Rein's POV

Shade had been a couple feet ahead of me. I never tried to catch up because I felt so tired. I wasn't sure what time it was and nothing but the glow of the oceans guided me. In the far distance I was able to see the small island. When I focused back on the path, I started thinking about the lady and Shade's mother again. Does Shade really still have a mother... Or was it just a coincidence? I was so deep in thought that I tripped over an obstacle in my path.

"Ow!" I said as I tripped and fell. I turned back to see a small bump, possibly a rock, sticking out of the ground. "Stupid rock." I mumbled. When I looked back up, I noticed that Shade had stopped and turned around.

"Watch where you step. You might end up falling again." Shade said bluntly. I just rubbed my ankle in pain. When I looked back up again, I noticed that Shade was in front of me. "Get on." he said as he crouched down, his back facing me.

"But-"

"Don't object and just get on. Your ankle hurts right?" Shade said as he looked over his shoulder. I hesitated a bit but climbed on his back, resting my hands on his shoulder. He lifted me up and started carrying me on his back. The next minutes were completely silent, the ocean waves were the only ones making a sound. After a long while it became sickening and I decided to break the silence.

"Shade, is your mother... alive?" is what came out. After I realized what I said, I started to hide my face. Shade also stopped in his tracks. I saw his head look up towards the start filled sky.

"I believe that she is actually. Do you want to meet her?" Shade as. I looked at him, his eyes staring sadly at the sky. I nodded yes and he raised his hand, pointing toward the sky. "You remember the north star right? If you look a little to the right, you'll see another bright star near it. I guess it's the second brightest star in the sky." Shade said. I located the north star, then moved a little to the right. Finally I reached the spot Shade was pointing at.

"That's your mother?" I asked.

"Yes. It was a star that my father bought for her as a gift for her birthday. But shortly after she received her present, she died... in an incident." I watched as Shade continuously stared at the sky.

"I'm sorry Shade. I'm so very sorry." I said, almost crying myself again.

"It's not your fault Rein. I completely understand why you did it. So you don't have to worry." Shade said, then he started moving forward again. I felt guilty for what I did. If I had a chance to redo it, I would have taken it. But I couldn't because I knew that there were no second chances at life. As Shade carried me, I continuously stared at the star Shade pointed to.

I'm sorry for what I did. I prayed, hoping it would reach her. When we got far enough I decided to get down. "Shade, my ankle is alright now. You can let me down." I said.

"Ok." He crouched down and let go of my legs. I placed them on the floor and stood up. After I got down, I started wondering about something else. What does Shade really think of me? Not to mention, I never even got his answer. I looked up at his back and realized that right now was the perfect time to ask.

I grabbed the back of his shirt and tugged on it. "What is it Rein? Don't tell me it hurts again." He said as he turned around.

"Shade, do you remember... my confession?" I couldn't see his expression but I felt him jump slightly. But before he answered, someone in the distance shouted. My head immediately looked in the direction of the sound.

"SHADE! REIN!" Is what I heard. I tried to adjust my eyes to see the distance. Shade figured out who it was first though.

"Fine!" he called out first. Right when he did my hand automatically let go of his shirt and he started running towards her. My hand slowly fell to my side as I watched him run farther away. That's right. He's dating Fine. There's no way he would accept my confession. I said as I gave a sad smile. Then I followed him, slowly running behind.

When I reached them, I only saw Fine and and Bright. "Hey guys. Where have you been? I thought we were leaving today and you spend like the entire day out doing some random stuff!" Fine complained.

"Sorry Fine. Some things ended up happening. I'll explain everything later. But where is everyone else?" I asked.

"They stayed behind because they were either tired, or waiting for you guys in cased you returned before we found you." Bright answered.

"We could still could home tonight anyways. You should know the ship has auto pilot." Shade said when Fine suddenly hugged his arm.

"That's cool! We'll be able to see the entire ocean from above." Fine responded as they started walking the beach. Bright walked on Fine's side and I walked on Shade's. I watched Shade as he gave off his smile of joy and laughed with him but as we continued to walk. But in the end I tuned out everything. 'Also you don't have to be alone ever again. I promise that I will never leave you alone, not now or ever again.' His voice ringed in my mind. Why would you tell me something like that if I'm not even the one you love most. I thought as a tear fell ff my face and disappeared in the ocean's tide.

When we got back, everyone started packing up. The drowsy ones just climbed on and went back to sleep while the ones who were still awake and asking me and Shade many questions helped pack up the stuff. Of course I answered some questions but Shade told me that I shouldn't tell the entire story. But he never told me the reason why.

All of us gathered onto the large flying vehicle and took off. I stared out the window of the vehicle and saw the bright glowing oceans again. Everyone on the ship was practically asleep, the lights flipped off. I flipped open my phone and saw that it was 11 o'clock. I also had one message from Sophie saying,

'Altezza told me what happened. How did it go?' I started texting her back.

'Not so well...' I pressed sent. I didn't expect a reply since it was very late at night. So I just shut my phone and started closing my eyes, letting the neon ocean become a glowing blur in the distance until I shut my eyes and let everything fade into darkness.

Man I had no clue wat to name this chapter. It might be a little off but its the best I could think of. Review!
