2 years later.
I’m on the beach, hands pillowing my head as the rhythmic
sound of the waves drown out my thoughts. I look at the stars and remember
Wren.
If a star fell for every time I thought of you, the sky
would be empty.
Imogen and Wren’s mother organised his funeral 2 days after
the police came to Imogen’s house. They found Wren in the same clothes I’d
found him skating in the other day. He was bloated and blue. The sight was
heart breaking and Imogen collapsed onto the ground crying. I stood next to
her, crying quietly.
Since Wren’s funeral, a lot of things happened. Luke and I
cancelled our wedding and Imogen lived a single life (up until now,
surprisingly).
I’ve been coming here for the past year, on the 17th
of September. Wren will always be with me, a part of me.
I can feel my eyes watering and I wipe them away before they
fall onto my cheek. I smile. Wren will always be a part of the sea. With the
rhythmic waves and the calming sea.
And always, always, one with the stars.
-End.

Even I find it sad. Amazing, isn't it? How a story can do so much to you?
