Unforgettable

Author's Note

I came up with this plot right in the middle of my math class. "Leona... hmm." I liked the name Leona. It had a "lion" feel to it and if I'm not mistaken it's actually derived from that or not. My Leona is a fighter and will not let her feelings get her down. I also like the name Alexander or Alexandro or Alessandro; it gives me a protective guy vibe that I want for my character and for Leona.

I've always liked being called dear or love or other endearments. It makes me feel loved for some reason. And Paris, yes, let's talk about Paris. I chose Paris to symbolize something, actually. Paris is stereotypically and typically the city of love and romance. This is not the case for Leona. She did not find the love she was seeking and longing in the city of love. This is also similar to my story. I moved to America a little less than a year ago. America, the country of hope and dreams. But the moment I moved here, I've lost all hope and my dreams. My dreams to be with my dearest friends and graduate at the near university I've secretly wanted to go to. Or the boy I've always loved. That place will always be my home.

If you notice, this story is very lenient on long distance relationships. Let's just say it never works. It always ends up with the other person falling out of love, lacking courage, or craving physical love; in other words they cheat. Those who have survived LDRs are the lucky ones and I, and many people, envy you. But who's to say second chances don't exist?

In this story we follow Alex and Leona's lives filled with hopeful second chances and love. I had high hopes when writing this and coming up with the plot in my math classroom while trying to find the volume of a cylinder. This story is my story, a story I've dreamt of every night for a year. Because you are just so unforgettable.

p.s. I promised I'd write us a story. Here it is.

Always,
Angela.
