{ 5. What's The Point Of Being In Love? }

What's the point of being in love?
What's the point of being with someone you can't have? 

I laid on my bedroom floor, biting at the skin surrounding my fingernails. What was he talking about? One of the most beautiful phenomena in the world...?

I get up from my position and sneak into my father's office, making sure to avoid the old piano that sits in between his office door and our dining room. 

I sit in his big chair and go to google.

Space Tornados. 

I scroll through multiple links. 

A space tornado is windstorm and is exponentially larger and more powerful than conventional on . They are also thought to produce the  aurora borealis phenomenon.

I click on the link and watch as the beautiful northern lights pop up on the screen.

"He's in love with you, you know that right?" I hear a voice say. 

I look up to meet a familiar red-head standing right in front of me. 

"W-w-who?" I asked, as  I quickly click out of my opened tabs.

"Austin, and don't bother, I can see what you're looking up through the reflection in the windows" she laughed quietly and drags a chair behind the desk to sit next to me. 

I take my hand off the mouse and leave some of the pictures opened. He was right, it is beautiful...but when he said it...did he mean that I was beautiful too...?

"He's always been in love with you, and I've always been jealous of you because of that. Even after you left...you were all that he talked about. Every morning he came early...and hoped that this would be the day you would come back" she continued.

She stared at me, waiting for an answer, before realizing that it wasn't going to happen.

She sighs and gets up, "But what's the point of being in love with someone you can't have?"
