short stories

I watched the moon.

(Title referenced to a line from 'Tek it'.)
-

It had been days,
days of never ending, endless drops of tears
It was depressing.
The only thing I could remember were
Moons
How your annoying, bubbly self would rant about them.
Whenever I see the moon, I think about you.

It was just a normal day, not so normal..
You weren't online or at school today.
I was worried you'd overslept again.
After school I wanted to visit you,
but I had after school activities
And I wish I skipped.
That day, I wish I didn't agree to stay at school.
When I got the text from your brother,
My heart shattered and burned.

"I'm sorry, they passed away."
No way. I couldn't believe it.

That night, Ever since I got that message of how you passed.
I couldn't stop blaming myself, how I could've helped you.
I could've saved you.
But now, I hopelessely watch the moon whilst thinking about you.

School doesn't feel the same anymore.
And our friends, they blamed me.

"This is your fault, if you didn't stay over, You would've saved them!"

"I know, just please stop-"

"She didn't deserve that!"

"Why couldn't you go instead then? You could've saved them"

"..."

"Guilty as seen."

The endless tears that fell from my eyes,
as my voice screamed for you,
I felt that my life didn't mean anything.

I just wished that you'd be able to see the moon tonight.
It's just as beautiful as you looked at it, smiling with glimmered eyes.
Oh, how I wish to see that smile again.

It must have been a very sad life to live.
This might be, your happiest day.
After years of living in such a hell of a house, It must be so calm.
No screaming, or anything like that.

I just wish,
that I can look at the moon with you just this one time..
