INMATE

Two

Today was the day I've been both excited for and dreading

I got up and put my hair in two French braids before doing my makeup

I walked into my closet looking for something to wear

I put on a red bralette, a plain black t-shirt, and tucked it into a pair of denim ripped jeans

I then grabbed a pair of converse and slipped them on my feet

Its currently 5am and the sun itself is barely up

I grabbed my bag and phone on the way out of my room before walking downstairs and grabbing my keys and walking down to the first floor and into the garage

I opened my car and set my stuff down before I started it and made my way to the prison

"you'll be fine lyric you're fine"

I told myself

on the way I decided to stop by Starbucks and get a drink to get some energy

I parked my car and grabbed my stuff walking up to the door taking a deep breath

here goes fucking nothing

I opened the door and walked to the front desk

"hey how can I help you"

The lady asked

"umm hi i'm Lyric im the new therapist here"

I said as she looked at me

"you poor girl....anyways here's your pass i'll get adam down here"

she said

umm okay

"lyric nice to meet you"

some guy said walking towards me

"hey nice to meet you too"

I said kindly

"thank you so much for taking this job we were in need"

he said

"of course I enjoy helping people"

I told him as she smiled

"your girls are mostly kind they wont try to hurt you or shit like that"

he said as we walked down halls

"and billie"

I asked

"well she shouldn't try to we'll have her in cuffs the whole time"

he said as I nodded

"this is your room"

he said as I walked in

it was a concrete room with a metal table and two chairs on opposite sides

"We'll have you start with miss O'Connell to get the hard shit out of the way"

he said as I nodded

"i'll go get her"

he said as I smiled and set up my stuff sitting in the chair playing with my nails

"get your fucking hands off me im fucking walking"

I heard down the hall as they walked in the room

"i'd fucking kill you if I wasn't in cuffs"

she huffed blowing hair out from her face

"behave billie"

they said shutting the door
