Laying in our sleeping bags that night, in my living room, I promised you that no matter what, you'd be my best friend. That you'd be the brightest star in the sky. I didn't know you were planning to die. I told you that even if we were separated, if our worlds were forced apart, I would always be able to look up at the sky, see your star, and remember. And that you could always do the same. I didn't know you had the pills in your pocket. Pointing at a star, I told you that that one was you, and I believed it. And you put your arms around me, and whispered, &quot;thank you.&quot; I didn't know you'd take it so literally. Now I'm lying on my back in the damp grass, looking up at the night sky. Alone. And it hurts, seeing, remembering. I miss you. How could you do that to me? I loved you. I promised that that star was you, and I meant it. No matter what. I see you up there, looking down on me. I hate you for leaving me. But I love you all the same. My best friend. My stargirl. I will never forget you. 2008-02-07T18:59:29Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/18580 <p>this is anazingly beautiful. i love all of your stories but this one is the best. by far.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/18580?basename=39303 2008-02-07T18:59:29Z lilly http://ficlets.com/authors/user_6077 <p>you have such a talent for writing sad stories.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/18580?basename=39002 2008-02-06T06:13:28Z Apostrophe http://ficlets.com/authors/murphyrose27 <p>Wow!
