We showed the police the texts she'd been getting from them after a little reluctance by her. I got the feeling she was worried about them, even if they did just commit attempted murder. But I can understand that, after knowing someone all those years you don't want anything to happen to them. Love is blind. But I'm not so forgiving, all I care about is getting her ex-fiancé locked up so we don't have to deal with them anymore. After showing the police the texts, they were assumed to have probable cause to obtain a search warrant and drove to their house. My renters insurance covers the cost of a local hotel we'll be staying at tonight. I hope they know things will be a lot easier if they just confess. I really don't want to have to fight for our relationship anymore, but I might not have a choice, diary. I just wanted to live with her in peace. I've lost everything I owned. I've lost an old photo of my mom and all my clothes and furniture. I feel like this fire symbolized the passion I feel for her, and the destruction of a past relationship that was so important to them. It feels so strange to lose everything, except I still have the most important thing, something they won't ever get to take away from me. Her. I still remember those words she spoke to me after the fire's destruction. Hey diary, this reminds me of an old poem by Robert Frost. I guess it's within my nature to find references of literature for everything in my life. I should probably get going back to her know, so we can make plans on what our next step is.

As soon as I stuck you in my pocket, she leaned in on me from the bench we were sitting on at the police station. When I leaned down to give her a kiss, I saw a pain in her eyes so immense I felt it for myself. It wasn't the type of pain you experience when you're having a bad day, or someone looked at you maliciously, it was the kind of pain you feel when you only have one thing left, and that one thing was almost pulled out of your tiny, fragile hands.
"Luka," I whispered. "As long as you're with me, everything will be alright. I love you more than words can express and there's not a chance I'll let any more harm befall us."
