ASTR- Activate Me
I turn and look at Ty, who sits beside me in our cell, the maximum security cell.
He bites his cut lip as he looks at me. "So what's been your hell? I wasn't, as we can see, really there." I sit criss-cross in beside him, facing his slumped frame.
"I watched the love of my life run into the arms of my worst enemy. I watched him kiss you, and watched you, incapable of doing anything, kissing him. I felt my heart shatter, I felt myself die from the inside out." He looks over at me, his eyes glassy, the tears now filling them up.
"It's not easy to watch the love of your life leave you, whether they wanted to or not. And to know that Jordan wants our unborn child to be gone makes me so sick." His gaze doesn't leave mine, and I feel myself fall.
It's not easy to listen to him say these things, and the fact that they're true only makes it even worse. I've been awful. I don't know how many times I've broken his heart, but it's been one too many times, I can say that.
I don't know what to say, it's as if someone has robbed my ability to think and to speak, so all I do is hug him. I scoot close to him and wrap my arms around him tightly.
I soon feel the tears seep through his shirt as they spring from my eyes, and it's all I can do to keep from going insane.
I can't keep doing this; I can feel myself beginning to fall apart; I'm breaking, we're breaking... But at least we're breaking together.
Because that's the only way I'd ever want it to be.

Jordan is tearing me apart bit by bit, piece by piece. I feel as if I'm dying inside just because I know that I cannot let any of it show- I can't let him know that he's winning the battle.
I sit inside the maximum security cell, the sun now long gone, the moon shining it's pale glow into our window. Maddie and I lay down on the bed below the window, and I stroke her soft, smooth, ombré hair. "How's the baby doing?" I ask her, trying to bring a sense of home, a sense of peace back to our situation.
She snuggles closer to me, burrowing her head deep into my side. "Okay, I hope." She says, and I know what she means. It's been a very rigorous and dangerous lifestyle since we arrived here, and knowing Maddie, she can't really take that when she's pregnant. Well, the baby can't take it at least.
"The baby will be okay, Maddie. I'm sure. Just like us. We'll be okay. No matter what happens, everything will be okay." I tilt my head down a bit to look at her, and she looks up at me, a small smile creeping upon her face.
I smile as I lean back to where I was, and look up at the camera in the corner of the room. Jordan is undoubtedly watching our every move, and I hope he's dying from the torture he's facing right now, to know that no matter what he does, it's never going to break the two of us apart.
I hope he's curling up and shriveling into his own dimension of self-pity, because that's all he really deserves.
>> Maddie
I awake to Ty rubbing circles into my shoulder blades. I open up my eyes slowly, and he smiles warmly at me from his spot where he kneels beside the bed. "Good morning, honey." He whispers, kissing the side of my face that isn't laying on the white cot.
