Clear Skies

Moon In Red

"Existing in this world isn't just your presence.
Dying and striving at the same time isn't just a phase. Being genuinely happy and having peace of mind isn't just an item to be paid."

I just turned 17 and as long as I can remember having genuine happiness and peaceful life are the things i still haven't claimed in life.

"Moon, moon are you okay??" He gently asked.

With all the crying last night I couldn't manage to open my eyes. My mouth was stitched.
And my body was paralyzed.

In different languages and in different purposes he kept on shaking me to wake me from my slumber.

As I felt his hands it made me feel warm and safe.

"Moon, please wake up, I have to make sure your okay and that no one barged in here."

Despite of not wanting to talk to anyone or to ignore people around me his my only exception Skyler is only my exception . Sky also known as Skyler is my best friend for 3 years now also my only friend.

" I've been calling you for 3 hours now moon, I called you 56 times already, you made me so worried. How many times do I have to tell you that you have to message me before you head to bed?."

Silence

He stood up and said " Well if your not going to wake up and talk to me Aadhira then I'll give you something you hate the most."

Sky pulled my blankets off and opened my curtains. The sun's rays swam all over the room and drown it with it's light. I couldn't just close my eyes and force myself to sleep. Sunlight isn't just my thing.

So, I stood up and immediately hugged him.

"Hmmmm, I've missed you Sky, by the way your still using the perfume I got you on our anniversary!???"

He nodded then stared at me. No words came out from his mouth.

I admit. I have failed to message him because I was having a mental break down. I couldn't just say that " I was crying and I got so overwhelmed that I accidentally got tired and slept away."

With his looks I can sense that his observing my actions and words.

"Why is your apartment open and why are your medals in the trashcan Aadhira? What were you thinking!?."

And before I could explain he pulled me into his arms and hugged me once again.

"Were you questioning your worth again?! or have you been scrolling on your social media timeline and got insecure again? Did someone hurt you?! Did someone bully you?! You told me you where heading to the mall yesterday. What happened?"

I couldn't just stand there and cry once more. It's been 3 years of Sky comforting me. I didn't want him to feel pity for me.

"Please don't make anything that would separate me from you. Please don't plan on parting us with death. Life is hard I know but please see the beauty in it" Skyler said with tears in his eyes.
