Chapter Four
Shards of glass and roses were scattered all over the floor. I looked up at Gene, who looked disappointed. I could feel my heart breaking in my chest and pulse raced. I wanted to cry, but I didn't. Instead, I stood there, wishing to go back in the past, to fix this.
"Well, Melfina," Gene said, in a low tone. "It seems you've gotten what you always wanted." He bent down and picked up a single rose. "Here, let's just say it's from an admirer," He said and handed me the rose.
"Gene, I-" I said, but he was already gone, with my heart.
I fell to the floor and put my face in my hands. I tried to cry myself a river so I could sail away and never to return. But, when I eventually stopped crying it was only a puddle of my sorrow and heartbrokenness.
"Melfina, I'm sorry. I caused this mess," Jake said. "I'll leave."
I wiped my tears. "It's not your fault, it's all mine." I said.
"But, all in all, I should leave." He said and kissed my cheek. "Good luck, and if things don't work out between you and that guy, call me." He said and faded away down the terminal.
I stood up and walked inside the ship. I clutched onto the flower as I passed his room. I wanted to knock on it and tell him my true feelings, but I couldn't. So I kept walking. I went into my room and collapsed on my bed, in a puddle of tears.
I should've known not to go to that club, but I wasn't thinking. I was too depressed to think straight. He even bought me flowers to apologize! I really am a moron to do that to him. But then when I think about it, he never actually told me that he felt the same for me. Sure he told Suzuka, but I wanted him to tell me and only me. Then and only then will I know that he truly does.
"Melfina," a person said at my door. "Can you open the door for a minute?"
I lifted my head and stared at the door. I tried to look through the door, but it was worthless to even try.
"It's me, Suzuka," she said. "I need to talk to you."
I sighed and went to open the door. She walked inside and sat down at the end of my bed. I sat nest to her, with tears rolling down my face.
"Melfina, don't cry." She said.
"I can't stop, I try. But it's no use. The tears keep falling and I fall more and more into sadness."
"But, you shouldn't cry, you have nothing to cry about. Gene loves you and that's all that matters." She assured. "I know how you feel."
"No, Gene hates me. I deceived him with somebody else!" I exclaimed. "And don't tell me you know how I feel, because you don't! No one does!"
"Melfina, you're just as blind as him!" She said, and stood up. "Believe me, I know what it's like to love someone so much, that it hurts because he doesn't you love you in return. I know Melfina!"
"Suzuka," I said, lowering my voice. "I'm sorry."
She clutched onto her wooden sword and stared at me with repent. "It's ok," she sighed, and walked towards the door. "Don't give up."
I watched as she walked away. I laid back on my bed and stared at the ceiling. It seems different now. The room is smaller, the ceiling is lower, and my body felt bigger. It was like I was in a little dollhouse, made for only me. A house full of sorrow, happiness, drama, gloom, and action. That's what makes up my house.
The room spun around me as I laid there. I shouldn't give up; I have the rest of my life ahead of me and I shouldn't dwell on something as stupid as this for the rest of my life. I sat up and stared at the door. It was the door to my future. I stood up and walked towards it. I rested my hand on the doorknob and closed my eyes. I took a deep breath and slowly turned the knob. I have to do this. I have to be strong.
I opened the door and walked the barren hallway. I searched all over the ship, but I couldn't find him. Aisha and Jim didn't know where he was, neither did Suzuka. I was stranded. I was so ready to talk to him, but then when I went to tell he wasn't there.
I ended up at the bridge, staring at the stars. I loved the way they seemed to dance around the moon. They were the only things I could count on. Because, every night I knew they would be there, shining like diamonds. And the moon was always right in the middle of it all, as if the stars were protecting it. I wish I could be protected by a big blanket of stars and the moon as my pillow. If that were true, then Gene would be my sun. He would brighten up the darkness with his smile and his sweet kisses. And I could lie on the fluffy clouds, as his warmth caressed my body. If only…
The cold wind blew through my hair, sending shivers down my spine. I felt as if someone was watching me. I turned around and there stood Gene. He looked at me with a sad expression on his face. I wanted to leap into his arms, but I didn't. I couldn't, it was like my feet were glued to the ground.
"Gene," I whispered into the wind, as it swirled around us.
"Melfina, I'm sorry for the way I acted," he said, and looked at the ground. "After what happened in the control room, I went out to but you flowers so I can apologize. But when I came back and saw you kissing that guy, I felt everything crumble right before me. So I left and went somewhere to figure things out. Do you want to know what I found out?"
I swallowed my fears and nodded. "Yes, Gene," I said, as he walked closer to me. I could feel my broken heart coming back together as he cupped my cheek in his hand.
"I found out, that I really do love you. It's just that I hid it because I was afraid that I would hurt you," he replied. "I guess I didn't do it very well, since I did hurt you. And I'm sorry for that."
"Gene, I love you so much. And I couldn't stand to be away from you. So, I went to that dance club to clear my mind and find a solution. But, the only thing I ended up finding was myself. I found that there was no one else in the world that I could love more than you."
He smiled and kissed me. It was better then the last, but still had the same sweetness. Maybe, wishing on stars isn't as hopeless as I thought it to be. Now, ever since that moment we've been together.
Maybe I should wish on stars more often…
