Wish Upon a Shooting Star

There once was a little girl who believed in wishes. She always wished for her Prince Charming upon every shooting star. As the years passed, she began to question shooting stars and soon she stopped wishing. One night while the girl sat in her room crying she saw a shooting star and decided to make one last wish to find her true love and to stop being so sad. A couple days later the girl almost killed herself but she just couldn't. Something was holding her here on this little planet and soon she would find out what it was. The girl was in a play where she could act like a different person and no one could question it and she soon found a guy who caught her eye. Of course she thought nothing of such a petty crush until one day he started to talk to her. After about a week of talking to him she started to believe in shooting stars again. She started to become a little bit happier and her bad days stated to become fewer. This guy had changed this girls life for the better because if he had never talked to her she would be no more, because this girl hated life and almost ended it. The boy never knew about all the times she cried herself to sleep or wished that she would never wake up. As the two grew up they were still madly in love but the girl still kept her secret of all the wishes of death, the boy never noticed anything until late one night when he found her crying on the floor. That night the girl told him everything and he swore to never let go of her as long as they live. The girl smiled and for the first time in a long time the smile was real and it reached her eyes. A little while after this the boy and girl grew distant, then one day the girl realized that the boy was not all she thought he was so she ended it between them. Some time after that the girl learned that all those years she had wished for someone else to love her, she then realized that it is her love that she needs before she can ever find the love of another.
