I was organizing the books by there content. Bethany was checking out the books while O'farrell just sat down on the bench and read a book. I grabbed a book in particular that caught my attention." Amadis de Gaula?"." Amadis de gaula goes over there with the classics" Bethany said. I walked over to the classic books" you've never read it"." No"." Well don't say this in public buts a piece of shit." Is good or bad" I asked." It's super boring" Bethany said." And you aren't you going to help" she asked O'farrell." What! I already did my part, donate the books" she said in humors way. I placed more books down by the classic ones when max and her girls came in." Look at this place. It's so nice" max said looking around. She leaned down on a shelf." The pretty girl from Santa Maria and her girlfriends are having a good time?" She said throwing the books down on the floor." This bookstore is amazing!" Max said sarcastically." It's a library max. Bookstores sell books and here we lend books so that dumb girls like you can read them" O'farrell said laughing. One of the guards came in" only authorized inmates are allowed to be here" she told max and the other girls." Oh you're not on the list because you're an ugly, tacky South American. What a shame" O'farrell said." If only elegant spaniards can be here then what is this short Mexican doing here" max said pointing at me. She sure did like to start drama with everybody." Hey! It looks like someone wants to spend three days in insolation" the guard said." We'll see each other some other time tasty babies". Max finally walked out leaving us alone." What a low life" Bethany said." You get people passionate Mexican girl" O'farrell said." I have magnets for tragedies that's what I have" I told O'farrell. I kept organizing the books where Bethany told me to put them." I barely finished elementary school. It's a miracle I know how to read"." I thought so" Bethany said."I'm really dumb when it comes to reading" I said." Books are doors to the streets. You learn, educate yourself, travel, dream you live other lives and multiply yours by a thousand" O'farrell said." If I want to start to read, which one do I start with" I asked." What can we recommend her" Bethany asked O'farrell." Cervantes?"." No I have the perfect one she'll fall in love with. I've had it since I was little. The cover is beat up from reading it much. The count of monte Cristo" O'farrell said handing me the book."we'll girls....Ill leave you guys I'm exhausted" O'farrell Got up and left." What a lazy girl" Bethany said." She given you golden advice. Read Karla nothing opens your mind more to other worlds than reading". I smiled at her and I placed the book down helping her out with the books. Once we were done we sat down on the bench." Finally we are done" I said." Yes. Now well I guess I'm going to tell you how I got in here"." You mean why you're in jail"." Yes"." Oh okay"." Well first it's true that I killed my husband and his mother. Everybody thought that my housewife life was perfect. What they didn't know was that my husband was a perfect son of a bitch and his worst defect was his mother but he was so handsome....that's for sure. I was so in love when I got married. I lived to make him happy I mean to make both of them happy. Him and his damn mother. That women's only goal in life was to make my life impossible" Bethany said already in tears." That Christmas I had had it with both of them. I got into a fight with them and all hell broke loose. We ran out of wine and they yelled at me what's wrong with you! That night I was lucid than ever before. That's why I injected lyeh into the bottle of wine that my mother-in-law loved so much"." What's lyeh" I asked." Sodium hypochlorite. It's stronger than bleach. I saw them both die just How I had dreamed for years. They were wrenching in pain". She said smiling." Before you ask me I'll say no, I don't regret it. I'd watch them wrench in pain a thousand times while they look at me with their shinny eyes injected with lyeh" she looked at me." Tell me. Have you ever killed anyone"." I've seen a lot of people die" I said." Don't ever do it. That's when you lose fear and learn how terrible it is to have power over the life and death of your enemies. You dont wait for god to do justice for you. You take justice into your own hands, simple right". The 11 O'clock bell rung." Tomorrow is a new day" Bethany said getting up." You know what I'm going to do when I get out of here"." What's that"." I'm going to get married again" she said stopping by the door." You don't know how Many guys online write to me" she said laughing and leaving. I went behind her heading to my jail cell. I stepped inside and got ready for bed.

The next morning I got up and did by bed. I grabbed my book and went outside and sat at a bench to read it half way throught the book O'farrell comes." Can I have a smoke" she asked me. I handed her my cigar." You like the book right"." It's really good" I said."everyone betrayed this guy"." In good company my captain". This lesbian chic said." Bye babes"." Bye bitches" O'farrell said." Karla why do you call me O'farrell"." Well because that's how everybody else calls you"." Call me Guisela"." Okay Guisela" I said looking at her." That's much better". Over time Guisela and I became very good friends. We actually became best friends. Guisela, Bethany, Sandra and Carmen were my only friends in jail. They were awesome. We spent all the time together. I got use to being in here.

* 2 months later*

It was my birthday today and the girls where making me a party. They sang me happy birthday and we are, drank and so on. We were all wasted at this point. Sandra was Mexican just like me and bought me a bottle of tequila. It had been months since the last time I drank one. It was really late and the girls left to there jail cells. Guisela fell asleep right away so I was alone now to party. It take long for me to fall asleep either. The next morning Guisela was already awake starring at me." Do you stare at me all the time I'm sleeping"."no of course not. I was just..."." You have no excuse"." No. I just never though you and I would become such good friends"." Me neither. I won't actually think I would become great friends with the girl who slapped my ass one day in jail"." Hahahah I remember that"." I definitely do"." How about we go to the cafeteria to get some breakfast"." Sure". I got up and we head to the cafeteria. Nobody was there so that meant it was a bit late. We got our breakfast and ate." So I have something to tell you" Guisela said." What's that"." I have a treasure"." What's that treasure"." It's a treasure that you can generate more and more". I stopped eating and looked at her. She was talking about drugs." You have drugs"." Well it's not mine. It was my boyfriends well ex-boyfriend. The reason why I'm here but I'll tell you that story later"." You're not lying to me are you"." No of course not"." Okay"." So when we get out we can sell that"." Guisela that's really dangerous at this point. We don't have any contacts who are we going to sell it too"." You'll see but we have to get our of here first"." Well I still have 5 years. It's inly been 2 months Guisela"." You'll get out sinner I promise"." Okay I'm sure". I said continuing eating. When we finished we went out side." Karla you have a visit" the guard said." I wonder who it is" I said to Guisela." Well I'll wait for you here"." Okay" I followed the guard into the visiting room. There I saw Jadah." Jadah!!"." Karla" she said getting up and hugging me." I've missed you so much"." Me too" I said crying." Here sit. Tell me how's everything's going now" I asked when we sat down." Well everything is the same. Jordan is growing up so fast. I can't wait till you see him"." Thats good I can't wait to see him either"." Karla I need to tell you something"." What's that"." Eddy."." What about him"." He soled all of your stuff even the house where you and Santiago lived"." What!!! That son of a bitch is going to pay for this. I knew he was going to do this"." I'm so sorry. I went to your house to get some stuff organized for you and that's when I saw him taking out your stuff. I got some of your things in my place so when you get out you can come get them"." Thank you so much Jadah"." Your welcome Mexican girl"." It's nice to know I have someone who cares for me"." Your welcome. And by the way um we um barred Santiago next his mother in his hometown"." Thank you" she gave me a warm smile." Well I have to go. I just came to tell you this and come see you"." Thanks Jadah"." Okay love I'll come see you back again soon"." Okay bye" I said getting up and leaving. I went over to where Guisela was and told her what happened. She said I didn't have to worry about it because she had a place for me to stay after we got out. " I finished the book" I told Guisela." Here" she said handing me another one." Another one"." Yes". She smiled at me. Every time I finished the book Guisela always gave me a new one to read. I would finish it and I wouldn't even know what day it was anymore because I was so into the book. It was Christmas already or New Years or any other holiday. I sometimes liked it when it went that way. It made me think that time would pass by so fast and it did it sure did.
