Baby love part 2

*5 days after*

Flaca was in her bunk facing the wall curled up in her thin blanket crying silently cause of so many reasons

She wanted her, fuck. she needed her

Everytime they lock eyes Maritza looks down breaking eye contact and is grabbed by Daya or Gloria and taken further away from her. That hurts

She doesn't feel comfortable in her own skin no more, how could she? She started getting mad at herself for being gay, how sad is that?

To top it all, she was crying for hunger, she knew saying that phrase to Gloria about her mother would not do her any good. But she never thought Gloria would get to the point where she'd tell everyone working in the kitchen to not feed her.

5 days and all she has eaten is one single packet of Skittles and the rest is all water.

Flaca's figure was always thin, but the woman had curves, now all you can see is bones. Her face isn't chubby like before, but hey, I guess now she has a jawline.

She stayed there curled up under a blanket, she didn't even try to go fetch her breakfast anymore, it was useless she was being starved, Gloria had talked to the commissary workers, they weren't selling anything edible to the inmate Marisol Flaca Gonzales anymore.

"Fla, are you awake?"

A voice came from inside the cube, Flaca turns her head to find her small best friend, (well if you can still call her that at this point) looking back at her. Her eyes glistened as she bit her lower lip to stop a sob.

Flaca looked at her unimpressed and turned back to her original position, away from her, not looking at her but thinking of her. She had fully given up on them, their friendship is done, Maritza's head is probably filled with ideas that Flaca did all she did cause she was into her, but she wasn't, yes the girl is beautiful but she'd never take advantage of their friendship like that.

"Ok I don't have much time like 30 mins max. Today is the only day Gloria and Daya are on their shift and I'm not. Please I need to talk to you, so fucking badly."

Maritza says her voice broken taking a quick short breath after a few words, Flaca takes a few seconds and then turns on her back with her hand on the back of her head not being able to resist Maritza's sad looking face. Maritza takes it as a sign so she hurries her way into the bunk, literally jumps in it, covers herself and locks her arms around Flaca's now thin waist and buries her face as deep into Flaca's chest as she could sobbing uncontrollably making her bodyframe shake as she did

"I'm sorry I didn't come last time they wouldn't let me, they're up my ass all the time since they found out"

She says her voice muffled

She pulls her face out of Flaca's chest and cups her best friend's face

"Why didn't you tell me you were gay? It's not like I would have loved you any less you know that"

She says her eyes shooting hearts towards Flaca's as she removed Flaca's tears from her face

"Baby, please talk to me, I can't go any longer not talking to you I'm going crazy"

Maritza begs her, Flaca looks down to see Maritza still holding her face as she let her head fall down in surrender.
Flaca bites her lower lip feeling bad

"Cause you'd think that I act the way I act with you cause I'm interested or I'm trying to change your sexual orientation or some shit which I'm not I just find it-"

"'Hard to say those three simple words so instead I show it by actions that's all.' Yes I know. And I would have never thought of that come on in that case I'm gay too cause I'm the one clinging to your neck and kissing you if I get too excited about something"
