You slowly parked your car outside your lonely apartment and began your usual thinking of what else you had to do for the rest of the night. You grabbed your bag from the passenger seat and started you long walk inside.
Soon after getting out of your car, you felt that uneasy feeling that something was watching you. Brushing off the idea, you continued your walk. Of course with it being late at night all your neighbors were asleep which was what you were wanting to do at this moment.

Again something felt uneasy, you quickly searched around in your bag for your keys to the apartment room when your bag fell to the ground knocking things everywhere along with your keys. You picked up your things at a fast pace and put them back in your bag and continued to open your door. You got in safely and closed and locked the door behind you.

You flipped on the TV to break the silence of the empty house and began to get ready for a much needed hot shower. As you got your things together, you heard the local news anchor on TV talking about an escaped criminal. It immediately got your attention and suddenly you saw your biggest fear become a reality. Luke had escaped from prison and they had no clue where he was.

He had went to prison a few years ago for killing two guys in his gang. You and Luke were engaged at the time but you never knew of the gang nor his plans of killing anyone. But you always knew he had a short temper and was scared of no one. He sent you many letters from prison trying to explain and apologize but you never wanted anything to do with him after hiding such a huge part. You eventually moved away from the old apartment to get away from his constant letters and to reassure he would never find you again. So this didn't bother you much he was out but that you hoped they would find him soon because you knew he was furious at you and would find you eventually.

You turned the shower on and began to strip down to nothing. The hot shower washed all the troubles down the drain. Soon you were done and ready to go to bed. You had an early morning tomorrow and didn't need to be up all night staying up thinking about him. You came out of the bathroom to feel a cold breeze hitting you. You looked to see the window in your bedroom was open. You knew you hadn't opened it so the only other thing that it could be was....
"Hello babe." A familiar voice said from behind you as you closed the window pretending like it didn't bother you but truly you were scared. What was he going to do to you?
"How did you find me?" Your voice shakes as the words come out continuing not to look at him. You shivered as two arms snaked there way around your waste and his cold lips kissed you cheek.
"You can run but you can't hide from me baby." He said
"Please don't hurt me." You said as a tear ran down your face.
He turned you to face him and wiped the tear away.
"And why would I do that? Because you never answered any of my letters that I have sent everyday since I have been in jail? Or my phone calls that I only get once a month? Or because you never came on visitation days which I waited for you everyday on those days? Or because you broke up with me? Broke my heart into pieces which made me so mad I had to have mental therapy for two year?" He let you go and began to pace the room and you stood still. He was loosing his temper. " I waited so long for you, (y/n)! You were the only person I had and you didn't even let me explain what had happened that night. I was trying to change for you. I was trying to get out of the gang when they said they were going to kill you for trying to change who I was suppose to be. Stopping them was the only way I could keep them from taking the only thing I loved away from me. I didn't mean for it to go that far but, for you I would I do anything to protect you. But that wasn't good enough and I still lost you. You thought I was criminal from what you heard. You gave up on me but I never gave up on you!" With that he picked up the lamp on your dresser and threw it against the nearest wall. Tears fell down your face from fear and sorrow from all the years. "(Y/f/n), I have loved you and always will. You know I would never do anything to hurt you. I poured my love into those letters and voicemails and I couldn't go another minute without telling you how much I love you and explain what had happened. I hope that you would please forgive me." He was now standing in front of you again face to face, inches away.
"Do you know how long it has taken me to try to forget you? Then you come in here expecting everything to be the same. You will be in jail for the rest of your life for escaping prison and running away. You are insane. That's why I fell in love with you, Luke. But I must move on and you need to, too. And this is the hardest thing for me to say because you are the love of my life but we can never be together again like we were before except in our dreams. And we can't live the rest of our life's like that. I want you to know that the hardest thing was for me to try to move on, to not answer your calls, to not read your letters and write back and to not to go to visitation where I could see your face. And to this day I still love you and always will." You said. You slowly leaned in and shared a passionate kiss. A kiss that you never wanted to end but that had to.

He looked you in the eye and it all seemed like a dream just like it all did before.

"I won't be able to stay much longer before they figure out where I am but I am so sorry that I left you alone to where you have to move on. I would never hurt you. I promise I will let you move on. It was a wild dream to think everything would be the same as before so I give you my pro mission to move on. As long as he is a better guy than me and treats you right." You smiled. A smile you missed so much.

"I'll never find someone like you." You smiled back. "I have one last request before you leave me. Lay with me until I fall asleep." You said.

"I would be happy to." He said leading you to your bed

The rest of the time was spent cuddling and kissing. As you slowly drifted off to sleep you heard a low husky voice.
"I love you, (y/n)"

"I love you more, Lukey" you mumbled back

You woke up the next morning to a cold, empty bed. The memories flooded your mind from last night.

You got up to get a start on your day when you looked to see a note on you night stand.
It read:

To the love of my life,
Thank you for being everything I needed. Never change and Never stop moving on. You will always be in my wildest dreams.

Always All of my love,
Lukey

Next to your note, was your beautiful engagement ring that you threw at him in the courtroom. You sat both back down and began to get ready for work. You saw that Luke had cleaned up the lamp he had broke last night which reminded you of how much of a gentlemen he was.
Today was the day you began to move on again. Start from the begging again. Another long process that would take everything in you.

As you began to get ready for work, you turned on the TV as you put your makeup on.

"Breaking news: Cereal Killer Luke Hemmings found dead early this morning. He was found laying at the beach by police. It looks to be he committed suicide but more on this story later on. Now the city of Sydney can rest safely again." The lady smiled at the camera
