Her soft strawberry blonde hair rested on her delicate shoulders in the park where she waited. Leila, my Leila, was smart girl, strong willed, and her happiness means everything to me; I only wish that she knew that I loved her. My name is Carter, and as I see her eyes light up to see me, I smile with a bouquet of flowers behind my back. I walk up saying, "Hey Leila, you know..." She responds with "Yea? Carter..." it quickly escaped her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, and needed me to finish. "I love you, always have, always will..." I say as I slowly bring out her favorite flowers... lilacs. Leila disregards the flowers, and hands me a note and mumbles goodbye. No louder than a whisper. I look closer at her then, I see the tears. I see the newly opened bottle of sleeping pills... empty. Her eyes go blank, body falls limp. I look at the letter. It says,
"I love you Carter, always have, always will."

No offense, but it's a little stiff at parts, like it's not fully developed, you know? But I like the ideas behind it; sounds like a darker version of "The Gift of the Magi".
hahah noneee taken :D and it was supposed to be the activity where you write a story in 6 sentences... i just had to add a few more. and it is a little stiff, adn i should probably expand the idea when i have time. and thanks, im glad the ideas are well-liked. :D
