Galactie Orbis^^

•••••
My eyes slowly fluttered open, and it was still in the middle of moon out. I slowly got out of my lonely bed, and walked out the door. All I wanted to do was get away. It was pretty lonely in the Control Center.

I snuck into the hallway, and slowly tucked my feet into my slippers. I had no idea what I was doing up so late, but I did it every moon out, and it seemed to be comforting to me.

I went into the Orb room, and as I approached the orb, I knew exactly who I wanted to contact at so late in moon out.

I placed my pale slender fingers on the round object, and waited for it to reboot to life.

"Who do you wish to contact?" The automatic voice asked. A small smile crept to my lips, and I sighed.

"Polaris." I curtly said, my heart fluttering at the mention of his name.

"Contacting Polaris." It automatically replied, and worked it's thing.

Actually, I lied. I knew exactly why I was always up at this time of the moon out. I wanted to hear his voice. It was like a soothing rhythm filled with emotion and hurt, but covered up by his ever lasting smiles. After ringing a few times, he finally picked up, and he immediately smiled at me, as if his lips were programmed to lighten up at the sight of me.

"El, Hey" he said, and I smiled at him too. His voice was just something I needed to hear every moon out to escape the nightmares.

"Polaris, how is it over there?" I asked, almost breaking down in tears in front of him.

"Oh, it's alright, except for the fact that I'm literally sleeping on the same battlefield your ancestors first fought. It's very beautiful, and I would visit here often, if so much bloodshed and anguish wasn't in the roots." He replied, and chuckled.

"I'm doing okay, El. How are you?" He asked, a smile of caring crossing his face.

"I–" I began to answer, but he cut me off.

He held up a finger, and kissed the orb. "I know you can't feel the kiss, but it's something. I love you, El. So be honest with me. I'm your boyfriend, there's no need to hide anything from me."

And it was as if a switch had flicked in me, because I began to cry.

"Oh, El." he said in pity.

"It's.... my fault. All my fault your life is in danger. My fault that you're not sure if you'll wake up the next morning. All my fault you're over there, facing all that trauma, and have the burden of looking over your back constantly, incase someone is following you. All my fault that.... you're not by my side anymore." I said through hiccups, trying really hard to hold the tears back.

"Why aren't you telling me to stop crying?" I asked, sniffing.

"Because then you'll just hold everything in again. Sometimes, it's better to let everything out so that weights are lifted off your shoulders." He said, with so much love in his voice, I almost melted.

"Now, no more of this self loathing, it's quite depressing. And it's none of your fault I'm here. It's your ancestors' faults." He said, and I could finally stop the tears.

"I... I really want to see you. I miss you. So much. So much. You have no idea." I said to him, and looked up at him through the orb.

"When is your next visit?" I asked enthusiastically.

"Just three more months, love." He said, using his nickname for me, and I fell in love all over again.

"Three months. Okay. I can manage that." I said, taking in a deep breath and letting it out.

"That's my girl. Now, I need some sleep. I have first lookout first sign of sun out tomorrow. Promise me, no more self loathing?" He asked, placing his fingers on the orb.

I heaved a sigh. "Promise." I said, adjusting my hair out of my face.

"I love you so much, you have no idea." He said, and patiently waited for me to say it back.

But I couldn't. After one whole year of dating Polaris, I found it hard to tell him that I loved him. I didn't believe in love.

"Okay." I simply said, and he sighed.

"Still struggling to say it?, it's just three words, Elite." He said, shrugging.

"It means a lot to me. Look where ancestors' love have us now." I said emphasizing the word, love.

"We're not them." He said, shaking his head.

"Bye, Polaris." I said, and his face fell. I hurt him. I was always going to hurt him. He should leave while he still can. I've told him that time and time again, but every time I told him that, he would wrap his legs and arms around me, and say, "How could I leave when I'm emotionally and literally stuck to you?"

"Sorry, Polaris." I said, but he shook his head.

"It's fine. I understand. Bye." He said, then switched his orb off before I could say bye back.

Once again, I burst into tears. Self loathing was the only thing I could turn to, when everyone leaves.

A/N

Polaris is Elite's boyfriend, but unfortunately, he was drafted into the Galactie war. He's currently still at the battlefield, fighting for the well-being of Galactie Orbis, and no matter how much Elite protested it, it was required of him.

Galactites are just like people. They see, hear, feel, bleed, cry, they have hearts, they feel emotion, they can love, and so much more. They are NOT ROBOTS, just some type of aliens with human qualities.

The orb is like a phone for the Galactites. It's kind of like a phone, except it's sphere shaped, shrinks in size so it can be carried around easily, and everybody has one. Just like how you video call or face time on your phone, the orb works the same way. That's why Elite couldn't feel the kiss Polaris gave her.

The Control Center is just like a palace for Elite, except it also controls some things that I haven't decided yet, but it's where Elite and The Panel resides. The Panel is like a board of the most wisest Galactites in Galactie Orbis, made of seven people, four males, and three females, all there to guide Elite with her decisions, so she would decide carefully. Everybody is allowed and required to put their word in for Elite's decision making only DURING a meeting, none of them are allowed to have any conversations with her, or anything type of contact with her, before or after any meetings, so her decisions are not influenced.

Hope this clears up any sort of confusion for anyone. You can keep reading now. Love you, and thanks for checking my book out.
