Whenever Matt let himself think too long about the fact that she was truly gone, something inside him twisted so violently he wanted nothing more than to hunt for Nick himself, to tear him apart with his own hands, and this felt like the perfect outlet for it.
But watching the way Sebastian carried himself now, Matt knew they might never be close again. Tonight, they would only fight to avenge someone they had both cared for and loved since childhood, and after it, it might be the end of their relationship.
Matt looked up at the sky, seeing no stars in it. It looked dull for a night sky, and he felt a huge lump form in his throat.
You're not seeing this, are you? You said you would one day become the brightest star, but there are no stars on the day you die... I shouldn't have made you believe in such bullshit, because now I'll try to look for you all over the sky too, Matt thought as he blinked repeatedly, trying to stop the sting at the back of his eyes from turning into tears.
