Nine Stars

➸ Chapter 6

"Stop the mindless wishing that things would be different. Rather than wasting time and emotional and spiritual energy in explaining why we don't have what we want, we can start to pursue other ways to get it." ― Greg Anderson

8 o' clock am

Today is the last day. I'm thinking of how would Autumn react once she finds out that I'm gonna leave her too. Who is she talking about last night? What did she do to her? What happened? Endless questions just kept on running on my mind.

My dad left early today, some sort of business trip maybe. Anyways, I cooked bacon and eggs for my breakfast. Delicious. I sat down at the table and ate my breakfast then, suddenly, i heard a knock on our front door. My eyes were so big because it was Cameron.

" What are you doing here, Cameron? " I was shocked. I didn't expect him to come here but why?

" Cass, let's talk. I know you're hiding something from me. Tell me. Tell me. Please. I'm begging you. "

" There's nothing to talk about Cameron. I said its over and that's final. " I pushed him away and closed the door. Tears started to fall from my eyes. I don't want to hurt anyone anymore. I wiped my tears away and finished my breakfast.

3 o' clock pm

I went upstairs and headed towards my parent's bedroom. It was a green and orange-colored theme room that had an infinity sign engraved at the top of the bed. Books were aligned, clothes were properly arranged and all of things are organized. I was about to leave the room when I spotted an old, vintage-colored box on the bottom of the bed. I reached for it and opened the box. All I saw were pictures of our family, but on the deeper side of the box was a cape. A black and violet colored cape. What? Who wore this? And why is this here? I was so confused but eventually wear it. Well, it kinda fits for me though but the question is, why is this cape here? Maybe a halloween costume? Or maybe a superhero? OMG! I'm acting so paranoid right now. Oh well, I better ask Dad first.

Nonetheless, I left the room and oh! there he is! Didn't knew that he would come home so early.

" hey dad! omg! you've got to see this! " I grabbed his wrist and rushed to their bedroom, raising the cape I had found.

" So dad! What is this cape for? " He was absolutely shocked because his eyes widened, and he was stuttering when he said that;

" o-oh! s-sweetie! that's nothing! c-come on, let's go downstairs! I brought you some foods. " Then he puts the cape back to the box, hiding it to the bottom of the bed and hurriedly ran downstairs. Weird. He didn't even bothered to answer the question though.

Anyways, I went downstairs and spotted my favorite food. Carbonara omg. Pasta, pasta pasta for the wiiiinnn! <3 I sat at the table and devoured my pasta. ooohhh, yummy as always.

" Cass, why did you get that cape? It's not yours. "

" Dad, i was just curious. Anyways, why do you have something like that? " And ate another spoonful of carbonara.

" It was just a halloween costume, princess. " Exactly what I had in mind! Uh-huh. After I finished eating my breakfast, I headed upstairs and opened my laptop.

I was browsing the internet and found a link that makes me curious so I opened it. It was a link about heroes way back in the old times. DS. HG. CM. GK. LM. These are some of the codenames of the heroes i found. Oh! There's a picture of CM. Wait a second. It looks exactly like the cape I saw from mom&dad's bedroom! OMG! But anyways, maybe it's just uhm, erhm i don't know. Why does it looks exactly the same? the outlines, the shades of color. WTF. Mysterious.

Nevertheless, I decided to keep it for myself and not tell anyone. Hm. I massaged the temples of my face and thinks. Loading. Loading. Still nothing coming out from my brain though. What if they were some sort of superheroes?! If that's the case, why didn't i have any powers? According to the article I read, CM's powers were flying, the ability to be invisible and super strength. And oh, she's a woman! Amazing. I wonder what her codename stands for, but it isn't indicated in the article.

In addition, I searched for the name CM and all that I found out was her powers and her costume. Woah there! CM was with LM! Wait what? Are these two couples that's why they have both M?! What?! Mindblown. I opened a new tab and searched for CM and LM, and it says that these two are a couple! OMFG! Relationship goals <3 Ahahahaha. But anyways, it just made so curious that makes me want to find out who are this two.

There is a garden in my lungs
With butterflies roaming in me

Lost butterflies are crowded in
They are wanting to be set free

The garden grew from feelings
With lovely roses you can't see

Red beautiful roses everywhere
With painful thorns stabbing me

This is the secret garden of mine
Living where my lungs should be

Maybe one day I will show you it
Because all this is suffocating me

The last day. I looked above and saw exactly scintilla nine stars shining bright at the cold night. On my hand was a cup of tea in a mug that my mom gave me. I miss her so much. I closed my eyes and wished, " I wish for a happy life and not having scars with a knife "

As i slowly opened my eyes, I once again gazed at those nine stars. Why are there only nine stars and isn't it also the last day of my wishing? Hm, seems like there are exactly nine stars for a reason. Many questions, i hope it would be answered eventually. I headed back to my room and drifted myself to sleep.
