Remake of the Helen and Nikki scene in the prison gardens in which Nikki allows her jealousy to get the better of her.
Helen had heard enough of Nikki's ongoing abusive language "I am so sick of you" her accent heavy from the anger raking her body. Nikki never listens. She stood ready to walk away from the argument, from the con and the relationship it shouldn't be this hard. Should it?
Her legs had only managed 3 steps before she heard the sharp intake of breath followed by a small whimper. She glanced back to see Nikki's head dropped her back shaking slightly. Is she crying? Helen asked herself. Every ounce of her wanted to run back to Nikki but her pride wouldn't allow it.
Nikki gripped her hand forcefully as she attempted to soothe the wound caused by the gardening tool; she noted how she felt no pain in her hand. Her whole body felt numb compared to the pain she felt in her heart. Helen was done. Done with her and who could blame her. Tears dripped down her pale face. Her eyes scanned the wound the blood flowed uncontrollable she knew she needed help but to show weakness to a screw? to anyone other than Helen? Never! She attempted to pull her weak body to stand her legs shake from the drained weight before she could steady herself she felt the wind blow past her ears, her eyes half closed saw nothing but blue skies and white clouds before her back landed hard on the grassy ground. Her senses numb to the shouting and figures around her.
Helen willed her body to turn from the kneeling woman before her but to no arrival. She saw Nikki unsteadily rise. Something wasn't right. Helen was about to call to her but before any words could manifest she saw the tall woman fall to the ground. All anger left her body only to be replaced with concern and worry "NIKKI" she shouted as she rushed to the inmate's side.
Nikki was barely conscious by this point and wasn't answering any of the calls throne to her. Upon reaching Nikki's side she noted the blood stained jacket and the bleeding hand her eyes scanned for the object that inflicted the wound her eyes resting upon the tool. Frowning at the object she lowered herself to pull the taller woman's head into her lap her hands gripping the still leaking wound.
Miss barker soon joined the scene and began to radio for medical support in the g wing gardens, Nikki's sight zoomed in and out upon Helens face, and she could barely make out her features before she blacked out
Beep...beep...beep...beep...beep
The noise was the only sound in the whole as Nikki slowly began to come to, the next thing she noticed was warmth she wasn't outside anymore that was for sure. And then her hand, the throbbing pain and warmth that she was finally feeling, next was pain but not in her head from where she hit the floor or her back from the same impact but her heart. Flashes of Helen ran through her head. Why did she have to be so stupid? "H..el..en" a low murmur escaped from the inmates lips her eyes still closed.
Nikki felt a soft squeeze upon her good hand followed by a shift in the weight of the mattress as somebody raised them self to come close to her ear "I'm here sweetheart." A slightly harder squeeze "I'm right here" then a gentle kiss upon her cheek.
Helen? She's here. With me. She didn't leave, i haven't lost her! Nikki attempted to mutter some sort of apology to the scot but the words where lost in exit.
"Shhhh sweetheart don't try and speak just rest I'm not going anywhere "Helen ran her free hand through Nikki's soft black bangs.
A small smile graced Nikki's lips followed by a whisper "I...lo..ve...you" warmth spread across her body as she fell into a pleasant sleep. Helens heart skipped a beat as she caught the confession she could never tire of hearing.
