“The space between the stars… what would you call it?” She asked, hand streatched out towards the stars as if she could reach out and grab them. The night was dark, almost pitch black, Exept for the stars that shone brightly illuminating the rolling hills.

“I don’t know,” he answered, she giggled at that.

Her voice echoing in the quiet night air.

“Come on silly, you don’t have to think so hard.”

“It’s a complicated question,” he told her defensively, she just laughed.

He smiled and hugged her close. He would be happy to stay here forever as long as she was here.

“The sta…rs” she grasped out, her hand tentatively reaching out towards the open sky.

“The stars? What about the stars” He pleaded grasping her pale shaking hand.

“You promise to ans…wer me this time…”

“Answer what?”

“Prom…is me”

“I promise”

“What would you…call…the place…between the star…s?”

“You silly this isn’t the time for that” he cried, Tears moistening his eyes and running down his cheeks, he held limp bleeding body close to his chest.

She was pale, too pale, her voice shaky with pain. He pushed on her wound. Blood running over his fingers. But it was no use, she was too far gone.

“I love you.” He wispered

“The…question?” She asked again her voice thin. He wanted to give her an answer but his mind was blank. Blank. Blank. Blank.

“I-I-I don’t know”

“Some….da…y you’ll….kn…ow“ She closed her eyes and took in a deep shuttering breath. A breath that would never be released. She was gone, He looked at his hand wet with blood. He thought he knew now. In a word without her. It was nothing. A Void.
