I Wished Upon A Star Novels & Stories

It’s beautiful, almost magical. “Wow,” I whisper, taking it all in. “This is… perfect.” Reuben smiles, his gaze warm. “I thought you’d like it.” We stand together in comfortable silence for a while, watching the stars overhead. As I gaze at the sky, I spot a shooting star and point it out to him excitedly. “Look! A shooting star! Make a wish.” I close my eyes and silently make my wish, feeling a small flutter of hope in my chest. When I open my eyes, I turn to Reuben with a smile, ready to ask him what he wished for, but the words die on my lips.

“How many wish that has been fulfilled by wishing on your shooting star?” My lips parted by his sudden question so I move my chin away from my knee before I look up. “If none, then I would rather—“ “Thrice!” I cut him off. “I got three fulfilled wishes just by wishing on a shooting star. Dad often brings me to a mountain trekking where stars fall and we’ll both wait overnight and we both wish together.” I stated with an obvious smile. “Really.” It’s not a question but a mere statement so I look at him. “Why? Don’t you believe what I said?”

Sophie rolled her eyes, but warmth bloomed in her chest. They lay back on the blanket, staring up at the vast sky. The stars were faint but visible, their soft glow battling against the city lights. Sophie found herself tracing the constellations in her mind, remembering how she used to do the same as a child, back when she thought wishes on stars actually came true. Jake’s voice broke the silence. “Did you ever do that thing where you wish on a star?” She smiled faintly. “All the time.” “And did any of them come true?”

He was gaunt, almost skeletal. He lit up faintly when he saw me. "Lydia, you came. I look terrible, don't I?" One glance at the frustrated but helpless look on Talia's face told me everything I needed to know. Wayne had been starving himself to force her hand. "Wayne, this is the last time I'll see you. Six years wasted on you is more than enough. I want no part of your life from this moment on," I said flatly. His expression crumpled, but I pressed on.

Kenji stated, "but of course it ain't like the feeling of having your real parents beside you." Hayley looked up at the clear night sky. There are so many stars she can wish on to, but, wishing on to them are for children, isn't it? It would be ridiculous for someone who knows stars are just big burning balls of gas. She was not even taught by her parents that stars can make your wishes come true. The idea was introduced to her by some book that Cristy gave her. She said it was one that Cassandra wanted to read her but things happened, Cassandra suddenly became a monster she had not hoped for.

He's the one who broke the silence. "Can we start wishing on the stars?" he asked me. Without hesitation, I nodded immediately. "Yeah, we can start now..." I replied. I put the glass of wine on the wooden table beside us. We saw a shooting star and closed our eyes instantly. Suddenly, I felt his right hand holds mine. My heart pounded. We made a wish on the stars while my heart can't stop beating so fast. When we opened our eyes, I saw him smiling at me. His handsome face greets me after we made a wish on the stars. He pressed my chin and kissed me on my lips for the second time.

"Hmm, lemme pour my own new poem for you. It's a lonely night Silently watching the heaven above that has no gap Quietly wishing it also has the small crack That is separating my heart from being one and whole The stars are getting acquainted to each other Helping the other twinkle And I wish they'd look down at me and flicker the dying Light in my soul and bring it back to life Still watching as the old dry palm branch shaped moon Slowly drifts down to the appointed term Letting the sun take it's place brightly in the sky Blanketing the world with it's brightness except for my dying soul If only my wishes will be granted And moving on is as easy as writing it down in a whole book I would li

“ The night grows The wind blows Unseen stars from windows Tamed heights Untrained eyes see hope in city lights. But my soul longs for starlights with you by my side. When I look at the city lights from my window, I wish you were here by my side.” I lowly recite the poem while thinking of my mom and dad. They have no contacted me in a while ; this scares me a bit. In fact , every time they leave I can not help but worry about them ; thinking if this would be the trip that they would not return from. I know , I know these are really negative thoughts but after hearing their thrilling yet near death experiences scares a child. I can not stop them working , all I can do is pray and have faith t

Running under the stars with Nadia felt so good. We were finally free to be happy. “This is so beautiful.” Nadia rested her head on her paws as we watched the stars. A shooting star streaked across the sky, making her close her eyes and make a wish. “I wish I could always feel this way with Adam.” I could hear her wish, but I kept it to myself. “Did you make a wish?” I asked instead. “Yeah, I did.” “I hope it comes true.”

While it was usually Yvie's cooking that quietly awaited me every day, I'd surprise her with my cooking on occasion when I had the time. As time passed, I thought life was good, and I didn't want to disappoint her. Hence, I prepared to propose on her birthday, buying her favorite cake and a set of jewelry. The candlelights were glowing when I turned off the lights, and Yvie's eyes sparkled beautifully, making her look like a luminous angel against the darkness.
