Sequel: Angel Needed ›
Hero Needed
Counting Stars
Valexander's Point Of View
The stars were brighter than the street lights.
Sigh. What a petty line. There was no reason to be lying on Bat's Hill, no matter how soft the grass is. I was just wasting my time here.I knew I had to find Jose and get my friends back. There was nothing else I could do. I had to save them. I needed to be the hero. No one else could do it but me.
"Why are you such an idiot?"
I didn't need to open my eyes to know it was Ashton. I didn't want to face him. I left him so he'd hate me. So he'd hate a dead man, bot love the body in the coffin. And yet here he was. His words described what I felt.
Why was I being such an idiot? Because I wanted to make everything easier for myself. I didn't consider what everyone else might feel. This was to ease my pain, not theirs. I'm still as selfish as I was before.
"Are you going to pretend i'm not here?"
"No," I whispered breathlessly, still not looking at him. I didn't say anymore. In fact, what could I say? I left when I promised that I wouldn't.
Ashton came over to sit by me. He didn't say anything, just looked up at the sky. In a low voice, he began to sing.
"Hey, I wanna crawl out of my skin
Apologize for all my sins
All the things I should have said to you
Hey, I can't make it go away
Over and over in my brain again
All the things I should have said to you."
I remembered that song from a long time ago. Ash and I used to sing it on the way to the park. At the moment, it was the perfect song to sing. I joined in on the chorus.
"Counting stars wishing I was okay
Crashing down was my biggest mistake
I never ever ever meant to hurt you
I only did what I had to
Counting stars again."
Ashton stopped singing and looked down at me. It started raining in that moment. No, it wasn't rain. Ashton's tears were falling onto my face. I think that was the most heartbreaking moment in my entire life.
I took him into my arms and laid him down next to me. He shook and sobbed until he got it all out of his system. I couldn't believe he found me. But I was so glad he did.
Under the stars, I whispered, "I'd name a star after you. I promise I will. For your birthday."
"If we survive this," he whispered back.
Yeah...if we survived...
