It was the last day of school, and Julie wished it would never end. School was the only place where she could see Ricardo without going behind her parents backs. Now she was literally leaving the country to go to some horrible boarding school far away from Ricardo.
As she saw Ricardo she ran up into his arms and began to cry. Ricardo tried to calm her down. They both knew today was the last day they had together. Ricardo was leaving the next morning to go to his uncle's house.
Once he would come back home, Julie would already be leaving to go to her new boarding school. They promised they would write each other, no matter how far apart they would be.
As the last school bell rang, Ricardo handed Julie a small box. Inside of it was a small silver bracelet.
Inscribed into it was my heart belongs to you forever and always.
As Julie slid it onto her wrist, Ricardo pulled her into one last kiss, hoping it would never end. Once they let go of one another, they left and went their separate ways.
Although they would be gone from each other, they knew their love kept on going. They each trusted that their love would last through anything, and this was only one obstacle that they would overcome together.
Someday, destiny will bring them back together, but until then their love was all they needed to hold on to.
