Her eyes look back down, past the tattered cotton and at the smattering of scars.
“What happened?” she asks me with sadness so evident in her voice.
I want to shove her off my lap, to leave her in this filthy cell. But I don’t. Instead I stay perfectly still until I can lower her arm back down. If I leave her, I have nothing.
She’ll judge me. Pity me. And use me.
But I need her. Without her, I have nothing.
My eyes drift to the cement floor. I should tell her that I don’t know how to really help her. But I can’t.
“I want to leave, Jay,” she says and her eyes beg me as well and I want to tell her I’ll find a way. But I’ll never lie to her.
“I do too,” I tell her the truth. I can give her a small bit of it.
If I can find a way, I’ll make sure she gets out of here.
I swear to it. I’ll do whatever it takes.
It’s the only thing I have to live for anymore.
