Locked In Prison

Unexpected Situations

As I reached the second floor, I felt someone behind me. I stopped but didn't turn around, at that time he called my name. I knew it was Jace. I ignored the call and continued my way up to the room. He followed my steps. As I started climbing faster, he did the same. My heart started beating so fast, I was frightened. Until he finally grabbed my hand and stopped me.
"What do you want from me?" I shouted.
"I want you. I need to talk to you."
"There is nothing to be said. Leave me alone." I tried to release my hand from his.
"Tell me girl, what did those devils tell you about me?"
"It's not of your business," I shouted as I kicked his leg so that he could get his hands of me. I ran as fast as I could to reach my room.
On that day I didn't leave my room after I got in. I closed the curtains and laid on the bed looking at the picture on the desk. I really missed them. They where the only family I had and I lost them. Don't know if they are still alive or...
I thought and recalled many things. Tears didn't leave my cheeks untill I felt asleep.

On the next day I woke up at 5:00 as usual and got to work. I didn't tell Daisy anything about what happened. After we finished, we went for lunch. I was afraid that Jace would come and follow me again, but that didn't happen. He didn't even appear in the yard nor in any other place. That was the first time from the day I came he would not be infront of my eyes.
Three days passed on the same situation. Even when I was in my room when I look through the window towards his room I saw nothing since it was always darkened.

One night, when I got to bed I saw a letter under the pillow, I opened it:
"Tomorrow at 12:00 pm, the other building, 5th floor, room no. 302"
I doubted that it was from Jace. I turned it into small peices and threw it in trash. I ignored his call once again.
Two days later, while we were cleaning the bathroom a large tall woman came in and went to the toilet. Daisy and I didn't give her any attention. Once she finished she looked at me harshly and then walked away. I told Daisy that I was going to clean after her. Entering the toilet, I got shocked and my eyes grew wider as I read what that women wrote on the wall:
"Today at 12:00 pm, other building, 5th floor, room no. 302, or something bad will happen to your friend."
I quickly erased it before Daisy would come. I had no choice except to go and face him.

I finished work earlier that day and told Daisy I was tired and that I should get some rest.
It was 11:55 am when I got up the building. Men were looking at me as I climbed to the 5th floor. My hands were shaking and I could barely walk because of fear. I started searching for room 302, when I found a long hole and a door infront of me written on it 302. As I knocked the door slowly it opened a little bit. It wasn't locked! I entered the room but no one was there and silence covering the place. Then the door was shut, he came in, locked the door and threw the key away. I stood and didn't say a word. I saw anger in his eyes and hatered. He came closer as I stepped backwards until I reached to wall. No way to go back anymore. He put his hands on the wall so that I could not get away from him. My heart was beating so fast, I could hear it's beats.
"Jazmine Isaac Alfred?" He wispered in my ear, "Daughter of a great manager in California. Isaac is your father." His voice got louder.
"Ye-yes," I said in a low voice. He hit the wall near my head and shouted, "I knew it! I knew it was you the moment I saw the picture beside your bed."
"I don't know what you are talking about, why did you brought me here and how do you know my father?" I tried to get out of that small cage he made with his arms but I couldn't.
"You seem to be so scared," he smiled, "well you should be!"
He got back of me and sat on his bed, "Your father is the worst mother fucker I've ever seen before." He stopped for couple of seconds, "because of him I am now in prison!!" He shouted. I was still standing not moving any muscle, just tears getting out from fear.
"When I first saw you, I saw an angel. I saw an innocent young lady coming to hell. I followed your steps to find out how did a beauty reached this place. But then..." He looked at me with anger and hatered,"... that angel turned to be the daughter of the devil, and though I have the chance to get revenge at last!"
He came to me again and grab my neck then raised me upwards. I could burely breath, I cried out, "please leave me alone I have nothing to do with you and my father. It has been three years since he was out of sight. I didn't know anything about him since then. If you kill me now he will not know and will not care!" I cried more and more.
He took off his hand as I fell on the floor. "Get out of here,now!!" he shouted. I picked up the key from the floor, unlock the door and ran out of that building.
As I reached the yard going toward my room Daisy saw me. She came to me and was shocked of what was happening with me.
"Jaz!! Where were you? I thought you were in bed getting some rest. Your face is yellow and your hands are shaking! What were you doing in that building all by your self?" She kept on asking but I didn't answer. I told her to walk me towards the room since I could hardly walk on my legs. I looked upwards toward his window. He was there looking at me, as if he was waiting to see if I was going to tell anything to Daisy or not.
I ate nothing that day and stayed in my room. Daisy new I was with Jace so she told Albert about how she saw me when I got out of the building. She came to my room and tried to know anything about what happened.
"Daisy, there is nothing you need to know okay! I'm sorry but whenever I tell you anything you go and tell your Albert about it. And I hate that."
"Sorry Jaz, I hadn't known that before."
"And now you knew it. Look, men do not know what pateince is. If they heard about somthing bad they might react with stupidity. And to keep our friendship we must keep our secrets." I smiled then we hugged each other.

Days passed and our friendship grew bigger between me and Daisy. Each day we work together, eat lunch together then Albert comes to take her with him so I spend the rest of the day alone. Jace was still out of sight.
One afternoon Daisy invited me to her room. We spent 4 hours laughing talking and going crazy. She also introduced me to her two roommates. They seem to be nice. When we finished and I was going to my room, I found out that the door was locked. I knocked on it.
"Who is it?" Patricia replied from the inside.
"I'm Jazmine, open the door."
"It's almost 9:00 o'clock. sorry you can't come in." They started laughing, there was a man's voice in the room.
I went back to Daisy's room but it seems that she was sleeping since the light was turned off. I went down to the yard and laid on a bench. There was no other place to go. While sleeping I felt someone covering my body with something. I didn't open my eyes directly. I waited 2 minutes then I got up to see who was there. Thier on the other side of the yard sat a man hiding his head with his jacket's hat. I couldn't recognize him since it was dark. He got up and came toward my direction. As he came closer I could see that it was him. Yes it was Jace! I got up on my feet and the jacket that he had covered me with had felt on the floor. I got down to pick it up. He was thier infront of me.
"Why aren't you in bed?" He asked me softly.
"I came to get some fresh air."
"Or maybe somebody kicked your ass outside the room." He said that as he held my hand.
"Why do you care anyway!" I took my hand off and walked toward the building.
"I'm sorry..." he said, as I turned and looked in his eyes, "...I'm sorry for what happened last time."
I went to him and with anger I shouted, "You tried to kill me! And you are sorry?! Appology unaccepted so stay away from my." I went up the building and slept on the stairs his jacket was still in my hands so I covered myself with it.
After that night, Jace kept on watching me everyday and night.
One day after we finished work and went to the yard, everybody was there, eating, laughing and talking. There was group of guys in a corner and Jace was with them. A blond lady was sitting on his laps and his hand was around her wrist. He looked me in the eye, smiled and then kissed her lips.
I knew he was doing that on purpose, just to tease me, but I gave him no attention. As I walked between the people searching for a place to sit on, a guy called me, "Hey beautiful what's your name?" I didn't reply and while walking away he grabbed my hand, "don't you want to come with me my lady, you will have so much fu.."
Before he finished his sentence Jace had been reached us and slaped him on his face. "Don't you dare speak to her like that," Jace said that with anger. I didn't know what to do except for standing in my position. Jace beat him hard continuesly. Everybody was watching! The guards came and stopped the fight by hitting Jace and that man then took them away. Everybody saw how Jace defended me from that guy. Daisy came and asked me if I was alright. She took me and we sat on a bench, as Albert came to join us.
"Where did they took Jace?" I asked Albert.
"They are going to punish him for 3 days because of making troubles."
"It's all because of me!" I felt so sad.
"Everybody takes what they diserve, Jaz." Albert was excited to see Jace beaten.
That night when I went to my room, Elena pushed me to the wall and warned me, "So, he was your hero today! But never wish to gain his love tomorrow!"
