Yay, that's my first disclaimer as well, lol. Oh, and please review if you like it, remember green button at the bottom. You can let me know if you want it to carry on as well.
Ash POV
He looked up at the sky with a soft sigh. Stars shimmered, looking like shiny glitter had been spilled onto black velvet. It was so beautiful, but something much more beautiful was on his mind. His mind was filled with images of black, shiny hair and clear, snapping blue eyes. He wandered aimlessly in the open air.
Eventually he paused and sank onto the slightly damp grass. He lay there looking at the sky but not really seeing. After a moment he said, "Poppy, will you just leave me alone already." He didn't bother to move.
Out of the trees a figure with creamy – pale skin, wind blown copper hair and green jewelled eyes. She looked slightly amused and sorry at the same time. Without making a single noise she walked over to him and sat next to him. They sat motionless for a few moments, then Ash spoke up and said, "What are you even doing out here?"
She turned her green eyes to him and said, "Everyone noticed that you left and then I drew the short straw." Her tone was light and mocking." He groaned a little at her bad joke. Her face grew serious and she said in a grave voice, "Why are you even here with us and trying to help when you are so obviously unhappy and depressed without her."
He turned his face towards her; his eyes were blue and wide with honesty. "I have a month to go." He said simply before turning back to look up at the sky.
Briar creek. Mary – Lynette's POV
She sat with her telescope beside her, but the stars held no comfort for her tonight. In fact since he left, nothing made her feel whole. The stars were no longer what she dreamed about, instead she dreamed about ever – changing eyes, pale blond hair and lanky limbs. A day didn't go by when she was thinking about him. Her soulmate. Ash. The stars no longer held her heart, not since she met him. 11 months. Such a long time. She knew why she had told him to go and make amends with past mistakes. It had been the right thing to do. However, at times like these when it was just her and the night sky she felt so lonely and longing to know if he was looking at the sky and thinking of her as well. He had taken her heart with him; it wasn't a part of her anymore.
Knowing that she wouldn't be able to do any serious stargazing she slowly and lethargically got to her feet. In no rush she gathered up her telescope and blanket while trying to balance her cushion underneath her arm. Sure, she knew why she had sent him away, she just hadn't realised how unbelievably lonely she would feel without him. As she headed down to her newer pick – up her mind wandered trying to think about something other than him. As usual it didn't work. She shoved her things in the back and headed across the vast expanse of land, down to say 'Hi' to her blood – tie sisters and her brother who would be there as he was never anywhere else.
