Killer at Litchfield

Old troubles Chapter 2

Alex Vause is in the same prison. Alex. Vause. I panic in my bunk. Chapman has been freaking out all day. Yeah Alex sold her out but if Alex sold me out I'm pretty much screwed. If she sells me out I will rip her apart. I hate her so fucking much. I was her rebound from some girl and Alex made note of that to me when she was over it.

Going to lunch, I can barely think about food. I have feelings for her and she's just....it's ridiculous. As I sit to eat I notice Alex slip Chapman some food. As Alex walks over to sit at my table I watch Chapman glare and throw it out. "She must hate you", Nicki states. "Most ex girlfriends do", Alex replies. "Not hard to do when you act like a cunt", I put out there. "I gave her food not a tampon", Alex defends. "Well I know you enough to say whatever you did was worse then her breakfast". "Wait-wait-wait! You two know each other?", Nicki asks "yes" ,"no". Alex and I glare. "No. I don't know you Alex", I spit out. She looks down. "Wow there Botev, I get it. You and Alex big no-no. Say Alex, what the hell have you done to the new girls?!", Nicki asks. "She fucked us over", I answer. "I did not fuck you over Kalina, I would never", Alex quickly answers. "No, you did worse", I remind her. She looks back down.

*FLASHBACK*
"I don't get it. Are you done with me or something? I was just some filler for your time, didn't mean much", I yell. "Yeah Kalina. That's exactly it. I needed somebody to fuck while I got over my ex. And you were perfect. But now I don't want you. You literally meant nothing to me. Now get out", Alex screamed in my face.

*FLASHBACK OVER*

I angrily stab my potatoes. "Uh Botev. Maybe since you and Alex have to be here with each other for awhile you two could work it out a bit. Make it bearable", Nicki suggested. "Not gonna happen. I need one fucking hell of an apology", I angrily spat. "Kalina...", Alex whispered. "Unless you find some way to make it up, which doubtful, don't speak to me", I get up with my tray tossing it out and leaving.

As I head back to my room I had to control my anger. I wanted to break everything. Kill anything. Become who I am. But I'm not allowed, I'm not allowed to be anything. I jump on my bunk and force myself asleep.

  *DREAM*

"Oh Kalina...how pathetic can you be", her words trailed on. The harsh air of the prison cripples my lungs. Everything around me breaking and fading away. "Pathetic enough to want me, pathetic enough to be here, pathetic enough to not kill me", she taunts me. I can't see her face but I know who that voice belongs to.

*DREAM OVER*

Waking up panting, drenched in sweat was not what I had in mind for a lovely nap. Nicki looked at me funny and spoke, "you good there? I mean today wasn't the best day but I don't want you to get hurt over it". Looking her dead in the eyes I say, "Alex doesn't affect me. She may piss me off. But Alex doesn't get that power over me anymore", I hiss. "Anymore?", she questions. "Trust me Nicki. The last thing you wanna do is dig too deep.", I warn. "Lights out inmates!", a guard screams. I lay back down and stare at the ceiling. "Y'know Botev, most people warn you. But everybody's got their own shit", Nicki huffs. "I know. But the only reason Alex is still alive is because I have protection over her. I should've let her die. But...no. Not because of me. She will die on her own terms", I whisper. Nicki stays silent. "Is somebody after her?", she asks. "Yes and no", I reply softly. "But no more questions. Like I said, don't dig too deep", I warn her again. I turn to my side and force myself to pass out.

A light shive wakes me. "Botev! I need to talk to you!", nicki whisper yells. I glare but get up none the less. "Not here", Nicki whispers. I nod and follow her wherever she leads me. Inside is a chapel. "Are you saving my soul?", I joke. "No but maybe this saves mine", a familiar voice says. "Nicki what the fuck!", I yell. She waves and does a salute before leaving me to the devil. I turn around. "I thought I said not to speak to me", I remind this idiot. "Yeah but nicki says that we should talk. Some warning you gave to her", she jumps in. "Alex. You know who I am. Think. How are you still alive", I question. "Well...my job?....", she thinks out loud. I shake my head no. "..you. It was you. You have protection over me. Like you used to. You never took it off", she realized. "And now it wavers. So don't do anything stupid and I won't revoke it. Trust me. Your old boss wants you dead. I'm the only thing standing in his way. That was until I went to prison. But it still stands because I went to the same one as you", I explain. "Why didn't you revoke it?", she whispers. "I was heartbroken. But there was no reason to mourn as well", I brush her off. I start walking out of the chapel before finally looking back. "Don't look into my words like you usually do. It's plain and simple. Be nice and live. Upset me and die". And then I left the room while she looked at me in fear once again.
