The Stars

"You actually came..." I answered, walking toward the edge of the roof. She sat there, swinging her legs one by one. Her hands gripping as to not fall over. I sat down beside her, giving a bit of space between us before following the rhythm of her swinging.

"I don't understand.." She finally spoke. The wind blew against my face, giving it light kisses. Without looking over at her, I can tell that her flowing red hair was being tucked behind her ears. Her hair was just as bright and reckless as her personality. But I loved that about her. "Why do you want to watch the stars with me?"

"I want you to see how beautiful the stars are." I answered with a shrug. I heard her snort.

"Really? I'm surprised you didn't say something cheesy." She answered, bringing a leg up hugging her knee to her chest. It was my turn to snort.

"Like what?" I looked up at the sky seeing the moon flashing down at us. The stars twinkling almost as if they were waving at us. Greeting us. "The stars are not as beautiful as you are?"

"Yup..." She brought her other leg up hugging both of her knees to her chest as she too stared up at the stars. I could just imagine her hazel eyes shining. The stars reflecting off of them. I smiled at the thought. "You could be watching the stars with someone else. Here... on this roof."

"Yeah... but this roof is special. We always came here besides..." I sighed, looking away from the stars in the sky. "You promised one day that you would go star gazing with me. Remember?" I couldn't help but to finally look over at where she sat.

But she was not that there. She was never was there. Not anymore. I bite my bottom lip feeling the tears that threatened to fall... fall. Her red hair that scattered across the ground so beautifully was the same color of the red that flowed out from her head when she landed. Her hazel eyes that shined against the moonlight, the stars did not shine no more. Everything about her died.

You promised one day we could go star gazing. You promised.
