Felon

Chapter 23

"Im sorry Em that u had to go through it" dad said coming to hug me....I didn't know what to feel or think....I was about to tell dad about my stupidity and how I brought his mom into jail...his mom would've urged him otherwise he wouldn't have escaped in such a hurry...i mean I was there alone so many other time but he didn't-... I remembered his words
"I will come back for u I promise"

His eyes told the truth...his hands were trembling that day...he didn't want to do this...and that car.....who was that....something is wrong I can feel it

I decided not to tell dad about the meeting that I set up for Cole and his mom becuz the damage has been done....

I am beyond sad...it has been months since he left...I stopped going to Bethlehem becuz everything there reminded me of him...
I hate it...every time I open up same shit happens...its not like he was my boyfriend or anything ofcrs there was no commitment...I don't hate him I hate myself

"Im fine dad" I shrugged
"I know he meant something to u" dad whispered coming closer to me...his words tearing my heart apart..

"I SAID IM FINE STOP IT SERIOUSLY" I yelled...he backed off...he stood there in my room just looking at me...I wanted to be left alone...he left after sometime...
This opening up about feeling is really not my thing...people say that sharing emotions and feelings make people feel better...well..not in my case

Nothing really makes me happy...im so confused with my feelings I might just go psycho

It has been 4 months and I still can't stop thinking about him...his smell,smile,hug everything coming back again and again in my mind...I have to think about him as least as possible its driving me insane...

To get my mind off these things I started working at a new hospital named KK international ...Mr.Smith suggested this hospital and said it would be really nice for me...and he was right..the patients here r nice...I mean they r not threatening plus they pay me sizable amounts

My shift there was 11 am to 7pm....I wouldn't mind becuz when I'll become an actual doctor...I would be working 24/7 so this is just the starting

It was my 7th or 9th day...I made new friends here...to my surprise Kelly was my advisor here...we became bestest friends in these past few months...there was Adam my coworker, Lily...she is a nurse here..

I picked up my starbucks drink from the counter as usual...I asked the cashier Josh to always make sure my starbucks drink is here...I worked a lot and instantly became everyone favourite as I had alot of time and no social life...

I spent half of my day thinking about Cole..even after what he did I still deeply care about him..I just want to see him and talk to him...I brushed my thoughts away and decided to do whats important

I started my day with starbucks...
A patient came with broken nose...someone punched him in the nose
Then few other patients came...nothing serious...I finished the work at 7 and headed home with Kelly

We were sitting in the car..

"And u know what! there was another girl in his room I couldn't believe it" she signed...she is talking about her ex....she is upset with him...she continued talking about him as she was quite upset, there was a black car going to the opposite direction...I looked at it and it made me remind of the car that Cole went into

All the past events returned...he could be in danger...and I know nothing about it...it is so-
"Hey...r u even listening" kelly snapped her finger...
"Oh yeah....yeah...he is such an asshole,ill punch him if I ever see him" I said nodding my head

Kelly raised her eyebrows
"I was talking about dad"
"Oh sorry I thought" I laughed nervously
"Girl where's your head at" she joked turning away..

"Wait a second is it about that prisoner guy" she turned to me...I kept looking forward and driving not saying anything
I don't wanna bring him up rn

"And here I thought we r getting close" she commented and faced the window
"No..Kel we are,its just...if i tell u...u will think that im crazy" I signed...she turned
There was brief moment of silence

"Tell me what's wrong" she said putting her hand on mine...I signed

"Uk about the incident that day right?...when he escaped" I said facing her quickly..
"Yeah"
"He said that...he didn't mean it he...needed to go idk why he said he will come back and explain everything to me" I paused to look at her reaction...

"I know this is crazy but I need to see him...there was a guy waiting for him at the gate...I assume he must've used my phone when I left him with his mother to talk" I confessed sadly..
"U what NOW" she freaked...

oh shit I haven't told her yet...

"His mother was dying Kel...he was so happy to see her I didn't know that she will make plans for him to escape"

"Park the car" Kelly ordered
"What"
"Just park the car" she yelled
"Okay okay"
I parked the car near the sidewalk

"Now what" I asked
"Now I want u to listen to me carefully.." she insisted....i nodded in response
"This guy...is dangerous Emily do u hear me he is dangerous....despite what u feel for him, he is a criminal...u did a big mistake taking his mom to him but u r not gonna do anything stupid to get yourself in danger! U r not gonna go after him...." she exclaimed

"But Kel" I paused.....

"He said he will come back for me"
