Girl Next Door ✔️

Chapter 70

Amazing covers by Ishitadey1 I love them!

I stared out of the window, as Cole drove the car.

He was following Mr. Cage's car.

James' dad was on his way to the asylum, to get James out of there.

It was proved that James was innocent, and he had to be taken out of the hell hole.

Cole stopped the car, As he looked at me.

I nodded, as we both got out of the car.

Cole followed James' dad in, and I was close behind.

The building was white, colorless. Lifeless.

How could one live in such a place?

I sighed, as I walked in.

I noticed Cole standing there, waiting for me.

I grabbed his hand, as he led me inside.

James' dad was talking to the psychiatrist in his office, while I was sitting in the waiting area.

Cole was with me.

We weren't talking.

I just want James out of here. An innocent won't pay for something he didn't do.

I can't repeat Jasmine's story.

Not again. Not on my watch.

"Hey, Xandra?" Cole asked me.

"Hmm?"

"I love you."

"I know."

Cole rolled his eyes, as I chuckled.

It's been two weeks now, since the incident.

My wound was healing. Cole's wound was healed completely.

I scooted near Cole, as I saw a weird aged man, staring at me, through a window.

I looked away from the creepy man.

Cole wrapped his arm around me, as I waited for James' dad to come out.

After a while, James' dad came out and nodded at the two of us.

I stood up, so did Cole.

"Room no. 286" James' dad said, as he took a seat in the waiting area.

We walked towards the elevator but found out that it wasn't working.

We used the stairs to go up.

Looking at the wooden door, I realized that we both had to go in.

Room 286.

I think I'll go alone.

"I wanna go alone." I blurted out.

Cole looked at me, before hesitantly nodding.

"I'll wait here." He said as I opened the door.

I stepped inside the isolated room.

It was a small room, white walls, and a white ceiling.

Everything was colorless. Lifeless.

The only furniture in the room was a wooden table. And two chairs.

My eyes settled on the grey-eyed boy, who was silently sitting on one of the chairs.

He didn't notice that I entered the room.

"Hey," I said, sitting on the chair opposite to him.

He looked surprised to see me.

Before quickly covering it up.

Always the one to hide emotions.

"You here?" He asked.

"Do you want me to go?" I asked him back.

He shook his head.

"Why are you here?" He asked me.

"I wanted to meet you," I said, smiling internally.

"Meet me?" He asked, unsure.

I nodded.

"How are you?" He asked me.

"Fine. How are you?" I asked him.

Damn, it looked as if I was in a meeting or something official.

"Not the best. All the people I've truly loved have left me." He said, looking at his hands on the table.

I reached out and grabbed his hand, before squeezing it.

He looked up at me.

"He liked you," James said, smiling.

I nodded, unsure of what to say.

"He did have a good choice." He said, smirking.

I rolled my eyes.

"I don't think I'll ever stop loving you." He suddenly said.

I remained quiet. Before saying.

"I'm the reason your brother is dead, and you love me?" I asked bitterly.

"That's the Xandra I know. You love taking the blame, don't you? But just so you know, this all wasn't your fault. " He explained.

I sighed.

I realized it was time to go.

"Come on, let's go," I said, standing up.

James looked confused.

"Go where? Have you forgotten? I'm stuck here." He said as I rolled my eyes.

"That's the reason why I'm here. To get you out of here." I said, smirking.

It took James a solid five minutes to understand what I just said.

And when he did, he hugged me.

I laughed, before walking out of the room, James following behind.

Cole was patiently waiting for me outside.

"Come on," I muttered as both of them did their bro hug.

As we reached near James' dad, He hugged his son.

I smiled at the scene.

"Let's go, son." His dad said, but James shook his head.

I shot him a confused look.

"I'll come after a while. I need to go somewhere." He informed his dad.

Dad nodded before looking at me.

I smiled at him, as Cole nodded at James' dad.

His dad left.

"Where to?" I asked him.

"Jasmine's Grave," James said, walking out.
