INMATE

one

I sat in my little town home apartment on the couch looking through emails

I've been a therapist for two years and I work with some

I don't wanna call them crazy but I guess some questionable people

at times it can be scary but I love my job and being able to help people

I struggled at lot mentally and knew that if i could help other people i would

I recently left my job at the mental hospital

i was put in some danger....like almost being choked to death

but that's a story for another time

I heard the door open downstairs

the way my house worked was the first floor was the main door and garage the second floor was kitchen dinning room bathroom and living room and the third floor was two bedrooms

i heard footsteps walk up the stairs

"hey"

my best friend Ashtyn said

I turned my head to look at her

"how was work"

i asked

"ehh work"

she sighed flopping on the couch

"how about you"

she asked

"well I got a new job offer"

i said opening the email

"ooo what for"

she asked

"some local womens prison they needed someone and i guess i was on the list"

i said skimming through it again

"a-are you sure you wanna do that"

she asked nervously

"i mean someone nearly killed you last time"

she continued

she has a valid point

"They need someone and I need a new job....plus don't they have to be in cuffs the whole time"

i asked her as if she would know anything

"I can see it now....you falling in love with a criminal you know like Harley quin and the joker type shit"

she said

"oh please I would never all of these ladies are in prison for some serious thing i'd be sick to fall in love with a criminal and a client at that"

i said as she shrugged getting up and walking to the kitchen

"Harley never thought she would either"

she said grabbing food out of the fridge

"I think i'm gonna take the job offer"

I told her as i set down my laptop

"I mean go ahead"

she said

i moved to the bar top and set my laptop down

"what are you making"

i asked

"I'm thinking tacos"

she said pulling tortillas out of the pantry

i nodded going back to the email to respond
