Jayce POV

The truth may hurt for a little while, but a lie hurts forever.

"You are the definition of shit, in the dictionary it would be the word and then your picture next to it, shit."

Truth will always be the truth, regardless of lack of understanding, disbelief, or ignorance.

"Fuck off Alex, not today." I sat down at the round table we usually sit at for our meals. Which was located in the back right corner of the cafeteria.

I laid my cheek against the cold metal surface, closing my eyes.

"Do you have any hard shit I could take, Nick?" I ask keeping my eyes closed.

"Are you joking or are you-

"I'm serious." I opened my eyes sitting up to look him dead in the eyes.

"I thought you quit? Why do you wanna start again?" Having Logan question me isn't helping me.

Then Alex chimes in, "Yeah if Zoe was here what would she say?"

You wanna know how you can make it up to me? Grow the fuck up, Jayce! Just grow the fuck up!

"There you are you little bitch! Don't think I'm letting you off the fucking hook! How dare you- I told warned you didn't I? What did you do? LIE... YOU LIED..."

Quinn's voice echoes through out the cafeteria. Louder than all the other inmates that hung around.

"What is she going on about now?" Logan groans running his hand over his face.

Suddenly I felt a burn on the back my neck. I snapped my body around holding my neck.

"You slapped him?" Alex gasps.

"I sure did and I'll do it again because he deserves it!"  Before her hand could come into contact with my cheek I had just enough time to catch her wrist.

"Quinn please." I begged looking into her furious dark eyes.

"Either you tell them or I will!"

Tell the truth, or someone else will tell it for you.

I slammed the palms of my hands on the table standing up. I step over the table bench to face Quinn. I looked into her eyes furiously before I can look at her with eyes filled with sorrow.

"They'll hate me." I mouthed to her and she faces softens.

"I know." She mouths back placing her hand on my shoulder. I closed my eyes taking a deep breath before facing them.

"Well someone tell me what the hell is going on here!" Alex exclaims earning glares from Nick and Logan.

"Couple weeks after we got arrested, we got into that big fight. And you know how shitty I was at the time. I was a complete mess..." I paused for moment before breaking it to them.

"Okay..." Nick trails off.

"Yeah dude you were so depressing, I was starting to see a dark cloud hovering over you." Logan jokes earning a slight laugh from Alex.

"Thanks bro."

"I'm proud of you... I was gonna say that." Alex adds.
