Constellations [Coming Soon]

All I ever wanted was to be part of your heart,

And for us to be together, to never be apart.

No one else in the world can even compare,

You're perfect and so is this love that we share.

We have so much more than I ever thought we would,

I love you more than I ever thought I could.

I promise to give you all I have to give,

I'll do anything for you as long as I live.

In your eyes I see our present, our future and past,

By the way you look at me I know we will last.

I hope that one day you'll come to realize,

How perfect you are when seen through my eyes.

~PROLOGUE~

   "Can you see the Southern Cross, Blake?" 

   My eyes searched for my girlfriend's favourite constellation. After a moment of silence, I murmured, "Yeah, gorgeous isn't it."

   She looked away from the skies and focused on me. Her beautiful wavy locks of auburn hair was tied up into a messy hair bun and several soft wisps of hair framed her small heart shaped face. The damp grass soaked my jeans but I paid no attention to it. An almost naive smile appeared on her face as she snuggled closer to me.

   "I hope I'm more gorgeous than that constellation then!" Estella chirped, clinging to my shirt.

   I burst into fits of laughter by her comment. "Of course you are!" I exclaimed, cupping her face with my hands. "You're the most beautiful person in the whole world." 

   Our eyes locked on each other, enchanted by this very moment. I couldn't recall a day without her - she entered my life since we were kindergartners and stayed with me until now. Her cheerful, optimistic personality coaxed me out from my shell and allowed me to bask under her brilliance. I can't live without her, I thought to myself.

   We moved closer without realizing it and soon our faces were just inches from each other. I could feel her quick, shallow breathing on my face and noticed Estella parted her lips in a sensual way. I always wanted to have my first kiss with Estella and finally this day came. Closing my eyelids, I bent my neck and brushed her lips with mine.

   The softness of it stunned me but I quickly recovered from the shock and kissed her harder. She tangled her fingers in my mass of raven hair as I snaked my arms around her petite figure. No words could describe this very moment. It felt like the world vanished and there's only the two of us in this universe, sharing a kiss. 

    One of Estella's hand left my hair and started caressing my chest. I couldn't suppress the moan that left my lips as I played endless tricks with her lips. In this dimly lit place, it was nearly impossible to see the start of our entangled bodies or the end of it. And I like it that way.

   "Stop teasing me..." she mumbled, pressing herself against me.

    I was about to reply when my hands met nothing but the empty air. My eyelids shot open and saw no one. A very dark feeling forced its way through me as I yelled her name over and over again. The skies and vast plains crumbled into nothingness, leaving nothing but a dark pit. Something inside me tried to tell me that Estella isn't here anymore but I tried my best to squash that voice.

   "Give me back my Estella!" I shrieked to the silent, pitch black space.

   But she didn't came back. I wanted to escape from this nightmare but I couldn't face the real world. Even so, the nightmare collapsed and soon I found myself waking up. My stiff body protested when I stood up from the metal chair. At first, the room looked alien to me - on the brink of creepiness. 

  The white walls looked awfully familiar to me. Averting my eyes from it, I found myself looking at the almost unrecognizable figure. Different sizes of tubes and other dreadful things were attached to my girlfriend's body - as if they were draining life out of her. My heart shattered into million pieces once I noticed her hollow cheeks and pale, skinny body. 

    This is a hospital.

   My knees turned weak at the horrible sight of Estella. I kneeled on the tiled floors and tried to prevent the tears from leaving my eyes. Some of them did escape but I quickly wiped them before they stain my cheeks. Lifting my gaze to the opened window, I stared at the Southern Cross. 

   My girlfriend has cancer and it's on critical stage.
