Chapter Fifty-Five
Sam
Grace and I all day did was talk about when I was little, so I described my parents a little, I forgot a lot though so I guessed on some things.
"I can't imagine them doing what they did to you." Grace whispered as she laid upside down on the edge of the bed.
"I know," I whispered back.
"Can't believe it, until I see them."
"Speaking of them when are we getting picked up tomorrow?"
"Early, about eight."
"That's early?"
"To me, yes." I laughed at her, she was so funny. "What?" She said sitting up and looking at me on the other side of the bed.
"You're too cute that's all." She crawled next to me and rested her hand on my hand which was on my leg. "I'm tired," she said resting her head on my shoulder. I ran my fingers through her hair and she fell asleep an me. "Goodnight Grace," I whispered. I rested my head on top of her head and I listened to her breathing slow down and soften. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
"Sam," Grace yelled in my ear. I jumped.
"What?"
"You have fifteen minutes."
"For what?"
"Officer Koenig called, he will be here in fifteen minutes."
"Oh," I got up got dress and brushed my teeth.
"Sam, do your hair." Grace said when I walked in the kitchen. I ran back to the bathroom and brushed my hair.
"He's here," Cole said looking out the window. There was a knock on the door and Grace went to answer it.
Grace
"Hi," Officer Koenig said.
"Nice to see you again." I said, "Come in," I shut the door behind him and went into the kitchen to get him a cup of coffee. "Here you go," I handed him the cup.
"Thank you." I sat down next to Sam on the other couch and he wrapped his arms around my stomach. We waited until he finished his coffee and then we left. It was a long drive to the jail house. I thought it was sweet that they let Sam's parents stay in the same jail. "We're here," Officer said. We got out of the car and walked slowly to the jail. I was scared, and I could tell Sam was too, he kept squeezing my hand harder and harder.
"Ready?" Sam sighed.
"Ready," I said. Officer Koenig walked us into a little room and he told us to wait. He asked Sam after a few minutes to come with him. He was going to see his parents first.
"See you in a while." Sam said turning to me before going down a long black hallway. I hope Sam's parents will love Sam again, but what I saw when I walked in was not at all what I expected.
