Mia POV:

I guess you could say that Michael was my soul mate. He was one true love material. We had the best relationship that I believe anyone could truly have. But after my Grandmere and my Dad passed away over a period of time I was forced to take the throne and become the 'Queen'. I guess most people would be happy for this kind of opportunity but I surely wasn't. I was going to have to give up my soul mate for the sake of a European country consisting of many people I didn't know and didn't seem to like me in many ways.

I didn't want to have to face Michael. I mean he would find out anyway. There was the media. The story would be out. So I decided to leave him a note instead of having to face those peat bog eyes that I felt I sunk into that would be so full of sadness. I wanted him to be happy and live on and forget about me although I never would. I had already made a promise to myself that Michael would be my only soul mate and I wasn't about to break it. So I got a jeweler that I knew personally through my Grandmere to make two lockets. On both of them I had engraved "Love will always find a way." I wanted Michael to have something to remember me by although I wanted him to move on. In his locket I put a picture of me. In mine I put a picture of him. And then I wrote him a letter:

Dear Michael,

You won't get this letter until I'm on a plane for Genovia and by then you will have probably figured out why I'm on it. The media has their ways. And if you don't know by then, then the reason I have to move is because I have to be queen. I know I've been trying to avoid it and I know we both saw it coming but I don't want you to be burdened with the weight of being a royal.

I know you would have wanted to talk to me, but it would have been too painful to say goodbye. So I'm leaving you with this letter and this locket and hoping that although you will move on and find another you love just as much, that you will never forget me. Keep it in a drawer and when you're having hard times remember that although I am not by your side that I will always be there for you, no matter where each of us are or where we are in life.

But before I say goodbye I want to say that I have loved you, love you now, and will love you as long as I live and there will NEVER be anyone else with the place that you have in my heart.

Love always and forever without doubt,

Mia

And one lone tear traced its way down my cheek and smudged my name on the letter.
