Don't Give Up On Me [Book 2]

Chapter 2

"As I looked through your file, my eyes landed on your previous life, Mr. Evans." He began, as I nodded, still wrapping my head around everything that was happening.

"You were a good student, but at some point it all changed. Suddenly, you left your home, leaving your family and friends behi-"

"I had no choice!" I spat suddenly, surprised by my own outburst, my fist colliding with the metallic table.

"Why is that so?" He asked, lifting an eyebrow, not even flinching.

"Who the fuck are you to know?!" I glared at him.

"I'm here to help."

"But you fucking can't help me, I'm here for lifetime!" I exaggerated.

"Mr. Evans you don't understand, I was sent to help you out, because you were listed up for the death row! But, as I looked through your file, I might also bail you out as well, because if it is as you said so, that you were pushed into this, they have no right whatsoever to keep you here, because you were forced to kill, which our constitution tells us is an excuse for committing murder."

"So what you're saying, is, that I'm technically innocent?" I laughed, rolling my eyes.

"Tell me about the day you ran away from home." He said, ignoring my question.

I thought about it, but after all he was here to help me and try to at least let me have a life.

A life with Leah.

"I didn't run away. We were on vacation, my family and I. I was going to go back to the hotel when I heard a girl crying and started to get nosy. When I walked around the corner, from where I had heard the noise, I saw a girl pressed against the wall by some bulky man. She was telling him to get off and I helped her to do so. When he pointed his gun at her I just lost it and broke his neck by punching him in the face too hard." I told him, sighing as I remembered her face that night.

"Who was this girl, have you known her?" He asked.

"I didn't back then, but a year later she saw me doing a job which didn't end very well for my sake. That's when everything started to mess up."

"Mess up, how?"

"We started dating, she then got raped by my boss and kidnapped." I told him.

"What happened then?" He asked me curiously.

"Well, after I had rescued her and killed my boss, I got her home and got back to The Cave."

"Mhm." He nodded.

"And that's when I started taking the lead, but not even 3 weeks after that I landed here." I said and looked down, I had to admit, it was hard to think about all of this.

"What about the day you got arrested?" He asked me curiously.

I laughed as I looked up to the ceiling, ruffling my dirty hair.

"We, uh," I said, cursing mentally, because I didn't want to talk about it.

"We were in Disney world." I smiled to myself,"we were watching the stars and the firework. It was a perfect moment." I told him as he nodded, giving me a warm smile.

"I told her about the Venus and how it was the North Star. She was surprised, that I even knew such a thing, I'd even say she was admiring me in that very moment." I began, but realized what I was doing, so I cleared my throat and continued with the story.
"When Zahir and Emily joined us again, we decided to head home and that's when I saw police cars everywhere." I sighed.
