Lock's POV

"LOCK! HELP! HELP ME!" Shock screamed. She was chained to a wall, and about to be killed. By Oogie Boogie. I tried to run to her, but I was stuck, and I couldn't move. I watched as Oogie Boogie killed the one girl I loved.

…...

I woke up in a cold sweat. I ran out of my room, and to Shock's room. I opened the door. She wasn't there. She never would be. I fell to my knees, sobbing. She was dead, why couldn't I grasp that? I heard Barrel come up behind me. By now, he was used to this. He put his hand on my shoulder to comfort me. He cried too. Exactly three weeks ago, is when Shock had died….

…...

FLASHBACK:::

"Come on!" Shock yelled, she was rushing out the door. Me and Barrel had followed. We had wondered where she was taking us. I had smiled and chuckled. I didn't care. I loved her. I would follow her to the ends of this world and beyond. Eventually, we had came to the doors. We had run through the forest. She pointed to a new tree, with a new door. It was shaped like… a ball. (like Earth) Shock ran to the door, and was about to open it. I rushed up to her and grabbed her shoulder. We still didn't know we loved each other…oh how I wish she knew my feelings. She turned to face me.

"Shock, I don't know about this. We should tell Jack first." I told her. She shrugged me off, and opened the door. That had hurt. Then, as soon as the door was opened, she disappeared. Not sucked into the door, or vaporized, she just…disappeared. After two weeks of restless searching, we had to assume that she was… When Jack told me this, I almost committed suicide. But I knew, I knew, that she was out there somewhere….

END OF FLASHBACK:::

…...

I looked up at Barrel. The possibility of her being alive had vanished with every dream I had. Every night I would dream of her…dying. I stood up, wiping my tears away.

"You okay?" Barrel asked. I looked at him, managing a weak, fake smile. I needed to tell him why I was so messed up over this. To him, we had lost a best friend. To me…

"Yeah. Hey Barrel, did I ever tell ya' that I… Well, I was in love with her. That's why I'm so messed up, bro. Just wanted ya' to know." I told him. He smiled.

"Did ya' think I couldn't tell? The way you stared at her… The way whenever she cried, you'd beat the hell outta who ever made her cry…I think we all knew. Including her. And, if she was here she'd hit me for telling you, but… She told me about two months ago that she was in love with you." Barrel told me, honestly smiling. I smiled too. For the first time since…she had died. Me and Barrel walked to the living room, and opened the huge window. We stared at the night sky. The stars were shining, and one in particular caught my eyes. Shock's favorite. She called it hope, because when she was little, she had wished upon it for friends, and the next day, she had met me and Barrel. Oh, how she loved that star. A solitary tear fell down my face. My tail wrapped around my leg for comfort. Barrel patted me on the back, and whispered that he was heading back to bed. I nodded. I continued to stare at the star. Shock was too young to die. She had her whole life ahead of her. She was 17, like me. Barrel is 16. I sighed and looked down at my feet, whishing upon that same star that, by some miracle, Shock was alive. I wished for about an hour, and then I went back to bed. As soon as I lied back down, I fell asleep.

Shock's POV:

I didn't know where I was…Was I dead? I didn't know, but it was cold, and scary…I wished Lock was here. I loved him so much. And somewhere deep inside, I knew he loved me. But I didn't dare think of him know. All I knew was that I wanted him to come and save me. I cried and cried, until I fell asleep in that cold place I had been in for what- three weeks? They probably thought I was dead. As I fell asleep, I felt a spark in my heart. That meant someone was wishing upon MY star, Hope. I gasped, as I realized it was Lock. I smiled and fell asleep.

Where ever I am Lock, I love you.
