In The Stars

Chapter 46

     My parents had a huge funeral when they died. They apparently knew a lot of people who actually liked them. That's more than I can say for myself.

     While a lot of people showed, very few people got up and spoke.

     My parents never spoke about any other family relatives and when ever I asked they just replied with a simple "there dead" so as you can imagine I was the only blood relative.

     Surprisingly, my doctor came up to speak. Then again, my mother and myself were very common visitors there.

     A few other people spoke that I recognized vaguely. A few from father's work. One or two I saw mother talking with and me. That was about it.

     That's about the only loss I've ever had. That day wasn't that much mourning though I still asked to bury the bodies by our house. I knew it's what they would of wanted.

     Sometimes I wonder what my funeral will be like. I assume not a lot of people will show like they did my parents. Just a few of my teachers, doctors, people who pitied me. Those kind of people.

     Though I fear my funeral will come all too quickly.

     I placed my hands over my eyes so that they covered my face. Tears streamed down my face and into my cupped hands.

     I seriously messed up this time. And now I can't fix it. I regret it. I regret everything I've ever done. Now I was going to die and so would Masai.

     Tristan was still, watching me from a couple feet away as I silently cried to myself.

     "I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry. This is all my fault. All my fault," I said quietly through my tears.

     I wasn't all that sure of who I was apologizing to.

     To Masai, who would be dead in a few seconds. To myself, who would die alongside the one I love. Or to Tristan, who had to watch his best friend died. All I know is that I was sorry. Really sorry.

     "I... I'm sorry. I'm sor..."

     "Kai."

     I froze. That voice. Could it be?

     I pulled my hands away from my face. Instantly I saw a pair of ocean blue eyes staring at me intently.

     A small smile appeared on my lips. More tears built up in my eyes as I saw who was in front of me.

     Masai.

     "I'm sorry. I promise I'll never..." Masai cut me off by gentle pulling me closer to him and placing his lips on my own.

     My eyes widened with surprise as he did it but soon enough I found myself kissing him back.

     We stayed like that for a few seconds. And I loved it. There's nothing I want more than to be here with Masai.

     Me and Masai pulled away. A huge smile was plastered on my face as I looked at him.

     "I love you" I muttered under my breath, just loud enough for Masai to hear.
