The next day, Jerome was about to get in a fight with one of the inmates. Well he did.

I was walking back from the bathroom when this guy pulled me on his lap. "Hey. You're pretty. Wanna go hang out in my cell?" He said in my ear. I was disgusted. Jerome was walking in the room from his cell and tapped the guy on his shoulder.

The dude turned around only to get punched by Jerome. I quickly got out of the guys grip and went over to Jerome. "Okay J that's enough." I said trying to pull back Jerome.

"Fucking touch her again and I'll kill you." Jerome shouted. That definitely got the guards attentions. The guy got up and pushed Jerome. "Prove it." The guy challenged. "Come on J let it go." I said to him. One of the guards pulled me from Jerome and I started kicking.

Jerome became really aggressive. He started punching and kicking the guy and was refusing to leave him alone. "Jerome stop!" I kept shouting. "Don't touch me or Violet ever again!" Jerome said, kicking him one last time. He started laughing and the guards took their opportunity.

They handcuffed him and took him out. "Wait! Violet!" He shouted. The guard let go of me and I followed Jerome. They threw him in his cell. "Fucking let me go! I'm fine!" Jerome shouted. They let him out of the cuffs and left. I walked in and he was pacing back and fourth.

He kept tugging on his hair, mumbling things that I couldn't understand. He growled and punched the hard concrete wall. "Jerome!" I gasped. He plopped down on the bed and hissed in pain. "What the fuck?" I whispered.

He was bleeding pretty bad.

"J we gotta go to the nurse." I said. "No." He mumbled. "But you're bleeding and you probably messed up your hand." I said. "I said no!" He shouted. I let go of his hand and walked out of his cell. It made him way beyond mad. He's never actually yelled at me. It actually hurt.

I couldn't go back in the room because I'm pretty sure the guy was still there. I went to the bathroom instead and pulled out a cigarette. I lit it and inhaled. I had so many mixed emotions. I was pissed, scared, sad, and annoyed.

I sighed and brought my knees to my chest, resting my head on my knees. Jerome's damn anger issues. Yeah we all have anger issues but Jerome is different. Once he's pissed, it lasts all day. I know we all needed to cool off especially Jerome.

I could hear his shouting from the bathroom. His fists banging on the cell door echoed through the halls. I had locked him in his cell.

I felt my eyes water and I cursed under my breath. I didn't want to cry. I didn't like crying very much and it was really rare that I did. As I blew the smoke out of my mouth, a tear ran down my cheek.

I sniffed and wiped the tear away. I got up and headed to the office. I found the nurse and told her about Jerome. She notified the guard next to her and she headed towards his cell. I walked back in the bathroom and was able to hear Jerome shouting. Then it got quiet.

All I heard were a few mumbles. I stayed in the bathroom, smoking until I heard the nurse and guard walk away. They most likely sedated him. I finished my cigarette and threw it. I headed to Jerome's cell. He was laying on the bed, mumbling incoherently. He looked super tired like he would pass out any moment.

I walked in and he tried grabbing my hand. "Baby." He mumbled. His eyelids grew heavy and they closed. I kissed his forehead and let go of his bandaged hand. I wasn't planning on staying in there tonight. I knew he lied to me on the first day when he said there were no empty cells. It wasn't possible that 25 people filled hundreds of cells.

I walked out, leaving Jerome, and headed towards the closest cell. I walked in and laid on the bed. I stayed there for the rest of the day. I skipped my meals and smoked. When I heard them turn off the lights at night, I turned to my side and fell asleep.
