"I will talk to the DA, she may be inclined to make a deal, but you have to start being honest with me, Alex," the female detective tells me. When I don't answer, she drums her fingers on the table. "You have 10 seconds and then you can kiss your deal good bye." She picks up her pen and moves it to the space behind her ear.
When she passes by me, I see it all flash before my eyes. Years have passed since that night in the hotel room, but it is forever ingrained into my memory. I had pleaded with you to stay with me, but you couldn't even be bothered to look over your shoulder as you walked one foot in front of the other, tightly grasping to the handle of your luggage.
"Piper Chapman," your name flies out of my mouth when I hear the door open behind me. There isn't one flash of guilt that floods through me, and in all honesty, it surprises, though I don't know why.
"What about her?"
"She was there. She carried a bag full money." I lick my lips as I lock eyes with the detective.
The brunette smiles and walks back around to sit in front of me. She pushes her legal pad and pen in my direction. "Write." She commands. "Tell me everything that you know."
Maybe in a different world, under different circumstance, I could have convinced myself to forget you. But as I write your name, Piper Elizabeth Chapman, in perfect cursive, I think, fuck it, and fuck you.
You don't deserve to be protected. You don't deserve to walk away unscathed. You broke my fucking heart. You destroyed me, and I want you to feel the way I felt that night when you left. I want to ruin you, Piper. The same way that you ruined me.
