My Little brother

Shooting Stars

I walked along the road. Thoughts and feelings were spinning in my head. I felt sick and dizzy. It happened almost a year ago, but still it feels like it was yesterday... My eyes were sore, but I knew I could cry for years without anything being better. I walked out on a plane, laid down on the cold earth with my head on my backpack and my jacket cuddly around me. How I wish everything had been a dream. Tears were flowing and everything went blurry...

I opened my eyes and noticed the stars on the dark night sky. It was night! I looked around. The streets were empty and the streetlights were flickering. I knew I should have gone home, but I couldn't manage. Instead I focused on a the stars above me. Maybe he was up there? Memories were floating around in my head and I could hear his voice beside me. "Do you see the two stars up there? That's us". I looked at the star now bearing my name and it fell from the sky and became a shooting star. I could feel how much I wanted Marcus back again.

"Oh my God, where have you been?" my mom asked when I got home. Her eyes where glaced over and her voice was shaking. "I was afraid I had lost..." . I hugged her while weeping into her shoulder. "No mom, I'm here. You won't lose me too!"
