• He paced the room"Im sorry. I have to go. I love you." he said and closed her door.
    The next day she walked to school but she didnt wear the bright colors. Her jeans had rips in them her tank top was studded and she had dark make-up on. She walked into class and the people that had once been her friends turned their backs on her once she walked into the room. Alone, sad, and forgetten she turned away and cried. She held in her hand a rose he had given her before he left. In her hand the rose's petals turned to black. They began to fall, but before the last one fell a hand closed over her slender fingers.
    "Never let this one fall. Never lose it." a voice said.The girl looked up and saw a boy smiling sadly at her. He wiped away a tear frome her eye. "Never lose it"
    he said.
    Years past when one day they were sitting in her room and he said,"Im sorry. I do love you. But I cant stay here. I will never forget you."
    She looks up at him."Before you leave I want to give you something, and I want you to do a favor for me."
    "What is it?"
    The girl got up, opened her dresser and pulled out a cherry-wood bow with a glass cover. She handed it to him, and he opened it. Inside was a little black petal. The petal that so many years ago he had stopped from slipping from her fingers."Now I cant lose it. Becasue the person that has my heart will have this."
    He looked up and starred in her eyes. "What is the favor?"
    "Never lose this." she said and watched as he walked out.
    Now I stare into my mirror and see that girl looking up at me, and I know I will never forget.
