Chapter Two

This shit is now real

A storm of anger passes through me when I think about my short conversation with Micah outside my cell. He walked me back to the cage two days ago and I haven’t seen him since. Maybe he gathered that he is dead to me and I never want to lay my eyes on him ever again.

I’m alone, abandoned by the one person I trusted the most. I should be glad that this cell is not dark, like that suffocating hole in the wall where I was kept for months. I thought that horror would never end, that I was going to die in there. Somehow Micah found out that I’m the girl he saved, the girl that believed in his promises. Presumably it was Lee that told him, so now I know why he didn’t ask me any questions during the interrogation, why he didn’t even want to look at me.

I start scratching my arms until my skin is raw, trying to dismiss the familiarity of his touch and the storm of emotions surging through me. Everything about his presence was overwhelming and violent at the same time. First the bastard started sleeping with me just to get information about Suranne’s case, and then he locked me up in prison for a crime I didn’t commit. It may be a nicer prison, but it is still a prison. The similarities of the two men I laid my trust in punch a painfully treasonous hole in my gut. Now after two days he believes that I’m innocent. I can’t get my head around it. Micah won’t be able to fix his mistake. The rat will get to me sooner rather than later and the only option for me is to run.

I lie back down on the bed, wiping away the hot tears that keep rolling down my cheeks. Crying won’t help. I have to pull myself together and fight. I’ll plead not guilty tomorrow and wait to see what happens. The cops won’t send me to real prison, not until the trial is over. Tequila might be the only person that can get me out of here, but I can’t call her. She protects her privacy like a lion and I can’t let anyone know that we’re connected. For some reason the tears just keep streaming down my cheeks. I’m falling apart, going back to that phase straight after Micah rescued me, when I was drowning in black waters, when every day was a struggle. I barely existed then, like I barely exist now. The rat hasn’t laid his hand on me for three years; Micah was the man that I was never afraid of, the one that I allowed into my twisted world.

He thinks that he can fix my ruined life, career and dreams. It’s too little too late. From now on it’s just a ride straight to hell. The man that I love and hate at the same time has no chance of redemption. Tomorrow morning I’ll be in front of a judge; then things will move quickly.
