As I was riding back home I realised Kell was right...i should get to know him.....a little.....I decided to take a u-turn towards Bethlehem....

I arrived there and saw dad walking out...
"Ur late?!"dad said giving me a tight hug
"Yeah...I woke up late" I said smiling lying through my teeth
"Okay...im going out for few hours okay ill be back by 8pm"
"Okay dad" I said....dad is going out...now ill have time to talk to Cole...
"Bye hon" he said getting into the car
"Bye dad"

I got into the building and slowed down to prepare myself for the conversation im going to have with him...

Ill just ask him why he was punching that guy....then ill ask him to tell me why he murdered those ppl..
Wow... r u hearing urself Emily....ill just ask why he murdered people... as if he's gonna answer "oh i was just feeling a little angry Emily im sorry"....I was saying all this to myself and immitating him

"Ahem..ahem" one of the officer coughed..
I turned around...
"Umm...we don't have all day" the officer joked...
God I totally forgot they r behind me...they would've seen me making faces...ughhh "idiot" I whispered to myself walking dramatically too fast...

I reached his gate and the other 2 officer standing near another cell came and started talking to the two officers who were with me
Im in luck today...this is the perfect time to talk to him....I slipped into the cell and opened the door....
"Cole?" I called

"Emily" he said..I saw him stand up and  walk towards me.... his face... it had a purple mark on the cheek again
"U got hurt again?" I asked
"I...im sorry"
"I didn't start the fight I swear ask the inmates" he said

I didn't know what to say...i made my way to sit down and open my kit....

"Then who did" I asked him after a pause...
"He did" said coming to sit infront of me on the bed...we usually sat on the floor
"But u sure beat him nearly to death right" I said giving him a smirk and shaking my head...
"Do u even know what he said" he asked with furrowed eyebrow
I didn't say anything this time...

"He was talking shit about us" he said
"Us?" I questioned
"He saw us...on the night u came here to give me vitamins...he thought we r doing something" he said anger clearly developing in his eyes

"I asked him to shut up but then he called u a whore" he said in a low voice
"What?" I asked raising my eyebrow in disgust...there was a long silence after that....we didn't say anything else..

"Well.." I coughed
"U don't have to put up a fight for random people" i told him not shifting my eyes off from the wound I was now cleaning

"Ur not some random person"
"Not to me" he added....
I looked up to meet his gaze not believing what he said....then all the flashbacks of me readings his reports came back

Charged with rape,murder

I gulped...deciding not to reply emotionally to anything he says....
"You're a bad person Cole" I said quietly
"What" he asked coming a little closer
"You're a bad person" I stopped
"U...u kill people....u r a rapist...u r a robber...u r....u r a felon"  I stammered
"I did kill people but Im not a rapist" he said not breaking eye contact....his developing anger made me a little more concerned but I decided not to keep quiet...not this time

"How can u say that....the reports...I've read everything about u Cole...Ur horrid"
I exclaimed
"So u believe those reports and not me" he said looking hurt more than angry
I clearly don't understand what he meant

"Why do u trust the judiciary so much....u clearly don't know anything about what's happening...YOU think that police is gonna come everywhere and save the day" he pointed finger at me coming closer making me shift a little....he makes sure to scare me time to time

"Do u know what is happening around the world...do u even know anything...The judgements gave by the court aren't always right sweety....one person deciding whether another person is innocent or not,whether another person should live or not...on the basis of what? Some proofs given by random persons is sufficient to decide whether a person is worthy of living or not " he asked
"People lie,faces can be deceitful" he clenched his teeth

"Cole...i don't know what u r implying" i stuttered
"Im not a rapist Emily...my enemy hired girls to tell the court that I........raped them" he said looking away
"What" i yelled

"Everything alright Emily" officer said slightly opening the door...
I was so shocked that I didn't even know what to say
"Uh...ye..yeah.." I assured him
"Okay" he said closing the door

"Cole."I said looking at him
"So what u r saying is....is...that ur innocent " i stammered
"No...im not innocent...I've killed people..."
He confessed
