I twist and turn for what seems like hours before I eventually give up on sleep. Tossing the covers off, I reach over to turn on the small table lamp. I stare at Reiner's journal on the table, the sight causes my stomach to drop. I can't keep ignoring it, my hands tremble as I reach over to grab it.
I open the book with shaky hands, flipping through random pages. My eyes dart back and forth across the text as I read.
May 12th Blair,
I still dream about our first kiss; it's a calm moment of happiness before I wake and realize you're not here with me. I wish I could just see you one more time, to explain everything. But I can't. And you know what hurts the most? I don't even know if you're alive. The last time I saw you, I left you broken. I'm sorry.
Love, Reiner

I told my mom about you after she forced me to go to the doctor. She was wondering why I was so down and not like my usual self. She swore something was wrong with me. My diagnosis? A broken heart. The only thing that helps is knowing that we sleep under the same sky.
Love, Reiner
August 1st Blair,
It's my birthday and it doesn't mean anything to me if you're not here to celebrate with me. What's the point of celebrating if my one wish won't come true? I wish we could have found each other in a different time. Then maybe we would still be together.
