The mysterious woman looked over at Heath from his bed across the cell.
??:So what're you in for
H: I got falsely accused of abusing my boyfriend
??: oh so you're gay?
H:Yes, but I haven't come out yet so
??: Why?
H:I'm afraid to, I've been pretending to be straight for my whole life and I feel like once I tell everyone that I'm actually gay they won't love me anymore.
??: That's pretty deep man, but I do think you should come out once you get out of this hellhole. If they do truly love you I'm sure they will understand
H:Thanks a lot, this really helps. What's your name anyways
Vanessa: I'm Vanessa, you?
H: Oh I'm Heath, nice to meet you. Pretty name
Vanessa: Thanks same to you cutie
H: Uhh ok...
Vanessa then got up to wash her hands and I started to observe everything about her. The way she dressed, her face, and her attitude. She was wearing a cropped white tank top covered in whiskey stains and black jeans. To top it off she had dried mascara on her face from crying the night before and smeared bright red lipstick on. We are both still wearing the clothes we had on when we got arrested because both us are staying here for under 48 hours.
I pull up the ragged covers and turn towards the wall trying to keep my mind off of where I am. As soon as my eyes start to get heavy and I start to fall asleep I feel a hand run up my leg. I look up to see Vanessa on top of my lap grinning. "What the hell are you doing?", I panic starting to sit up causing the bed to creek. "Shhhh be quiet cutie", she says continuing to grin at me while twirling my hair with her finger. "Vanessa I'm gay, I've literally just told you this",I whisper trying not to have the guards notice us. "Come on it's not that big of a deal, just touch me a little bit. My boyfriend hasn't been closer than 2 feet away from me in months..", she says trying to persuade me. "No, now get the fuck off me you slut". I don't know why I snapped like that, it's not how I am but I couldn't help it. I mean my boyfriend did just get carried away from me in an ambulance a few hours ago.
-Time skip to 2 days later when Heath is about to leave jail-
I walk out holding my belongings in a plastic bag they gave me and start to take out my carton of cigarettes. I see David sitting in his Tesla waving for me to get in. I collapse in the passenger seat letting out a breathe of air. " I'm never going back to that hellhole EVER again". " I don't blame you dude, just staring at the brick walls on the outside made me scared shitless, lets go"
End of chapter 4
