~*Luke's POV*~
I had given her up. I didn't deserve a second chance, but I couldn't help but hope. It had been about sixteen years since I looked into her deep chocolate brown eyes and watched as the sun bounced of her beautiful blonde hair, but I can remember it as if it were yesterday.
Back then, she was dating Jack and I was part of the Chosen. She could have gone back to him, for all I know. I do know that it wouldn't have worked out. I could never be the man she wanted me to be.
I continued to think such things as I walked to my destination. I had just return to a city I vowed that I would knew set foot in again. In a couple of days, an old friend and I would begin teaching high school students. But first, I had to get a glimpse of my lost love.
I finally reached "The Amulet" headquarters, and there she was, gorgeous as ever. She was reading the paper, but she soon put that down. Afterwards, she looked across her office and smiled to the other occupant. Seeing that it was Jack, I felt my stomach tie in knots. /I have to get out of here./ It was the only thought I could think. Giving her one last look, I ran.
~*Ellie's POV*~
/The paper is turning out great./ I couldn't help but think. For so many years, I had worked to get it started and now it was a reality. Many of the adults- funny how we can use that word again- remember my feeble attempt of a newspaper right after the virus struck. In fact, the first one I printed was framed and hanging on my wall.
"Well, Jack," I said as I put down the paper, "another good paper, don't you think." I couldn't help but smile. The paper was my one true love, or it was the only thing I could claim.
As Jack began to speak, I turned towards the window. I loved to watch the people pass by, always hoping that he would pass by. I quickly scanned everyone, and then there he was. Although many years had passed, he looked the same. Age had put some line on his face, but he still was as handsome as the day I met him. All too soon, he was gone. I frantically scanned the windows, but he was no longer there.
"Earth to Ellie. Are you there?"
"What? I'm sorry Jack. What did you say?"
"You look like you've seen a ghost. Are you okay?"
"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine. Anyways what were you saying?" Jack began to talk again, but I didn't hear him. I was too worried about who I had just seen. /Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me./ I thought to myself. /Or maybe I did see a ghost./
