It had been now five days, five miserable days without hearing her voice. I had spent my fourth day inside in bed, what else did I have to do? Nothing. But today, well tonight more so, I had laid in my backyard for a good hour or so starring up at the sky. What was I doing here? I was looking at the stars. The same stars I had looked at with Indie, the same exact same ones that I laid under with her and knew that I loved her with all my heart. And it hurt, it hurt in many different ways. I thought about how she couldn't see the stars, so she couldn't think of the same memory and I thought about how bright the stars were shinning and that made me think of Indie.

I decided on sitting out in the cold, damp grass after spending yesterday inside and thinking about her. I thought about the stars, so I did some research. And there are approximately 400 billon stars in the galaxy. With as many as 500 billion galaxies in the Universe, it is almost impossible to count how many stars are there in the Universe.

So really it was pointless that Indie and I bothered counting the stars, but she liked it and she believed she could count every single one, and it made her happy, so of course I did whatever made her happy.

I picked at the grass, pulling strand by strand. It was still wet, and I could feel the water seeping through my shirt. Out of all the nights, I chose this one to lay outside in the cold. Idiotic of me, really.

I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket, and my heart literally skipped a beat. I grabbed it out as fast as I could, and looked at the screen. But my heart gained it's naturally rhythm as my eyes adjusted to the light.

Text message from: Calum

Dude, Luke just bought a PS4. You've gotta come over so us guys can 'borrow' it.

I sighed loudly and sent my reply, I had seriously hoped it was Indie. Stupid Calum and stupid Luke with his stupid PS4.

I threw my phone beside my head and continued to look at the sky, it was so peaceful. I wondered what it was like to be a star, would it be still as peaceful? I was drawn away from that thought my my phone buzzed again, I groaned and turned my head to check Calum's reply.

But it wasn't Calum.

She was calling.

Indie was calling me.
