Chapter 22: Every Killer has their motives.

(Rob's POV)

It took about a half hour to get to the place I needed to get to. I walked in the front door and handed the guy my ID and keys as I walked through the metal detector. I was all clear so I walked through to the help desk.

"Emmett Parker, please" I said to the guard. He looked through the book of in-mates and finally found it.

"Sure thing sir. I'll have someone escort you in there. Did you want to talk in private with Mr. Parker?"

"I was hoping I would that is if you don't mind."

"No, Sir not at all. Follow Officer Jessica Leigh please." I nodded and followed Officer Leigh to a small conference room.

"Someone will bring him here in a few minutes, Sir. If anything happens please push this button and a guard will be in here immediately." I nodded at her. I sat there alone for a few minutes. I tried to figure out what I was going to say to him, what I was going to ask.

The door opened and the guard brought Emmett in. He looked terrible. He had a black eye and bruises all over his arms. I felt like I should feel bad but I just couldn't. He almost killed the woman I was planning on marrying.

"Rob?"

"Hi Emmett."

"What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to ask you something."

"Is she dead?" He said softly.

"No but if you would have gone farther she would have been." Emmett was now sitting in a chair across from me.

"Oh. That's fortunate…for you than."

"What you have to say doesn't affect me. I have two things you don't have."

"Oh yeah…what's that?"

"Cecilia…and my freedom."

"I don't give a fuck about her. She is a worthless whore and she's just using you for your money."

"Really? If you didn't care than why did you ask if she was dead?"

"I…I…I don't know. Just making conversation since you are here I guess."

"Oh. Well I would like you to answer some questions about what happened…and why?"

"Like what?" He said arrogantly.

"Why did you stab her?"

"Cause I felt like it. She denied my love and then I tried to punch your lights out and she got in the way…"

"Who did you want to die? Me or her?"

"HER! I had plenty of opportunities to stab you. Like now for instance."

"You know Emmett you are lying right to my face right now." I searched his thoughts for something to know more about. Nothing…just hatred…hatred for me…for Cecilia. Was it because she didn't love him anymore? Did he like that attention but still never wanted her?

"I never said I was honest." He looked down at his hands angrily.

"Emmett. I'm more like you than you may think. I know what it's like to love someone and have them not return that love. The only difference is…she died."

"HEY! I don't want either of you to pity me. I stabbed her so what she'll get over it."

"THAT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU JUST GET OVER!!! BECAUSE OF YOU SHE IS BACK AT THAT HOTEL STILL CRYING BECAUSE SHE CANT HAVE KIDS. YOU RUINED THE ONLY THING SHE THINKS SHE CAN GIVE ME."

"Good you and her don't deserve kids." He was cocky and arrogant. What on earth did Cecilia see in him? Whatever it was this is who he really is…his true colors. "Well asshole…wanna try and lecture me some more? Thanks to the three of you I'm fucked into being here."

"Just to let you know… I forgive you. For what you did to Cecilia and Me."

"HEY I NEVER ASKED YOUR FORGIVENESS! I DON'T WANT IT…IF I HAD THE CHANCE TO DO IT AGAIN I WOULD!" He was hovering over me now. I pressed the button that was in my pocket and two big guards came rushing in. They took him away and that was that.

Officer Leigh was standing outside the room waiting for me. "Was everything alright?"

"I found out a lot thank you Officer."

"Oh no problem. Do you mind if I ask what happened with him?"

"The other night he punched my girlfriend twice because she was defending me. She pushed me out of the way and took the punches. Then last night he stabbed her in the stomach. The paramedics pronounced her dead but than her heart rate increased. So she isn't dead but still badly hurt."

"Oh, I am so sorry. I hope she is okay though."

"Thanks. Well thank you for letting me see him. Good day Officer." She nodded and I walked away. I got into the cab that was still waiting for me. I hadn't been in there long. Just about 20 minutes. I grabbed my cell phone out of the back pocket of my jeans and checked my messages. There was one from Chelsea.

-Robert Thomas Pattinson! Why didn't you tell us about Cecilia. I can't believe you didn't tell us. I'm infuriated with you right now mister! Please tell me she is okay. Why do me have to find out through Chloe? YOU can never just tell us. UGHH. Have Cecilia call me when she is feeling better pleaseeeee!

There was one from Cecilia that was sent ten minutes ago.

-Rob, my parents are taking me and Chloe shopping in town. If you want you can meet us there. We plan on going to Harbour Town. If you text me back in a few minutes I'll have Haley stay put and wait for you to get back.

My text to Cecilia.

-hi honey. Okay I'm on my way back to the hotel now. If Haley wants to wait she can. If not I'll see you back at home.

Cecilia's text to me.

-Okay honey. I'll have Haley wait for you. I miss you every second we are away from each other.

-I miss you too Cecilia. I'll see you soon.

The driver drove for about a half hour and we arrived at the hotel. Gold Coast was certainly beautiful but this visit may have been a little too much. I handed the driver the money and I got out. I walked over to the elevator and got in. I wasn't alone. A girl who seemed to be like 15 was in there with me. She kept looking over and her thoughts were saying oh god it IS him!

"Hi. How are you?" I asked her.

"Uh um. Hi." She giggled and then the elevator opened to her floor. She waved goodbye and the elevator closed. There were no more interruptions on the way up to the penthouse. I got out of the elevator and walked over to our door. I unlocked it and Haley was asleep on the sofa.

I threw the keys on the counter trying to not make much noise but she must have heard me come in because she woke up. "Hi Rob."

"Hi Haley. How are you?"

"Tired. We barely got sleep last night…worrying about Cecilia."

"We all were. Shall we go meet them?"

"Yes. I think we should. Cecilia said she hates going anywhere without you. She even said being away from you drives her crazy. I can honestly tell you that I see what she means."

"Ha. Thanks." I rubbed the back of my neck awkwardly and grabbed my keys that were on the counter by the door.
