Dear Bierko, I still remember the day when we met. I was in high school and was making my way to the library when I ran into you. I fell flat on my back. That was the first time I looked into your eyes. Then when you took my hand we both felt a shock between us that started everything. The next day you told me I was the Charmer, and you asked me to help fight Ambrose and his minions, who wanted to control the world and through it into destruction. We came closer and closer together until we fell in love. Through all the challenges and all the obstacles we stayed together, but then disaster struck, you went missing. I was devastated and did everything I could to find you, but when I did you had turned against me, poisoned by Ambrose’s magic. No matter what I did you wouldn’t come back to me and I fell into sadness. Dante came to my aid and pulled me free of the darkness I had fallen into. He comforted me when no one else would. I never gave up on you Bierko… but I fell in love with him. After you were free of Ambrose’s control you had changed. You weren’t the same man I fell in love with. You became lost and depressed and nothing I did could pull you from it. My love wasn’t strong enough to save us. It’s hard for me to choose between you two but I feel I must. Because of past events I have chosen Dante, he brought me back from a place I thought I would never recover from and gave me a reason to carry on. I will never forget everything that we have been through and I will always love you. Please know that this is something I must do and I had to follow my heart. I hope that someday you will be able to understand my decision and continue on with your life.
Love Always, Sky

I had to read it to a group in creative writing and I felt like crying as I read it out loud.

Ladybug I saw the ladybug land softly on my hand and watched it as it took off and buzzed around until finally landing on his hand. That’s when our eyes met. I felt a warm shiver go down my spine. It was one of those shivers you get when something feels too amazing for words. Before then I would have never believed in the phrase ‘love at first sight’. I don’t know how long I stared into his deep green eyes, but once I realized it I felt the blood run to my cheeks and looked quickly down at my hands. I felt a sudden rush of cold as I looked down, the feeling of being alone and never seeing those wonderful eyes again. I slowly looked up again and found him standing, his eyes still watching me. He moved very casually over to my table and then smiled. “Would you like to dance?” He asked in a low, soothing voice. I couldn’t speak for a moment, to stunned by his smile and voice. “I… I would love to,” I said just above a whisper. I stood up a little to fast catching my foot on my dress and fell side ways into him. His warm arms wrapped around me and steadied me. “I’m sorry, I’m so clumsy sometimes,” I laughed weakly looking at the ground. He laughed and I lifted my head up to stare into his eyes once again. He took my hand and led me out onto the dance floor. A slow, romantic song began to play and I put my arms around his neck and he put his around my waist. Time flew by as we continued to dance, song after song, until the DJ announced that the dance was coming to an end. I could feel the sadness fill my eyes. I didn’t want leave the comfort of his arms. He took my hand and led me to my table where I grabbed my purse. Then we slowly followed the others into the parking lot. Once we were to my car he turned to me and looked into my eyes. “I don’t want to leave,” I said softly still staring into his eyes. “Don’t worry, you’ll see me again,” He said pulling a piece of paper from his pocket and putting it into my hand. He smiled and lifted my hand up to his lips kissing it, never taking his eyes off of me. My heart fluttered. “See you soon,” He said then released me and walked away towards his car. I stood there for a moment as if in a daydream then I slowly got into my car and went home. I remembered about the note as I dressed for bed. I pulled the note from my purse and read: Riley, You may not remember me and that is understandable, it has been three years. From the very moment I first saw you I knew that you were special. Fifth grade in Mrs. Kim’s was the first time I saw you. You and I became great friends right away. In eighth grade I was determined to ask you to be my girlfriend, but you moved before I had the chance. By some chance of fate I moved here and found you again. Against all odds I get my second chance. Love your childhood friend, Marcus I thought for a moment that I would cry as I ran my fingers over the handwritten words. I couldn’t believe it, I thought I would never see Marcus again and now he was here in the same town, going to the same school. I couldn’t contain my joy for even a moment longer. I got to my feet, grabbed my keys and made my way to the front door. I opened the door and stumbled over the threshold falling into someone. “Still clumsy,” Marcus said with a light laugh, but his arms wrapped around me and I smiled against his chest. “How did you find my house,” I said looking up into his eyes. He was smiling that same gorgeous smile. “I called you dad and he told me where,” he said. “I can’t believe that it’s really you,” I said. “Riley…” He paused. “Yes,” I said urging him to continue. He cleared his throat. “From the very moment you left Conroe I was lost and I promise I will not leave your side until the day you are sick of me. Because I can’t live with out you and…I love you.” I stared at him for a moment. I could see he was worried about my reaction. “Don’t worry Marcus, I promise to never get tired of you.” I paused. “Because I love you too.” At that moment we shared our first kiss, one filled with love. After that night we were joined at that hip, nothing could pull us apart. He kept his promise and I kept mine. Graduation came so fast that I hardly realized it was coming until a week or two before. I went across the stage first and watched as Marcus did the same. After that we went out to dinner with all the family, his and mine. We just finished dessert when he stood up and turned to me, a very serious look on his face. “What’s wrong Marcus?” I said staring up at him. I looked at the others at the table and they were smiling. He bent down on one knee and pulled a small black box out of his pocket. My breath caught in my throat, I couldn’t believe it. “Riley Lee Erickson, will you marry me?” He asked opening the box revealing a simple but beautiful ring. “Oh my… Marcus I… Yes!” I said as he slide the ring onto my left ring finger. He stood up and I jumped into his arms kissing him with everything I had. He spun me around then set me down and held me close moving the hair out of my eyes. His family and mine cheered with joy. Now we would be together for the rest of our lives with the luck of the ladybug at our side.
