It was New Years. Snow was falling like frozen tears...
The streets were getting empty,everyone began to go home, to spend this time together...with their families.
Yeah...
This is suppose to be a happy day. But not for you.
Today was just a reminder of your solitude.
And it was miserable.
Your parents died in a plane crash 2 days before New Years 1 yearago.And as an only child, you had no brother or sister. You were old enough to not be staying at a relatives house. Or well...that is what most of your family memberssaid to you.
You knew they never really wanted to take care of you. Of course, you would be just a burden. Nothing more. So you decided to rent an apartment with some savings you had, and live there. Your Aunt (Random name) was the only one kind enough to lend you some extra money. For that you are thankful. But still...you were...
Alone.
Your only companion was your food. But you didn't feel hungry at all. This was your first time alone...on New Years.
You missed your parents.
Your mother... who always had a joke to tell to make you laugh. The one who cooked, and made delicious cookies. The one who helped you with your hair for homecoming. And the one who sung you lullabies...gone.
Your father...who gave wise words to you when you needed them. The one who took care of you and mom. The one who helped you learn how to drive, even if you hit the mailbox more than once. And the one who taught you how to play the guitar...gone aswell.
Loneliness.
Before you knew it. You felt your tears pour out of your eyes. Why you? What did you do wrong? Why can't this all just be a bad dream?
Why can't you just...
A sudden feeling made you turn towards your window. You looked up to the dark blue sky.
Even if it was snowing, you could see the beautiful stars. Twinkling like your falling tears. They looked beautiful. Like always. Suddenly, a small flashback came to your head. It was of that day, you went star gazing with your parents.
" (Y/N)! Don't run so fast kiddo!" Your father laughed chasing after you. Your mother was laughing as well as she had a small basket with a few snacks, and a blanket. You ran to the top of the hill and your dad caught you. You giggled as he tickled you. You were only 12 years old at that time...
"Dad look!" You said pointing at the sky.
"Would you look at that? What a beautiful night." your dad said looking up. Your mother poured some hot chocolate on some cups, and gave you your favorite (f/c) cup.
1...2...3...4...5...6...and 7 marshmallows! Just how you like it. Your mom smiled pinching your cheek and gave your dad his cup.
"Dad! Why do you and mom like the stars?" You asked.
" It was a night like this when I confessed to your mother...that I loved her." He chuckled.
"Huuuuuh? How boring!" you huffed.
"Huh? B-Boring? Confessing isn't easy you know!" He said and pinched your other cheek.
"Ouchie!~" you whined. Only hearing your mom chuckle.
"Anyways... Your mom and I love the stars cause after we got married...we found out something incredible." He said taking a sip of hot chocolate.
"Huh? And what was that?" You asked.
"We had both wished on a star. The night before I asked your mother out. I wished for your mother to accept my love, and your mom...well..she wished I would confess soon." He smiled.
"Doesn't that only happen in movies?" You said.
"It happened to us sweetie. And after that...we once again wished to the stars for a baby." Your mother said.
"...It was me huh?" You asked
"Sure was!... We should have wished for a son though..." your dad joked.
"Heeeey! Mom! Dad is being mean again!" You said.
"Darling.." Your mom chuckled.
Your dad grinned and looked at the stars.
After being quiet and just contemplating, a question soon popped to your head.
"Do you guys think that if I wish for something...it would also come true?" You mumbled.
"Who knows...you must really wish hard. And BELIEVE!" Your dad laughed.
You laughed and rolled your eyes. And for the rest of the night, the three of you joked, and laughed. All night long.
Those were great memories that you shall forever cherish in your heart.
The tears were no longer pouring down. And a sudden thought came to your head.
"Did I ever wish for anything?"you asked to yourself.
You looked back at the stars and saw something...
A star..standing alone far from the others. It seemed to have...a certian glow to it. Before you knew it, you found yourself wishing...
You took a deep breath. And spoke only for you to hear.
"I wish..." You began to cry again remembering your parents.
You don't want to be alone. You can't and don't want tolive like this!
"I wish..."
Your closed eyes opened, and you saw the star shine brighter. Like it was calling you. Wanting you to wish.
"I DON'T. WANT TO BE ALONE! I-I WANT TO BE LOVED AGAIN! AND LOVE AGAIN!" You cried letting all those feelings out.
"I WISH TO BE TRULY HAPPY!!!!" You yelled.
You panted after letting all that out. Not so many words. But meant so much for you. Soon you began to feel a little silly for actually wishing on a star. More than that, you wished for more than one thing. You sighed feeling slightly better. You looked at your cold food and walked to heat it up.
"I should put on a movie to distract myself..." You mumbled.
What (Y/N) didn't realise...wasthat the star that had called for her...was no longer to be seen...
