Orange is the new black "The new prisoner" (Book 1)

Loss of a loved one

I was woken up early in the morning like 3:30am maybe..... And was dragged to Caputo's office "What have I done now?" I rolled my eyes as he was in his pyjamas sat at his desk "Marshall.... I'm sorry but your father was involved in a car accident 2 hours ago, he was pronounced dead at the scene" he said sympathetically "Wh...what do you mean?" I mumbled "Faye I had a emergency meeting this morning with the head governor of this prison facility and we have granted you 2 weeks temporary release so you can be with your family and attend your fathers funeral. You will however be tagged" he said, it was all too much when my mum came in I leaped into her arms and broke into tears "Shh honey it's ok" she said reassuring me "What happened?" I asked wiping away a tear as she sat me down "Faye we thought it was a car accident but it wasn't, your father committed suicide and drove over a cliff" she said hearing this made things worse and I just carried on crying.

I sat and composed myself whilst a guard went and packed some of my stuff, Caputo left me and my mum alone whilst we talked "Does Oliver know?" I asked "Yeah your brother knows he's with your grandma" she said "The police came and delivered what was on him when he drove over the cliff and there was a letter addressed to you" she said and handed it to me. I hesitated but opened it and started reading,
"To my dearest daughter Faye,
I'm sorry I wasn't here to support you during your trial or came to visit you, things have been tough. I was in debt and the family was going through enough as it is. I'm sorry that you, Oliver and your mother have to deal with this but always know I'll be with you whenever you have this.....
Yours sincerely
Dad
Xxxx"
Inside was his necklace he always used to wear it belonged to his grandad and was handed down to him, always seeing it reminded me of him.

"Here you are Marshall." The guard said and handed me some things of mine. I went to the health centre where a tag was fitted around my ankle and I got changed into normal clothing. It felt weird being outside for once, being in a normal heated car. Seeing the city again. It was an hour drive back to my house my room was just how I left it 7 months ago "Oh Faye dear come here!" My grandma said and pulled me into a strong hug "I can't believe he's gone" I said and broke back down into tears "Cmon lets get you showered and you can rest" my mum said and we went upstairs. The only good thing that's out of this is the fact I can sleep in a comfortable bed and have a warm shower.

I left SoSo a note telling her to phone me when she wakes up and at about 9:30 she phoned "Marshall where the hell are you!" She demanded "I'm at home... My dad died... I'm on 2 weeks temporary release" I replied trying to hold back the tears "Oh god Faye I'm so sorry, everyone is asking where you are even Piper and Alex" she replied "SoSo I've gotta go I'll talk to you soon bye" I said before hanging up. "Who was that?" My brother asked as he walked into my room "Oh only a friend from prison no one special" I said and smiled "What's that on your ankle?" He added "Jee what's with all the questions?" I replied "I only asked" he snapped before walking away. "Faye your aunt is here!" My mum screamed up the stairs I walked down I didn't like my aunt she was a snob "Oh Faye so nice to see you" she said "Where's your handcuffs?" She said before laughing "Wow your brother has just died and all you can do is make jokes about me? Great one" I snapped before walking back upstairs.

For the whole day it was just relatives visiting. Looking through condolence cards that have been posted through the door. Most of my family don't talk to me anymore as I was considered a "Criminal". I went downstairs and even my 3 year old cousin ran away and cried as he thought I was going to attack him so I was sent upstairs until they left..... I went on Facebook for the first time in months and my newsfeed was filled with horrible messages from my 'friends'
'Lock your daughters away Faye Marshall might attack them"
"Why did they let that psycho out of prison for 2 weeks she should suffer not saying goodbye to her dad"
There was even a group chat called "Justice for Shanice" I sat for hours scrolling through all the messages people bitching and slagging me off...
"She got 3 years 8 months yet they are releasing her next year"
"If that was one of us we would get longer sentences"
"Shanice shouldn't have died cause of her and Patricia"
"Shanice was no angel but she didn't deserve what those 2 bitches done"
Seeing these messages broke me, people are so vile and nasty and cruel. People saw I was online on Facebook and messages came pouring in but these were good supportive messages
"Glad your out for 2 weeks"
"Can't wait to see you again Faye"
"You'll be strong you can get through this"

"I said NO social media!" My mum screeched and slammed down my laptop "I was bored you practically banished me to my room!" I screeched as she looked "You have changed Faye since you've been inside" she hissed "Being locked away 24 hours a day with murderers, drug addicts and just all round crazy people I will change" I snapped "Maybe I should send you back so you won't ruin the funeral" she said but stopping realising what she just said was hurtful and rude "Faye I'm sor...." She said before I interrupted her "It's fine" I sighed before she left and slumped on my bed and stared at the ceiling, thinking about how much I've ruined my life.......
