Chapter # 13

"What are you doing here? Shouldnt you be resting?". Someone said , while I typed away in the monitor.

When I looked at the owner of the voice, I saw Cole standing in front of my opened door.

"I cant stand wasting more time just resting instead of doing something". I said as I looked at him.

"I get your point". Cole said as he neared me.

I slowly tucked the sleeves of my blazer down nervously not wanting him to notice but to my dismay... He noticed.

"What happened to you?". He asked curious by my action.

"The car crash caused me wounds...". I said looking away from him, looking at the glass window separating the office from the real world.

"Let me see". He commanded wanting to see.

"It doesnt really matter". I said as I looked at him.

"I need to see please". He pleaded as he knelt in front of me.

I sighed in defeat as I took my blazer off, revealing my healing wounds...

"W-what did really happen... Allistria?". Cole asked as he looked at my arms in disbelief.

"Mom and dad...T-they did this to me...". I said tears started to swell out my eyes.

"I... I cant believe that they'd do that to their own daughter... what more to others". Cole said as he hugged me.

If only you know Cole... If only you know...

In his arms I felt safe... his scent comforted me... his warmth made me feel like I'm in the safest sanctuary I could ever be in....

Every night I would get nightmares flash backs of what happened that day... and Every time I would get comforted by Cole...

"It's alright". Cole said as he patted my back soothing me.

As I didn't notice myself dozing off to sleep as he kept soothing me.

Working in my usual office... I looked around the room remembering the moments I used to spend my time with Klaus... when...

"Spaced out again?". Cole said as he entered the room.

Having Cole by my side made me realize that what he's doing to me is what I've done to him before... Living in his mansion made me feel less lonely than I should be feeling... working in his Industry made me busy from thinking bout all the things that had just happened.

"Now I know what it feels like to kindda loose someone... but what I have experienced was different from yours...". I said I looked at him.

"I feel as if I don't want you staying in this office anymore...". He said as he sat on the couch.

"Then will I be staying in your office again?". I ask as I stopped typing on the monitor .

He just nodded...

A few hours later we just came from lunch, when I came back to my office everything was gone.

"It'd be better to let you stay in a better environment than there...". Cole said as he waved at me to follow him.

     I just nodded as I followed him to his office.

He may be like this to me since he's my friend and all... But because of all the kind gestures that he is doing for me... I feel so special.

I looked at him unconsciously in the middle of typing contracts for the project.

"Allistria". He called out.
