Surviving Hell's Corner

Day One (continued)

(Billie's POV)

"So newbie, what'd you do to end here in unit four? You ain't exactly spilling your guts yet." I asked Haley persistently trying to figure out what she did so I can use it to my advantage so I can get rid of her like I did my last roommate. They obviously put her here to get rid of her quickly like they did with all my other roommates. This girl seems different. Even the way I looked at her didn't scare her away, the way I smirked at her didn't seem to make her uneasy either.

"I hurt myself" She said dryly but I know there's more to it I mean you don't end up in unit four just because you yourself. I rolled my eyes at her dry response. "Yeah, yeah, but that ain't the whole story is it Haley?" I said, my tone challenging. I looked at her curiously waiting to hear what she had to say. "Come on don't be afraid love, I won't bite. Spill it. What's this dark secret of yours?" I asked her persuasively trying to get an answer out of her.

"I almost killed my stepdad" She mumbles barely audible but I heard. My eyes couldn't help but widen at her confession. She's a little crazy...I like that. "Almost killed him huh?" I said my voice low and my tone approving of her actions. "What'd he do? Did he push you too far?" I asked curiously. She has a violent past...interesting. "Why'd you do it?"

"He hurt my mom." She paused taking a deep breath "Every time I tried to get him to stop he would hurt me too. I guess I couldn't take it anymore. One evening he came home drunk as usual. I guess he was gambling again and lost so he came home angry and he took it out on my mom. It's crazy because the reason he was mad was because she hadn't finished making dinner. Anyway there he goes again hitting her. I yelled at him to stop he got even more angry and charged toward me so I grabbed the nearest thing to me which was a knife on the counter that my mom used. I...I stabbed him...and I couldn't stop.I guess the neighbors heard my mom's screams and called the police. So...now I'm here." I froze, shocked at the reason she was in unit four. I know that's not everything though that probably would land you in unit two or three...not four? I won't ask anything else though. She looks like she's been through a lot these past few days...I can kinda tell...somehow. I know the look on her face all too well. The eyes, the slight frown and the tried look on her face. "I hate a motherfucker like that." I said sympathetically. "Yeah. Me too" She responded in a soft voice. Shit...That's heavy she does not deserve that... Nobody does. "Well if you ever want to talk I'm here okay?" I reassured her. I'm not sure why I just said that. I don't usually reassure people or make them feel safe around me but for some reason she made me feel....I don't know...

She pursed her lips, "Thank you" she said. I gave her a small, reassuring smile in return. I went back to where I was and began to finish my drawing. I haven't drawn anything that looks at least a little bit normal in a very long time.

I think I would really enjoy drawing Haley though she is very gorgeous. I hope she wouldn't think I'm crazy or weird for drawing her but I really admire her sharp jawline and eyes, her full heart-shaped ruby pink lips, her long dark silky black hair...she's amazing. I've never seen anyone as beautiful as her in my whole life. She's as pulchritudinous as foggy deserted woodlands, or maybe even a dark lone snowy forest. I could go on and on about how amazing she looks for hours and I don't even know her yet we literally just met but she seems like a good person. I don't think she's like anyone I've ever met but it doesn't really matter anyway. She might just end up hurting me too. I can't let myself get attached to anyone.ever.again.
