Sitting alone in my car staring into the empty night sky while listening to Perfect by Hedley... What better way to get inspired?
Heya folks it's Watermalone here with the next segment of this little story. Sorry to all my readers I was hoping to get some feedback before starting the next chapter but I got super anxious and started anyways!
And without further (further) ado... Here is chapter 2 :)
Star Butterfly's POV
It was a hard night to sleep through. The castle was, as usual, too quiet for her.
"2:00 AM" she sighed under her breath staring intently at the vintage analogue clock positioned above her canopy bed.
She strode over to the balcony of her room overlooking the peaceful kingdom of Mewni. Well, peaceful in the sense that it was quiet. There was probably some poor villager being devoured by some 7 headed lion serpent hybrid thing in the forest as we speak.
She turned back around to face her empty room again.
"Empty." The word escaped her lips as quickly as she formulated the thought.
She wrapped her arms around herself as she sunk to the ground, leaning against the doorframe. A glint of white caught the corner of her eye as she glanced sideways and noticed the sheet of paper lying underneath her bed.
She reached over to the slightly crumpled sheet and dragged it out from underneath the bed.
"You are formally invited to the wedding of Erica Catherine Goodman and Marco Ubaldo Diaz on the 22nd of July, two-thousand and twenty eight." She whispered to herself, her cracked voice echoed inside the massive bedchamber.
It just wasn't fair. Life hadn't been fair. All she ever wanted was to live her life the way she wanted, free from the shackles of "responsibility" and escape the unblinking stare of "perfection". All she wanted was him.
There was no point in crying anymore. The years had consumed what little tears she had left to shed. There was nothing left inside except...
"Emptiness." She sighed again, this time, in despair.
How could she possibly show her face to him now? She could never stand the thought of being away from her closest, no, best friend and yet, here she was, 5 years later, avoiding him like the plague. Eventually the calls stopped incoming, messages became scarce, and updates were reduced to less than once a blue moon (which on Mewni was once every 9th week). It had only been about 2 months since she received this mysterious invitation from Earth, hopes built so high on seeing her beloved best friend again, only to have her world shattered beneath her.
Another sigh breathed heavily into the quiet abyss before her.
Maybe it would be best for her to go. Show some support, be the best friend she could still be, and put on a smile to send him on his way, his happy way, never to look back...
She looked back up at the clock.
"2:02 AM"
And tears filled her eyes again as she quietly whimpered into her folded arms.
Hmmm I tried making this longer but I realized that would be unfair since I want to hear your feedback first. The story is progressed as far as I want it to for now so I want to leave this for a few days, hear some criticism and, after all that crying is done, start writing again! Again I apologize for the length of this chapter however I will ensure to continue writing and update as soon as possible to make it up to you guys!
And as always... Reviews and comments are deeply appreciated and I hope to see you in my (possible) next installment of this story! :)
