I had been in here for 2 days now. No one has come to tell me if I will have extra charges, or to take my story of the events. I have just been here, existing, forgotten. I have been trying to stay busy so my mind does not go back to the place it was before. The place where I blamed myself. It was not my fault, I did not ask for any of this. Honestly, I am tired of dealing with the consequences for my reaction to a situation I did not ask to be put in. When I was little, this is not the dream I had in mind. I have spent the hours working out, I will not be caught off guard and unprepared ever again. I have heard the screams, seen the fights, and witnessed what happens. I won't let that be me.

"I was minding my own business and they got what they deserved for trying to mess with me." "Why would they want to mess with you though? You haven't done anything particularly worse than the other inmates here." She keeps pressing for more information. "That's her sister." "Who's sister?" At this point I am getting tired of her playing stupid. "How are you going to help me if you haven't even read my files?"
