Haven't read the mentioned stories yet Jay, but here's a darker version of the story. It has become significantly longer as I went into more detail with their 'relationship', mainly the road toward it.

You've seen the news these days right? Unless you've been living under a rock that is. In this case I'm specifically talking about the wanton racism and power-abuse that is growing more and more common amongst cops. That's right, America's finest makes the headlines more often than not by breaking the law instead of protecting it. Those that are supposed to protect all of us regardless of religion or skin color are betraying and killing us left and right! And that's not even the worst of it. You see, they've even begun to arrest people for being around blacks.

That's right, I just wrote that. You may think that I'm just pulling this out of my ass, but I've seen it happen. In fact, just the other day they arrested my boyfriend just because he dates and loves me, a black woman! That is the reason I'm writing this. I want to create public attention with this blog post and show people how absolutely twisted the system is these days and how little you can trust the very people around you. Most importantly, I write this to get my boyfriend out of jail and back to me.

My boyfriend... My boyfriend Edward is the sweetest, kindest, and most loving person I have ever met. He is like an angel descended from the Heavens with his beautiful blonde hair, his deep blue eyes that twinkle so adorably whenever he looks at me, and his smooth, light skin that lays so gorgeously tight over his well-toned muscles. With his gentle voice he can calm the most hysterical and rabid beast, and his smile can make a crying baby laugh with joy. Eddy saved me from the pits of despair years ago when I thought that nothing could make me smile anymore. He pulled me out of the darkness and gave me a reason to live: him. He was and still is my beacon of hope and radiant shield of protection all at once. He returned me my smile!

I don’t expect you to understand when I say that he did so much for me. After all, Eddy told me that no one would understand and I have no reason to not believe him. However, for the sake of his freedom, I will try and explain. I first met Edward at lunch time in late spring. It had been a warm day so everybody, including me, was enjoying their lunch outside in the sun. Due to the other students being primarily white, I was not a popular girl and as a result I sat by myself at the edge of the grounds. That was when he approached me and struck up a conversation. I still remember what he first said to me. He said I was beautiful and then asked why I wasn’t sitting with the other girls. Of course I was cautious of him at first, but he was so nice and charming that I didn’t feel the need to keep my guard up for long. After that, I talked to him every day during lunch break. A few times he even convinced me to skip the rest of my classes and spend the day in town with him! It was the best time of my life.

Of course, my parents had to ruin my whole relationship. They found out, somehow, and wouldn’t let me do anything anymore. They started to treat me like a little kid, taking me to school and picking me back up the moment the bell rang, making the teachers keep an eye on me during lunch break, and never even once letting me out of the house. But Edward had already warned me that that could happen if people found out about us. This world we live in has grown so cold and distant that nobody knows what real love is anymore. So I had told him where I lived, just in case. After two long, excruciating days without being able to see him, he came to visit me in the middle of the night. I let him in through the window and we talked until the sun started to rise. He loved me so much that he sacrificed his sleep just to be able to see me. Edward returned every single night, sometimes even bringing a small gift with him.

This went on for a couple of weeks until I just couldn’t stand watching him leave in the morning. He was, and is, the only person in the whole world that truly understands me. It was too cruel to be separated from him all throughout the day. When I mentioned this to him, he said the most unbelievable and amazing thing. I could just go with him. I hesitated, but only for a moment. He brought me to his car while he went back inside to pack me a few items and leave a message for my parents so that they didn’t try to follow us. The look in his eyes when he said that was a little scary, but I quickly realized that this was just his passion to protect me shining through. Eddy took forever to come back out of the house but eventually left through the front door with my backpack and some of my dolls. When I asked why he took so long he only said that he’d had a talk with my parents instead of just leaving a message. From that moment on, it would be just me and him.

The drive to his house was long, though since I dozed off a few times I’m not sure how long. I do know that the last part of the trip was a dirt road through a forest because the uneven path jostled me out of sleep. Of course I was concerned about school, but Edward was there to reassure me that I didn’t need to be. He would take care of everything so that his little jewel, me, didn’t have to worry about anything. I was a little sad, but only because I had been looking forward to starting high-school.

Edward was stern with me yes, but that is understandable. He is flawless, where I am not. I did things wrong. Frequently even, and it amazes me that he hasn't simply abandoned me. Yet without fault, he was always there to guide me back on track with endless patience. Sometimes his lessons were tougher than normal when I failed him, like two days ago when I accidentally made a fool of myself in front of Eddy and his friends and thus embarrassed him. Even if they hurt, the bruises will fade. They always do. It is the lesson that is important, and that will remain. I carry each fading bruise and scar fondly in my heart as a reminder that they are all steps toward perfection so that I may stand beside him properly. Edward would let me come outside with him then. He would've let me leave the house and take me on long walks through the forest that surrounds us.

I know I am not worthy of his affections, but he chose me! My perfect, infallible Edward chose ME because he loves me and wants me by his side. They are keeping us separated on false accusations! I heard them from my hiding place as those so called ‘defenders of justice’ arrested him yesterday. The names they called him. Murderer. Kidnapper. Sociopath. I know this is a lie. They don’t know him as I do. My Eddy wouldn’t hurt a fly. So please, I’m begging you. Bring him back to me. I miss him so much. I need him. I will wait here for him to return, just like he wants. I just hope that he can forgive me for leaving the closet earlier. I was just so very thirsty.

But I won’t do it again, I promise. No matter how much my body may demand it I will do as you want. I will stay right here as long as is needed because you are my everything.

I love you for now and ever
