Kind of a crappy sequel to Search The Stars. Let me know what you think! (and thank you to all of those who read and commented on that one!)
Find a soul
Here I am again, perched on the hilltop, on the first anniversary of Tiffany’s death. This year has been the absolute worst year of my life. And I try every day to live for Tiffany, for the strength she gave me and for the life that was stolen from her so suddenly, but it’s difficult, too difficult. Eric, my best friend, waits in the car at the bottom of the hill, knowing I like to be alone when I come to see Tiffany. I sit, staring at her headstone, with bloodshot eyes from crying all day. I look to the east and see the same star I started seeing almost a year ago, still burning brightly as ever, and I burst into tears again. I miss her so much.
It’s been three hours since I returned to the car after making sure Mike made it to the top of the hill. It’s never taken him this long to visit Tiff before, and I wonder what’s keeping him. I decide to go up and see why he hasn’t returned yet, when I reach the top of the hill, I notice he’s looking at the star in the east that he’s convinced is Tiffany, I call his name but he doesn’t respond or turn to look at me. In a panic I say his name again, then walk over and wave my hand in front of his face. He still doesn’t move. I swallow, and fearing the worst, reach down to check his wrist for a pulse and first notice he’s slightly cooler than he should be before finding he had no pulse.
The doctors said his heart just stopped beating for no apparent reason, but we all know he died of a broken heart, I could see it in his eyes the night he died. We buried Mike next to Tiffany on that hilltop, and I swear, ever since we laid him to rest, that one star, as bright as it was, has shone brighter than it used to. And as much as I love and miss him, I know he’s in a better place now with no pain to hinder him. I’m convinced now, that he was right all along, and that star is Tiffany’s. I like to think that now the two of them are together, happy as ever, maybe they finally got engaged, with God himself giving his blessings.
