She put her hand up as the tears fell harder down her face, it was her fault and she knew how hard it was to admit it. She felt as if she was going to throw up, but swallowed hard. She didn't know she would be gone this long, she didn't know how heartbroken he would be. She only left because she had to, and he knew she had to. She was dying, and if she didn't sustain the life of a fallen star she soon would have perished. She sobbed for a moment as she placed her hand over her mouth. "Just.. put me in one of your sweaters, and play with my hair till I fall asleep. I am exhausted.. Please." Her last word cracked hard as the little girl became visible in the alley way where he had found her, cold and unwanted.
