Stargazing flowers (on Amazon)

the promise

This I remember when I was in high school there was a brother and sister whom I knew since God knows when. The brother, Fox, was just my age. And the sister Dana was just a year younger then me and Fox. Who ever named my best friends was a x-files nut. And a big one at that. Dana scully and Fox Mulder....... weird but I was named Love. Yes that was my name. And just this past summer...... me and Fox found out that we liked (loved) eachother. Even though I was in Catholic school and he and his sister wherein the public system. I remeber the summer that just ended.
We (Fox and I) shared our first kiss while watching the re-animator. Not a romantic movie but when the mood strikes you can not help. He said that I was more brilliant and saner then Herbert West. He also said that I could be a medical examiner. I remember him saying that if was going into forensic pathology that he would want to follow in my footsteps that was a promise. As we were both gifted (geniuses) and we felt the need to kiss to see what would happen.
Well, what happened was that we fell in love with eachother. That night I remeber him and I stargazing and he said that he like the kiss and the promise. I remeber because there was a shooting star in the big dipper. We kissed again, this time holding hands.
"Well doctor Love Malone," he said.
"Yes, Fox......." I said.
"I love you."
I love you too"
That year it was unusually hot out. and we were always going swimming or watching the x-files.......ironic.
"You're more beautiful than scully." He said I was floored when he said that. I did not know what to think about this whole thing.
When the 12th grade came I was said having to be with the stuck up snobby instead of my boyfriend. But I remember him giving me some daisy.
"So lovely."
"Just like you Love."
"Huh"
"Your red hair and your sweet face," he said. "I could kiss it."
I started to giggle. But he would disappear for a month before resurfacing. When he did he was there waiting for me at my stargazing haunt. Our eyes meet. For the first something magical happened. It was also at time when both of us were being bullied. For the same damn reason, our hyperfixation on forensic pathology. That was why he had to dissappear for a month. And here I was thinking that something had happened to him that was foul play.
I remember that night because Orion was out and so were the peliades. The seven sisters. The seven sisters were our mascot for our love. We would had the tattooed but we knew better. Let's say both our parents would freak.

When I was dating Fox I was in love with him but Also having a crush on someone else. Someone in my biology class. But he was too stuck up, nor could I destroy our plans to being loving medical examiners and a couple with Fox.
But the stuck up guy, Miles was his name was in love love with me. But I tried to keep my distance from him. But then we were lab partners and that was when Miles planted one on my mouth. I was kind conflicted with my feelings. Miles was as interested in medical science as I was. I only started a forensic pathology club in school.Nd study hall, but some people made it some were thinking I was a freak and a everything. This club took place after school as i was walking past the school secretary should forward some daisy flowers and a message from Fox. It was romantic but I did not want to tell him about the qccidental kiss.
Especially when Miles called me a freak of nature and said he did not want anything to do with me or my club. What was I supposed to do not find like minded people like me.
The people in my club were my only friends other then Fox and Dana. Most if these were science geeks and misfits trying to find a life path. Most if them were girls or non binary. And they knew of the love I had for Fox. Even through he was public high school I was happy to see him in my club. We was alway talking about different autopsies That Dr G would have done on the dead.
That was when we decided to get matching tattoos incase someone Like Miles would come along. It was the seven sisters and we had each of our names on our wrists. I had Fox's name and he had mine. It was kind of nice.
But what about our parents......what would they think about this. Then Fox did not think that we're known more then just neighbors or friends. So we had a lot to explain to our parents other than the tattoos. My parents where not as strict as his was.
Why I remember his mother always coming up to my room? When we played video games, we were watching the X files when she was in a huff and dragged them down by a year even though he was 17 years old at the time.
So I was covered but what about him? What was he gonna tell his mother about his situation at the time when she would find out about the tattoo? That was something that was gonna be completely different. That was when I saw him cry for the first time.
He said that is mother had said he had to find someone else to date......which killed him. But still for a while we managed to see eachother but that our names embedded in our skin or our loyalty wad enough overcome Mrs Milton. Yes that was her name. Would we still be able to fulfill our dream for each other.
