"Are we there yet ?" I keep asking this question.
"Nope... Kinda." I can tell Adam is excited.
"Ugh Adam come ooooon!"
"Nope!"
After thirty more minutes i feel the car come to a complete stop.
"We are here my lady."
He helps me out the car. The blind folds are still on.
"Okay remember when you said in fifth grade that you always wanted a brown, hazel horse named jessie?"
"Uh huh." My smile grows even bigger.
"Well.." He unfolds the fabric around my face.
I struggle to see. I blink a while as i see a farm. A beautiful farm with miles of free land. I barely notice that Adam is not by my side. The meadows filled with flowers.
Adam clears his throat behind me. I turn to see a beautiful hazel horse.
"Jessie." I come close to it and pet his head.
"This bolt."
Adam is standing next a dark horse. With a white spot on his stomach.
"Hi bolt!" I give him a warm smile.
"So your ready to ride her?"
"What? Ill fall!"
"You wont know unless you try." He smirks and winks.
~~~
I wake up crying of the idea that Adam is in jail.
"Honey Officer Charles called today. He said you can see Adam at any time you want."
I get up so quickly i got dizzy.
I stumble around trying to find my clothes and shoe.
"Are you alright in there?"
"Uhh yeah! Do you think they will let me bring food for him?"
Im all ready. I open my door fast. My mom almost falls. Maybe cause she was leaning against the door.
"Ill give them a call."
"You do that."
I run down stairs. My dad is eating his breakfast. I sit down across from my dad. My plate is full of eggs and bacon with a chocolate chip pancake. I smile at the thought of when Adam and i were in third grade, for lunch he brought chocolate chip pancakes ,i tried not to laugh .. Then he said why was i looking at his pancakes... (At that point ive never tasted chocolate chip pancakes) i was to shy to say anything else ... So he just gave me a pancake. I feel in love with them since then.... I loved Adam since them.
"Officer said yes you can bring food for him."
"Did they tell you who tried to ... You know rape me that night ?"
"Charles is going to tell you once you get there."
"Okay then lets go."
I didnt really finish my breakfast so i just take my pancakes with me. I kiss my dad good bye.
"Come on lets go!"
As we get in the car the silence starts.
"Can we go to dani's drive for to go?"
Dani's drive was were our first date took place.
"Yeah sure."
"Order the big juicy burger and a large fries with a chocolate fudge milkshake."
She nods. As she takes the order i stare at the parking lot. My eyes stop once i see you guy with blonde hair,plaid shirt,jeans, with dirty boots. He is just standing there staring at me. He looks furious. I want to say some thing but it looks like no one else has notice. Am i crazy? Some one calls out his name... Henry. He looks back and said something. I looked at my mom who is on her phone. When i look back he is walking away toward a brown jeep.
Im speechless. Was he looking at me ? Why was he mad? What the fuck?
"Okay thank you."
My mom hands me the order.
My thighs feel warm from the bag. As we drive off the jeep is still in the parking lot.
"Are you okay?"
"Uhh...yeah just excited to see him."
Once we get there more cars are parked in the parking lot then there was yesterday.
We walk in the building. People .. More like a family that are sitting in the wait room.
"You bitch!" A girl about my age come towards me spitting her words out.
"What... What did i do ?"
"Your little boyfriend killed my brother!"
"Why are you calling me a bitch then?"
"Fuck you! You were there! You and your boyfriend should rot in jail."
"Your brother was going to rape me!"
"He wouldn't hurt any one like that!"
"Well apparently you don't know you brother that well!"
I storm off into Officer Charles office when i see Adam in a chair with his head in his hands.
"Adam!"
He realizes it me. He gets up walking quickly.
He hugs and squeezes me as i try to put the bag of food on the table.
"I missed you." He whispers and kissing my cheek.
"I missed you too!" I hug him tighter . Tears begin to fall.
As we let go my mom and Officer Charles are talking.
"Officer charles? Uhh who are those people that are in the wait room?"
"Ben's family. He is the guy who ... You must know him he went to your school. He was in you grade."
"Ben johnson?"
He nods. I barely even talked to ben. He was always shy. I saw him once at a party. How can ben do that? I start to daze off as so many questions fill my head.
"So... They believe we should go to jail?"
"Yes they say that you two don't deserve to be here any more."
"But..."
"She did nothing... I was the one trying to save her from him." Adam's voice cracks.
"We know. There was two people who witnessed it. Sara parker and her boyfriend john smith."
"So how long is .. Adam going to be in jail?"
"Well its hard to say. He turned himself in. He admitted every thing. People have witnessed it too. But he did kill ben."
"Wha... So.." I have no words to say. I want him out of jail.
"We brought you something to eat." My mom breaks the silence.
"Dani's drive." He smiles at the bag.
As we sit and wait for any answers Adam eats like if it was his last time.
"Thank you." His mouth is full. I smile at the mustard that is on his cheek. I wipe it off with a napkin. His brown curly hair is puffy. The dark circles under his brown eyes.
He looks tired. I don't like seeing him like this
"Officer Charles. Mr. Rook is on line two." A lady sticks out her head by the door. As officer Charles take the call we sit in complete silence.
After forty minutes he finally finishes.
He looks threw his paper work not saying a word.
