"there's got to be something out there." vinnie said, pointing up to the stars in the sky - his head tilted against the window. "you wanna go look for it ?" i giggled, opening my window and sitting on the roof. "isn't this dangerous ?" he asked, startled at my movements. "probably.." i whispered, my attention being caught by the dark abyss above me.
i felt vinnie's warm figure climb out next to me, both of us looking up at the star-filled star. "i wanna go there," vinnie pointed at the moon, "someday i want to go there." i hummed, in agreement. it was silent for a while, we were taking in the beautiful, yet seemingly unreachable place looking down on us.
"that's my favourite star." i pointed at the brightest one i could find. "reminds me of you, " vinnie chuckled, "you wanna go back inside.. it's cold." vinnie stated, starting to drag us back into the room.
that night, i fell asleep next to my best friend, with visions of the future - our future.

i was there when he trained, i was there when he cried, i was there when he was ready to give up on his hopes and dreams. but, now i'm here, watching him walk into that spaceship. watching him walk into the unknown. i didn't know how to feel - i was happy, i was petrified. overall, i was proud. these were his dreams. he'd finally get to walk on the moon.
he walked up to the door, my brain begging me to look away as tears threatened to spill from my eyes - but i couldn't bring myself to look away. i watched as he turned around, searching for something. his gaze landed on me, he gave me a wave, blew me a kiss then walked in. the large doors encased the love of my life - i don't know when the next time i'd see him would be.
suddenly, a loud sound roared out, and vinnie was launched into the beautiful unknown. i watched until i couldn't see it anymore, i just hope he's okay.
