Cole's POV
After telling Adeline about my past, I felt a huge weight being lifted from my shoulders, 'cause now I'm not the only one that knows about it besides my family. And when she told me that she'll never leave, and that I was the first person to want to get to know her made me wonder where she came from and why she was on the train.
I just makes me wonder where all the bruises, cuts, and scars came from the first day I saw her, and why she acted the way she did towards me. Back then, she was traumatized, not in her right mind. And when she pleaded to me about 'not taking her back to them' made me so curious. But as I've said before, it would kill me to ask about it, because I can sense that what she's gone through is way worse. I will wait until she's ready to tell me, and I won't urge her to tell me, though I want to know badly.
What she must've went through was horrible, and I don't want her to be reminded of the pain. Even though she know my secret and past, I won't demand to know hers. Her reaction, and the way she looked that first day I met her was scary, she was as pale as a ghost and as skinny as a piece of paper. Where ever she came from must've left a permanent mark on her, and I don't mean physically because I already know it has, but I mean mentally.
When she said that I saved her in a way she couldn't explain, it made me happy to know that I had such an impact on her and still do.
Now lying here with Adeline by my side, I don't think I've ever been more sure about what I want in life as I am now. I have my arm wrapped around Adeline as her head rests on my chest, her breathing slow as she sleeps.
She means the world to me now, and I don't want to let her go, I don't want to loose her...ever.
***
We've been on this train for four days now, and our next stop is Pennsylvania, we just left Kentucky yesterday as some of the cargo was loaded off, the car that we've been staying in being one of them. We were almost caught, but were able to remain unnoticed by the unloaders.
Now we lean against the crates and boxes, eating the last of the apples that Adeline had packed from the hotel. I bite into the ruby red surface of the apple, and gaze down at Adeline.
"When we get to Cambridge, is there any place you'd like to visit first?" I question and she looks up from her apple and gazes at me, her dazzling hazel eyes scrutinizing my face. She stays quiet in thought but then answers my question.
"My old neighborhood, my old home," she says and I nod.
"Do you remember how to get there?"
"Yes, and it's not that far, so we can just walk there," she states, taking a bite.
"Sounds good," a small smile plasters on my face. Just then the train whistle sounds, filling the air and echoing off the walls of the train car.
I pull Adeline closer to me, refusing to let go.
Because I will never let go.
