"But you promised..." I said quietly, truly in disbelief after hearing all that my sunshine has been going through these past months

"You promised too, jackson... I guess we were both unable to keep our promises" a sigh escaped her chapped lips, dry from all the crying

"I'm so sorry, I-I'm so sorry" was the only thing I was able to say.

I was terribly sorry that I had been the reason behind the scars that were already fading, not only on her heart, but in her precious self, too.

Being that I never once looked at her while I was locked, I never found out that some low life magazines were trying to profit off her mental issues and our broken relationship. They had pictures of her scarred arms and just now, yet another email showed up on her inbox, but this time with all her highschool background, phase from which Sunhi was still healing from, not to mention how hard these past months have been for her while I was in bed, and ignoring her existence.

I hugged her tightly against me, both of us lying on our bed, our bodies being comfort to one another

"I'm sorry" I said once again, tears rolling down my cheeks,
and again, she was the one to whipe them away.

"What was done, was done" she said in a loving tone, my head turned to look down at her

"You don't deserve this, Sunha... But don't worry, I'll handle it"

"You don't have to... It's my life after all, I just need you to support me, can you do that?" She asked, her lovely chocolatey eyes sparkling in the dim lit room

A small sad smile painted my lips, I was so proud of the woman she has grown into, even if she fell backwards not long ago, I was determined to be her support and not let her fall back, ever again.

I nodded, kissing her forehead softly "of course I can, my love"
I replied, stroking her sides gently

For a while we were both silent, just enjoying each other's presence like we used to.

But a sudden question popped on my mind, not letting me rest easy beside her

"Sunha?"
"Hmm?" She hummed in response

"Would you really love me forever?" I asked, my orbs finding her own

"Would you really breath while you're alive?" She replied, her head tilting upwards so she could stare back comfortably

"That's what it's like, asking if I'll love you forever.." she finished the sentence, a tear drop rolling down her doll like face

"And if your path goes north and mine goes south?" I asked, whiping away with my thumb the drop that fell from her eye, caressing her face gently

"I'll be sure to make our hearts go east" there was a short silence between us as she said that, both of us staring into each other's eyes, taking in every word that left the others lips, taking not a single colon for granted

"And if  people leave? Would you leave too? When no one is around, and I'm not famous anymore?"

"Then I would stay by your side, till the very day one of us dies"
"And-"

"Jackson, no matter what crosses your mind, I'll be here forever. Till we return to dust and even after that, too"

"Till we are one beautiful cloud of dust,"
"Of stardust"

She said, taking every insecurity I could dare to have, wrapping it up with the love and care only herself could offer to me.

A smile played on my lips as I processed the words she spoke; she was right, if we were each other's starlight in the past,

We were sure to be one cloud of stardust in the future

And after that, too.
