This is a product of boredom, and somewhat negative emotions relating to summer, so it starts out kind of angsty…

Hilary sighed softly as she stared up at the night's sky. She realized it reminded her of him. It seemed that nowadays everything reminded her of him.
She guessed it was because she was feeling guilty. In the beginning she had thought he was one of the people out to get her friends when in reality, he was her friends' greatest protectors.
'Yeah…I'm feeling guilty…' She concluded as she sighed again. 'Why didn't I trust him in the first place…? Oh yeah…'
Hilary didn't notice that a sad smile now adorned her lips. A bittersweet memory replaying in her mind only served as a greater reminder that he was gone…and probably never coming back.
'Why do I feel like this is all my fault…?' The girl asked herself in confusion. Her eyes hardened as their gaze tore itself from the sky and landed on the ground. 'Everyone feels this is their fault…if there was only something they did, or hadn't did…maybe he would have stayed…'
Too numb to feel the tears streaming from her eyes, she looked once more the sky, only to look away again as fast as she could. She saw him…in the stars.
'Is he going to haunt me forever?' The thought had occurred to her, but the real realization had just dawned on her. 'Am I going to have him stuck in my mind forever?'
Something wet landed on her leg.
She looked down to see a tear drop stain on her exposed leg.
'Silly…that's what you get for wearing shorts…' She mentally chided herself before her thoughts, once again, drifted back to him.
Another tear slid down her numb face as she watched a shooting star waltz across the sky.
'Please…Please…' She begged silently. 'Please…bring him back to us…bring him back to me…' The tears fell thicker and faster now as the star finished its number and vanished from sight.
She heard footsteps behind her, but she didn't bother to turn around.
"Rei, I'm not coming in right now…I don't feel like it…" She called.
"Rei," asked an oh-so-familiar voice. Almost paralyzed with shock, Hilary spun around to see that her wish had come true.
"You're…you're back…" She murmured in a dazed tone.
"No…" He replied, walking closer.
"No?" She verified in a broken sounding tone of voice. He walked even closer, mystifying her. When he leaned in, she froze as his breath tickled her ear.
"I'm home…" He whispered as her eyes widened in shock.

OWARI!
If anyone wants this to be a two-shot, let me know…I think you all can guess who the "he" is…
If not, I'll definitely make this a two-shot…
Well, let me know…
