It was hard for me to sleep at all that night. I constantly tossed and turned. Just trying to forget about what happened between me and Peter. I can't his face out of my head. It's haunting me. How sad he looked at me, and I know he only wanted to help. And I pushed him away. Just as I pushed so many away before him. Although, it never disturbed me as much like it does now. Why is it so different with Peter? Why does keeping him in the dark hurt me so bad?
I shook my head and sat up in my bed for I knew I wouldn't be able to get an ounce of sleep. I got up and put on my smooth and comfortable robe before going out onto my balcony to gaze into the night and gaze at the stars soft glow. I stare out at them, watching them twinkle and glisten in the dark lonely sky. if you look long enough it almost feels like the stars are dancing with each other. Its soothing really. I let out a deep sigh and began to hum a little tune. The very tune my mother use to sing to me. It always made me feel so close to her, but on the other hand it always saddens me when I would get to the end. Such a bittersweet. But it makes sense. After all the last time I heard this song was the night before I lost my family and everything I knew and loved.
Thoughts fill my mind as I think how a beautiful song I once cherished could be tarnished in my memories from that night. Thinking these things, I close my eyes for nothing but a moment. To my surprise when I opened my eyes something caught my eye. A flash of starlight. Could it be a falling star? Normally I wouldn't believe in such superstitions and fairytales, but maybe just this once. Maybe for this one moment all I need is a bit of hope. And so, I pressed my hands together and proceeded to close my eyes and wished upon this star.
"Please let there be a way to break from this unforgivable inhumane curse. And give me my wings of freedom at last."
I looked back up to the star with longing and desperate eyes as it reaches halfway across the sky. As if is caste out a sign that my wish has been heard it let off a brighter beam of light, but it was one for a brief of a moment. My eyes stay plastered to it afraid that even a blink would cause me to miss this mysterious wonder. At this marvelous sight I felt a sense of peace in my heart, so I tried to finally get some sleep. The moment my head hit that pillow I drifted into peaceful slumber. For the first time in so long I have had a good night's rest. I found myself beaming with energy for the upcoming day and what it might hold.
