You and Me...Always

Meeting Teresa Mendoza

It was a normal day wake up, sit on my bed, stare at the wall for hours, try to escape, get captured, go to sleep, then repeat. However today when I woke up I saw this unknown girl next to me asleep just when I was going to get a good look at her the lunch lady came and passed me a sandwich then turned to the new girl

Lunch Lady-Despierta. Oye. Escuchen. Es hora de despertar1

She then threw the sandwich at her which rattled her awake. She proceeded to sit up and look around. Girls where folding laundry, painting their nails and talking, the birds that where flying around and the man that was forcing drugs into a woman's arm. At that moment she stared particularly hard but after a while she looked away and stood up. I watched her walk to the gate and proceed to talk to the men on the other side but I knew it was a waste of time

New Girl - Perdóneme2. I need to see Camila

At the mention of her name he hit the gate with his gun knocking her to the floor and knocking over on the girls stuff

Girl - Damn you bitch, don't knock over my shit

She sat on her knees touching her bottom lip which was bleeding. She then looked to her left as if someone was speaking to her but I guess that's what happens to people in this situation. They form their own realities heck when I first showed up I made up a different version of me to tell me what I was supposed to do. Eventually I realized the only person who can help me is me and that is why I am the only one who actually tries to get out of this place the sooner I get out of here I sooner I can get away from James, from Camila, from all of this. Back to the girl she had moved to sit next to the gate then was approached by Aveline. Aveline a professional, she was a good girl she even helped me when I got here. She offered the new girl a rag for her face she accepted it with a, "Gracias" as Aveline sat next to her and I proceeded to focus on their conversation

Aveline-You hungry

New Girl-No. Gracias

Aveline-It's okay. I know you're scared. My name's Aveline

New Girl-Teresa

So finally a name to a face

Aveline-Are you a pro or a mule

Teresa-Neither

Aveline-Do you even know where you are?

Teresa-Dallas

Aveline-My advice to you? The guy that just gave you that, that asshole, he's the nicest guy in here. Except, James but he's only nice to Sierra. You just stick close to me, and I'll help you out. I help alot of girls. You know... if you follow me, you'll see and before you know it, you're gonna be in my position. I'm a mule now so... I get some things the other girls don't get. Better food, you know, better money. And sure, I got to do some things for them sometimes but it's good to stay quiet around here. Like a mouse.

She laughed and played a toy mouse on Teresa's knee

Aveline-You got any kids?

Teresa-No

Aveline-I have a kid in El Paso I'm gonna get back to. This is gonna be fine

Lie

Aveline-Follow me, you'll turn out just like me, okay? I got to go on a run to the airport now. I'm gonna come back and take care of you this afternoon. You sure you're not hungry?

Teresa-Yeah, I'm sure

Aveline-You sure?

Teresa-Yeah

I saw Teresa give Aveline a weird look

Teresa-Are you...

All of a sudden Aveline fell to the ground
