Selene

"Adessa… ADESSA!!! ADESSA WYNN!! WAKE UP!!! THE BLUE MOON IS ALMOST OUT!!"

'AGGHHH!!! Shut up Serene. I am awake."

I opened my eyes and checked the clock. It was 21:45.

"Hurry up and get ready. I will be waiting downstairs." with that she went out of my room.

'Seriously. I wanted to sleep the whole day because of the long meeting today. How the hell are that girl still up. She had an exam today. Haahh.... Think dying right after your exam. Poor kids….'

I looked out the window of my bedroom. The moon wasn't out yet. My bedroom was at the 2 floor and one of the walls of my bedroom was made out of glass so I could see everything outside. Well I mostly saw the sky, trees and more trees because my house was surrounded by them. Luckily nobody other then me and Serene lived here so I don't complain.

I signed. 'A bunch of people will die again today.'

I didn't have to worry about me or Serene dying. I decided to not love anyone after mother's death and Selene decided the same after her parents death. Even though it difficult to not fall for someone, according to Selene not me, we are still doing great.

"ADESSA!!! HURRYYY!!! I WANT TO SEE AUNTIE, MOM AND DAD FAST!!!"

"Coming!!"

'Seriously. Can't that kid just call my phone as she normally does instead of yelling.'

I hurriedly stood up and went to change my clothes. I showered before I slept so I skipped that. After I was done I was going to go downstairs when blue light began coming into my room.

….. The moon was out ….. I looked at my palm. Suddenly I saw a blue heart. Under it it was written 100%. I sighed in relief.

'The same as before. '

Even though I was sure it would be the same, it was still a relief to confirm it.

You could only see the blue moon one time a year. It changed date every year, but in a way the government can still find out which day it would be every year. No one know how. Honestly I didn't fully trust them. They were keeping too many secrets from us.

I went downstairs. Serene was waiting by the door. When she saw me she smiled and showed me her palm. The blue heart was the same as mine, but the number under wasn't. On her palm it was written 148%.

Serene was a pretty girl. She had blue eyes that reminded me of the ocean nad short black hair. She was also very fit. Because of that many boys from her school had a crush on her and some were even in love. Selene got pieces of their heart.

"It went up. What about you?"

I showed her my palm and went outside.

She sighed.

"Adessa?? Why don't you just go to school as normal kids? You really need a better sosial life."

Serene was has always been a straight forward kid. That's one of the reasons I was even friends with her. I was more the....you could say a quiet person. Well that wasn't weird since I isolated myself from the outside world for many years. I only communicated with other people if it was related to work.

" I am not a kid, I am already 134 year old. And it's too much noise at schools. I had rather stay at home and work in the company."

Serene scoffed.

"Yeah..yeah.. boast about your age your old woman. "

We talked as we went between the trees. Unlike most people, me and Serene didn't bury our parents at a graveyard. My mom wanted to be buried her and we buried Selene parents beside her. Honestly I am glad we did it. Since everyone who dies die at the blue moon, unless you die in a accident or get killed, many people go to the graveyard to see their loved ones on the blue moon. Because of that it's always so crowd and I hate crowded places.

" At least I look younger then you."

" YOU!! HUFFF!! Not weird that you don't have any other friends then me. You meanie!!"

"I don't want any other friends then you. And beside, am I not your only friend too."

Serene seem to have calmed down. She looked at the sky and smiled. She stopped walking and looked at me while she grinned.

" Truth. None of us want to lose someone close again. And since both of us have decided to never fall in love, we are perfect for each other. Adessa, i was tinking, why don't we get merried. "

"Dream on." We gigled and began walking again.

'Hah…. This girl is really something. I wonder how we have stayed as friends... no best friends for so long. '

I have never called her my best friend. After mom's death I become scared of getting close to others. I guess I am scared that I would lose her to. And I am glad Serene understand that. It may be because she also herself is a little scared.

I just smiled at her and continued walking. This time it was quiet.

After 5 minutes of walking, we arrived. Our own graveyard surrounded by trees.

Serene first went to her parents graves and I went to mom's .

"Mom…. I am back." I smiled.

Selene's parents graves were not that close to my moms so she couldn't hear me.

" Mom. It's been 118 years since you died….. you and brother."

Later the day mom died I found out she was pregnant with my brother. When she died, my brother died too.

"Mom. I am doing well. The same for the company. I just got a new project. I was going to collaborate with Mo Empire on making virtual games, but first I will have to meet them. The meeting is next month."

I loved talking to my mom this way, even though I wish she had be here in person. I missed her so much. Her hugs, her laugh, how she would scold and then apologize, her everything.

"Ahh… mom, I begin crying again. Ha… you really are the only one I can cry for. M…mo.. mom, I…..I miss you."

I cried so hard. Soon I felt someone hug me. I wished it was mom but I knew that it was Serene.

" Hushh… everything is going to be all right. You still have me. I will always stay with you. "

I chucked. It reminded me of the first day I saw her.

It was 93 years ago on a blue moon . I was crying beside my moms grave when a girl hugged me.

" Hushh….. everything is going to be all right. You have me. I will stay with you."

That were the words the girl told me. She stayed by my side until I stopped crying. She was the first to see me cry.

After I had cried my heart out, I wondered what she was doing here. After I asked her, she panicked. She said she got lost from her parents and ended up here. I borrowed her my phone and she called her parents. I told her that they could meet at my house so that it was easier for them and they agreed. We went back to my house and on the way I got to know more about the girl.

Her name was Serene and she was 17 years old. She lived with both of her parents. Her favorite color was red and she loved rabbits. She also had a special love for food just like me.

We easily become friends and that day she stopped her body from growing.

We stayed at friends since then and not long after that her mother died. Even though her mom and dad both loved each other, her mom still loved her dad more then he loved her. That's the biggest reasons most people die young. No one loves each other as much as their partner. One of them always love the other more. Because of that that person gives more of their heart to the other and later dies.

After Serene's mom's death, her dad became depressed, and not even 4 weeks after he died in a car accident. At that time she moved in with me. Actually I forces her because I didn't want her to be alone.

Not long after the funeral she told me that she had decided to not fall in love. Earlier I stayed with her because I was thankful she was there for me, but since she decided to not fall in love, we become closer. After that we just become closer and closer until we become how we are now and I am not complaining at all.
