innocent // prison break

21. SHU

R O S A

"Rosa." I heard a whisper in a dirty, dark room.

The only light was from a small, glass window with bars on it.

I looked around in the 4x10 room, a small bed covered most of the ground.

"Down here." I heard another whisper and I looked at the ground to see a drain beside my bed.

"Lincoln?" I whispered as I laid down on my stomach.

"Rosa, what the hell got you into the hole?" "I-I remembered everything about that night, and I wasn't the only one there." I whispered.

"So why are you in SHU?" He asked and I cleared my throat.

"I've been framed, Linc.. By a CO, and after remembering that night, I resisted him, not wanting him to take me anywhere, I fought him off, not letting him touch me, so I'm in here for awhile." I sighed because I shouldn't have freaked out like that, I should've just told Michael.

"I'm proud that you fought him off, and Michael would be too." He said and I lightly smiled.

"What CO?" He asked.

"Jason Rogers." I whispered as a shiver tingled my spine.

"Rogers? Are you sure?" He said in disbelief, "I will never forget his face." I spoke seriously.

I fell asleep at some point, ultimate boredom getting to me.

I woke up to scuffling and shouting, "No, please don't do this, don't do this!" I heard Michael shout, I got up and looked out my tiny window, I saw Michael being placed in confinement beside me.

"Michael!" I shouted before the guards left.

I got down on my stomach again, by the drain.

"Michael." I spoke quietly, I knew how well these drains carried voices, I spoke his name again, getting worried about him.

"Rosa?" I heard him and I sighed in relief as I rested my forehead on my arm.

"What are you doing down here? Are you okay?" He asked through the drain.

"Rogers brought me down here after trying to assault him." I scoffed, "Even if happened just the opposite."

"What do you mean?" Michael asked, I breathed deeply, "That's him, Michael.. Rogers is the one who has been framing me this whole time, he was the one who cut me that night, I remember it all." I said as a tear rolled down my nose but I wiped it quickly.

"I'm going to kill him." Michael spoke barely loud enough for me to hear.

"Michael, why are you down here?" I asked just realizing that he would have to do something just as bad as me to get down here.

"When the nurse and Terry cleaned my burn, they found a piece of a CO's uniform in my skin.. I wouldn't tell the warden how it happened, but he's got proof that I was where I wasn't supposed to be." He said quickly, barely giving me a chance to think.
