The Arks: Over Heaven (by Ben)

Chapter 30: Love is Irrational

Part 6/6

Ben looked up at the night sky to see five shooting stars fly across the night sky. He was sitting down and had his back rested against his hut, and he smiled at the sight.

At first, Ben considered making a wish, but he decided against it.

“Someone needs that wish more than me,” Ben decided as he closed his eyes. He let out a soft groan as he cracked his neck, then stood up slowly.

He walked to the edge of his hut, peeked past his hut, and saw Neddy and Ruby sitting on top of their hut, gazing into the night sky together. He smirked at the sight, but felt some form of sadness wash over him. Regret.

He pulled back, blinking his eyes rapidly, and he felt a comforting hand on his shoulder. He looked around, but nobody was there. He heard her whispers echo around him, and soon enough a tear struck Ben’s eye, falling down silently down his cheek. Ben reached for his cheek and felt the tear run down his hand and looked at it, horrified.

More tears sprouted from his eyes, and he felt his throat clog up. He let out a sniffle as he hiccuped. His heart hurt so badly. He never got to say goodbye to her. He pulled the flower out of his pocket, an aroma overriding his senses. He could feel his vision wane…

“Okay… HIC, I just need, HIC, to find out… Why I can’t read Samuel’s eyes,” Ben muttered as he felt another memory fill his eyes.
