When a mysterious noise from outside the house wakes a young teenage boy from his sleep, he begins to investigate. However, what he finds is beyond the usual. During his search for the answers he remembers a story his mother told him as a child; the tale of two young children who were taken to a place much brighter, without pain or regret, a place beyond the stars, and he knew that he was going there as well. However, he soon fears that trouble may be brewing..

A short story inspired by Iron & Wine's song Passing Afternoon. :)

Brenna was the new girl for over a year. No one looked at her and she had no friends from her school. She has Michae, who's the only one that knows that she skates when no one's around. Will shows up, she is no longer the new girl. He dives right into the social life. Everyone loves him and he's one of the best hockey players to ever step foot in their little school. When he notices Brenna her quiet life gets mixed up. She just wants him to leave her alone. Michael seems to know Will more than he lets on. Brenna just wants everything to stop and she wants a better life. Could there be more to entail for Brenna than just getting life back to normal? Will he heart play tricks on her because her mind tells it to?
