I lay in bed crying silently, hugging a miniature picture frame to my chest. Jake is asleep, and I know he sleeps like the dead so I get out of our bed, and tiptoe out the room, then the house, from there I take off running to a small stream in the forest just past the border. Once there I break down, sobs wrenching themselves from my chest. I stare down at the picture frame in my hands. In it a girl with bronze hair down to her wait, wearing a black t-shirt and holey jeans, is kissing a boy with black hair , blue eyes wearing a black wife beater , and jeans , eyes closed, both obviously in love. The picture is of me, and my true love, Alec Adara. Jake and my parents never knew. Alec and I met one summer, and we hit it off. Alec was in the military but was on leave. We spent every moment we could together, then, he got deployed, a few weeks later, a representative of the military came to my house. He told me that Alec had been killed while trying to defend his unit. He handed me an envelope, with my name in his handwriting, and left. I broke down crying, as my heart shattered into a million pieces, I read the letter, in which he told me he loved me, and not to miss him too terribly much. That he would be back soon. He had written it hours before he was killed. There was a small diamond ring in the envelope, a note asking me to marry him in it. He said that he wished he could do it in person, but this was the best he could do right now. He said he knew he'd found his soul mate. The funeral was a week later, I watched as they folded up the flag and then took it, and then heard them fire the shots, each feeling like it was hitting my heart. It was three months ago today. I knelt by the small pond we had had picnics at only moths earlier. I looked at his picture. I remembered his kisses at night, right before we fell asleep. I missed the way we loved, like there was no limit to our love. I had never told him I loved him and now I'd lost my chance. I took the picture out of the frame, and kissed him again.
"I love you Alec. Forever." I whispered as the heavens opened up and rain poured down, I hugged the picture one last time, then let it burn, and let the fragments float in the river. Now, this would be our forever river. I sat there for a few more minutes then I ran back to Jake and I's house. He'd proposed a month ago. I knew it would make him happy so I said yes. But my heart still belonged to Alec Adara as it always will. "I love you Alec." I whispered to the wind. I could have sworn I heard his voice whisper "I love you too. But I knew I'd never hear that. Ever.

This is just a little one shot I came up with, but I could turn it into a story. Let me know what you want by reviewing.
