As the alarm blares i sit straight up "What is that noise?" i say to nobody. As my cell door opens and officer walks by "Head to mess hall for breakfast cupcake" i nod my head and follow the other inmates to the mess hall, getting in line i see Briley father, why is he always handing out trays. As he is handing me my tray he slips me a note, "Give this to Briley next time you see her" he mutters under my voice i look around to make sure no guards are looking and place the note in my sock.
After breakfast we get open Rec for an hour, i walk to the table with Brileys father, there playing poker, as i sit down Brileys father smiles i look around at the table "Malik" the other inmates quickly introduce themselves. "So Malik do you like your dreads being pulled?" i look at the inmate that called him self as Coco. "Do i look gay to you nigga" the inmate nods his head "my bad just gotta feel out the young fresh meat you know" right when he finishes his statement we hear a chair being thrown, i quickly turn around to see whats happening then see to inmates fighting an officer quickly comes and grabs me by the arm and takes me out of open rec into a seclusion room. i look at the officer "nigga i wasnt fighting the fuck you take me here for" the officer closes the cell "The warden will be here to talk to you in about 10 minutes." i think to myself why is the warden coming to see me in didnt get in a fight shouldnt they be worrying about the inmates fighting not me?
When the warden comes in he gives me a smile, stupid fuck thinks hes better then me. "Mr. Carter, im happy to inform you, you will be released today at 2 O'clock" in complete confusion i ask warden "What do you mean? i thought i was here for the next 6months" the warden nods "Ah Mr.Carter the court gave your parents the option for you to spend one night in this facility and serve 200 hours of community serves, or do 300 hours of community serves 2 years probation and 90 days on house arrest, You're parents choice wisely, i hope being here for the past 18 hours has given you a reason not to come back" i nod my head at a loss for words. The warden then shakes my head and begins to walk out "Wait do i have to stay in this room" the warden turns around, an officer should be here to get you shortly but we have a fight we must attend to" he says with a smirk. That bastard must of been reading my mind. For the next 30 minutes i sit in the small room waiting on an officer to get me. Once he does he walks me back to my cell informing me because of the fight lunch would be served in the cells today. This makes me wonder if my roommate will be there for lunch since he works for the mess hall. When the officer opens my cell the room is empty "You're roommates on lunch duty and will be back in the room within the next hour please when they bring you a tray, place his on the stand." i nod my head letting the officer know i understand him. I then walk in my cell and he undoes my cuffs. i feel the note in my sock, did mr. collins know i was being released today..should i read the note. right as i go to pull the note out of my sock an inmate comes up and hands me two trays. i grab them and place mr.collins on the stand and i decided not to read the note. Once i finish my lunch another inmate i assume who is also on the lunch crew comes up and collects my tray.
About 30 minutes later mr.Collins comes in the cell, and begins eating his lunch quickly in silence i look over at him "Why are you eating so fast?" he looks at me "Only have 15 minutes before the officers come and collect the trays from the lunch crew" i nod not wanting to make conversation. When he finishes his lunch he place the tray in the cells opening. He wipes his mouth and looks back at me. "So rumor has it, that your leaving today?" i look at him wondering how a rumor spread so fast, he chuckles "well actually a guard told me this afternoon while passing out trays i would be getting a new roommate tomorrow" i nod "yeah i guess.. my parents took some sort of deal with the court." mr.collins nods his head "You seem like a decent kid Malik please take care of my baby, dont let no hoodlum in her parents and break her heart please" i look at him and a wave of guilt overcomes me he doesn't even know im sort of with his daughter. i look at him "I assure you Mr. Collins nothing will happen to your daughter, i will make sure of it" he smiles "Thank you Malik" just then an officer comes to the cell, "Come on cupcake gotta go do your discharge paper work" i look at mr. Collins "Dont worry sir ill let Briley know about-" the officer cuts me off "We dont got all day cupcake" i follow the officer out to the visitation room then to an office where they give me back my personal belongings. About an hour later my mom shows up, and signs all the paper work.
Walking out of the jail i hug my mom so tightly "mom im so sorry to have disappointed you" she hugs me back "Malik you have never disjointed me, Briley told me what happened, i know you would never fight just to fight you got a good head on your shoulders" i smile at my mom, i dont think theres another women as perfect as her. When i get into the car i see all my brothers mom announces we are going to lunch i look around "Wheres Briley" mom swallows hard "she stayed home" i nod my head "oh" trevon adds "she didnt know we were picking you up, we wanted to suprise her" i start twirling my thumbs i want nothing more then to hold Briley, i have to tell her something important and i must give her the note her dad gave me.
The car ride home after lunch isn't to long, mom drops all the boys off at a friends house for a basket ball game, i decide i just want to go home. When getting home mom leans over and kisses me, i have to go run some errands but i should be home within an hour or two." i smile at my mother as she pulls out of the drive way. I take a deep breath as i look at my front door. When i walk in to the house everythings quiet besides the sound of a movie. I walk into the living room to see Briley curled up in pajamas holding a teddy bear, i look closer and see she isnt curled up alone, and my blood begins to boil. What is Thomas doing here. i set down my paper work. Briley turns around hearing the noise he face is stained with tears, but i dont care. I look at her "I was gone for 24 hours and you already replace me? With Thomas??" Thomas turns around "Malik its not what it-" my voice booms across the living room "Dont fucking tell me its not what it looks like!!! You are curled up with some dumb bitch thats suppose to love me. Get the fuck out of my house Thomas and dont dare let me catch you again" Brileys face looks shocked and broken all at the same time. I throw the glass of water and hear it shatter as i walk away i here briley scream from fright.
***Brileys point of view***
I look at Thomas, "you should probably go." he looks at me angry "Your just going to let him talk to you like that" i shake my head "Its none of your business Thomas please, just go" he looks at me "Dont ever ask me to comfort you again Briley! For heavens fucking sakes Briley! I saved your life when Malik failed!! i would of never let you go in there alone let as lone fall asleep! I love you Briley" tears start to fall down my face quicker now "please Thomas you have to leave" and with that Thomas makes his way to the front door slamming it behind him.
