This is my first OINTB fanfic. I got the inspiration after listening to Photograph by Ed Sheeran. Please Read & Review. No copyright infringement intended.
AlexPOV
Pain. That's all I can feel. Aydin had left me to die here in this fucking greenhouse. I thought about how I've lived my life, how I've fucked things over, fucked people over, ruined things with Piper.
Piper. Shit.
She'll probably never realize how much I love her, how much I need her. If by some fucking miracle that I make it out alive, I swear that I will do everything in my power to show her that this new person she's become is just the prison getting to her; that she's still the sweet, little waitress that I fell in love with all those years ago.
The greenhouse is getting blurrier and blurrier….was that smoke? Mother fucker. He lit the greenhouse on fire...was beating me to the brink of death not enough?
My eyes were getting harder to keep open. I knew I wasn't going to make it out of here. I closed my eyes, wincing as I took a breath, and pictured Piper smiling at me before everything went black.
PiperPOV
As I watched all the inmates running towards the lake and the new guard about to shit his pants, I noticed smoke coming from the greenhouse and another new guard walking away from the prison all together. Wait. He looks familiar, where have I seen him before?
I shook my head. I'm just being paranoid.
"Alex!" Someone shouted behind me. I turned to see Lolly gawking at the greenhouse in horror.
"Alex?" I questioned.
She turned to look at me, fear smeared across her face. "Alex stayed behind to clean up! She's in there! We've got to get help!" And with that she turned and ran towards the prison.
Alex. Fire. Greenhouse.
My feet were moving towards the greenhouse before my brain registered what I was doing. I could hear myself screaming her name as I busted through the door. Alex was lying on the ground covered in blood. Her leg was bent in a disgustingly awkward position. She had been beaten and I wasn't even sure that she was alive but I had to get her out of here. I looped my arms around shoulders and started to drag her out of there. I got her about ten feet from the burning building before I laid her down on the grass.
"Alex! Come on baby, you've got to wake up!" I sobbed over her. She was breathing, that much I could tell. "Alex! Don't you fucking leave me."
Caputo and Luschek were running towards us, screaming at me to explain what happened, but I couldn't bring myself to answer them. I just stared at Alex's body counting the small breaths that she was taking. Making sure that they didn't stop. I felt arms loop around my body and start dragging me away as someone started to take care of Alex. I fought against them, screaming, I needed to be there with her. I couldn't leave her, she needs me. There was a sharp pain in my arm before everything faded to grey.
