Siriyah thought she had paid her time, she thought she could get her life back on track. But instead she's going through more and more trials, she's upset, angry, regretful and tired. Yet she finds something along the way. In the beginning all she w...

I stood, with my hands holding onto all my stuff as I waited for the gates to open. I was finally out, and I could go get her. The thing buzzed, and the gates began opening. But with the state I was in, I couldn't really pay attention.
I was stuck thinking about my entire life, until I heard a ring go off. I quickly turned my head back towards the prison, I saw a guard standing there. He had his hand on his gun as if I would do something.
"This is the part where you walk out, or do you want me to lock you back up?"Instead of answering his stupid, sarcastic question I rolled my eyes turning back towards the gate.
I took my first step, taking a deep breath. After that I took step after step, until I spotted my aunts car. She was one of the two last people I could call family. She came to visit me every time she could, while I was in there. She sometimes gave up her last dollar to put towards me, she was the only one who believed me.
When I got locked up, I was only 16. I hated myself for it, but I had to do what I did. Me being in this institution was hell, I had to deal with so many things I didn't even realize people delt with in there. It opened my eyes, with also showing me I never want to be in there again.
My head shot up when I heard a honk. Turned my head holding my hand up when the sun started blinding me. I spotted my aunt's car and started walking over. I opened the passenger door and stepped in, throwing the last stuff I had in the back.
I didn't even look over at her I just laid my head on the window waiting for her to start driving. I heard her sigh, before she put the car in drive and began driving.
"Are you okay?"
My mind zoned out at her question and I wasn't even aware of where I was as my mind flashed back towards a time in prison.
Flashback
"What you think somebody gone baby you cause you what? 16?"a former prisoner started to get in my face as we sat in the cafeteria eating.
"Bitch did I tell you to baby me?"I asked and she started chuckling, then looked back at her "friends". I say it like that, because in here you have no friends. Everyone is just waiting on that time to leave, not giving a damn about anyone.
"Bitch"she pulled her fist back about to swing, but I moved my head then swung. Mine actually landed, that pissed her off. She stumbled back, and I didn't even see it but I felt it when someone grabbed me by my hair from behind. I was yanked to the ground, and they all started hitting me and kicking me.
I grabbed one girl, pulling her to the ground and started beating her. If I was gonna get jumped, one of the girls was gonna be way more hurt then me. They began just kicking, and hitting her too not really giving a fuck.
Like I said, nobody is friends.
Soon the guards pulled everyone back, and when they talked to me. Even tho I was jumped, I got added 6 more months. My face was fucked up, and I was ready to air the whole prison out.
"SIRAYAH"My head snapped towards my aunt, as she yelled my name.
"Yes?"I asked confused on why she was yelling.
"Your crying Siriyah"She said and I reached my hand towards my face feeling wetness. I pulled down the sun visor looking in the mirror, and I saw tears running down my face. I quickly wiped them then turned towards my aunts.
"I'm fine, let's just head to the attorney's office so I can go get her"I spoke looking at my aunt, but I got confused when she made a face.
"What?"I asked, but she didn't answer.
"Why are you making that face jasmine?"I asked calling her by her name. She sighed then looked at me, before turning back towards the road.
"You know I can't get custody over her ray, and with your criminal record now, your not able to either. I talked to the lawyer"She spoke, and my heart broke. I've been waiting 4 years only to be told no?
"W-what?"I asked my voice cracking as I was on the verge of breaking down in tears. She looked over at me seeing my face, before focusing on the road so she didn't break down.
"I'm sorry ray I've pushed and pushed"
"B-but I've been waiting, I paid all that time. Jas I-I can't leave her in the system, it'll ruin her like it ruined me. She'll turn out just like I did, jas p-please"I broke down, holding my head in my hands as I cried. She was all I had, and they were saying I couldn't get her.
"We'll talk to them tomorrow, I promise you we'll get her"
