Piper woke up, laying on the most uncomfortable bed she's ever slept on, the cell doors opened and the loud speaker screamed

"All inmates in the kitchen ASAP. Breakfast starts in five"

Piper lunged herself up and out of the room. She sighed as she walked down the hall. She looked around, the first time walking out of her cell since Monday.

She sat down on a chair and started to eat her eggs. She hated eggs, but it was food. Real food. A bunch of other cell mates sat down too, one Piper noticed right away...

"Stephanie?" Piper asked

"Hello, roomie!" Steph smiled, as piper shivered in her skin

AT BRYNNS HOUSE

"Alexis! Where's the soap!" Lauren screamed

"UNDER THE SINK!" Lexi yelled flipping her bacon

The front door opened, "hello?" Lexi asked, she waited for a response and didn't hear one. She decided to go and look, the door closed

"Hello? Brynn? Are you home?"

Lexi looked Jake right in the eyes. "Jake?"

"Alexis!" Jake said shocked "wow. I wasn't sure I'd be seeing you today"

"I live here, Jake. What did you expect?"

"I don't know, where's Brynn?" Jake asked

"She's still in the ICU. Not that you'd care, anyways what do you need?"

"I'm home for the weekend" Jake said

"Well I hope you made arrangements with Chloe, or Clair, cause you aren't staying here" Lexi said

Lauren walked into the room, shocked to see Jake. "Hi"

"Lauren?" Jake asked

"Well isn't this perfect" Lexi said "GET OUT" she said pointing and shoving Jake out the door and slamming it

Jake rolled his eyes and walked down the street. A second later there was another knock on the door. Lexi opened it hard

"WHAT!" She screamed in Katie's face

"Hey to you too" Katie said taken back by being yelled at

"Sorry, hey" Lexi said "I'm stressed out and mad"

"Why?"

"Jake was here. I don't want to see him! He's a god damn cheater. He hurt me, he hurt my family!"

"Jake hurt you? Really. You hurt him. Dumping him without a reason!" Katie said

"Excuse me? He CHEATED"

"With who? Jake isn't a fucking cheater Alexis"

"Yes he is. He cheated on me with Lauren! She even told me, with a photo proof! She knew she hurt me too! So she came clean, HE HID IT FROM ME!" Lexi yelled

"JAKE HAS NO IDEA WHY YOU DUMPED HIM ALEXIS! BUT I KNOW HE DIDNT CHEAT"

"He cheated on me when he ran off with you"

"Jake was with me that whole time! He never ever hooked up with anyone!" Katie said, Lauren peeked out the door

"Bitch, get your lying ass out here" Katie snapped

Lauren walked over and smiled "hey! I'm Lauren"

"Hi, tell my sister the truth. Now!"

"About?"

"ABOUT JAKE! HE DIDNT CHEAT"

"Lexi, He did!" Lauren cried "I'd never lie"

"Holy crap." Lexi said slamming the door, she screamed too. "Tell me the truth Lauren. NOW!"

"Okay, fine. I'm sorry, I lied. Jake and I never dated. We never hooked up. I just wanted you to my self. I wanted him gone. I'm sorry" Lauren said

"You lied?"

"I'm sor-"

"get out"

"I'm sorry lexi,"

"GET OUT!" Lexi screamed

Lexi threw something at Lauren. "NOW! I hate you. You lied to me so I'd dump my husband! GET OUT!"

Lexi ran up to her bedroom crying, and slammed the door. She laid in the bed sobbing

She texted Jake "I'm so sorry!"

In the Prison

Stephanie and Piper return to the cell that they share.

"Why are you here Steph? What did you do to be here?" Piper asked

"I killed three guards at the institution I was at" Steph said "they brought me here. I get a life sentence"

"Are you gonna kill me next?" Piper asked

"No... I'm just gonna hurt you very.. very bad" Steph said raising her fist.

Piper screamed

On the road

Jake was running, along the streets. It was 2:02am. He was running to clear his head. Who knows, maybe he really did want lexi back.

His phone buzzed, it was Lexi. "I'm so sorry!"

He stopped, and opened the chat. He texted back "what?"

"I know you didn't cheated. I know it. I'm so sorry Jake! I miss you so much. I need you" Lexi's text said

"I love you too, I never stopped" jake said running for the house. An hour later he arrived at Brynn's. He knocked on the door, but no one answered. He opened it, and ran inside. He saw lexi standing at the top of the stairs

"Jake!" She cried running down, and he ran up. He lifted her in his arms and hugged her tight. The two kissed, while both happily crying

"I've missed you more than anything" Lexi cried

"I'm never leaving you again" Jake said

"No! I am never leaving you again" Lexi said tightening her grip. The two hugged for a while longer, while Lauren sat outside watching. With a sad face, a tear fell from her eye.

Lexi and Jake finally broke from their hug and shut the front door. Going up to the room. The two cuddled

"I have a confession" Jake said

"What?" Lexi asked

"I really did cheat.. with Lauren" Jake said

"You didn't.." Lexi said

"I know" jake laughed, "But you hurt me when you thought I did. That's payback!"

"Shut up and kiss me" Lauren said as Jake pulled in and kissed her.
