Chapter 1

« maybe I finally reached one. »

Strumming my pain with his fingers

Singing my life with his words

Killing me softly with his song

Killing me softly with his song

Telling my whole life with his words

Killing me softly with his song

she casually strummed her guitar, it looked like the song belonged to her. she had long fingers and pretty hands with defined veins. they looked good wrapped around the guitar. her voice was orgasm to the ear, her voice was soft to hear. sorrow could be felt in her voice and her face. i mean, how couldn't sorrow be felt? a few days ago, she just got her heart broken. even just thinking about it was enough to make her pretty honey colored eyes to tear a bit.

she laid down on her bed, she turned on her speaker and she put a random song from her playlist. she looked at the sky, ready to tear up when she saw its pretty colors. it's been a while she felt like tearing up whenever she saw the sky. it reminded her of so many memories, each one of them was as colorful as that sky. when she closed her eyes, every emotion could be felt. tears went along her pinkish cheeks.

'Cause we could stay at home and watch the sunset

But I can't help from asking, "Are you bored yet?"

And if you're feeling lonely you should tell me

Before this ends up as another memory

Will you tell the truth so I don't have to lie?

Will you tell the truth so I don't have to lie?

she let a loud sigh when she heard the lyrics. she checked her phone, she knew she received messages but she couldn't focus on them. she didn't want to. it was 10:04pm exactly, the sky wasn't exactly light nor dark. it was the perfect time. later on, she decided to put on some blue mom jeans, a black sleeveless crop top, green Stan Smith shoes and most importantly her favorite sleeve shirt.

she went out with her skateboard. she had her earbuds in with loud music. she coud barely hear her surroundings which she really liked. she was in awe when she saw the sunset and the moon together. it was almost the perfect summer night. she really was enjoying the moment. her fingertips were supposed to feel air but for some reason, she could still feel somebody else's fingertips on hers.

she suddenly fell. it was too painful to even think about it. « damn it. » she said to herself. she didn't get up, she just stayed there as she skygazed. she raised her hand like if she was touching the sky, praying she'd reach for the stars.

I can taste it, my heart's breakin', please don't say

That you know, when you know

I can't take it, I'm inpatient, tell me baby

Now I know, you should go

at some point, it was already past eleven. she had the volume of her music to the maximum, it was an excuse not to be talked to. as she opens her eyes, someone was there, staring at her. she got startled which made her take off her earbuds. the other person was a short dark haired girl. she had some kind of edgy style, she had camo pants, a sleeveless black top, a jacket with a heavy metal band on it which actually looked a bit too big for her so you could take a wild guess: it wasn't hers. at first, the headphones girl was annoyed, she didn't like getting interrupted while listening to music but the other girl soon apologized and told her she has good taste in music as she hummed the lyrics. for some reason, her heart got softer when she heard her sing along the next lyrics which were:

I know I'll fall in love with you, baby

And that's not what I wanna do

I hope you won't ever lie to me

And if you do, I know I won't be your cry baby

after humming a bit, she started talking:

« what's your name, pretty girl... erhm... with pretty taste in music? » the pretty girl couldn't help but blush to the compliment, she didn't even dare look back at the other girl when she replied: « hum... I'm Luna. you must have good taste in music too if you listen to The Neighborhood as well. ». the short haired girl got her hair laid back by gently passing her hand through her hair, she didn't want to stop at that so she asked Luna another question: « do you come here often? » which the other girl replied to after 10 good seconds as she was lost in her thoughts: « well, I'm from here so yes... this is my usual spot. ». a silence, not an uncomfortable one though, came in. the dark haired girl broke the silence in by saying: « good. we might see each other more often then. », she soon got up and smiled at the headphones girl. she had already left and Luna couldn't help but find her odd and still feel attracted to her, she could feel excitement; she was looking forward to see her. she looked at the stars and smiled to herself: « maybe i finally reached one. »
