The head officer of the prison was takin me back down to the room where he got me from. The room was filled with women but it was as silent as a library. Guards were standin all around the room with their guns out. He sat me back down in my seat and cuffed my leg back to the chair. This was so unbelievable. I was tied down like a f#ckin animal.
I thought about that slap that Joi gave to me and how concerned she was for me and I let that all slip away. I could've retaliated on her ass but I knew it was out of love that she did that to me. I didn't realize until she walked away from me that I was really in some deep shit. I looked around the room and saw a few women lookin at me and I let out a huge sigh. I shook my head and thought about what if I just listened to Joi but in my mind I didnt need to attend no class for drugs. Yeah I smoked a few blunts and cigarettes a day but that wasn't an addiction. I could go atleast a day without doin any of that stuff if I wasn't stressed.
About thirty more minutes of sittin in this silent room, two male guards came and untied me from the chair. My hands were cuffed behind me and I still had the cuffs on my ankles. They walked me down to this office and cuffed me to another chair. This had to be a f#ckin joke. I wasn't gone act a fool so there was no need to tie me down like this. They stood behind me and another man came in and sat down at this desk. He had on a suit so I guessed he wasn't an officer.
"Hello Miss Knowles, my name is Frank West and I will be your counselor for this mornin." I looked at the clock and saw that it was nearly four in the mornin. All this time had passed and it was goin so fast. "I see that u have charges on u about evadin the police. Now when we go inside this court maybe we can make a deal or try an appeal if there's more to the story than meets the eye. I mean I saw that tape of u runnin and what not but I do believe this was all blown out of proportion but the main thing they will be throwin at u is ur record and this charge." He was ramblin so much that I got lost into his words.
Was this really happenin to me? I was really about to go to prison for some shit that wasn't even my fault? I stared at the floor in shock that this was goin down like this. I needed to call Ty or somebody. My mom even. I couldn't go to prison. My heart began to beat a little faster when the man talked about how I could do about a year and that was the smallest time I could possibly take. I looked up at him and the room started to spin. I was about to speak but then I blacked out.
When I woke up, I was in this white room with a female nurse standin over me listenin to my chest. "Hey, are u okay," she said grabbin my hand and helpin me sit up. I wasn't chained or anythin but I still had on this loud ass jumpsuit. I grabbed my head feelin a throbbin pain from it. "U hit ur head on the desk when u passed out. I guess this is your first time," she said laughin. "My name is Lisa. I'm the nurse here. U wanna tell me if u have any medical history I need to know about. Maybe u have some drug issues or addictions that would interfere with this medicine I'm about to give u. It'll help with the headache."
"Where am I?"
"In the my office. Ur gettin ready to go to trial right," she said walkin over to this table and pourin water in this small white cup and grabbin another white cup to bring to me. I was so sure that this was a dream but it was hittin me now. I was in this b!tch for real and wasn't goin anywhere.
She handed me the two cups and I looked at the pill in one of them. "What's this?"
"This is xeiqhatinol."
"What?"
"Tylenol and a sedative that'll keep u calm for a while. It'll make u feel better."
