Anita was still in the cell where she was locked up when Gracie came. Gracie had requested she wanted to see her and she was dragged out from where she had been kept.The nice police officer who stood behind the counter revealed to them that they had gotten news that Mimie was okay, that she had just suffered a mild concussion.Gracie and Mimie heaved a sigh of relief at the mention of Mimie being alive but they had no idea of what awaited them in front.Anita had been scared she had become a murderer, she had pictured herself standing in front of the judge who sentenced her to death or life imprisonment as he pleased.The police officer informed them of the decision Mimie had taken. She had decided to press charges on the basis of assault and battery. She had gone as far as saying Anita had come charging at her directly.Mimie who had heads for coming up with mischievous acts had gone far in coming up with a different version of what had actually happened. By her words, she had c
The day of the hearing had finally arrived.Gracie, alongside Anita, had arrived at court an hour early as they awaited the presence of the judge and Mimie and her lawyer.Anita seated alone,felt a rush of emotion running through her veins.She had felt fear,scared of the judgment that she would receive from the judge.Her mind had played its own prank on her, making her feel guilty before she was pronounced.She felt broken, she was all by herself. Her parents had sort of disowned her when she left by herself. They hadn’t called her since she left in anger. She was all alone, there was no Rio in her life again.Gracie, her roommate, was the only person that stood beside her during this time. She promised herself never to let her guard trust anyone. As she had been betrayed by Mimie who she had opened up to and became friends with.People had started to troop in, making the court full as they awaited the arrival of the judge to begin the case.They all stood as soon as the judge
Anita had thought the three days in jail would be easy, but honestly, they weren't.She had gone through hell barely spending a day in a cell.Her cell mates were already picking on her calling her a fresh meat welcoming her to their world.The plan was to stay alone as Gracie had advised and endure for the duration of days she would spend.She had no intention to get into trouble as it was the reason she was there, but otherwise was the case as the jail she was sent to housed many criminals.She had only passed through some of the cells when she realized it was going to be difficult to stay with the kind of people.Murderers and serial killers occupied a reasonable amount of the jail she was to serve her sentence.She wondered why she had been sent to this particular jail as they were other ones in the city, the women present here were big and huge.An all female prison that required the strong hands of male officers as they had proven to be difficult over time.She gritted her te
Rio, however, isn't happy, he has gone back to his old self.He barely spoke to anyone as he locked himself in his bedroom.His mother had tried talking to him but it didn’t help as it didn’t change anything. He had begun to skip meals not caring what would happen if he continued living that way.He had only pretended to be happy when Riley was around him, she had asked him what the matter was some days and he had put on a smile telling her he just felt a bit sleepy and needed rest.She had no idea of what had happened, she had been happy when he told her she would be getting a new mom and she found out Anita was going to be her mom. She was filled with excitement as she jumped up.Rio had felt some sort of emptiness since he let her go. He knew she had pretended to use him to get her books signed but he couldn’t get her out of his head.He found himself daydreaming calling her name as he jumped up from his bed.Unable to move on as he felt a major part of him had been destroyed.
The third day had finally come. Three days sentence seemed like a year as each passsing day brought her extreme pain and torture.Her cell mate didn’t spare her as he made good use of her.“Finally” she said when the warden came to take her out.The warden had opened her cell and taken with her cell mate giving her a deep stare as if she meant watch your back.Anita had refused to follow her rules. Her cell mate had not been able to take no for an answer and sent a heavy punch to her stomach which made her pass out.The immediate attention of the jail nurse was called on as she was rushed there.Her cell mate was not left unpunished as she was locked in the isolation room for hours as if that would make her act any better as she spat on the shoes of the police officers who had used to take her in the isolation room as she proved difficult.“Breath of fresh air” She said as she stepped out, she was glad to be out of jail.Three days of jail time had taught her a lesson she would never
Gracie didn’t like the current situation of things,her once cheerful friend had now turned to a shadow of herself.She had been pained to see tears roll down her cheeks as she told her of everything that had happened to her.Interested in her friend's happiness,she started her car and set off for the main road heading towards Rio’s house.She had the intention of giving him her piece and letting him know the truth about everything.She arrived at Rio's house and knocked on the gate. Tired of knocking without response she pushed it open and it opened to her surprise.She walked in headed straight for the door.A single knock and Mimie came out of the house.She was shocked to find Mimie there, she had gone with the intention to talk some sense to Rio but she had ended up being blocked by Mimie who stood in front of the door.“Please I’m here to see Rio” she had spoken softly telling Mimie who didn’t seem to care about why she was here.“He’s not here” She replied as she rolled her eyes
Rio felt completely stupid after he found out the truth, he was angry at himself for how he had treated Anita.He threw out of the house even when she had begged him,he had not given her the opportunity to explain things on her own.Feeling confused,he sat on the floor.Gracie had left him after she gave him a piece of mind which was her initial plan. She told him how Anita had regretted her actions and how she had planned to tell him earlier but didn’t get the opportunity. She told him how she had run away from her abusive parents,believing she had love waiting for her back here.“She gave up her life for you,Rio” Gracie shouted, pained by her friend's attitude.Anita had been guilty of using him to get her books published but she had fallen in love with him for who he truly was and couldn’t get him out of her mind.She pleaded with hun to reconcile with her as she had become a shadow of her own after she mentioned she had just got out of jail.He had been shocked when he heard she h
Rio had finally gotten the opportunity to talk to Anita as he came earlier than before.He had been determined to meet with her,he had set an alarm to wake him in case he slept off like he had done before.He had gotten to her house before the sun came out. He came down from his car quietly not wanting to disturb people who still slept.He knew Anita to be an early bird, he knocked on the door softly and she opened it.She had shut the door back as she saw his face but he was faster than her as he used his leg to hold back preventing the door from being shut.She left him and went back into the apartment with him following from behind and shutting the door behind him.He went to his knees immediately and shut the door,crawling to where she sat.Rio had come up with a plan he assumed was perfect, he was ready to do anything to do anything to win her back.“Babe,I’m sorry” He apologized,as he stretched his hands to touch the hem of her night wear.Anita, not interested in what he had to
