2:30 pm

juliet had just gotten out of school for the day and was now on her way to the county jail to volunteer.

she needed volunteer hours for one of her classes and her dad that works as a correctional officer said that she could volunteer there.

once she arrived at the county jail her driver dropped her off at the front where she walked in to the front desk.

"how can i help you?" the middle aged lady asked juliet looking up at her from her computer.

"hi, i'm officer watkins daughter and im supposed to be here volunteering" she answered smiling at the lady which then she returned it.

"you may come in when i unlock the door and then you're going to go to the other desk and ask for your father" the lady said then unlocking the door.

"thank you, have a great day" juliet said and then walked in and went ti the other desk.

she saw multiple people sitting cuffed to the bench. some of the older men looked her up and down smirking at her. it disgusted juliet the way he looked at her.

once she reached the other desk the lady smiled at her.

"how can i help you miss?" she asked and juliet returned the smile.

"the lady at the front told me to ask you for my dad, officer ben watkins" she said and the lady picked up her walkie-talkie.

"can i get officer ben watkins to the front office, officer ben watkins to the front office please" she said.

"so what're you here for?" she asked curiously and looked at the young girl.

"i'm volunteering here to get hours for my school" she said and the lady nodded.

"hey, how was school?" she heard her father behind her. she turned around and gave him a hug.

"it was good, how's work going?" juliet asked.

"same as usual new criminals old criminals different charges" he said and she lightly laughed.

"alright so we'll have you sign in marissa everyday, so you'll have to come to this desk and tell her you're here and she'll tell you your tasks for the day." her father said instructing her as marissa printed out a sheet.

"here is the clip board you'll sign in on" she said handing her the clipboard where she signed in.

"and when you leave you'll check out with her" officer watkins said and his daughter nodded.

"alright you're going to go with officer clarke while i run some errands and he'll take you to your first task" her father said and she looked shocked not really wanting to talk to anyone else at the moment.

an officer came around the corner and walked over to juliet and her father.

"i'm officer clarke i'll be directing you today, are you ready?" he asked juliet and she nodded and followed behind him.

they went into the elevator and there was 5 levels in total. the one she was just on is where the booking process happens and she was going to the bottom one where the worst criminals were.

office clarke pressed "1" meaning they were going to the worst level.

once the elevator stopped the two got out but juliet zipped up her jacket because she'd figured that none of these guys have seen a young girl in months.

"is she here to see me clarke?" an elder man lightly laughed looking her up and down which disgusted her.

"i want that one." another guy said as she passed them by.

"she's too young for you dumbass" officer clarke said.

as she continued walking and passing more jail cells she got catcalled a lot.

they stopped in front of a cell and there was a boy that looked around juliet's age dressed in the orange uniform.

"danyel your two-thirty is here." officer clarke said grabbing the keys from his side and finding the right key to unlock the cell.

once he unlocked the door it swung to the side and juliet walked in. the teenage boy stood up from his bed and stretched showing his full height.

"would you like me to stay with you?" officer clarke asked and juliet shook her head 'no'. officer clarke walked away and juliet stood next to the boy.

"why didn't you wear goggles, i could gauge your eyes out right now" the boy said and laughed as she took a step back.

"don't worry i won't hurt you, i promise" he said laughing yet again.

"so tell me about yourself" juliet says as she goes to reach for his uniform but he twist her hands around and hold onto her wrist.

"don't touch me" he says and she pulled her hands away from him and nodded.

"what's your name?" juliet asked.

"alex" he said blankly.

"i'm juliet"

"i'll call you juli" he said and she smiled and nodded.

"why are you here?" juliet asked which then alex repeated the question back to her.

"why are you here?" he asked.

"for volunteer hours" she said.

"oh so you're only visiting me because no one else does" he asked looking into her eyes.

"i don't know why i'm visiting you they didn't say anything" she said.

"well i'm here because i stabbed my family to death." he said blankly making the girl back away.

"i'm joking, you'll figure out why i'm here someday." he said not telling her the correct answer.

juliet and alex had talked for a bit before the thirty minutes were up for her to leave.

"bye alex i'll see you tomorrow" she said and he rolled his eyes knowing that he's gonna end up dealing with her a lot.
