Jaylah

"Ughh" I groaned as I punched my alarm to shut it off. I rolled over to see that my boyfriend wasn't there, again. I slid out of bed walking over to our bathroom and turning on the shower. I looked at myself in the mirror waiting on the water to warm up.

You're letting yourself go

You need to move on

He's causing to much stress

"NO!" I screamed at my mirror. I closed my eyes.

3 months without him

Keep it together jay

For him

I stepped into the shower and took a deep breath, Grabbing the soap and Rubbing it over my body I closed my eyes again.

"jaylah yo why you always gotta play with the fuckin soap!"  he fussed at her while she laughed hysterically.

"boy shut yo ass up, I can do what I want" she giggled more. "Yeah?" he backed her against the wall. Her breath hitched in her throat as he smacked her ass and started to lay kisses on her neck.

"Yeah.." she moaned.

"Yeah" I whispered to myself. I felt warm tears run down my face and I quickly turned off the water and stepped out. "For Him.." I repeated stepping out of the bathroom.
I walked into the room I once shared with my boyfriend unable to get him off my mind. A noise caught my attention making me look over to my bed, it was my phone ringing. Grabbing my phone I looked at the number taking a deep breath before pressing accept.

"This is a pre-paid collect call from ... Jahaan. An inmate at ... Stoneward Correctional Institution. This call is subject to recording and monitoring. To accept charges, press ... one"

"Jay.." I heard his voice through my phone and had to stop the tears from falling.

"I miss you so much Jahaan" I breathed out "Shit ain't the same without you" I layed back.
"I miss you more ma, you coming to see me this week?" I could hear his goofy little grin making me smile.
"You know I am stop askin dumb shit" I rolled my eyes while he laughed. "Watch the attitude lil girl" his voice deepened. "Yeah whatever" I giggled.

"Aye boy hurry up you got other people waitin" I heard in the background.
"Smh, baby I gotta go" he spoke now with sadness in his voice.
"It's aight love. I'll see you in a few days. I love you"
"I love you more princess" and with that he hung up.

I took a deep breath and stood up out of my bed. "gotta get him outta there." I whispered to myself.

Jahaan

6:30pm

It's like his punches never stopped. They just kept coming and coming and it wasn't shit I could do about it.

"I fucking told you to stay away from him nigga" he kicked me harder.
I was on the floor curled up into a ball. Every thing hurt, it was like he cracked every bone in my damn body. "I told you I have a girls and I don't like niggas." I coughed up blood tryna explain myself to this dumb fuck. I tried to get up only to be kicked back down. He bent down and grabbed me by my hair bringing his mouth near my ear. " if I catch you near him again it's gon be worse than this time" he put my head back on the floor and walked out of my cell. I dragged myself over to the bed and layed my back against the side of it.

"For her.." I whispered to myself.

I heard heavy footsteps and looked up to see a prison guard coming into my cell. A specific one at that, been giving me shit since I got here.
"How you like that beating boy?" He chuckled. "Stop fucking calling me dat. My name ain't boy it's Jahaan." I told him. "It's whatever I say it is" his face going straight. His presence made my stomach turn, he was a racist piece of shit and I couldn't stand him. "Get yourself cleaned up, you look like shit. You have to go in the commons tomorrow and inmates don't like seeing that, they'll think you're weak."

I looked him up and down "Yeah aight.." I whispered to myself as he walked out of my cell.

"Racist white bitch"
