I pace back in fourth in my bedroom. I felt like crumbling into a pit of fire. I was stressing out about my math test I was born to fail. My life dreads on math. My insomnia drove me insane. I bite nervously into my bottom lip. I know there's there is going to be chapped, bleeding, and bruised lips.

I trip over a dirty converse and fell onto my bed. I just lay there looking at the glow in the dark stars on my black ceiling.

It was 11:37 at night. It was a late autumn night. No one was awake in my house. Just me and my sad life no one knew I was going through.

My hands worked its way to the contacts and pressed a name.

"Hello?" Her voice rings in my ear. I smile reached my lips.

"Hey." I finally speak.

My heart clenches as she speaks to me. Her voice was soothing. It was calm and collected. The waves capturing a beautiful sunset had no comparison to her.

"Want to meet me at a place?" I wait impatiently for an answer.

"Isn't it a little late?" She answers unsurely.

"I can't sleep." I answer quietly.

"Sure." She yawns into the phone.

"No, no you sleep." I didn't want to seem selfish for my needs.

"I can't sleep either." I hear her shuffle on the other end.

"I'll pick you up." I then end the conversation and slip into my warm weather clothing.

The car ride was simple and quiet. The rustle of the wind and my car motor were the only sounds.

"Where are we going?" Her voice was small and so fragile. I could just crush it.

"A place where I like to circulate my thoughts." I turn a corner and a lake comes into view.

"You're not killing me are you?" She gripped the seat tight.

I laugh it off.

"No." I stop the car and jump out.

"You're too pretty to hurt." I whisper so only I could hear myself.

I lay a blanket on the grass and lay down. I folded my arms under my head for support and relaxed looking at the twinkling stars. She lays besides me and looks at the stars also.

It was quiet for awhile. No one spoke. Just the wind and the cars coming by every now and then.

"Wanna know a secret?" I break the silence in the crisp air.

She shakes her head slowly. She shifts her body so she was looking right at me.

"I like the moon. Most people love stars, but the moon. It's bright and it brings hope to me." I smile thinking of the memories of my dad and I.

My dad died when I was eleven and my older brother Dakota was fifteen. My little sitter, Jade and Emerald were only two at the time. They didn't know much that was going on.

Life's been hard without him. I think about him most of the time. That's why I stay away from the world a lot. I like it just being me in my thoughts.

"I wonder about- out there." I point to a star that was illuminating the sky.

"It's so-" I pause for a moment to think of great word

"Fascinating?" She answers for me.

"Yeah. It's really fascinating." I smile and turns my head towards her.

"Wanna know a secret?" she whispers into the wind.

"Yeah sure." I stare straight into her dark, doe eyes.

"I think I like the color blue now." She turns her back up again and wanders into the night. Not her whole self, but her mind.

I turn back around also and think about that "secret" of hers.

As she's memorized by the stars, I'm memorized by her beauty.
