Next chapter is up after a number of gruelling exams and hours of revision!

"Beauchamp, you have a visitor" called a female prison officer through the cell door. Connie arose from her bed (if you could call it a bed) and walked through the door which the officer had opened. The officer escorted Connie down the corridor slowly whilst inmates peered through the peeping holes in the door.

"Your a pretty one." One inmate said licking her lips as she passed.

"I wouldn't mind a piece of that!" Another shouted.

"You can have her after I'm done" the first one countered.

Connie consciously moved closer to the female prison guard who continued to look ahead and seemed to pay no attention to what was being said to the prisoner at her side. She must be used to it, Connie thought. Connie wasn't though. Although she had a thick skin at work this was on a totally different level. This was scary. She wasn't used to this sort of jeering. Oh god she hoped she'd be out soon.

They reached the end of the walkway and the officer guided her into a small room which had a table in the middle and a chair at each side. The guard took Connie over to one of the chair and cuffed her to it, the guard then left the room. It was a few minutes later when a someone came into the room. That someone was Charlie Fairhead, her knight in shining amour or so she thought. Connie made to stand up but let out a huff as she was stopped but by her handcuffs.

Charlie noted her appearance as he walked through the door. It was amazing the amount of weight she seemed to have lost in such a short period of time, her cheek bones seemed much more prominent and her face which was usually radiant and full of colour was now dull and had a sort of grey tint.

"How are you holding up?" Charlie asked, although he knew the answer to his own question.

"Not good." Connie answered to Charlie's surprise. He wasn't surprised that she wasn't coping but that she'd admit that she wasn't coping. She always put on a front but this time it was a though she didn't have the strength to put on a front.

"I'm sorry Connie." Charlie said shaking his head. His comments to the police interviewer had dug her into a bigger whole.

"It's not your fault Charlie. So was it her?" Connie asked her face void of expression.

"Was it who?" Charlie asked. He knew who she was talking about and what she was talking about.

"Was it Rita that set me up?"

"I don't know for definite Connie there's no proof that she did."

"We both know she took those pills from my desk. She's never liked me Charlie but this, this is just..." Connie's voice quivered towards the end and a few tears fell astray down her cheeks. "I'm going to spend the rest of my life in this place. I can't do it Charlie. The people in here... I'm scared." Charlie reached across the table and took Connie's uncuffed hand in his own.

"I'll get you out of here Connie." She looked into his eyes and saw the kindness there, hadn't seen that in while even before prison.

"Times up" said the female guard. She detached Connie from the chair and started to guide Connie out of the room.

"I promise." Charlie called after her.

Connie looked back and gave him the best smile she could muster and with that she was lead back to her detested cell.

It was the next day (day three, not that she was counting) and she'd managed to get a little more sleep than she had the previous nights. Connie heard voices outside the cell, it was time for the night shifter workers to swap with the day shift workers, which in turn meant that it was time for breakfast. She was incredibly hungry, she not eaten the first day due to the disgusting prison officer and the day after she was so depressed that the thought of food made her vomit. Her body was now telling her that she needed food, she felt weak, nauseous and faint. She heard the noise of cell doors opening and closing getting closer which meant it was soon her turn to receive her breakfast. However when her cell door opened her heart sank and her body began to quiver.

"Hello again beautiful. You hungry yet?"

I know it was short but I just wanted to get a new chapter uploaded. This is sort of a spoiler but I just want everyone to know that there is not going to be a rape scene, I just wouldn't be comfortable writing that. So there is only going to be mention of rape. Hopefully the next chapter will be up soon, I also need to know if people are actually reading this lol, so if you could drop a quick review or PM that would be great!
