Convict

19.

Fireworks seemed to explode inside of me, there were so many emotions flooding through me at the same time. I was so overwhelmingly happy, yet I was desperately sad, my heart wanted to encase him and preserve him forever. I pulled back from our kiss and he rest his forehead on mine, his breath fanning across my face as he closed his eyes "I wish I could have this forever" He mumbled

I sighed as I closed my eyes, his hands still holding firmly on my waist holding me close "You will have me forever"

He laughed softly and pulled me even closer "I'm starting to think, that only you could fall in love with a convict, Chloe Coulson"

He was right, of course in my ill-fated life I had fallen for someone like him. I wiped my eyes and smiled at him "Convict, not murderer"

"Yeah" He smiled "My Chloe, how would I have got through these past few months without you?"

"You wouldn't" I replied cockily, trying to keep positive and happy. I didn't want to spoil the mood after all the effort he had put into making this special. "You would be sad and lonely and still the arrogant self-righteous jerk that you were"

He laughed and cupped my face in his hands "You softened me, cracked that stone cold heart of mine. When the days comes, I know I can go peacefully knowing that I had you, that I loved you and you loved me"

"I'll always love you" I whispered "For as long as I live, I'll love you"

We spent the rest of the evening laying together just talking, kissing, laughing and enjoying each other's company. It was amazing, I felt so special, so loved. It was finally time for me to leave, I stood up and held Oliver's hands as I walked towards the cell door. He smiled "I wish I could walk you home"

"I'm sure I can make it" I smiled at him, leaning over to kiss him again "I love you, thank you so much for tonight. You have no idea how much this meant to me"

"You have no idea how much this meant to me" He sighed, suddenly looking sad as he looked at our hands together "Thank you for coming"

I squeezed his hand "I wouldn't have missed it for the world, I'll see you in the morning" I kissed his cheek and we said goodnight. I left the cell and closed it as quietly as I could, quickly I grabbed my bits from the office and began to walk home, sneaking out the side door so I wasn't seen.

Once I finally got home and into bed I grabbed my phone to see a messaged from Henry "Hope you had a good night sis, speak to you in the morning. Love ya'"

I smiled and put my phone back down and soon fell into a deep sleep. I found myself in the middle of a horrible nightmare, Oliver was in it, so was my mom. I was walking through my childhood home; the lights were off; I could hear my mom calling my name in the house somewhere. I shouted for her, the house was so black I could hardly see, I was feeling my way around the house, listening to my mom calling my name.

I struggled up the stairs, the air was heavy and cold. I could feel it creeping into my lungs, it felt like tiny ice crystals were forming. I called for her again, her voice sounded from somewhere on the left. My hands dragged along the cold wall, feeling for the door which I knew was there. Finally, my hands found the door frame and I lead myself through, I called for her again only to be met with silence. The fear was creeping further through me; my breath came out shaky and was the only sound in the room. This room was the coldest in the whole house, it used to be my old bedroom expect there were no windows, no light entered the cold, dark room as I stood completely surrounded by the darkness.

I looked around, rubbing my arms in an attempt to warm myself up. I called for mom again, still silence until suddenly there was a voice in my ear, a voice I knew only too well. It was Oliver, suddenly the room was flooded with light. We were in Oliver's cell, I gasped as I looked around to the door, I could see the hallway to the house outside and watched as he slammed the door shut.
