Lunar Eclipse

Not too long ago, I was standing outside with my siblings, observing the lunar eclipse. As soon as our eyes spotted the moon, we were in awe. The stars around it also did not fail to shine the brightest I have ever seen them! My neck hurt after a while of standing in the backyard, looking up. At the hours of 1AM, we were the only ones outside, talking aloud. It was pretty cool to be talking to each other while the rest of the world slept because our voices echoed out. Apparently, lunar eclipses only happen once every four years and I'm pretty happy I got to take this opportunity. Neither my sister nor I could see the moon for our windows, so we agreed to go outside. Long behold, we had the perfect, open view of the sky. It really pays off to take on opportunities like this.

This morning started of iffy. When you wake up and your phone is dead, you know the day's going to be incomplete. Since last night, I have had no idea where my charger was [I would later find out my father took it]. I went to school, hoping the love brought his charger, but as it turns out, he didn't show up at the first bell. I remember waiting for the second bell- still no sign. Every time I looked back at the band room doors open, it revealed the face of any but the one I was looking for. I asked Jae if I could text him from her phone, asking where he was. For the several times I asked her if there was a reply, I got a "no". I assumed you were sleeping or were busy. We had full band periods 1-3 and god, I felt empty without you. Just like the first day you were every absent, I can't bare to get through the day alone. I was so early to lunch..it was very weird. The emptiness I felt today was a little more than the usual. If it wasn't for the fact that we are having some pretty bad arguments lately that don't seem to be letting off any time soon...If it wasn't for the fact that an old heartbreak haunted me today, this day wouldn't have been as bad. Unable to contact you, I went without a phone all day and unaware of how you were. After school, I had play practice. I took out my iPod, trying to get signal for my free texting app, but I had trouble connecting to the band room wifi. Before I could try again, rehearsal began. I might as well have waited until I got home where I can charge my phone and BBM you for the first time today. I think only God can under stand how eager I was to charge my phone and greet you for the first time today. My mistake. Bad vibes radiated from your texts for the entire conversation. I hate this feeling of always having done something wrong in your eyes. All I wanted to do was greet you and talk to you. Instead, I received simple, idgaf texts. The feeling ain't too great so I just told you to message me when you were free. I will always hate doing that, but I hate the feelings attributed with your bitter responses, so why not let you have a good time, right? The fact that you didn't message me back until around 8:30PM proved that to me. It alway reinforced my amazement in the fact that you can literally go days without talking to me and be completely okay with it. I will never understand..
