''I know my track record is shit, but I really do love you''
''Well, I hate you''
'' No you don't''
''No I don't''
The conversation between her and Alex she couldn't forget even if she wanted to. She kept hearing Alex voice, her sad face and her words '' I really do love you''. The voice of the woman she always loved. When they saw each other again in prison for the first time, Piper tried to ignore her but just couldn't. Of course her ex-fiancé was sweet and good to her, but there was always something missing. Something that she always had with the only woman she ever loved.
''Waves'' Alex yelled in the car.
''What do you mean by ''waves''? Piper asked
Well Pipes, it's a song, it reminds me of us ..
Really, well let me hear then babe, Piper laughed.
''Okay Pipes, here we go'' Alex put the CD in the CD player. A slow song began to play.
My face above the water
My feet can't touch the ground,
Touch the ground, and it feels like
I can see the sands on the horizon
Everytime you are not around
I'm slowly drifting away (drifting away)
Wave after wave, wave after wave
I'm slowly drifting (drifting away)
And it feels like I'm drowning
Pulling against the stream
Pulling against the streamI wish I could make it easy
Easy to love me, love me
But still I reach, to find a way
I'm stuck here in between
I'm looking for the right words to say
There was a total silence in the car until the song ended.
''Wow, Al, .. that was a really beautiful song.
''Well babe, I need to tell you something'' Alex said soft.
''You can tell me anything, you know that, Al''.
''Yeah, that's what is so great about you, you know.. I don't know the rules ..''
''What rules?'' Piper askes surprised.
''Well.. I made a mistake Pipes. You know that I went to the bar yesterday after our fight, right''?
''No I didn't know that, but what are you trying to tell me, Al''?
''Pipes..''
Suddenly tears rolled over Alex her face.
''I …I'' Alex stuttered.
''I fucked someone else..'' Alex cried.
Pipers face turned pal, she couldn't believe the words she just heared from her girlfriend. She cheated on her. She didn't know what to say to Alex.
''STOP THE CAR!'' Piper screamed.
Alex stopped the car to the side of the road. Piper opened the door and ran out of the car. She didn't know what to do. She sat down on the grass near the road. The tears rolled over her face. She felt like the world came crashing down on her.
Alex got out of the car to and walked towards Piper. Trying to explain everything.
''Pipes..please let me explain'' Alex said.
Piper ignored her. And held her hands before her ears, so she couldn't hear what Alex was trying to say to her.
''Pipes.. I thought we were over, so I got drunk and I ran into Sylvie. We started talking and then Sylvie take me home with her. I didn't plan this. It just happened because I was trying to forget our fight. I'm really sorry about all of it'' Alex said softly.
Alex grabbed Piper her hands trying to get her attention.
''Don't you dare touch me'' Pipper yelled.
''Pipes, look at me, I'm not proud of myself, but you deserved to know the truth'', Alex said.
''I can't do this anymore, I'm sorry, Al''.
Piper got up and walked towards the car. Alex followed Piper and tried to talk to her. But Piper didn't want to hear it.
''Where to, Pipes''?
''Just drop me off'' Piper said sounding hurt and angry.
When they arrived at Pipers house. Piper turned to Alex. ''Al, I can't be your girlfriend anymore, I can't take anymore of this, we're over''.
She placed her hand on Alex her face, and pulled her in for one last kiss. Their lips touched softly and gently. Until Piper pulled away.
''Pipes.. please don't go'' Alex begged.
Piper turned around and got out of the car and disappeared into the night.
''Piper, wake up, you were screaming in your sleep dear''.
''I'm sorry, Red'' Piper said.
''No worries child, I know how difficult everything is for you at the moment'' Red said.
''Piper got up, and hugged Red''.
''Thank you, because of you I don't feel so alone anymore, you're like a mother to me'' Piper said softly.
Red knew how much Piper got hurt by Vause. She knew that Piper didn't have anyone left. So she tried to help Piper dealing with everything.
''What were you dreaming about child''? Red asked.
''Ah, nothing really, just a bad dream..'' Piper said, not wanting to tell that she dreamt about her ex-girlfriend.
''Okay, well you better get cleaned up, it's almost breakfast time'' Red said.
Piper nodded. Got up, and walked out of the bunks. Slowly walking towards the E-Block showers.
