Felon

Chapter 38

Click

I whimpered holding on to my wrist
My eyelid felt heavy as I tried to open it

With all the power I had I opened my eyes
The floor felt soft under me...it wasn't concretely like before

"Shh...lay down and rest no need to push yourself" someone held my shoulders pushing me back down
I tried to see who it was but I didn't have the energy
I laid flat on the soft surface and fell into deep slumber

...........................

"U saw the blue and purple marks...well guess what Cole I didn't cause it...so I wonder who else in her life is pathetic enough to do that" someone gritted their teeth

I tried to move but I couldn't
"Emily?" A hand helped me get up

My eyes adjusted to the lights
I shot my eyes open as the hand held my waist

And I stopped breathing for whole solid minute

"J-Jaden?" I asked
He had a look of concern on his face
I checked my surroundings

I was in a big hotel room...I turned my head to look at the glass door displaying the view of the city

"Where am I" I jerked his hand away
"Get away from me" I tried to get up but fell on the bed

"Emliy I won't hurt u please just don't move u r going to hurt yourself even more" he said helping me up
Panic rose in me

I know he kidnapped me...he is going to use me as a leverage to get to Cole
Ik i-

Cole

My eyes filled with tears remembering what he did

I looked at Jaden
"If u r planning to use me against Cole.....then let me tell u he wouldn't care" I said as a tear slipped

He nodded his head frequently
"No...I -im....I saw u at that road...I couldn't leave u there....I didn't kidnap u" he said in a hurry

I examined his face...his eyes were a little puffy,lashes were wet and disheveled hair

Has he been crying?
He had this intimidating aura around him which immediately made me back away

"This is my fault...all my fault" he said more to himself than me
"Emi im sorry...I should've never-"

"What did u just call me?" I almost yelled
He looked confused and then a sad smile spread on his face

"Emi" he repeated grinning like a kid

Emi....his voice echoed in my mind bringing back all the memories me and my best friend had

My mind went back to the picture Cole showed me...he accused me for working with Jaden

But it was me and......JD

No....no this can't be

Its impossible

He died....a long time ago
My head felt like exploding
I remembered the last time we met when were 15...
We were riding our bikes...I was always faster than him so I went ahead
After a while I called his name and nobody answered

Worried I went back to search for him but he was nowhere to be found...dad put out whole police department for him but they never found him...his file went into "presumed dead" category

All these years I used to go through dad's office and check his file...seeing the name presumed dead had me sobbing uncontrollably for hours and hours
