The cops came and left. They questioned me and Alex both. They also made the prime decision to lock him up in a jail more secure than Alcatraz so he couldn't try to kill anyone else. That was that, another matter that I seriously let slip off my shoulder. We were leaving for Fiji tomorrow, and we would be the happiest we have ever been. Something inside me still felt like it had been sucked out of me when Josh died; but I didn't mind the feelings much. I mean I still cried and got emotional about it from time to time. I would never forget him, but I had to come to terms that one relationship cannot hold me back from having a life. I really miss Josh, but I moved on. I have Alex now, I am complete once again. As for the notes, I still leave them once a week at his grave. And I just had an idea for the final note I'll be leaving.
Dear Josh,
Well, I know you'd hate this, but I have a boyfriend now. We are going to Fiji and are engaged. I couldn't take being alone anymore. I still am upset that you had to leave so quickly, but can't let that hold me back from life. I am just getting back up from an emotion pit into happiness. I am starting back into my old music career, and I have been taking lots of artsy pictures lately. I am hoping to be something big soon. It's been easy, career wise, but I just want you to know you were my first ray of sunshine. And life has just been an emotional roller coaster since you've been gone.
