'Tied Down'

January 14, 1996

Dear Ryan,

Well, here it is in a nut shell. You're free, but remember, this was your decision. I promised myself once that I would never again let a man hurt me. I felt safe with that promise when I was with you. What can I say? Deception sucks. The truth is, we will never have a chance at another relationship. That was it. Sorry, but I can't go through this with you constantly. Unlike you, I was never tempted for a shot with another guy. Sorry, I thought I had something great. Next time I'll try not to think of possibilities when I start a new relationship. After I graduate, I'll be leaving the state, I'm signing onto a modeling contract next month and I'll start recording a tape in late June. There's nothing more for me to stay here for anymore. You will most likely never see me again. So I guess this is it. You can finally have your way now that you are no longer 'tied down.' Sorry, I didn't know I was so demanding. Keep in touch if you want, but I won't hold my breath.

Rosalie Lane

PS - No need to worry, I didn't cry.

This wasn't the end of course, this was only the beginning. I need a time machine. This letter is so cliche. Why didn't I see through it?

Girl Who Deserves A Chance

 Ryan, You asked me once, "Why do people love me?" I'll tell you why... Your energy is what makes people fall in love with you. It's how you make them feel. It is not your body, your money or your looks that make you magnetic. What makes you unforgettable is how you transform the hearts of people around you with your simple presence. That is your energy, that is your power, and that is why people love you. Jessica,     the girl who deserves a chance...

Backstage Stooge

 Dear Ryan,  You're delightful and a real treat to be around, a regular jack who's so down to earth. What you see is what you get with you. No pretenses, no false fronts, no ulterior motives or ill intentions. You're one to say what you're thinking with your eyes, you can never hide behind lies, and your sighs give you away. Although you're an exceptional actor, you shed those roles only to recreate yourself whenever you feel you need to. I suspect you've got some secrets and perhaps you very well could be a demon in disguise. But I seriously doubt the dark side of you isn't just as beautiful as the light side. You're no one's fool and you're fooling no one. You've simply got to walk in any room and your energy speaks for itself. You're one of a kind, and don't tell anyone, but I think my heart might become rather fond of you. Your co-star and backstage stooge, Jonah D.
