limp slowly towards my cell. Prison is hell, that’s for sure. My job is to prove the innocent and send

criminals to prison. I never thought that I would one day end up here.

I haven’t had a good night’s sleep since I arrived here about two weeks ago. It’s like the moment I walked

into the cell, I was an enemy to all the inmates. For some reason, they hated me, and they proved just

how much they did.

In the back of my mind, I know this is all Rowan’s doing. I should never have crossed him. I should never have underestimated what he felt for Ava. The Rowan I knew. My Rowan. He would never have hurt me.

He would never have done anything to cause me pain.

It’s safe to say that the boy I loved and treasured all these years is long gone. The boy I fell in love with was nowhere in sight. In his place was a cold–hearted man who would hurt me because I dared to cross

stepped into this place.

Every time I was given a meal, one of my cellmates would either knock it out of my hands, spit on it, or forcefully take it from me. I’ve barely had enough food to keep a dog alive these past two weeks.

As for the shower, most of the time they would just push me out of the cubicles before I could shower. It was all horrifying and terrifying at the same time. All I wanted was to go home, but I’m not even sure

that’s possible anymore.

“Look” Joy, one of the meaner inmates says. “Our bitch princess is back”

Whoever her mother is, was wrong about naming her joy. There was nothing joyous about Joy. She didn’t bring joy or happiness to those around her. Instead, she brought nothing but misery

I can’t tell her that, though. The last time I tried standing up for myself, I ended up with a black eye. I’m really not in the mood to go through that again. The woman was solid as a F***ing rock. She had the build of a man, so you can imagine how much it F***ing hurt when she hit me.

Instead of answering, I remain quiet. It usually doesn’t work, but I still think that keeping my head down and laying low is the best course of action.
