Moonlight In The Night Sky

The pain in my chest grew worse as dusk slowly turned into night. He wasn't back yet and that worried me to the point where I thought I would start crying. Where could Skyler possibly be? 

The wind outside howled against the ruffling of the leaves strung to the trees, gently whispers cascading past the window and into my ears. Moonlight fell through the curtains draped in front of the windows spread throughout the house. Tiny rain drops pattered against the roof, making me worry even more. I miss him. Skyler's been gone since 6:30 this morning and he has once called or texted me. His shift ended three hours ago, meaning it is now 11:24 p.m. I do not want my boyfriend on the streets at this hour. 

I decided to pull on my coat, house keys, and phone before heading outside and locking the door. As I carefully walked down the street, I saw this thing laying on the side of the road. Cars passed by, the lights shined on the thing and I immediately recognized Skyler's maroon coat. 

I ran over to it and kneeled in front of it, only to realize it was Skyler. Panic spread through my body as I gently turned his body, seeing blood smeared on his face and down his shirt. Tears streamed down my reddened cheeks as a strangled sob escaped my lips into the night sky. 

I shot up in bed, Skyler safely lying next to me, his arm placed around my waist. "Nathan, are you alright? What happened?" He asked me, sitting up and moving closer to me. 

"You died. You were just laying there and I couldn't do anything." Skyler lay back down, bringing me with him. My head fell on his chest, capturing his heart beat. His hand rubbed my back and my breathing became less labored. I eventually fell back asleep, watching the moonlight in the night sky.
