Title: Touch the Stars

Summary: (Armada) Starscream's last thoughts before he dies...Very sad. Ch 2 up! Alexis's POV

Disclaimer: I don't own Transformers. Darn.

A/N: Thank you so much for the reviews! I am terribly sorry if I made Alexis OOC, but I did okay with Starscream, maybe this will be good to, right?

Any minute now, Optimus is going to tell us he's joking...Starscream's not dead. It can't be possible. I just saw him. He was fine. He was alive.

Optimus isn't kidding. He looks hurt, he tries to look mournful...But is he? It's not liked he ever really trusted Starscream. I did. I was his friend, and he was mine. We were close, very close, especially considering the fact that he is a Decepticon. No...was a Decepticon. He's dead now, gone.

Gone. Dead. Forever.

How long is forever? I know Starscream was old, like millions of years old, but he was still considered fairly young, I suppose. Either way, he was too young to die. Now, wasn't that cliché?

Oh look. I'm crying. Running.

I never really understood how I felt about Starscream until now. Now that it's too late, I can't tell him...tell him that I...

"WHY?!" I shriek, pounding on the glass of a window.

"Alexis?"

Go away, Rad! I don't want to talk right now! I want Starscream! I want him alive, like he was last I saw him. I wanna tell him how I feel! I need him. He died for me! Didn't he? Was he even thinking about me? Starscream, come back! Don't die on me! Optimus came back, didn't he? We rebuilt Smokescreen, right?! We can save you! Please...Don't go...

"Why did he leave me?!"

Now I'm crying on Rad's shoulder. He's always been there for me, but not like Starscream. Me and Rad are just friends, but...I can't say it. What's the point? He's dead. GONE! Get it through your head! Starscream is gone and he isn't coming back! Unicron killed him. You can't bring him back...

I want to tell him so bad how I feel! I wanted to, I always told myself I would, but now I can't because I waited too long! We were friends! We trusted each other! Now...now what? I can't go on like this. I have to be brave for my friends that aren't dead. They need me...or do they? All I know is that I need Starscream. But... he's dead. I hate that word. I hate Unicron. I hate Megatron. I have my stupid fear of rejection!

It isn't fair. Starscream, how could you do this? I'm not worth your life, so you couldn't have done this for me.

Or could you have?

Starscream...I wanted to tell you that I...

Love you.

My stone cracked...I heard it break, or had it been my heart?

You were a Decepticon, but your were my friend...and you still are. I love you so much!

You're dead. I'm perfectly aware of that. I just wish we had more time...Humans grow old. They die, just like you did.

You may be dead...

But I still care.

Don't worry, Starscream...I'll be there...

To help you touch the stars.
