Chapter 31: Big Mike

//this chapter contains 1107 words. This ones for you Jesssssss :)
(Harvey's P.O.V.)

After Sophia and I were separated, I couldn't help but feel like utter sh*t. I didn't think she'd hate me so much or that jail would have a huge affect on her! She's been to jail more times than I can count so I don't know what the problem is.

After we went our separate ways, one of the new officers helped me get arranged.

"Mr.Barton tsk tsk tsk back in here again I've heard."

I rolled my eyes and said nothing to him, as I took the clothing he had in his hands. I entered my cell and started stripping (Not like that you dirty minded humans hehe) my shirt and pants off and putting on my orange jumper.

I gave my clothes to the officer as he put them in a bag labeling them 'Hervey.' Who the f*ck spells my name like that?

"Excuse me it's hArVeY nOt HeRvEy. H-A-R-V-E-Y." I said a little annoyed.

"Oh my bad HARVEY." He said emphasizing the A in Harvey.

"Listen man you and I are gonna have problems if things don't go out well." I said shaking my head disappointingly at the officer.

"Is that a threat Mr.Barton?" He asked through gritted teeth.

"Yes- yes it is Mr..." I trailed off looking at his name tag. "MR. BILLY BOB JOE." I said leaning towards the bars.

"Hmph. Its a shame you can't do anything in here." He said shrugging as he walked off with my bag of clothes. What a Douche.

I turned to see who my cell mate for possibly, life would be and to my surprise he was a rather bald, large man. He had tattoos covered all over his body, and he was drooling on his pillow cause he was asleep. He must be a deep sleeper if he didn't hear Billy and I's argument.

I shuffled a little closer to him before one of his eyes propped open and he jumped out of the bed hovering over me. I was not gonna lie, he was a little intimidating at first but I put on a brave face.

"Take a picture, it'll last longer." I said in a cocky tone as I tried to slide away from him, but he grabbed my arm with a firm grip and dragged me back. He was breathing heavily, but plopped me down on his bed and sat across from me, taking out a big game board along with some chess pieces. Seriously?

"You know how to play chess, pretty boy?" He asked me with a sly grin,l. He was definitely up to something.

"Yes I do, and I have a name you know." I said rolling my eyes.

"I don't care. I saw you walking in with your girlfriend earlier. If I win I get to have her, understand me." He said in a low voice.

"Oh sorry to disappoint, but she doesn't like men with fake silver teeth." I said laughing at first but then quietly stopping as he looked at me like he was about to punch me.

"I'm still betting. You in?" He asked holding out his hand.

This was hard to think about, I mean I can't just bet on Sophia without her knowing it, and if she finds out she got sold to a man who's definitely not her type she will murder me.

"Well what do I get if I win?" I asked as I crossed my arms.

"You get your girl back and I don't have to do anything." He said.

"She's not my girl-"

"IS IT A DEAL OR NOT?" He said practically yelling at me.

"Deal." I said gulping as I put my hand in his, shaking it. He squeezed my hand a little hard before he let go and I glared at him.

—20 minutes later—-

"Checkmate." I said as I moved the pieces. I heard a grunt before Mike threw the board on the floor.

"CHEATER. YOU CHEATED!" He said before throwing his hand to my face ready to hit me, but I caught it and twisted his arm behind his back.

"Don't f*cking touch me." I said before shoving him towards his bed. I don't think I was going to get much sleep for the next few nights. Mike might try to pull some stupid stunt and try to strangle me.

I sat down on my bed and heard some sniffles from behind me. Ha! He was actually crying. I guess I am strong enough hehe. I laid down and waited for Mike to fall asleep. As I heard his snores I finally closed my eyes and went to bed.

—Tomorrow, lunch time—-

I walked into the cafeteria, trying to find Sophia. I couldn't find her anywhere so I shrugged and went into line, taking out a tray, as I made my way down. After I got the disgusting gray mystery meat and the mash potato slop I plopped down next to a row of guys looking like they were going to murder the next person that talked. They were awfully quiet and ate in peace. It wasn't a few moments later until I saw a person with similar brown hair walk by, It was Sophia. Her blue eyes looked amazing in that orange outfit and her hair was still beautiful and wavy as before- NO. Nope you're with Sky, stop thinking about Sophia. I watched her as she got into line, still not noticing me yet. Once she was out she yelled at the girls telling them to scatter so she had the table all to herself. Impressive.

I picked up my tray and sat down across from her. She stabbed her mashed potatoes with her fork, clearly not having it today.

"I ALREADY TOLD YOU LEAV- oh hey Harv." She said as she toned down, her expression going from angry to soft in a matter of seconds.

"Hey Soph, how was your first night?" I asked her as I took a bite of my mash potatoes. They had a bland taste and it was horrid.

"It was great. I taught my cell mate who's boss and I even had a great sleep! What about you?" She asked as she ate the mystery meat before spitting it back out.

"S-Same. My cell mate was soooo scared of me-"

"What did you say, pal?" I heard someone say behind me as they slapped their hand on my shoulder.. I turned around, my eyes widened to see big Mike and his friends right behind me.
