DECISIONS
Written by Jennifer Vaughn
Scarah lay very still on the living room floor. Suddenly, her world felt very different. Though the floor was still cluttered with pizza boxes and mayonaise jars, Scarah felt a different sort of presense in the room now that pictures of her beloved Jack were strewn everywhere. Scarah was out of breath and far too worn out to get up, so she lay there remembering the events that had occurred just one day earlier.

It had been years since she'd heard from the Prince. Their relationship had been a rocky one, with him being gone all the time. She didn't want to break his heart, but William was a busy man, and she had needs. In her right hand, she held her favorite faded picture of Jack. In her left hand, she held the tattered last letter from her Prince that she had read so many times.

"Dear loyal fan," it began, "Thank you for your interest. I have been very busy these days keeping up public appearances. I hope you will continue to support myself and the royal family in the future. Sincerely Yours, Prince William."

Scarah had always thought it was cute the way he referred to her as "loyal fan." No one had ever had a pet name for her before. But their love was strong, and Scarah kept the Prince's wish to "continue to support" him. But as the years passed and her Prince failed to write again, Scarah grew wary and began to feel abandoned. When Jack came into the picture, she knew her love for William had dwindled.

Scarah knew what she had to do. Through a blanket of tears and a package of hot dogs, Scarah wrote her love stricken good-bye to the Prince whose heart she knew she was breaking. Jack was the love she had been waiting for. And soon, Scarah vowed, Jack's wife would see that too.
