadly this sweet dream has to end" He walks off, not hesitating to do what he will do next.
