When I heard my parents were coming over I couldn't stop but think about how I was going to cry and scream till they send me back home but little did I know what was cooked up in front of me.
Before my parents came by, I was given several injections to get me to sleep and by the time my parents came by, I was rendered totally helpless.

I just laid there like some kind of a vegetable while my parents sat by me and sobbed and went all lovey lovey over me with zero idea how much of a hell they've put me through. I tried muttering out something to my mom but before I could say anything vivid enough, I was sedated again and I woke up back in my cell. "No!!!!! Mom!!!!! Mom please!!!! I'm here... please...plea..." My voice faded as I bursted into tears feeling totally hopeless.

"Issa why are you crying? Are you sad because your parents left?" Bella asked me as I tried pretending to be strong. "Don't worry... It's okay.. I'm fine. I'm just a little off because I couldn't talk to them... I'll be fine don't worry" I said as she touched the glass wall and I faced it with mine just as always. That was our way of encouraging eachother to be strong.

I just laid on the floor crying silently as I heard the guards dump someone into the cell next to me. It was Oscar, and he looked like shit. "oh my God what did they do to you?.. what did they do?... Oh my gosh I'm so sorry.." I spat out tearfully as he just laid on the ground motionless as his mouth watered like a sickler.

CAREX NARRATES;
"I don't know okay??? Why don't you go to their parents yourselves and ask them? Leave me alone!!!" I spat out angrily at Emily and her friends who wouldn't stop asking the whereabouts of Lisa.

I mean I get that Emily was devastated about her best friend's supposed death, and was just concerned but I was also going through just as much pain. I mean it's not like Issa was actually dead for real, they were just kept in the dark just like everyone else.

"Hey Care... I get that you're upset and all but I mean you never really liked Issa, so why are you this broken over her death?" Kinley asked me as we sat at the cafeteria eating our lunch. "I don't know..." I spat out bluntly. "Have you heard from Lisa? Is she coming back again?" Miguel asked me which basically made me lose it. "I don't know okay??? I don't! Just leave me alone..." I snapped and then stormed away from the cafeteria in angry tears.

JORDAN NARRATES;
Ever since I took a life something changed in me. I didn't want to hurt her I swear it but Boss has my little sister Riya, I couldn't let him hurt her too. He basically took everything from me. My mom, my dad, my home, my entire happiness.

Apparently he and my dad were business partners and then my dad got greedy and started stealing from him. If Boss was known for anything, it is his cruelty and unforgiving nature. When he figured out my dad has stolen from him, he murdered him and my mom too and then decided to recruit me into his gang to pay for my dad's indebtedness to him but when I refused, he took my little sister and threatened to kill her next if I defied him so I had no other option than to comply.

Riya is basically the most important thing to me in my entire life as a person... Without her I find no good reason to live. She is the only reason why I try to live hoping one day I could manumit myself and give her the good life she deserves and there was nothing that could stop me, even though if it meant taking a life for her sake, I am willing to do so.

I thought killing Issa to protect my sister could have at least given me some piece of solace but I was so wrong. It is definitely way bigger than that, I actually felt super horrible and couldn't live with myself even though I try telling myself there was no other way...

I really hated myself and couldn't even go to school for weeks. I was afraid to see her sister let alone look into her eyes and what would I even say? Give her my deepest condolences when I'm the one behind it all? The thought of seeing Lisa ruined because of me just made me feel terribly awful and I know I deserve every bits of it.
