Stargazing

Everyone has a fear, whether it be big or small. Well, my biggest fear is the moon. I’m not going to go into depth but it has prevented me from doing something all of my friends want to do, however won’t until I do too. Tonight we’re going stargazing. Tonight is also a full moon and I already know I’m going to see it.


**Small time skip. They are now at the location where they shall be stargazing.**


Breathing in deeply, I kept my eyes on the ground and started walking. Lost in thought I didn’t notice Bear slow down to walk beside me. Squeezing my hand gently, he snapped me out of the trance-like state I was in and brought me back to reality. “Don’t worry, doll.” He whispered, making sure the others didn’t hear him. “I’m here for you. Every single step of the way.” As we walked we kept our fingers intertwined and he kept reassuring me whenever he sensed I was becoming more nervous again. Soon enough we’d reached our destination. Placing our bags down, we all set out blankets and camping pillows. Bear was, as I’d hoped, next to me.


The stars were so beautiful that, after a while, I began to ignore the moon’s presence and focus only on the beauty of the stars, and Bear’s face as his pointed out different constellations and his eyes twinkled like the balls of gas we were admiring.
