My Best Friends Brother and Starry Romance

Part 5

[Here's part 5 :)]

It had been two months at least since I had last seen Star she said she needed to be away. Lilly got hitched a month ago to Ben they left a couple weeks ago once Ben got time off from work to go on their honey moon.  Star was in Paris, Lilly and Ben in Chicago and I’m at home nothing exciting at all. I look at my phone nothing I hadn’t gotten a text in four days and I was going insane.  I spent most of my time after work at a nearby diner on the computer mainly on Facebook, Star’s profile hadn’t been touched since last night… My heart sank down deep.

Starlight  McAllen- ‘Things will come in time, and now I’ve found it. My prince on the white horse came and now I’ll be his Queen for life <3’ 16 likes. What was this? She’s getting married to some other guy? I sat back in my chair feeling my heart hurt more and more, I couldn’t breathe right I collapsed off of my chair trying to catch my breath I felt so weak, why would she do this? I had to talk to someone anyone I dialed Daniel

“Hello?”

“Dan it’s Charles” I tried to not sound so girly

“What’s up man?” His voice was happy

“Did you know Starlight was getting married?” there was a silent moment not helping at all with how I felt inside.

“I’m sorry man, she called me several days ago asking if I’d approve of this guy..” he sounded disappointed

“Am I not good enough for her anymore? Who is he?” I felt anger flood through me.

“She loves you Charles, she just felt you deserved someone different but that she’d be there for you always. His name is Taio Marshal he’s not from Paris he’s from London apparently. Talk to you soon okay?” I hung up and quickly typed in his name, it showed a picture of him with her his black hair waved and his eyes green arms around Starlight her image changed her hair no longer brown but blonde with slight hints of brown and her smile seemed placed. I punched the wall making a big dent in it feeling lost and confused what the hell was going on here?

STARLIGHT:

                My head laid on his chest him running his fingers through my hair while I listened to his heartbeat. “I Love You Star” he whispered his voice so deep and wonderful “I Love You Too Taio” I looked up at him and kissed his prickly face. But deep in the back of my head said “Charles” it sometimes felt so wrong to be even near Taio but it felt right too. Him and I agreed on a small wedding with our closest friends and family basically and it was going to be in the next 6 months hopefully if he can get time off work and if I can manage to get out too. I noticed my phone light up again for the 10th time already today ‘Charles’ I hit ignore and went back to laying on my future hubby “You should really talk to him Starlight” Taio’s voice sounded deep and considerate “You know you are like the most amazing man on earth right?” he smiled “Call him Starlight I know you love him still but I know that you love me also and want to spend your life with me” I sighed and got up to walk onto his apartment balcony I hit dial and listened to it ring twice before he answered making my heart ache and jump “Hey Charles”

“Oh hey Star” his voice sounded pained and lost “Um how’s things going?” I tried to avoid any question related to Taio and I “It’s boring since you’re in Paris and Ben and Lilly are in Chicago living it up, how about you?” his voice cracked he always did that before he cried “Um pretty good…”

“I know about Taio Star…” he cracked again “Listen Charles…” he cut me off “No listen to me Star, you know I’ll always love you and I know you’ll love me too. It just hurts to think about you getting married to another man after everything we’ve been through together. I’ll be there at your wedding I’ll always be there in the wings waiting for you if you ever need me.”   I noticed tears falling from my eyes and suddenly my heart broke and I couldn’t breathe “I’m so sorry Charles I should have told you” I hung up avoiding anymore heartache, I collapsed on my butt crying Taio coming out to comfort me “It’ll be okay Star it’ll be okay in the end…” For his sakes I hope so because I don’t know how much longer I can live with this guilt and pain inside me.
