Under The Stars

The night sky illuminated with the hundreds of stars spread across its threshold. The moon almost seemed to hide from the beauty of it all. Travis looked over at Parker and she smiled at him. A small smile full of sadness. He didn't really want to leave Roscoe. For the first time in his life he had someone that he wanted to stay with. He was no longer afraid of his feelings, and when he finally gives in to them he is torn away. He looks back up at the ever growing sky. The only thing he is glad of is that he got to spend his last night with the girl he loves.

They spent a lot of their time watching the stars in silence. He didn't really know what to say. He wanted to reassure her that it would not be their last night together, but at the same time he was afraid he would be wrong. After a few more minutes he knew that he could not ignore the situation anymore. He didn't want to leave her, and he intended to do everything he could to come back. He turned over to look her in the eyes and she smiled. This time their was a little more happiness in her eyes. He kissed her gently before speaking.

"This may be the last night we have together now, but I am going to come back to Roscoe." he said with determination.

"How do you know?" Parker asked.

"Because I have something to come back for." he said smiling. She smiled back too, this time truly happy. He lied back on the grass looking at the stars once again. Parker moved closer and cuddled to his chest. He put is arms around her and smiled. He knew that it was only the last night together for now.
