He came back to me, but he was with someone else. Another girl. A mortal. I don’t know her, but Christian’s her star now. He didn’t talk to me, and I stood with Kael and Edge talked and the girl stared at me. Her hair is like the sky just before it hurts. Christian moved out and it’s because of her. I’m supposed to hate Christian. Except I don’t, but he must hate me. He didn’t talk to me…he never does. I think it’s been weeks since he left, but I don’t know. Kael keeps me inside, never lets me out. When Christian left I wondered if the stars would still be there. They are, but they don’t stand out anymore. Only one does, right before the sun. It’s Christian’s. Even Edge’s star isn’t as bright. At night, I look at the stars. What would I do if they went away? I’d find something else to do, except Kael doesn’t let me do anything. He told me it was dangerous to go out. I don’t have a star with him. I met him too late, loved him to late, danced with him too late. I want to go out, to dance with him when the sun comes up. That’s one thing I miss a lot, and never realised it until now. The sun. Christian’s girl can walk in the sun. If I was here, I’d have everything I want. I want to be her. I want Christian, I want the sun, I want the sky when its light. I want it all back, but this is all there is. This is all there ever will be from now on. Someday, like the song says, I’ll have a beautiful life as a star. That’s Christian’s song. Black, like the starless sky. He gave them to her. I want them back. I want Christian back.
