I combed down my blown out hair as I hummed a song to myself. It was one of the only things I could do in here. Read, write, and repeat. I would normally spend most of my days in the library or in my cell scribbling mindless thoughts any and everything untill this day finally came. It finally arrived

The day I get the fuck out of this hell hole.

I been waiting for the past 3 years to leave this place. I lost a lot in this process. Just because I was surrounded by informants. Now I know who's really down for me and the ones that I can't count on. Including my b- ex boyfriend. This was all his fault in the first place. Getting caught up with him, involved in his mess of a life. Now he's somewhere under his new girl living the fast life. My sacrifices are what's funding his life of luxury.

I now know that I'm not tucking or moving nobody else's weight except mine. Lesson learned.

I stared at my reflection. I look so different from when I came here. My hair had grown from my shaved head. My hair tipping past my shoulders. I had a visible scar on my face from I fight that I had with one my old cell mates. That hoe tried to kill me with that broken mirror shard. It's okay because I wasn't the one who left in a wheelchair. I made sure that hoe couldn't walk again.

"Barmer"

I turned around and looked at the guard. She had the gate open and smiled a little. I was well liked in here. I always kept to myself to quiet besides for a few bitches trying me.

"Finally that day huh?" I muttered smiling back.

"Girl, 'bout time. No reason why you down for some shit that nigga did." I nodded getting up dropping my mirror and adjusting my grey sweat suit.

"Never again." I responded walking past her out the gate she slammed shut.

"Make sure you stay out 5.0 eyes. 'Cause I know you about to go back out there on your bullshit." She was cool for real. This shit was just a job to her.To put it softly, on the outside she was a whole different bitch.

"We'll see" I chuckled and followed her out of the facility.

"Diamond going home y'all!" I heard mutters and whisper behind me. I contained myself. Once I step out this bitch I'm dragging.

"Can I stop by Mocha's cell?" I got a nod in response.

"GIRLLLL!" I heard her loud ass mouth a mile away. As soon as the gate opened she jumped on my ass.

"I'm miss you so much." Mocha was the only hoe I liked in here. She was a real bitch from over west. Her brown curly hair adorning her brown skin as she swung me in our hug.

"I'm miss you too hoe." She smiled

"Awn look at you getting out. I can't believe the day has finally come. It's gone be dry in here with out you." She pouted.

"Girl, you get out in 5 months." My hand placed on my hip.

"Stilllll." We both smiled and started laughing.

"Alright bitch get going. You better knock some sense in that bitch nigga's head." She stated pointing her finger at me." I shrugged walking out her cell.

"Eh I'm not even worried about that nigga no more." She rolled her eyes and sat down on her bed as the gate closed back. I gave her one last wave before walking away.

It seemed like the longest walk towards the check out desk. When I finally got there they gave me the shit I came there with. Just some clothes, my old ass phone, and my wallet. I nodded at everyone as I walked out. Hearing beeping at the main gate.

"You can now exit." The automated voice said as I walked out. I smiled and stretched.

"I'm out." I muttered before I can even pick up my phone I seen a car swerving towards me.

"MY BABY IS OUT." Of coarse, it's my mom. I laughed. She ran towards me pulled me into a big hug. In the car was Nuz which I was surprised to see considering it was about time for him to be heading back to college.

"Sis!" He pulled me into a hug too and I closed my eyes it had been awhile since I seen him. I know how hard it's been on my family dealing with me being down.I'm so happy they're here now.

"LOOK WHO THE FUCK IS OUT. THEY DONE LET MY ACE OUT." I knew that was Dani's loud ass mouth anywhere. She had her phone in hand recording.

"YOU LOOK GOOD WHORE!" She screamed putting the phone down. She went into my hair touching it.

"Girl I look like I just got out of jail and stop screaming." She pouted.

"Whatever. All's I know is I'm ready to braid this shit up. You went in baldy now you got all this hair." I laughed and pushed her.

We all got in the car and my mom started driving

"So what you trying to get into?"
