i get back to my cell and decide to take a nap.
i haven't been paying attention to vinnie lately. i'm waiting for him to talk to me first, so i know i'm not bothering him.
++
lunch comes around. the guard is taking me
to the cafeteria.
once i arrive there i go meet up with elizabeth. i decide to not get food since i'm not hungry.
"so have you talked to the hot prison guy" she smirks, "no i haven't" i say in a dramatic why.
"why not?" she questions. "i don't know" i decide to not tell her the reason, she might end up being dramatic.
"how long have you been here for, you seem like the type to count" she laughs. "about a month, i guess" i give her an estimate.
"i knew it" she laughs, saying she knew i would count the days. "my birthday is in two days" i randomly say with no emotion.
"omg i'm definitely gonna get you something"
she says excitedly. "your literally in prison how?" i look at her confused. "oh yea duh, guess i can't once i'm out i'll make sure to get you a gift" she laughs.
"let me guess your gonna be turning 19, aren't you?" she guesses correctly, "yes i respond"
for some reason i can't help but think about vinnie. i want to talk to him. i'm so desperate to talk to him. why am i starting to feel like this, in the beginning i wasn't even sure if i could give him a chance or kil anything.
the officer calls all of us to go back to our cells, snapping me out of my thoughts.
i get up and go to the guard waiting for him to
put my handcuffs on. finally hes done.
he leads me to my cell, i look over and see vinnie leave for lunch, i decide to just sleep for the rest of the day, until dinner.
++
dinner comes and goes. i lay down on my bed staring up at the ceiling. this life is so utterly boring. i wish i could've changed that night so i wouldn't have to be here.
i let out a groan putting my hands to my face. this life is so repetitive and i'm tired of it, i want to leave this stupid fucking prison.
there's still 11 more months i'm counting til i get to leave and have my normal life back.
i hear vinnies cell open, he comes and lays down. i stay quiet. i want to talk to him, but i don't want to bother him. i fight the urge and decide to stay quiet.
"kyra" i hear vinnie whisper. i turn towards him with a smile smile that slowly faded when i saw him. he looked tired and lonely, more angry. "hi vinnie" i whisper back.
[vinnies pov]
she turned towards me with a smile on her face that slowly faded after seeing me.
"hi vinnie" she whispers back. i forgot what it was like to see her beautiful smile, she looked so pure, and gorgeous. he eyes were lit up when she looked over at me. the sparkle fades along with her smile.
i smile at her, making her smile once again. "i missed talking to you" i admit. "i missed you" she replies. she missed me, as in me?
she looks down nervous after she said that, "so how has your day been?" i ask tying to make small talk. "it's been ok" she replies shortly.
"it's been a month since we been here" i've been counting the days me and her got here, today's a month of living in this stupid fucking cell, communicating through a hole, i chuckle at my thoughts.
"i know, i've been counting" she replies with a calm tone in her voice. "i've been counting too" i reply.
"my birthday is in two days" she smiles nervously as she says that. "no way, i wish i could get you something but i obviously can't, i live in a cell with no money" i laugh.
"yea it kinda gets pinky, my birthday is never really that special to me, but since i'm in a cell thinking about my birthday excites me for some reason" she laughs. i laugh along as well.
"with our shitty lives, i guess we never really cared, since no one else did" i shrug, i care about her though, now she has someone who cares about her, it's me.
"yea, birthdays just made me feel more lonely than i already am" she responds, "you won't be lonely this year, cause i'll be here" she smiles as a response. i'm glad i make her smile.
"well goodnight vincent" she says, "how do you know my actual name?" i question. "i heard it the first night i saw you, they called tou vincent instead of vinnie" she laughed, i begin to remember what happened.
"oh yea" i chuckle. "goodnight kyra, i'll see you tomorrow" i tell her.
i think about it for a while. kyra deserves something for her birthday. everything that has happened to her she doesn't deserve, i want to get her something but i can't.
then it clicks to me.
[kyras pov]
it felt good talking to vinnie. i'm being honest i missed him, and his company.
he's so sweet and nice. i like how he reassured me about my birthday, how i won't be lonely this year, cause he'll be here.
i blush at the thought of him.
i don't want to fall for him i'll never see him again after this year, but i can't help it. he's just perfect, why haven't i met him long before.
when i felt so lonely, i needed someone like him, and now i have him. i need to stop thinking about him all the time. he's just too perfect. i wonder if he thinks the same about me as well, or really just wants company.
i decide to not think about what he thinks of me, this isn't some high school love story after all.
i finally decide to fall asleep, waiting for tomorrow to arrive so i can tell elizabeth what happened.
