 After a long slow sorrowful walk away from Tom's house, my legs finally couldn't take anymore. I collapsed down right next to a tall dark tree. I sat up leaning my back on it for support. "I mean it's not that bad, at least she's alive." Damien said trying to cheer me up. 

"Yeah, I guess you right. I just thought that when I found her she would..." I started to choke up my words.

"She would what?" Damien asked. 

"I don't know...be happy I'm here...forgive me... She looks like she completely forgot about me. I can't blame her. After all, I put her through, I would never forgive me either."

"It can't be that bad, I'm sure she still cares about you."

"No Damien, it is bad! I wasn't there when she needed me, I messed up her mind, and...I broke her heart. The look on her face right before she left is still in my mind. I see it all the time and every time I do it hurts me even more. She just looked so broken and weak, all because of me." Tears started to roll down my face and my voice got shakier as I continued to talk. "Maybe I should have never followed her. It just made everything worse. And what was I going to do take her away from here? The one place where she's actually happy. How could I ever do such a thing to her?" By now my face was red and filled with tears.

"Marco, you need to calm down. You did the best you could. When you thought Star was in danger you came after her to save her. Every second that you're outside right now, you're risking your life. The fact that a murderous monster could be roaming these streets and you still went after Star. You didn't care what happened to you, only her. Now that you know she's doing well, maybe you should start to think about you."

I've never even thought about that before...maybe Damien is right, I should think about myself. The only thing I want more than ever right now is to be with Star and I know that can't happen. What is this feeling going on right now? My head is pounding, my stomach feels empty, and my heart just aches.
