My head lies on his shoulder, and his hand is interlocked with mine. We're lying on a blanket on the roof of his house.
"You see that star?" He points to the brightest one. "That one is special to me."
"How come?" I ask.
He smiles faintly before turning to me. "The brightest star makes me remember my loved ones," he says, poking my cheek. "You."
I look back up at the sky, and look at the brightest star. It shines as bright as my love for him. "Yeah, I get it," I whisper quietly.
Then his lips are on mine, and I feel like this is heaven. I want this as my forever.

"I'm sorry about this," he says, sheepishly scratching his hair.
"You're sorry?" I scoff. It was unbelievable.
"It's just... I didn't want to hurt your feelings!" He exclaimed.
I keep shaking my head. No, no, no. This wasn't supposed to happen.
"So you thought it would be better to just lie?" Betrayal is in my tone. It hangs over my head.
"At least tell me the whole story!" I demand.
He sighs. "My mother set me up on a date with her. Lizzie. I was going to tell you, but I figured I could just handle it and let it get ruined."
His expression turns golden, light, and happy. "But somehow in the process, I fell in love with her."
I should've known. He was so distant. He wouldn't respond to my texts or calls. He would rarely hang out with me.
But seeing him now, seeing his eyes light up with happiness because of someone who isn't me, it's just heartbreaking.
I shake my head again. And I leave his house, and go back to mine.
I cry into my pillow for a while, but as night came, I went up to the roof like we used to do. I laid down and sighed as I looked to the sky.
The brightest star loomed over my head. His star.
I'm not who he thinks of when he looks at that star anymore. He thinks of Lizzie now.
Because nothing good in my life lasts forever.
