Friends, Maybe More

Chapter 42

***

We arrived at the prison at about 1:15 and it took a lot longer than I expected but that also meant that I only get about 45 minutes with my dad then he's gone.

We walked into the prison and Harry was holding my left hand while I held the note with the cookie on it in my right hand.

***

The cop told us to go down the hall and take a left and he will be in the first cell on the left.

It pained me walking down the hallway.  I never thought that I would ever be in here.  Especially because of my own father.

I saw him.  My dad.  He looked awful.  It looked like he had been crying.  His eyes were puffy.

I felt tears fall down my face.

"Dad"

"Katie baby"

"Daddy how could you do this?  You caused yourself to get killed.  Did you ever think to get help? why didn't you talk to me or even tell me?"

So many emotions  were in my mind.  Angry.  Helpless.  Sad.  Upset.

"Katie, I don't know.  My mind got to me and I listened to it.  I didn't tell anyone because I would get sent somewhere awful.  Without you.  Without anyone.  But I thought that I could get away with it but obviously I didn't and one choice caused my life."

His eyes were full of tears.  So were mine.

"Daddy I don't know what to say to you.  I looked up to you.  Now I have to erase all good memories with you.  I wanted to follow in your footsteps.  I wanted to go to the same college you did.  I would become a lawyer.  I would live in the same neighborhood.  Same office building.  But I can't do any of that because it would remind me of you and your horrible, horrible mistakes."

I could tell that he didn't want to say anything and knew that he couldn't say anything.

Harry grabbed my waist and pulled me close to him and held me close.

An officer walked up to us and came a bit too close.

"It's time"

The officer took out a key and unlocked the cell.  I handed my dad the note with the cookie.  

"I love you Katie"

"I love you too daddy.  Be good."

He smiled at me.  Which brought more tears to my eyes.  I'm going to miss that smile.

"Keep her safe.  Protect her."  My dad said reffering to Harry.

"I will sir"

I walked up to my dad and gave him a hug that lasted about a full minute.  

"Goodbye daddy"

He walked away and he turned the corner.  And that will be the last I ever see my dad.

A/N:

This chapter was really hard to write.  I hated reffering to the dad.  But I had to write a really good chapter and I hope that you agree that this was a pretty good chapter.  But I think I'm going to start doing something.  I think that I'm only going to update if I  get 5 reads on my most recent chapter.  Because I know that there are only a couple of you reading this I don't think that I need to keep updating.  So yeah 5 reads for the most recent chapter starting now.  Talk to you then.  Love you -xx  Read!  Comment!  Vote!
