Finding A Home And Love Finding Me

Chapter 4

Guy's P.O.V.
I came clean and told her, "Star, I'm in love with you...I thought it was nothing and that it would go away, but it never went away. For the past two years, I thought of you as more than a friend." For five long painful minutes, she didn't say anything. I said "Star, please, say something, anything" as I walk towards her. She starts to put her hands up to stop me and said "Guy, please, just...I don't know what to say, I need time to think about this...alone."

And just like that, she ran off leaving me alone. I was left standing there heartbroken from how it ended. As I still stood there in shock and sadness, I started to get angry. I could feel the heat radiating from my body and I soon started to smash things around me. As I smashed whatever was in my sight, I thought 'I'm so stupid! Of course she doesn't like me and see me that way.

I shouldn't have said anything and kept my mouth shut. Now she'll probably won't talk to me again.' When I was done being angry, I slumped against the ship's wall and started to tear up. I haven't cried since our home planet was destroyed, so this was strange for me. Heartbreak sucks and I didn't know it could hurt this bad. I thought it would go differently and that she felt the same. I guess I'll just give her some space for a while...

Star's P.O.V.
After what Guy told me, I ran to my room and pushed my face into my pillow. I replayed what happened earlier in my head over and over again. I tossed and turned on my bed trying to think of something else to get it out of my mind. As I struggle, I yell out, "Why?! Why do you have these feelings for me?! Why did you tell me?! I don't even know if I feel the same...Do I?!"

After yelling I decided to try to get some sleep. A few days went by and each day was awkward and exactly how it was when we first met. A whole week without talking to my best friend killed me. I missed Guy so much, even if he is sitting next to me as we fly. Not talking to him made me feel alone and sad. I want my best friend back.

I miss talking to him and doing things to have fun together. I want to talk to him so bad but I'm scared for how he'll react to me talking to him. I know he's hurt with how I ended things with him after he confessed and I felt bad. I didn't know how to fix this so I just stayed quiet and kept to my thoughts as we flew through space. As we were flying, I thought, 'Guy I really am sorry for how I ended things with you that day. I hope you can forgive me.

I miss you.' And with that thought, I went back to focusing on flying and looking for a new home.
