𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐆𝐔𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐒 𝐖𝐄𝐑𝐄 doing a search for contraband, since cigarettes and gum wrappers, or even gum was being found all over the camp. Aaliyah panicked silently, as she had no place to put the box of 'tampons', which were hidden cigarettes in her bunk. Janae noticed this, and quietly gestured to the girl. "Give it to me." Janae spoke quietly, holding her hand out. Aaliyah shook her head, knowing exactly what would happen to Janae if she handed the box of 'tampons' to her. Janae also knew, and she wasn't happy to go back to the SHU, but she didn't want someone she cared about to endure the suffering she endured the last time she went to SHU. "Give it to me." Janae spoke in a more demanding tone, that finally made Aaliyah sigh, handing it over when none of the guards were looking.
Finally, CO Donaldson reached Janae and Poussey's cube, making Aaliyah feel like her heart was going to drop out of her ass, when she knew exactly what was going to happen. She wanted to scream and cry, as she knew she couldn't do anything about it. "Jackpot!" CO Donaldson exclaimed, holding the box of 'tampons' up. Aaliyah and Janae made eye contact, basically communicating to each other without saying anything. Both of their eyes were teary, for different reasons. Janae's eyes were teary, because she knew exactly where she was going and she knew she was going to suffer, like last time. Aaliyah's eyes were teary, because she felt heavy guilt for not having a place to hide the cigarettes, so Janae wouldn't have to suffer again.
"How much these little rollies goin' for, huh? Got yourself a little business??" CO Donaldson mocked. "No sir." Janae spoke softly, her voice shaky. "Don't you 'no sir' me!" CO Donaldson shouted, causing even Aaliyah to flinch a little. "You start marchin' your pretty black ass to the SHU, I know how much you love it in there." CO Donaldson shouted, as he roughly grabbed Janae's arm, taking her to the SHU as her and Aaliyah made eye contact for the last time, a tear already making its way down Aaliyah's face.
Aaliyah turned her attention to Vee, who remained quite calm and silent about the situation. Saying that Aaliyah was incredibly angry at Vee was an understatement. she thought Vee would try to take responsibility for the cigarettes, but she said nothing and let Janae take the blame. Aaliyah turned away, going back in her cell, and sniffling, feeling the heavy weight of the guilt on her back.
Aaliyah wished she didn't even have possession of the cigarettes in the first place. She wished Janae didn't see her panicking silently. She wished Janae didn't try to help her. Aaliyah pressed her knees to her chest, trying to control the sobbing sounds that were coming out of her. She didn't want anyone to see that she was crying, because y'know.. you don't really want to be seen as 'weak' in prison.

𝐀𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐘𝐀𝐇 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐂𝐊𝐄𝐃 on the cell wall of Vee's cube. Vee looked up from her book, with a smirk. "Hm, Aaliyah. What do you need, sweetheart?" Vee spoke calmly, which shocked Aaliyah as Vee didn't look not even a little upset that Janae got sent to the SHU. "Can I talk to you?" Aaliyah asked softly, her dainty fingers fiddling with the cross part of her necklace. "Sure, I got time." Vee says, with a smile, scooting over on her bed and patting the spot next to her. Aaliyah gulped, hesitantly sitting down next to Vee.
Aaliyah sighs before speaking, gaining courage to ask Vee why she was silent when Janae got sent to the SHU.
"Why didn't you say anything when you saw Janae getting sent to the SHU?" Aaliyah asked hesitantly.
"It was her own fault that she got sent to the SHU. The two weeks she'll be spending in there will give her time to learn to not have the cigarettes in her bunk." Vee spoke coldly, as Aaliyah's face contorted into an angry expression that she was trying to hide. "But it wasn't her fault." Aaliyah defended, causing Vee to chuckle. "Yes, it was, Aaliyah. She took the fall for you. What, you think I didn't see you give those cigarettes to her because she told you to?" Vee spoke, causing Aaliyah's eyes to widen, as she just shut her mouth and didn't say anything else. "Don't worry Aaliyah, you and your little girlfriend will be reunited soon." Vee teases, with a smirk. "She's not my- whatever." Aaliyah spoke, with an eyeroll, leaving Vee's cube.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐃 𝐃𝐎𝐎𝐑 slammed behind Janae, as she was shoved harshly once again back into the solitary confinement room. Janae's face was already tear stained, as she cried silently all the way here. Janae herself didn't even know why she did to herself, again. Janae sat on the hard bed, as she thought about her actions, and why she did what she did. Her eyes widened as she finally realized. Janae was in love with Aaliyah.
She knew the best thing for herself was to mind her business, and let Aaliyah get caught instead, but she didn't care. She couldn't let someone shelovedgo to a place that was so isolating and evil.
The room smelled of mold and old rotten food, as Janae stared at the red door, that had writings from people that has been there in the past. Why did she do this to herself?
