1. Vicki, Looking for That Magic Spark
Name: Vicki
Location: Colorado mountains
When I was in my teens, I met the most amazing boy who was caring and loving. Gabriel never cared about my imperfections and my burn scars, but rather he showed me that I was still beautiful to him. Gabriel and I really had a Spark between us that no one could deny, not even his twin brother Nick. Gabriel had several brothers and they needed to protect themselves and others from some pretty bad guys, so we ended up losing touch with each other; however, before that happened Gabriel somehow fixed my burn scars. I've thought about him so much since we lost touch, but I am finally ready to find myself another "Gabriel" and experience passionate love. I hope that by writing this letter someone will know the perfect guy for me. I can't wait to meet him and Spark up a new fire of love.
2. Vicki, the Bright and Shining Star
Name: Vicki
Fictional location: Sydney, Australia
I met the most amazing boy in a cancer therapy group. His name is Augustus, Gus for short. Wow! I've never known anyone who could fill The Fault in Our Stars like he did. He has been my bright and shining star ever since we met. Gus is kind, gentle, SO funny, and he's really the love of my life. But I need to let him go for reasons I can't divulge here, but anyone who knows my story will understand why I am letting him go now. I still love him, but I need to FREE him so he can enjoy life even more. God only knows he deserves the BEST in life!
3. Vicki's Obsidian Heartbreak
Name: Vicki
Location: Hollywood, CA
My dearest, sweet, one and only love of my life, Daemon,
I don't know how to tell you what I am about to say, but please read my letter and ponder my words with an open heart.
You have been my Obsidian, my protector since the day we met, even before I realized you were doing what you did to protect me. I've watched you glow like the sunshine and fight like there's no tomorrow, and I've loved you more than I ever thought possible. But...and I say this with heavy tears, I know you would give your very own LIFE for me and I just cannot allow that to happen. I have to let you go because I love you! I couldn't bear to live without you and that's my biggest fear. I must let you go before I might have to watch you die. Please understand the depth of my love for you and understand that to see you so close to death showed me I could never handle watching you die or knowing I have to be without you being somewhere on the face of this earth. It is with a shattered heart that I let you go my love...my Daemon. xoxoxo
4. Vicki, Loud in Love
Name: Vicki
Patch, I didn't know if I could ever love again, but you changed that for me. The minute I saw you, though many others hated you, I had an instant attraction. Though you were mysterious and what I guess I'd call a "bad boy" I truly fell in love with you. However, having to keep our relationship Hush, Hush has just been too much on me. I've had to lie to my loved ones and I just can't do it anymore. I'll always love you, but I have to move on and let you go...for now.
5. Vicki, Done Playing Pretend
Dear Finn, I just can't hold up this facade anymore and pretend to be something we are not. I'll always care for you and you'll always hold a special place in my heart, but I have to let you go.
