Lincoln sat on his bed his knees pulled up. One arm resting on his knee his hand dangling. He tapped the back of his head lightly against the wall behind him. He hadn't heard from Veronica in awhile and he was starting to get worried.
He was glad that she finally believed him. Veronica wasn't known for her brains but she was passionate, when she did something she put her heart in to it. He knew she would fight for him even if it meant putiing her life in danger.
He cared for Veronica, deeply, he didn't know if he loved her, he hadn't seen her for years, he was hurt that she believed he was guilty. Veronica had always seen the good in everyone, he thought out of everyone she would be the most likely to believe he was innocent.
He was numb, he had been in jail for three years, in that time he had learned to shut his emotions off, the only emotion he knew was anger... and love, when he let himself. Like when LJ and Michael had visited, he could almost forget where he was for just a moment. Emotions were a dangerous thing to show in prison. They could get you killed.
Lincoln closed his eyes and leaned his head against the wall, he thought of his son. In his miserable life he hadn't met too many people who he would do anything for. LJ was one, Michael the other.
He was scared for his son, he hated being in jail not being able to hold him. To teach him right from wrong, to help him to stay on the right path and become someone special. He wanted to see his son grow up, marry, have children, be successful and happy. But LJ was in the same situation as he was now, in jail for a crime he didn't commit. The best thing Lincoln could hope for was he didn't get the death penalty.
Lincoln opened his eyes a single tear rolled down his face
