“I saw a shooting star and thought of you.” [ have a random meme bc perfection ]
The beauty of this certain astronomical phenomenon would captivate anyone, —elena herself included. But, she genuinely wondered what caused him to think of her? A wandering thought, perhaps? For the fact that she was no one. A girl named Elena Gilbert, with a compassionate heart. That was all she had. —Those falling stars weren’t only beautiful, they could grant someone’s wish. And Elena? What she brought was chaos. Oh, how she wished to be one of them. A shooting star would appear briefly, for mere seconds but it had a purpose, as how people believed. To make a wish come true.
A slight disbelief adorned her soft features, her lips graced with a warm, gentle smile. Certainly, she felt flattered by his words but did she deserve it? No. With him thinking of her, he had missed a chance for his wish to come true. The smile on her lips widened while she shook her head, expressing a disapproval over his earlier statement. —For whatever reason why he had a thought of her, it was not right. Not what would Elena wanted him to do.
❝ You shouldn’t. —You should’ve think about yourself and to wish upon them, Elijah. That’s how it works, isn’t it? Won’t work if you think of someone else, ..not me, obviously. ❞
Maybe, —maybe when it would be her turn to see a shooting star, she would think of Elijah. To wish him happiness, because whether he’s a human, or a vampire, let alone the one of the oldest vampire, he deserved happiness. Everyone does. That was the purpose to keep on living, to hope that someday they would find a shred of happiness. A soft chuckle emerged from the brunette’s lips as her gaze averted away from him, —gazing longingly upon the sky instead. Next time, when it came to the moment for her to witness a shooting star, she would remember this moment, his words, —and to wish for him.
❝ But.. I wish I’m one of the shooting star. That way, I can grant your wish. For you to have some happiness. ❞
