Weak For Him || Darkness Book #1 ✔️

Chapter 78 | Acquaintances

Liam's Pov

I can't believe I'm in prison. How the fuck am I supposed do this without my queen. I need her now more than ever. This place is gonna turn me into an animal even more.
I'm practically alone here, no one I know is in this place apart from my enemies. Fuck!
I'm just hoping that I don't extend my sentence because I will not back down from no one. I can't! Injured or not. I'm not wired that way and this is not the place for weakness.
I just need to keep my head down for Stacey's sake.
Laying here on my tiny bed, staring up at the ceiling while my cell mates at work. But he's not to bad to be fair. He's a bit of a weird guy but what do you expect when he's already done eighteen years. I'd go crazy too.
It's been two days since I spoke to her.. my baby and I miss her like fucking crazy!
I don't want to be selfish with her, but she wants to wait for me. What the fuck do I do?
I need and want her to wait but this is my fault. My problem, not hers. So she should live her life. I did the crime.. why is she doing the time too? It's not fair. She needs a life without all off this shit. She deserves better than this. Better than me. Fuck!
I need to hear her voice. I need to call her. I need a fucking phone!
"Johnson, dinner" I suddenly hear from the cell door and clench my jaw in no mood.
Getting up, I make my way out the cell and down to the cafeteria seeing plenty of dickheads that hate me. Fuck, this isn't going to go down well.
'Keep your head down, keep your head down!' I repeat over and over in my head. Do it for Stacey. You can do this, Liam.
Suddenly I'm barged past and I feel pain radiate through my shoukder and my temperature rise as I look up.
"What the fuck... Stefan?" I pause looking at him. Wow, he's grown and the fucking muscles on him. Good, as least I know someone.
"Liam fucking Johnson, my brother" he says and slaps my back hugging me. Ohkay..
"Come with me bro" he says and I follow him happily.
"How long you been in man, fucking hell your huge now. Not that skinny kid from school anymore" I tease and he laughs, shrugging looking at me.
"Transfered up from young offenders, it's been a while since I've seen the outside world bro" he says and I wonder what he did.
Walking straight to the front of the queue with him, I grab a tray and  stand next to Stefan seeing everyone staring at us unimpressed. I just look back smirking. I think I'll stay with Stefan for a little while. I can't believe he's here as well.. Maybe this time won't be so bad after all.
Looking at the food there serving out yet, jt doesn't look too bad for prison anyway. We grab our tray and make our way to a table and sit with a couple of Stefan's boys.
"So what did you do this time Johnson?" Stefan asks laughing and I roll my eyes thinking about how fucked up the job went.
"Possession of a firearm and gbh" I tell him and he shakes his head.
"When you out?" he asks me, devouring the food.
"I got three years because I pleaded guilty" I say and he nods understanding.
"I need to keep my head down and get back to Stacey" I tell him and he looks at me surprised.
"Stacey Bloom.. you're still obsessed with her bro" he asks and I nod. No one's reaching my queen in my eyes.
"Absolutely, I need to call her after we've eaten" I tell him and he smirks at me. What's he up to.. I know that face..
"I've got you bro, we'll go back to my cell" he says and I nod definitely wondering what's he up to?

Walking back to Stefan's cell, I enter agter him and he closes the door and starts rummaging around the mattress looking for something clearly.
Suddenly handing me a phone, my eyes light up and I nod at him, appreciated.
"Call her, I'll keep watch outside" he tells me patting my back and leaving.
I quickly dial her number hoping she answers.
"Hello?" she says and I relax at the sound of her voice.
"Baby.. it's me" I tell her and she practically screams down the phone. Laughing, I pull the phone away from my ear and suddenly hear her sniffle. Fuck, please don't cry, baby.
"Are you okay. Who's is this number, Liam what have you done?" she questions and I laugh again. She knows me well.
"Remember Stefan from school, he's in here. But, I'm okay baby, don't worry about me. How are you?" I ask her and she sniffles again.
"I miss you, baby. So, not great.. but I'm here" she says and it makes me sad to know she's not living her life. She's just stuck waiting for me.
"I miss you too, what you been doing?" I ask her needing to know she hasn't just been stuck at home.
"Avoiding Victor, and going to work" she says and I clench my jaw at the mention of his name. Why the fuck is he sniffing around what's mine!?
"What do you mean, what's he doing?" I ask knowing exactly what she's going to say.
"He keeps showing up at work and at my house to check on me, he won't leave me alone baby" she says and clench my jaw, grindingmy teeth. I fucking knew he'd swoop straight away the fucking dick. She's mine!
"If he gets to much just ring Trent, baby, please tell me you're doing more than going to work.. You're living your life right?" I ask her and she sighs.
"Trent sees me every other day, checking up on me and he knows about Victor already. But, I can't do anything without you Liam. Everything reminds me of you" she says and I sit on Stefan's bed with my head in my hand.
"Baby you need to live your life, please.. for me" I tell her and I can hear her cry again. Fuck!
"I can't Liam. I need you. You are my life!" she says forcefully but no!
"Stacey Johnson, you will live your damn life. You can't just do nothing for three years, you are not doing the time.. I am!" I growl wanting to punch something feeling all these fucking emotional rushing to the surface. I can't do this!
"Right now all I can do is think of you, I'll get better. I just need time baby" she tells me and I nod my head. I can work with that.
Suddenly Stefan pops his head in and signals for me to put the phone down.. Fuck!
"Screws are coming I have to go baby, I love you and miss you Stacey Johnson" I say as quick as I can.
"I love you too-" I just catch and I switch the phone off shoving it under the bed quickly. Fuck! I can't do this. I need time and privacy to talk to her. I need out of here!
