R O S A

I wondered around my cell, that was now locked again.

They put anyone they found outside of their cells into the SHU, the hole.

And there were no cameras working to prove I was outside of me cell at any point of last night.

I just hoped Michael was in his cell before the swat team arrived.

We were on lockdown for only a few hours, which seemed way too short after what happened last night, but I wasn't complaining.

"Young, you have a visitor." A CO opened my door.

I stood up and turned around, getting cuffed.

I solemnly walked through the halls, until we got to the visitation room.

"Harriet." I sighed sadly, knowing I'd be interrogated for the last few weeks she's missed.

I sat down as she looked at me differently than she ever has before.

"Are you okay?" She whispered.

"I'm sentenced for death in two months, I'm in love with someone I can't see and I just lost a baby I didn't even know I had, so no, I'm not okay." I spoke sadly.

"Wait.. What?" She said because I unloaded my problems on her quickly.

She glanced at my hand and noticed the golden band.

"Michael?" She whispered and I nodded.

"You may think I'm naïve, but I love him, Harriet, I really do." I spoke quietly, not being able to look up at my sisters disappointed look.

"And the baby, it was his?" I nodded again, I closed my eyes, making a tear fall.

I used my shoulder to wipe it away, "What's this about two months?" She asked just getting all the serious talking out of the way.

After telling her what happened in great detail, although I left out a big chunk - how I got out of my cell and into the maintenance basement.

She was in tears when I got towards the end, I didn't know if I should tell her about Rogers or not, so I did, the guards were a few yards away so I figured I could tell her.

"I'm leaving right now to look up this man who has ruined your life single handedly." She said grabbing her purse, determination was clear on her face.

"Same time next week?" She asked and I nodded, since I would be here.

"And Rosa," She stopped as I stood up to leave as well, "I'm not mad about Michael, or the baby.. If you're happy with him.." She admitted although I knew it was hard for her, her being married to a lawyer, and she was studying law as well.

I sighed quietly as I laid on my bed, closing my eyes, sleeping off my supper, and although I'm never hungry, I ate.

"Young, they want to run some tests on you down at the infirmary." A CO said and I gave him a weird look before standing to be cuffed.

I assumed it was because my baby that I lost, so I didn't ask any questions when I was lead down the halls.

I was placed in the infirmary and then left alone in the room that Terry used to stitch me up in.
