My eyes are shot open as i listen to the screams across the hall. I couldn't sleep. I keep on thinking about how i ended up here, and how it has been four years. They are still trying to figure out when they are gonna let me out.

I am behind bars. I thought that this wasn't gonna be like a jail. I made a friend name Alexa, but i call her Lexi. She is in the "room" right next to me. These are more like cells, not rooms. Anyways, i could see her watching me right now. "Cant sleep?" She asks but she doesn't whisper. I am pretty sure that a lot of people can't sleep because of the screams. So there is no use in whispering. "No" i replied. Lexi sat up on her bed. So did I. "The screaming is keeping me up. Whats keeping you up?" She asked a little softer.

I hesitated before answering. "I...i just keep on thinking about when i am gonna get out of here. I mean, whats the point of staying in here for years? What am i gonna learn? I just don't understand. I am so confused and scared inside." Lexi got closer to the bars and sat in the floor. She gestured me to come closer. And i did. "I hate to break it to you but...your not a witness, or the two victims...you're the murderer." She looked at me and i looked back with a weak smile. "Only I know the truth..." She looked at me confused. "T-Truth about what-" The door from across the hall opened. A man was screaming and he was being held by two guards. "NO! NO! STOP! STOP!" The screaming got louder and it was coming closer. Me and Lexi moved somewhere to hide quickly before the guards see us up. He was put in the cell next to me. I could hear the man crying. Non-stop. Lexi went to her bed and lied down. I did the same. "So thats the last of them for today. What are we gonna do? We have no more space for the one that comes tomorrow. I heard he is gentile and calm like that Ariana one that is in here." I heard one of the security guards say. "What does he look like?" The other one asks. "I saw him in a picture earlier. He had curly hair. Emerald green eyes. And He is pretty tall. Thats all i know. I am not good at describing people. But i think we are gonna put him with Ariana. Thats what the boss said. She said that we have to put people with the same characteristics as the other so that they wont be much trouble." Then the guards walked away and i heard a door shut. I flinched at the loud noise. I closed my eyes and tried my best to go to sleep. But now i was thinking about the guy that is gonna be here tomorrow. I am trying to imagine what he will look like. I wonder what he did. To be honest, i was a little excited to be sharing a cell with someone 'cause i am tired of feeling alone. I shut my eyes for now, hoping that when i open them, I will awake to a new day, with a new experience.
