NEW BOOK- Prior to the Pain - super long "prologue" to THIS STORY
Lainie's POV
I woke up, sweating, and shot up from the bed so suddenly that I woke up Carl. I just had another PTSD dream about the day before I left Derek.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Carl asked as he sat up beside me.
"I just had a dream about the day before I came to the prison." A said still upset and in shock about what I had just "re-witnessed".
"Do you remember when I first came here and how I had bruises on my arm and one over my neck?" I asked him and he responded.
"Yeah and you had blood on your shirt." He said.
I pulled my leg out from under the covers and rolled up my jeans, exposing an awful dark purple bruise in the middle of my right shin. He let out a slight gasp.
"Well Derek had done that to me the day before I found my way here." I said, tears welling up in my eyes, and then dropping to the blanket currents covering one of my legs.
"Are you okay?" Carl asked as he hugged me tightly, showing that he cared about me.
"Yeah just kind of, overloaded." I answered.
"I understand." He whispered in my ear.
I looked down and checked my watch, 4:24 am is what it read. I laid my head down and so did Carl. I curled in my legs and turned to look into his eyes, which were staring into mine. He closed his eyes and then I did the same to mine, a small tear falling off from my face.

Carl's POV
Me and Lai went to go throw away our paper plates that we had eaten our breakfast on and were walking down the hallway when I was stopped by Liz about 40 feet before our room, I noticed for Lai to continue walking.
"Hey Carrllll." Liz said, dragging out my name and placing a finger on my chest.
"What do you want?" I asked, annoyed by her since she's lied to me. She slowly walked forward as I walked backwards to stop her from being less than inches from my face, soon I was pinned against a wall. Soon, her nose was almost touching mine.
"Okay, stop!" I yelled at her but she didn't move.
"What the hell?!" I heard someone yell. I turned to my head to the left and saw Lainie emerging from the door. She seemed more infuriated and more upset then I've ever seen her.
Liz was distracted by Lainie so I used the opportunity to slip away from her and run into the room, grabbing Lai's arm as I entered, bringing her inside with me.
After we entered I turned around to face her, still holding her hand in mine and grabbing the other one. I abruptly stepped closer to her and smashed my lips against hers.
"She just came up to me, I promise." I told her, and she believed me.
She walked out of the room and into the hallway.
I heard her saw, almost yell at Liz "Why don't you go find your own man, whore!" Which made me start laughing. She then walked back into the room, slightly laughing herself.
"Hey, we're having a small concert kinda thing in A Block tonight, do you want to go?" I asked her.
"Sure, if it can get my minds off of things." She replied.

We walked into A Block which took about 5 minutes since we were rushing to get there in time.
There was a boy on the small stage made out of metal plates and wooden crates. His ears were slightly stretched with black tunnels in a small black ring on his nose. He had dirty blonde hair switch was swooped up over his grey beanie. His jeans had large rips over the knees, exposing thick X's in his knees, signifying that he was strait edge. He had a light brown guitar strapped to his chest. I recognized him from C Block, his name was Patty Walters.
He began to sing a song I recognized, Dirty Little Secret by All American Rejects. After that he sang Teenagers by My Chemical Romance.
Eventually he began to sing Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus.

Her name is Noelle
I have a dream about her
She rings my bell
Got gym class in half an hour
Oh how she rocks
In keds and tube socks
He sang as I stood next to Lai.
But she doesn't know who I am
And she doesn't give a damn about me
Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby
Yeah I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby
Listen to Iron Maiden maybe with me
Her boyfriends a dick
He brings a gun to school
And he'd simply kick
My ass if he knew the truth
He live on my block
He drives an Iroc
But he doesn't know who I am
And he doesn't give a damn about me
Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby
Yeah I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby
Listen to Iron Maiden maybe with me
Oh yeah, dirtbag
No she doesn't know what she's missing
Oh yeah, dirtbag
No she doesn't know what she's missing
Man I feel like mold
It's prom night and I am lonely
Low and behold
She's walking over to....
The word started to become tuned out of my head. I turned to face Lainie. She was looking up at Patty on stage, mouthing along with the words. She was so beautiful.
I put my hand on her check and pulled her face towards me, kissing her as Patty continued to sing, so words stilled blurred out in my head.
5 minutes later
Patty finished up by singing Silence by some band called As It Is😉. Me and Lai walked back to our room, hands held tightly together.
Once we returned I took off my shirt and laid down in bed. She then came to lay down beside me. It was only 9:48 but we were already tired.
She nuzzled her head beneath my chin, slowly drifting off to sleep, me following behind. She was soon asleep but I was just barely awake.
"I love you Lainie." I said kissing her forehead, giving no response since she was asleep, I then fell asleep minutes afterwards, but not before making sure my watch alarm was still set for 7:45 am.
