Emily p.o.v

"Last night he openly told me everything....he's not a rapist...i mean he is a murderer but he did it to protect his family Kell" I told her while holding the phone between my ear and shoulder
" I told u there's always 2 part of a story" she said savagely
"Gurlll if he told u all this he must trust u so much....i mean it doesn't sound like something he would tell to everyone...just be normal okay don't start drooling now that he told u about his past....know him more okay" she said
"Ok.." I replied quietly
"Okay I gotta go hon bye"
"Bye" I cut the call

I got ready and left the house...there was a red light and when it opened I was stuck in the jam(yes it happens here)....I find myself thinking about Cole again...like he never left my mind...should I believe him? I mean he could be lying for all I know...but my heart believed every word he said,his sister is...

I couldn't believe this...I wanted to know everything about him but im not gonna ask...Ill wait for him to open up

A person honked behind me pulling me back from my thoughts...

I rolled my eyes and started driving...I arrived there in 2 or 4 mins after....I got out and I heard a loud shriek...
I ran into the building...I saw dad and Cole arguing...
Why is dad arguing with him....does he knew about yesterday....did he....did he saw us holding hands or whatever...oh god
I slowly walked to them....

"We cannot give u the permission to meet anyone" dad said in a calm tone seeing me
"But...I...my mom...she's...please sheriff pls just once" Cole begged dad his hands were pulled back by officer as if he would hurt him...ik they were taking the safety measures required..but I don't like seeing him like this....it hurts me

"Im not fighting with u Reynolds" dad shouted
"Take him back" he ordered the officers
They starter taking him away...there was disappointed look on his face..
I came closer to dad

"Dad what's wrong" I asked trying to be casual
"Oh Hi honey....uh no don't worry about it"
He shrugged off
"Was he threatening u" I asked making a fake angry face...ik Cole wouldn't do such thing but I wanted to know what he said
"No...his mom is not okay he wants to meet her" he said
"So....what's wrong with that"
"We can't let him" he said cupping my face
"Why not"
"Becuz he has commited so much crime we r not authorised to let anyone meet him...he is a smartass honey he could've been planning his escape we can't trust him" dad said and walked away...

I stood there for few minutes processing what dad just said..."planning an escape"
What if...no...no he wouldn't do that...

I decided to go and ask him....
I walked into his cell and the lights were off as usual....
I turned it onn...
He sat on the bed
He turned around and his eyes were red.....is he crying?!
"Cole.." i said walking towards him..
I put my hand on his shoulder..
He shrugged off wiping his eyes
"Yeah" He said turning around
"What happend"
"Nothing....nothing " he said
"Cole...u can tell me uk that" I assured him

He closed his eyes tightly before speaking
"My mom....she is dying" he said holding back tears...he's really trying hard to hide his emotions....it hurts me to my core that boys r taught that showing emotion is weakness...when infact its the most powerful thing a person can do

"What.....how do u know that" I asked after a short while...remembering that he is not allowed to see anyone
"She sended a package with a letter"
"A letter?" I questioned
"He got on his knees and pulled out a box from under his bed...he opened it and there were unusual things...i didn't even recognised some of the things...he pulled a paper from a wooden box

He handed it to me....I read it
"Cole I miss u so much,it is so lonely here but I have a neighbour...she is kind and helps me sometimes....Ray baby...the doctor said that i have few days left....the tumour is growing...i wish I could meet u son...ily" -mom

"Oh Cole....I" I looked up to his eyes
"They wouldn't even let me see her" he complained...my heart shattered seeing him like this...he is so strong and beautiful...he don't deserve this....I never imagined I would ever see him crying
"Im sorry...u don't deserve this" I said and hugged him...he hugged me back...his hand snaked around my waist...his intoxicating smell left me slightly unconscious...
I decided to push my feeling in the back of my mind.....i have to do something

"Don't worry ill talk to dad" I told him and got up

I trotted to dad's office....
"Dad may I come in" I knocked on his door lightly
"Yes sweetheart" he replied not bothering to look up...I walked in slowly
"If u r here to convince me to let Reynolds see his mother u might wanna rethink"
"Dad since when do u become so heartless" I commented
"Since when do u start letting your emotions take over" he replied
I halted for a second..he was right..I was the only one in my family who lacked emotions quoted by my family....but in my opinion I followed my mind not heart

"Emily I do everything u say but this is enough...I have some important work to do so please go" he ordered
I stared at him for few seconds and turned and left...

Maybe he is right....since when did I become so emotional....I was never...I always thought rationally...and I still will...
