Good Luck Hiding

Chapter 6 (pt 2)

Part two, woop woop!! Anyhoo, I just reached like 118 reads for this story and I seriously like jumped up and down and started dancing lol. I know that's not a lot for Wattpad but it is waaaay more than I thought I was going to get so, yeah.This is going to be from Cil's point of view and possibly partially Cole's point of view. I know it may seem like things are going like waay too fast with Cil and Cole but they have a lot of history between the two of them. I'm going to keep putting flashbacks in through out the book so you can understand their relationship more.. Enjoy!!

   CIL'S POV:

"You know, It's weird.. I didn't even know who you were two years ago but as soon as I saw you in the hall crying that day.... I felt the need to be close to you.." He said. I- I didn't know that... I look up from my now soaked lap and see that he has this far away look to him.. Like he's remembering something. I reach over and grab his hand in mine. He looks at me and smiles sadly. There's a look of regret in his eyes that worries me.

"You know, after I got over my hate for you I felt the need to be close to you too, Cole." He chuckled but it wasn't his normal chuckle. "Is everything-"

"No... Everything isn't okay.... I-I need to tell you something and you're probably going to hate me once I do." I took a deep breath and began to reply but he stuck his hand up.

"Don't say you won't because I know you will. I- I uh... I kinda lied to you Cil.." A look of confusion passed over my face. What does he mean? Does he really hate me? UGH! How stupid could I be?!? He must've seen the panic on my face because he said, "It's not what you're thinking. I do love you Priscilla. I always will. I, I erm... I mumhmm..." He mumbled the last part so I didn't hear it. I raised my eyebrows.

"You what Cole? Speak normally for Christ's sake!!" I said.

"I know Mason.. I know the man who killed Clarissa.." Carissa is my mother.. No. There's no way... I feel.. Betrayed. I feel betrayed. I feel like my heart just shattered into a million pieces. Then.. Then I just feel pissed. I stand up, over Cole, and slap him as hard as I can. His head jerks and I can already see it turning red. I turned on my heel and walked away not even bothering to look back. I ran up to the lake and sat there. I was on the deck hanging my feet over it.. THis is so confusing. He knew him? He knew Mason?

"Priscilla please!" I heard him call. I turned back and looked at him, fresh tears streaming down my face.

"How could you? Why didn't you tell me?!? How long have you known him? How do you know him? Are you in a gang? What the fuck Cole!" I screamed. I'm so damn confused. Cole came up and sat down beside me. There was a long pause and I just stared off into the distance- you know, like in the movies when there's a really dramatic scene? Yeah.. This was kind of like that. He grabbed my hand and I yanked it away, turning the other direction.

"Cilla, please let me explain-"

"Explain what Cole?!? That you know the man who killed my mother and you neglected to tell me?!?" I exclaimed.

"Yes.. Well, not really... I didn't know it was him until you told me the story.. I've known Mason since I was twelve. I'm ninteen now so I've known him for.... Seven years. Mason was my best friend. He went through some pretty fucked up shit when he was a kid.... His.. Erm.. Someone related to him is the head of the most feared gang in the country so he was expected to join the gang. To answer one of your questions, no. I am not a part of this gang. I met Mason in seventh grade.. I was walking home from school and I heard a loud groan so, being curious as I am, I followed the scream. It was Mason. He was in an ally curled against the wall. I went up to him and saw that he was covered in blood.. I crouched by him and saw he had a deep cut in his arm.. So, long story short, I took him to my house, Mum cleaned him up, and he left. I didn't think I was ever going to see him again until I saw him at the store stealing stuff. He got caught and for some reason I covered for him... After that we kind of became friends.. About three years ago he told me he was in a gang. I wanted nothing to do with that but I didn't want to lose my best friend so, We made a deal..." I really didn't see what this had to do with him not telling me about Mason...
