Description
A WATTPAD FEATURED STORY "Do you ever think about the stars?" he asked, and I nodded gently because of course I did; I had enough time on my hands each night. "You ever think that maybe they think about us, too?" I smiled at the innocence in that because it was such a sweet thought. "I've never thought about that, no...what would they think?" He shrugged softly. "I don't know. Maybe they'd look at us the same way we look at them. They'd stare at the brightest ones, the ones that are the most visible, the ones that stand out and they'd think, 'that one's the best, or the most beautiful, or their favourite'..." he trailed off, chewing his lip again. "And then there'd be the ones like us," I continued for him, squeezing his hand. "The ones who would search for the dark spaces in between, Nash. Because we're important, too." "But why would they think that? What could possibly be so special about the spaces in between the stars?" "Because. Someday, deep in the future, those spaces will be lit up with new stars, brighter ones. And the spaces where stars once were will be empty. Things change, Nash." He glanced across at me and waited for me to go on. "Just because things seem dark right now, doesn't mean that they always will be."
