Just An Option
By: NightShiningArmorr

We're walking up to the hill because he said he has something to show me here. I'm excited to see it

"Here we are," he said as I looked at my sides then I shift my eyes into the night sky, I stopped

My eyes got widen when I saw this memorable thing I ever seen

We have the perfect view for watching this thing

The pure black night sky covered by a thousand stars shining up above and quick glances of shooting stars

As I watch this beautiful view, my eyes got blurred because my joyful tears pouring out of my eyes

I closed my eyes and feel this moment and the cold breezes touched my skin

I inhaled the fresh air nature brings to us

"Why are you crying?" He confusedly asked me and I opened my eyes and I just smiled at him

"I'm just happy" I answered "it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen" I chuckled

"Then take a picture of this scene now," he told me but I just shook my head and smiled

"Nah, I would more like to memorize it in my mind," I said to him

"Why? It's better to picture it so you can see it every day" he asked

"Because a picture is just a temporary memory while true memory is permanent, you may not remember it but it stays inside you...."

"Sion" I called him

"Hmm?" He hummed as an answer

I immediately hugged him, he was shocked at my actions

"Thank you" I smiled, he looked at me confusedly

"For what?" He asked me confusedly

"For bringing me here" I answered "It's my first time seeing this beautiful view since I'm always busy all day and all night, and I don't have time to enjoy something kind like this" I continued and looked at him with a smile

I removed my arms from hugging him and stepped a few steps without removing my stare at him

I saw in his eyes that he surprised but with a hint of guiltiness I just ignored it, he looked away as I brought my eyes back to the stars

"Ahm Celes?" He called me

"Yeah?" I faced him with a smile

"Ahm actually this trip is for me and Carryle but she already had a plan today and since she refused I asked you if you're interested so yeah," he told me

My smile faded after he told me the truth but I immediately force myself to smile while I secretly bitting my lower lips and trying myself don't cry

"I'm so sorry Celes" he apologized

"No need to apologize Sion it's fine... really," I told him with a smile

His words keep repeating in my mind, I bitterly laugh mentally

For me and Carryle

I bit harder my lower lip at that line

Since she refused I asked you

Now I'm not crying tears of joy anymore because I know that one of my tears is a tear of pain

I thought he planned this for both of us but I think it's only me who assumed that much...

No one would choose me first...

I'm just an option
