Locked In Prison

Betrayal

Everybody was talking about me and Jace. They said that we were in a secret relation and many other things that weren't true. I wondered why everybody cares for whatever happens with Jace. Who is he? Why they care about him that much?
There were so many answers I needed to know. Daisy and Albert were the only hope to tell me about him. Of course they hated him and they will tell me his story with a different point of view. One afternoon we gathered together Daisy, Albert and I in Daisy's room. We started the conversation about Jace, but Albert hated the moment we say his name.

He started the story, "My brother, Kalvin, and Jace were so close to each other. Jace was a very bad guy and so my brother was becoming like him. He used to come home at midnight drunk and so weak. My father grounded him at home for several times to get him away from Jace. As days went on Kalvin was going worse. One night, both Jace and Kalvin were drunk in the night club, and they both were attracked by a beautiful woman. At first Kalvin went and spoke with her and danced together. He told her he was going to get more drinks so they would continue the night together in bed upstairs. Jace got the chance to see Kalvin gone, just to go after that women. When my brother got back, they were both gone. He searched everyroom to see Jace making love to that women. That made Kalvin out off mind. He entered the room and the fight started between them. Jace had the chance to break bottle of vodka on Kalvin's head causing him to sudden death." Then he looked me in the eye and said," He turned my brother into a bad man and then killed him, Jazmine." I had nothing else to say or to ask after what I heard from Albert.
I tried to convince myself that Jace was a bad ass but I couldn't, not after protecting me and getting himself punished because of me.
I waited the day he was going to get released in. And when it happened, I was so glad to see him again. But on the other side there was somthing that kept me away from him. He was a murderer and was going to get me killed too. We were all in the yard when he came out. His friends were waiting for him. Jace was a popular guy. By popular I mean he was hated by as much people as beloved by others. I was with Daisy then sitting around the table. His eyes caught mine for only once since he was busy with his fellows.
   At sunset Daisy came grabbed my hand and took me up to my room, cloosed the door behind us and said,
   "Please Jaz, we need your help in somthing. You are the only one that can help us with it."
   "What do you need me for, and who are we?"
    "Listen, here in prison there are many different gangs of prisoners, some are drug dealers. They secretly enter drugs in here and share them with each others. And we, as a small group of faithfull prisoners working for the police guards and officers, need to set them off while they get the drugs in to prison."
   "Okay, and how I'm supposed to help you with all this?" I asked.
   "It's Jace's gang that should be stopped."
   "What?! Are you kidding me?" I shouted with astonishment.
   "Listen please, Jace is so much into you so you are the only one here to help us get information. All you have to do is join the gang and be a trusted girl between them."
   "I can't betray someone that protected me and inlove with me."
   "He is the bad guy, Jaz. He is a killer and he abuses people to get whatever he wants. And now he is a drug dealer. How could you protect him Jazmine?"
   "I just need time to consider my choices."
   "There is no time! The drugs have a specific arrival day. We need to get information as fast as we can. And I trust you, Jazzy. You are a good person."
   "Fine I'll do whatever you need to stop drug dealers," I said that hoplessly.
   That night we spoke much about how work is done for the police inside prison. She convinced me with her words, and so the work began.
   The next afternoon I went to Jace who was sitting with his friends around the table. There were always seem to be a girl on Jace's laps kissing his lips everynow and then.
   "Jace, can I talk to you for a moment please," I asked politly.
   His smile appeared on his face, "Of course my lady."
   We walked away from the crowd as I started the conversation, "I didn't get the chance to thank you for what you've done before. And I'm so sorry to put you in that situation and got you punished for 3 days."
   "Was that a lecture or something?" He asked hilleriously. "There is nothing to thank me for. I only did what I was supposed to do. You know, every man has to be their for his..." he smiled, "...love."
    At that moment, no word got to describe my feelings. For a moment I felt the betrayel, but the word drug dealer had already been stuck in my head. We spoke for a while and then took me back where his friends were sitting. "Hey everyone, this is Jaz," Introducing me to them. I sat beside Jace. He was happy to see me close to him. Infront of us sat Daisy and Albert looking at me with a smile on there faces.
   The plan was working though I felt the regret. I sat with the group everyday and whenever a girl came to flirt Jace, he would shoo her away. That made the girls angry and jealous, especially Elena. I had no idea why but everytime I came to our room, I see my bed messed up and my cloth thrown on the floor.
   The other night Elena wouldn't let me enter the room and I had to spend the night outside in the yard. Jace saw me from his window and a minute later he was just infront of me.
   "Enjoying the cold weather?" Jace exlaimed hilleriously.
   "I don't know, I think I have no choice," I faked a smile.
   "I do," grabbing my hand and walked me with him, "come with me, you're not going to spend the whole night here by yourself."
   "Where are we going Jace?"
   "To my room."
   "No!" I took off my hand and stopped.
   "What do you mean by No? I'm not asking, I'm telling you and you must do exactly what I say!" Grabbing my hand again taking me to his room.

   He let me in and sat me on his bed. He told me that he was going to have a quick shower before going to bed.
   While he was showering I heard a ringing voice. The sound was too low coming from the drawer beside his bed. I opend it slowly and found a cellphone! Who can ever keep cellphones in prison?! It was a text message that had been recieved from a private number. I clicked on the message:

   "THE PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN RECIEVED, FEW MORE DAYS FOR OUR ARRIVAL! M.K."
  
   I felt that Jace was going to get out so I marked the message as unread and replaced the cellphone in its place. At that moment he came to the room and I was laying in bed.
   He came closer and kissed my forehead, "sleepy?" He wispered.
   "Alittle bit." He laid down beside me and let me sleep on his chest.
   "Jace, can I ask you somthing?"
   "Sure anything you want."
   "What led you here? I mean to prison."
   "Well I'm not so sure you want to hear about it."
   "Is it true that you've killed Albert's brother? Is that the reason you are here now?"
   "Who told you that? Let me guess, of course it's him, Albert."
   "So it's true!"
   "Listen to me, Kalvin was also my friend and I never wanted to harm him. We were drunk that night terribly drunk. I could berly see what's infront of me. I'm never going to forgive myself on that. Now please stop asking and try to sleep."
   I closed my eyes but stood awake to see what he will do with his cellphone. When he was sure that I got asleep, he took out his cellphone and read the message. I was peeking quitly to see what he will type back.

   "YOU MUST QUICK, TIME IS RUNNING OUT. THE MONEY IS IN SAFE PLACE WAITING FOR YOU! J.S."

   That night I didn't sleep until Jace had felt asleep. I was thinking of what will happen if Jace knew that I betrayed him. There have to be another plan to bust the durgs and keep Jace out off it.
   In the morning Daisy asked me about every detail. I told her that I needed more time to know the whole truth. That day I didn't want to join there group. I don't need them, they are never going to talk about anything infront of me. I could do it in another way.
   When Jace saw me sitting with Daisy and Albert all the time, he came and asked me if we could have a walk.
   "If she had wanted to be with you, she would have came and sat beside you," Albert answered directly.
   "Jaz, let him shut up or something bad is going to happen." Those words got Albert out of his mind and got up to beat Jace, "show me what are you capable off!"
   At that moment I stood up between them, "stop doing that, both of you!" I turned to Daisy and said, "I'll be back."
   Jace took my hand and we walked together.
   "Some day I'm going to punch his face!" He was still angry from Albert.
   "No you're not going to do anything. You killed his brother, he'll never going to forgive you."
   "Why you are always defending him."
   "I'm not defending! I'm just saying," I gave him a hug telling how much I missed him.
  
   After we spent the whole day together, he asked me if I could sleep in his room. I didn't refuse. I was pretty sure of what I was going to do that night...
