Shattered Stars by The Typewriters 13

the sun will set

the stars will rise

i see them shattered in your eyes

hanging from a cliff

brink of death

you said "don't save me there's no hope left"

want to let you go

but hold you close

if the world ends i'll miss you the most

Ashlye

Elyssa and I stop to catch our breath.

Why did we run?

I just said talking to him is bad advice! He's a murderer, okay. He'll take you down if you don't stay away from him. Just-just keep away from him. I know he seems innocent, but you didn't-you weren't there.

Where?

I notice she doesn't reply. Instead, she turns in the direction of our classroom.

Come on. We'll be late.

You still haven't told me everything.

She shakes her head. It should stay in the past. Talking about it won't bring Kyle-it can't bring him back anyway. Just take my advice, okay? Asher Summers is a psychopath. A murderer. Stay. Away.

We walk into class. I look around, and wonder what exactly they're keeping from me.

Then I realise something and clench my fists.

I'm forgetting.

It's so wrong, but I'm slowly forgetting. I don't want to, but I can't stop myself.

Kayla, please.

I'm letting go.
