Vanilla Twilight (Owl City)
Thank you for choosing to read this, and thanks to InmateXIV for coming up with this challenge :)
The night was cold and Namine sat alone on her front porch gazing at the many constellations in the sky. She was alone, goose bumps traveled up her arms as she was caught up in the nostalgia of her long lost best friend Roxas.
They used to sit out here at night to wait for shooting stars and make wishes that they hoped would come true. When it got cold, he would put his arm around her shoulder. It made her feel safe, comfortable and warm mostly. But since he had reached his demise she sat alone, wishing he was beside her.
She had to admit, she loved him more than a friend. She always imagined them getting married one day; in fact, she fantasized about that a lot.
She had gotten used to the still silence of the night; the only sound that reached her ears was her breathing. Some nights, she had thought she had gotten over her friend's death of the car accident, but when she looked at the empty spot beside her, a part of her died inside.
She had lost sleep, a lot in fact. Her mind was busy of all the things she left unspoken to him. She could've told him she loved him, but she let fear control her instead. His memory will be forever in her heart.
Her thoughts somehow always lead back to him no matter what. If she thought of peanut butter, his face appeared. It got to the point where she didn't want to remember him anymore. She needed to move on.
Days, weeks and in fact years had passed since the death of Roxas and Namine found herself getting used to the fact that she'd have to wait a long time to see him again. She was able to smile more often. Namine didn't forget about Roxas, she just finally grasped the fact that he's gone and never coming back.
Every night, she would still sit in the same spot on her porch, staring up at the sky and reliving memories. She once had spotted a star pattern that resembled Sea Salt Ice cream, something he adored. A small laugh escaped her lips.
She would forget everything in the entire world, but would never give up the memories she had with Roxas, no matter what.
Every day she still wished he was there beside her.
