Eli's POV

Miss. Marin and I are currently in juvenile hall detention center waiting in line for visitation.

"Maria Marin", a police officer calls out from the door into the visitation rooms.

"Yes I'm here", Miss. Marin waves her hand stepping out of the long line.

"Step right in", the police officer says signaling her to enter the hallway.

"Can I go in too please?", I sputter.

"Who are you to the inmate?", the officer creases his brows.

"Her brother", I lie.

"Sorry but only guardians of the inmate are allowed for visitations", the officer responds bluntly.

Asshole

I huffed letting out a breath as I sat down on a chair in the waiting room.

It sucked not being able to see Gia at all.

I need to see her that's the only way to ease a bit of the pain I'm feeling of not having her by my side.

What if I just break her out of here?

I'll just call Alex and Xavier and us 3 can take out this place and I'll have Gia with me again

Gia and I will just leave town, change our names and identities, and live happily ever after

Wait!

Gia would be pissed at me especially if she has to cut her long hair which she adores

Fuck plan is dismissed

Slumping down my shoulders in defeat I send a text to my father.

Text message to Pops
I need to talk to you asap

Text message from Pops
Please don't tell me you got Gia pregnant

Text message to Pops

Text message from Pops

Text message to Pops

Text message from Pops
Be home in an hour we'll talk

Gia's POV

Today is my visitation with my mom.

I really am looking forward to seeing her in order to calm my sanity down.

This morning I attended county school that's offered in my unit.

At least I get to finish up my credits in here for my diploma.

If anything I'll be done with credits faster than in high school since you earn them faster in here.

"Time for visitations!", Officer K shouts.

Officer K is a nice woman with short blonde hair thats always tied into a ponytail.

She has brown eyes with freckles all over face.

She's about 5'7 in height also she's very well built.

So far she's the only one I have connected with since I've been here.

I really like her and in some way look up to her.

We all step out of our rooms as we stand still facing the wall with our hands straight down to our sides.

She starts calling out names.

After 5 names are called mine is finally called.

I turn my heel lining my self up behind the rest of the girls.

As soon as Officer K was done

We headed out towards the door ready to see our loved ones.

"Hands behind your backs", another male officer demands.

We all did as told or else if you disobey your visitation would be cancelled.

I was now seated in a steel chair that was bolted into the ground with my hands on top of the little table that was also bolted.

"Hands on tables at all times", Officer K shouts through each room as she passes by.

Suddenly I see my mother step in the room.

My eyes locked with her beautiful hazel eyes like my own.

All sorts of emotions stirred up in me.

I was so happy to see her, but at the same time I just wanted to get up hug her tight and cry like a baby.

But sadly I couldn't.

"Gia how are you doing?", she says as she sits down across from me.

"I don't want to be here anymore", my voice cracks holding back the lump in the back of my throat.

"Honey I'm sorry to say this, but you did this to yourself", she lets out a sigh as her eyes begin to get glossy.

"I know I fucked up bad.. I regret it"

"Don't worry baby girl I'm looking for a lawyer"

"Thank you mom.. What has my probation officer told you?"

"Your facing 3 to 6 months"

I don't even want to be in here for a month

I can't imagine being here for 3 months or more

"Have you talked to Elias?", I change the subject.

"Yes he's outside waiting"

"Really? Am I going to see him after you?", I respond feeling excited to see him.

"No he isn't allowed in only guardians"

"Please get me out of here", I beg as a tear manages to escape.

"Don't cry baby you'll make me cry now"

Suddenly I just couldn't hold my emotions back anymore.

These past two years I've been so cold hearted since Rey.

I never showed emotions or yet alone cry in front of anyone not even my own mother.

I would always just keep it to myself and drink my pain away.

Or at times just turn it into anger.

Since Eli came into my life all these walls I've built up has tumbled down completely.

He saved me from myself

He has truly proven himself to me in ways that no one has ever bothered to do.

He has changed me completely.

Elias Gold has won my heart and I can 100% say my heart is completely his forever.

"I'm sorry for everything mom I swear I'm not the same person anymore", I cry my eyes out to my mother.

"I know you are don't worry everything is going to be okay", she cuffs my hands into hers.

Her touch made me feel an ease of reassurance that everything will be okay.

"I promise to do good from now on", I say holding onto her hands tightly.

I can tell my mom wants to cry like me, but one thing about her.

She's one bad ass strong woman.

I know it's taking everything in her to hold back her tears because she's wants to stay strong for me.

Especially since I'm falling apart in front of her.

"Elias took it upon himself to get the best lawyer for you"

Of course he is this doesn't shock me at all.

I knew Eli was going to do everything in his power to help me in any way he can.

This is why I love him with all of my heart.

I'm surprised he hasn't broken in into the facility yet to try and bail me out.

That's some shit he would definitely do just to have me by his side.

"Please except his help mom.. You can't do it by yourself", I firmly say as I wipe my cheeks from the wet tears that bursted out earlier.

"Fine", my mom huffs.

"Visitation is over", Officer K says through a speaker.

"I love you mom", I say standing up from the steel chair.

"I love you too baby girl", she says back leaning over to give me a hug.

I hug her tight as I whisper in her ear.

"Tell Eli I love him and to not worry or do anything stupid"

My mother nods her head as we both pull away.

Officer K stands outside of the door when I turn my heel heading out of the door.

I look back at my mother who's leaving out the door from her side.

I couldn't help but feel so hopeless.

All I want to do is to run to her hug her tight and go home, but that's impossible right now.

I'm stuck here unfortunately.

After having my dinner which was nasty by the way.

I lay on my 1 inch mattress staring at the white plain ceiling above me.

All I can hear is beeps echoing throughout the unit making sure all doors were locked.

Keys were heard jingling as officers walked by every 2 minutes checking into our windows to see what we were doing.

Lights never went off in here if anything at night they'll dim the lights for us to sleep, but other than that they remained on at all times.

My mind drifted to when I first saw Eli.

A smile formed on my lips as memories flew by in my mind one after another.

I miss Eli so much.

If the worst happens and I have to stay in here for 6 months.

I wonder if Eli would still wait for me?

I'm sure he would

Suddenly my conscience speaks up reassuring me.

"I love you Eli"

Is the 4 words I whisper to myself as I shut my eyes hoping for a better tomorrow.
