All the Silent Stars

A story about Mia and Noah.

Noah and Mia are different. Noah never thought one day he'd fall for his sister. She was four years older than him, but they were in the same grade. His mind tells him that she cannot be the one, but his body gives in a little more every time she stands before him.

69. The stars are disappearing one by one, and only you can hear their whispers.

Stars are more than just lights in the night sky. They are the promise of a great future, the warmth of good company, and the lifetime passions that guide you.

But growing up means watching the sky change. When life gets hard, the stars start disappearing, one by one, until you can't see them anymore. You lose your friends, you lose your hope, and you lose track of the things you used to love.

Those whispers were the last signals of the good things-a faint echo left behind to eventually guide you forward.
