Caleb's POV
"Enjoy your new cellmate, Faggot." The officer spat, roughly pushing me. His aim was off and I sliced my arm on the cold, metal bars. I gritted my teeth and took the pain as I landed on the concrete floor.
A boy about my age looked up from a magazine.
"What's he in for?" He asked, nodding his head toward me. He had spiky, brown hair and honey-colored eyes.
The officer smirked evilly.
"Prostitution."
Then he slammed the cell door so hard it made my ears ring.
"Fucking watch yourself, Rent-a-cop!! Don't fuck around like that." The boy threatened, covering his ears.
The officer walked away laughing.
"Bastard." I muttered, pulling myself off the ground.
"Damn, kid. You okay?" The boy asked, not looking up from his magazine.
"I'm fucking great." I lied, brushing myself off.
He laughed.
"Yeah, getting thrown in county jail is always fun."
"It was the highlight of my day," My voice dripped with sarcasm.
"Right between being a cheap slut, and getting the brakes beaten off of you." He scoffed.
I couldn't control myself. Once I'd registered what he said, I jumped at him. I'd known him for three minutes and I already wanted to beat the shit out of him.
The boy quickly stood, and somehow managed to pin both my hands against the wall, before I could even understand what was going on.
I struggled, but he was too strong, and that's fucking crazy because he wasn't much bigger than me. I at least thought it would be a fair fight...
"Now why would you do something like that, kid?" He asked cockily.
I gritted my teeth.
"I'm not a cheap fucking slut."
He rolled his eyes at me.
"Of course you aren't, darling. You're a high class whore working in the finest brothels."
I wanted to spit in his face.
"What if I am?!" I shot back at him, feeling my eyes water.
"Then kudos to you for being a common slut." He shrugged nonchalantly.
"Fuck you..." I told him, letting the first tear fall.
He let me go.
"You couldn't pay me enough to fuck you, I don't know where you've been. Plus, you're probably too loose."
I let the tears fall and sank to the ground, not making a noise. I wished I wasn't like this, I wished I could get away from everything. I wished I had my lighter, and parents who loved me... But at that moment, I wished for something I swore I'd never think about again. I wished I could die...
...'s POV
I sat there and watched him crying. I wanted to apologize and hug him and tell him I never wanted to hurt him again. I wanted to stare into his liquid sapphire eyes and tell him how beautiful he was, and how everything would get better for him. I wanted to know his name... But I ruined fucking everything...
"Good job, jackass." I thought sarcastically to myself.
I climbed back onto my cot and picked up my magazine, but the words looked blurry to me. I couldn't see anything except for the bright, tear-stricken eyes of the beautiful boy across the room. My heart started pounding and clawing at my chest. I felt like the room was getting smaller and smaller. I couldn't breathe, my chest hurt like bloody hell. Nothing like this had ever happened before...
I clutched at my chest in agony. Was I dying?
Then, I felt a sudden urge to beg for the boy's forgiveness. I gasped and it felt like razors were sawing through my ribs.
"I'm sorry!" I said loudly. My voice was hoarse and broken. Then, the pain suddenly stopped.
The boy turned around and looked at me as if I had gone mad. To be honest, I thought I had too.
He didn't say anything back to me. He just turned back around, so he was no longer looking at me.
I was so confused. Holy fuck, was that my conscience? What the fuck did he do to me?! It was so fucking sudden...
I layed down, looking at the nameless boy. How could he make me feel that way? I didn't know whether to beat the shit out of him or to grovel at his feet.
I tried to shake the thoughts out of my head. I didn't want to think anymore...
I just regretted everything I said to that kid.
