They Sleep Under The Same Stars

the magical night

I was laying down on my bed straight looking at the my fan, I was over thinking shit. As soon as I thought of sleeping for sometime ,  Christane knocked at my rooms door. "Heyyy Jadey can I come in?".
Christane was Anny's stepbrother and a very good friend of mine. He was a tall guy with an impressive built, he had huge eyes just like Anny, and was a Blondie. I liked Christane alot as a friend, he has always been there for me. He was an optimistic soul, and probably I got that trait from him. Unlike Anny Christane used to understand me, he was similar to me in many ways and that could be the reason. I was never uncomfortable around him I was able to  share anything with him without hesitating. He was the best advisor for me, and I was glad he's here I really needed him at this point.
" Hey Chris im so happy you're here oh god come sit I have to tell you alot of things I dont know what to do I don't know I should go or not what should I do pleasee help me bro please". I was literally whining.
"Jadey Jadey calm down my darling what happened? where do you have to go? what are you talking about?" He asked calmly.
" Okay so I'll tell you one by one there's this guy I like I don't know why its weird we've met only twice that too accidentally but I feel something for him" I blushed.
"Oh yey wasn't expecting this from Jade Grey! go on" he said in excitement.
" Ya so today we met in a library and he asked me to meet him in the park we've met yesterday, I really don't know why this is making me nervous I mean why me?" I blabbered in stress.
"What did he say exactly?" He questioned.
" He said that he feels alone there everyday and he thought I also go there everyday and he was like im engrossing.." I continued.
" He said he feels alone and you're engrossing? Is he desperate or what?" He blurted.
"I don't know man yesterday he was crying sitting near a tree" I murmured.
"Oh. What's is name by the way"? He asked.
"Austin parker" I replied.
"Wait what! Austin Parker? My best friends name is Austin Parker too" he said in a confused manner.
" Don't tell me he's your friend" I glared at him.
"Wait a minute" he Murmured and took out his phone and showed me a photograph "is he that guy?" He asked.
It was his photograph,. Austin's photograph I was shocked. That was a picture if Christane and him smiling. They looked so happy and the surprising part was that Austin didn't look sad in that picture.
"Yeah he's the guy I met" I mumbled.
"Oh fuck Jade, hes my bestfriend, and he recently broke up with his girlfriend, he's not attending any calls he's not meeting anybody not a single soul, I went to his house but he was not there you know It's been a month" he grumbled.
"Oh shit really? So why does he want to meet me a complete stranger, and he broke up one month ago or what? Who's that girl what happened between them? I asked eagerly.
"Rhea James, she's elder than you, they both broke up last month he caught her cheating. You know what we all warned Austin about her behavior I had wrong intuitions before itself but that guy loved her alot" he shrieked.
"Should I go meet him?" I asked.
"Yea you should go im worried about him" he assured me.
"Okay fine. For now I'll sleep for sometime" I declared.

My mom woke me up at 11:30 am, and then I went psycho. "I had to go meet someone why didn't you wake me up early, oh god im so late now" I shouted.
I went straight to the washroom and took a quick shower. Now I had to decide what to wear, and then Emily and Anny entered.
"Where are you going Jade, you have a date or what? Emily said in a teasing manner.
"Aha no don't you know Emi Jade hates all this. Shes a lesbian most probably." Anny joked.
"No babes I have to go meet a guy today and also im not a lesbian and now please help me in deciding an outfit" I shouted.
"Okayy and you didn't tell us Jade thats so rude how dare you, who's he tell us about him" they asked excitedly.
"Im late will you guys shut up and help" I said in an annoyed tone.
"Okay fine so honey follow my guidelines, don't overdo anything, don't wear something tacky play on the safer side and don't you dare wear your weird tulip top." Emily exclaimed.
"Okay fine nevermind I'll just wear my tank top and leave byee guys" I hurried.
I didn't hear what they said after that and I really didn't care I took my mom's car and drove till that park near the movie hall.

It was a creepy night and Austin was sitting near that same tree looking at the sky.
He was wearing a loose tshirt and black jeans. His hair looked crazy, as if they haven't been combed.
" Hey" I was trying to act normal.
"Oh hey Jade come sit I thought you'll not come" he whispered.
"And why did you thought so" I asked.
"Because I myself felt like a creep lol but I really wanted to know you you're intersting" he grinned
I laughed "no you're not a creep I know by the way why do you come here everyday?"
He laid down in the grass and said " because I like staying alone here those stars are my escape from life escape from people..shitty people."
I laid down beside him on the ground I couldn't help it, I wanted a better look of the sky. "You Know what, I love stars, for me they can't be anybody's escape from life or people, they are the twinkling hopes, that everything is gonna be fine. You Know they're so far away from us, but they still make us happy we like how they shine they give us pleasure, peace and alot more and that's the thing I like about them." I sighed.
I didn't know why I was telling him all this I've never told anybody about what I think deep inside.
He looked at me and smiled "you're such an optimistic person" he said.
I smiled and silence filled the air around us, we both kept quiet for a long time but it wasn't awkward at all, it was like we understood each other and we didn't need words to express so.

He came close to me and turned towards me.
He rested his arms around my waist. I felt a rush of anxiety growing inside me. 
I was staring him in a blank manner, and suddenly his lips met mine, he kissed me softly and I started to feel breathless in a new fascinating way, I closed my eyes and it felt like the time has stopped just for us.
