Insanity (Sequel To Madness)

Secrets

The men Ian sent lock us up, each member from Team 4 in a different cell, and even giving me and Jack our own. Of course he would have them do that, just to make it set in even more than it already is.
"Violet. It's Maddie." I hear a voice echo from the hallway. I sigh and wipe a few more tears on my face.
"Hey." I say, my voice cracking in that short word. Jack lays on my lap with his arms resting on his stomach. He looks peaceful, like he's sleeping almost. The bullet hole on his forehead ruins it though, taking me back into the harsh reality that he's dead.
"I really am sorry. I didn't... I didn't want Ian to follow me, it's all my fault. All of this, and I wanted to tell you that I'm sorry. I'm sorry that he ruined the compound, I'm sorry that he found you, and most of all, I am..." I hear her begin to cry and take in a deep breath before she continues. "I am... So, so... So, sorry that he killed Jack." Another tear slips my eye at that moment, sliding down my face like the other tears have. It almost feels like the two streams below my eyes are slowly eroding my skin away, but I don't care about that right now.
"It isn't your fault." Shane speaks up with a heavy sigh.
"Y-yeah... It is..." Maddie sobs back to him.
"She's right, Shane. It is her fault. If she never came here, then Ian would have never kidnapped us and he wouldn't even know I exsist! And if he didn't know about me, he wouldn't have killed the love of my life!" I scream, burying my face in Jack's shirt afterwards as I begin to cry again.
"Violet... You don't believe that. You and Maddie are good friends, treat her that way." Shane tells me in a soothing tone, well, he hasn't lost his nice guy act, even now.
"Maybe I would treat her nice if I actually had someone to tell me that it would be okay. Maybe I would be nicer if I had Jack, to run his fingers through my hair and hug me every night. Maybe, I would be nice if you weren't always acting like a father to me every fucking day of my life, Shane! Maybe, I'd be nice if I had anything else to lose by being the bitch I am!" I scream back at him while I grip Jack's limp torso and cry into him. There is no response, Shane has nothing to say to me anymore, he shouldn't at least. Maddie has nothing to say either, she's "broken". Hah, she doesn't even know what that word means. Has she been shot and had her baby killed in the process? Has she killed her mother because she ruined her life? Has she been kidnapped by so many people that she doesn't even acre what happened to her anymore? Has she stood by and watched as the love of her life was shot in front of her? I don't think so. So, who's the broken one around here? I think we all know the true answer.
"Violet... I'm sorry that I ruined your life. You shouldn't let me out of this cell, if I get out I'll just ruin something else." She sobs and I hear a noise as if someone hit the door.
"Stop that. You didn't do anything wrong, she's just in a bad mood, so leave her alone and let her heal." Shane demands with a heavy sigh.
"I'm not just in a bad mood, I'm fucking crumbling inside! I won't get better, I have nothing to get better with anymore! I have no reason to ever get better! Unless you still want me as your little public image again, Shane! Oh, right! It wouldn't be good for your reputation if your wife went phyco! I'm sorry, Shane, I didn't mean to ruin your fucking business plan!" I shout at him.
"Don't you dare say that to me." He shouts back at me sternly.
"Oh, and why not? It's true!" I scream back, my voice feeling pain from being so dry and from all my yelling.
"Not in the slightest is ANY of that true, Violet. I fell in love with you, only a week after I met you, I loved you. You think you don't open up easily? I haven't opened up to anyone except you and my brother, and  that's even a lot to me. I didn't marry you for some public image bullshit, I married you because I thought, maybe, just maybe, someone that I loved actually loved my back. But, as I usually am not, I was wrong. You only show how much you love people after they're taken from you. But even still, my emotions are getting the best of me. Don't you dare tell me why I married you, Violet. I love you, and I don't know if I'll ever stop. But, now, I'm not sure I truly want to even admit that. You're acting absolutely vile, and I know that you're upset, that you're depresse, and that you have had an awful past few weeks. However, that does not make it better. Jack loved you, and I know he did. But, he would not allow you to act this way if he was still here." Shane declares. He has never yelled at me like that before, he's never cussed in front of me before either. I never thought Shane actually loved me, I mean, sure, he liked me. We were friends after all, but I never thought of it as something more than that. I thought it was a temporary arrangement and he was nice enough to agree.
"Shane..." I mumble his name, loosening my grip on Jack slightly as I lift my head so I look forward.
"Sh-Shane... Y-you didn't have t-to defend me l-like that. I-I ruined m-more things d-didn't I?" Maddie stutters through her sobs.
"No, I didn't do it for you. I did it for her." Shane mumbles.
"I-I'm sorry I made you cry..." Maddie stutters nervously. Shane laughs slightly and sniffs loudly.
"You didn't do it, and I'm not crying, it's just one tear." Shane scoffs it off and sighs.
"I'm sorry that I never realized... and that I made you cry." I speak to him, speaking loud enough so that he can hear me.
"Don't worry about it." Shane replies in a muffled voice. I nod and lay my body onto the ground so I lay next to Jack on the floor. I wrap my arm around his corpse and lean my head on his chest; like I always used to. Somehow my mind expects his arm to wrap around me in return, but I know it won't happen. His body is colder and his face is even more pale in the dark light inside the cell. The sun has almost completely set, and the moon will be coming out soon. It's time to go to bed, it's been quite a long day.
