On date night we were flipping through channels and came across a segment for a wanted murderer. He broke down screaming and crying in agonizing pain, this is the first time I had ever seen him in such a miserable state. I was in complete shock seeing my Boyfriend of a news segment.

Eventually He broke down telling me everything, at first I didn't believe him thinking it was his childhood trauma finally catching up with him. He's been physically and mentally abused by his parents from a very young age.

A week later I noticed a little box shoved to the back of his closet. As I opened it my heart dropped to my stomach, when I saw the initials "DW" realizing this was the watch I had engraved for my Ex boyfriend.

He had told me it all went down at our local bar when he ran into Derek. In his drunken frame of mind, he broke a glass bottle and plunged it into his heart after a heated brawl. I was in complete shock , finding it extremely difficult to accept. I had to face the truth and accept knowing The love of my life is now a wanted murderer running from the law...
