Ripley Roberts

With today being visitation my sister Blair would be coming with the announcement that she has a few things to tell me, I was now sat with Alex waiting to be called into visitation soon enough we walked right in, I sat behind Alex while she was talking to her ex lillie which spun me in a circle.

"What is it Blair you haven't visited me in over a year" I sit down glaring at her while Alex kicks one of the chair legs "I'm pregnant" she mumbles, my eyebrows shoot up staring at her "no way" I say trying to not laugh at the obvious joke.

"I'm not joking Ripley, I'm pregnant and uhm dad died" she quickly says slowing down the last part I begin to shake my head "how?" I ask quietly looking down into my lap "he was in a car accident, a drunk driver, nobody survived" she replies.

Piper then walked into the visit room a moment later both her and some guy walk over to the vending machine which clearly say out of order, courtesy of a girl red threatened, when piper and the man saw the 'out of order' sticker piper tried hitting it like an idiot and ended up being called back into the room.

I was still in shock about my dad, he was the kindest man ever he was always supportive no matter what, I didn't even get to say goodbye, I wasn't gonna cry not here in front off all of these people.

Piper then started ranting about not being fed, well then you stupid bitch don't insult the food my god, I felt Alex turn around to look at piper causing me to do the same the both of us quickly turned back around continuing our conversations.

"Visiting hours have come to a close" the guard yelled causing everybody to start standing up "visitors please make your way to the exit" he yelled once more, myself and Blair stand up  hugging each other as Alex did with lillie.

Piper then hugs the man visiting her, I look to Alex and she nods meaning we both glare at her she looks over to us, Alex winks and I raise my eyebrows piper quickly looks away a few seconds later kissing the man making me groan in Discust Alex doing the same.

I stand next to Alex as lillie and Blair leave seeing Tricia plug back in the vending machines and mumble a "sorry" at piper, I burst out laughing and Chapman storms out of the visiting room causing my laugh to grow louder Alex now joining in.

Time Skip

Me, nicky and Tricia were called to the kitchen because of a broken freezer as soon as luschek began to explain what happened I zoned out and leaned on the wall while the two girls walked towards him to fix the problem.

Piper then marched in "this is gonna be good" I say nodding at Nicky, Chapman then started talking about fighting which immediately put me off, that bitch is stupid, "you want me to hit you" red questioned "yeah" piper speaks turning away.

Red then proceeded to scare piper away talking about starving her to death causing me to wheeze in the corner, luschek gets electrocuted making me wheeze more while Nicky looks at me and smirks.

It was as if a switch turned inside me and I realized that my father had died, "luschek your an idiot it's nobody's fault but your own, you fix something you turn it off fool" I yell after he yelled "did nobody think to turn this off!" I was livid.

Tricia and Nicky began to laugh as red stormed out of the kitchen but stopped when I did, I didn't follow red instead I went to my cube and began drawing my dad for the funeral, I wanted a part of me there I wouldn't get furlough.

I went to commissary to get some more pencils and food I saw Nicky was in front of me "Spanish ladies are calling you la Llorona, the wailing lady" Nicky smirks at piper while I simply scowled.

"Well they would've screamed just as loud if someone handed them a used tampon sandwich" piper replies in an annoyed tone while Nicky mumbles "oh yeah, or if they suddenly saw an ex girlfriend in prison".

"Hey what's her name? Alex?" Nicky asks quickly after her sentence making piper turn around and see me behind Nicky with my eyebrows raised "what did she say to you" she asks trying to sound threatening.

"Not a word I just know dyke drama when I see it" Nicky looks piper up and down "not to mention, Ripley knows all" Nicky adds "that she does dollface" I say making my presence known to her, she turns around and grips my hand smiling.

Chang calls Chapman up to commissary "yes hi, I should have some credit here my fiancé sent a check on Wednesday" piper mumbles, dumb cow it takes a week to process, which is exactly what Chang said.

"You can use mine not like your going anywhere" Nicky speaks up making me glare at her after all of that I got my pencils and candy and headed to my bunk once again ignoring anyone and everyone.

When dinner came along I stayed with Alex eventually we got our food and looked around for a place to sit when we walked past Chapman Alex slid a bit of food to her and I smacked her arm "we don't give her food vause" I whisper-yell as she waves me off.

Alex sits by taystee while I sit by myself in the corner not in the mood for any more interactions with people I hate, like the ungrateful bitch Chapman is she throws the cake Alex gave her away, Alex could get starved out too now risking her neck for her and she throws it away like the cunt she is.

After dinner I watch as piper walks into reds cube holding a bottle filled with a green juice of sorts, she puts the bottle on reds bed then just leaves, we get called for count and I stand up from Alex's bunk and go stand outside my own a few down from red.

I was still upset Nicky wasn't here in our bunk but I guess nothing will happen till pipers assigned either so I have to suck is the fuck up,  by the time food had come around the next morning Lorna had given piper tray seemingly whatever she did got her back onto reds good side, but not mine just yet.

Lorna then sat with her while my gaze was still fixated on Chapman she was eating it like a fucking animal but then my gaze shifted to Alex who was now being denied food just like piper.

By this point I had enough and walked over to the table Chapman and morello were sat at I sit down next to morello staring straight into pipers eyes "looks like someone's getting fed" I stated as piper nods "but someone isn't because of you" I point to Alex as Chapman pales making me laugh in delight, "here's another warning Chapman, do not fuck with my girls you hear me?" I ask as piper mumbles "yes" looking down.

I walk into the common room later that evening for movie night, I sit next to Nicky but ignore her completely, I knew she was worried but I had lost my father, everyone could tell when I'm in a bad mood it just puts me off.

Nicky began to laugh while I simply stayed silent watching the movie I couldn't bring myself to laugh it was as if I'm in an emotion hole of darkness and no way out.

A/N- that is officially season one episode two done!

I'm watching the show while I do each chapter so I don't mess anything up.
