Somewhere in each one of our stories, we have someone chained to us, much like we also chained to someone in their story, secretly.

NYLAH LENORE
I woke up on top of somebody and started to panic.
It was dark as hell and I know for a fact I wasn't in my cell.
"Maaa stop moving" She groaned sleepily.
That voice..
"Razor?"
"Hm?" She hummed.
"Nothing" I said quietly.
"No, tell me ma. What's going on?" She asked.
"It's nothing I promise" I said laying back down on her chest.
She wrapped her arms around me and I winced still feeling sore.
"My fault" She loosened her grip.
I had already gone to sleep so I'm pretty sure I wasn't going back any time soon.
I listened to her heartbeat instead.
"You not sleepy nomo?" She asked.
"No" I said quietly.
"Talk to me then.. why did you get locked up?" She asked.
"My stepdad was an abusive alcoholic who tried numerous times to molest me but he luckily never got the chance to. The most he did was regular abuse me and my mom. Never my other siblings. So one day, I came home and it was only him there. I tried to sneak upstairs but he saw me. I was tired of being beat on by him so I grabbed me a weapon. Thankfully there was a gun that I could get in time because if I didn't I would've been dead. I shot him as self defense but it ended up killing him. My mom and siblings automatically assumed I murdered him for no reason and had me arrested. So here I am" I confessed.
"Damn.. that's fucked up fr ma. I'm sorry"
"Can't cry over spilled milk yk? I already got life so there's really no hope for me" I chuckled.
"Nah ma, don't give up like that. Your lawyer is good as hell I know for a fact she'll be able to prove your innocence. See yo momma probably hid evidence or even paid someone to make you guilty. Just have some faith" She rubbed my back.
Maybe she's right.
"Thank you.. I'm sorry for crying on you earlier" I said.
