One of the days in her cell while being lost in thought Jen's name was called out. She had a visitor. The brunette hoped it wouldn't be her lawyer again but her brother. When she walked into the room Jen immediate spotted the visitor waiting for her, she couldn't believe her eyes. Was this even allowed? It was Tilly.
The redhead was there because she had been thinking about it all too, like a lot, really a lot. Their last words had been an apology but for what exactly. Tilly felt an urge to talk with her ex-girlfriend one more time, she needed it so she could understand and go on with her life.
Jen walked over to the table Tilly was sitting at and took place on the seat opposite of her former girlfriend. Neither of them did know what to say. In their head they were talking to each other about a bunch of stuff but neither of them were able to say those words out loud. The brunette really wanted to say something, to be the first one to talk, to apologize and thank the girl for coming, to ask her why she was here but it was a hard thing to do.
'Are you okay?' Were the first words that got spoken by Tilly, after a long period of silence.
'Erm, .. yeah, .. erm' The brunette did her best to answer but stumbled over her words so she took a deep breath to compose herself.
'Tilly, you sho…' spoke Jen hesitating… 'I… I really am so sorry' continued the brunette once she had faced down to the table.
'I know Jen, I'm sorry too' replied the redhead calm
At the beginning of the conversation Jen didn't really know how the react. So Tilly started it up, the more time they spend and talk, the smoother the conversation went. It had been Tilly who had done most of the talking and Jen had just listened to her. To how she was feeling, she explained that it the whole situation was just so complex and that it wasn't just Jen's fault. How it was never her attention to let Jen end up in prison. By the end, Tilly promised to come back. The things Tilly had asked and how Jen had replied on those questions were quite fussy and tilly wanted to know more but visiting time was over so no more talk for today.
'Thank you so much for coming Tilly! I really … thank you!' said Jen before Tilly stood up to go back home
'It's okay, I promises I'll come back okay' Replied Tilly friendly
Jen nodded and got guided away back to her cell while Tilly walked outside and went back home.
JEN
The brunette was happy with Tilly's visit, she never expected that to happen. The things her ex-girlfriend had said, made her feel better but she still was filled with the feeling of guilt. After a while alone, loneliness soon took back over but the redhead's visit had given Jen the feeling she wasn't alone. She went back to her book, were she wrote things down. It was already quite filled. Most of the memories she had written down were the once Jen thought she had failed. Now after Tilly's visit she found herself writing down some good memory, the best memory which was also the start for the trouble she was in now. Jen wrote down the memory of meeting Tilly and taking her to the beach.
TILLY
The redhead felt worse after her visit to her ex-girlfriend. She looked miserable, she had told she was okay but she sure didn't look okay. How could she, being locked up in a tiny room not knowing what is going to happen and having all the time to think out possible scenario's. She promised to go back and she was defiantly going to, maybe tomorrow already. Jen didn't say much, how could she even, when Tilly had been doing most of the talking. Did anyone else visit her or didn't want anyone anything to do with her now she was locked up. Why would everyone even judge Jen, they don't know the whole story and besides they don't have anything to do with it!
Tilly came back the next day.
When Jen came to join Tilly at the table the redhead greeted her with a simple 'Hey'
'Hey, thanks for coming. I really appreciate it.' Honestly spoke Jen
'It's no problem. How are you today?' asked Tilly cause Jen didn't really look that good.
The brunette didn't felt good, last night she hadn't slept well but she didn't wanted to say all that to Tilly so she just answered 'Fine, thank you. How about you?'
'I'm good.' said the redhead to answer Jen's question and she smiled weak.
'Good, I'm glad to hear that! Tilly, I've been thinking and well it may sound a bit weird and I don't know if it will work but maybe if you want to I can call the collage and tell them to let you back in… .'
Tilly didn't really know what to say. Jen calling college to let her back in!? How brave of her to suggest such a thing. But she was already back in, well in a few days. So Jen didn't have to make any awkward calls. Could she tell her that, the fact she was already allowed to go back, that esther already put in a word for her…?
Jen saw the worried, doubting, uncomfortable expression in tilly's face. 'I mean you don't have to, .. I just thought you felt good at that collages and that's imported to feel good at school … but if … I'm sorry it's a stupid idea anyway…. I'm sorry' Blabbed the former teacher out really fast, in one breath.
'No, don't be … I'm mean you don't have to be sorry… what I'm trying to say is that I'm … well with everything that's been going on I'l sort of allowed to go back already so… .'
'Oh, well, that's great isn't!?'
'Yeah well' answered the redhead and smiled weak.
'I'm happy for you! You deserve to have your place back at collage and I'm so sorry for … taking it away… I've never meant to, I've never thought Keeler would have but .. well I'm sorry' Explained getting worked up, emotional.
The teenager saw how jen was getting back to torturing herself with feelings of guilt and only could think of how she must feel like when she back in her little room behind bars.
'Jen, … it's okay, it was all just so messed up…' tilly said in an attempt to make Jen feel less guilty
'It isn't, why don't you see, it's all my fault. I'm the one who messed it all up Tilly. I've been writi… All I've ever done is … I'm such a fai… They were r… it's all my fault.' Spoke jen emotional, wanting to tell that's she has been writing everything down and that in the past she hadn't done anything right, that she feels like a failure but she couldn't say it out loud, she couldn't say it to tilly. Jen didn't want to act like, ... pathetic cause she thought she didn't deserve to take the role as being the one who's hurt. According to herself this was all her fault.
Even though Jen hadn't the intention to make Tilly feel sorry for her, the redhead did. The more she saw Jen, talked to her the more she found out more when paying attention to the details. Tilly felt like there was something, something Jen was hiding. However the brunette didn't really give much away, she kept it for herself. The teen knew there was something and that something might be the answer to her questions, to help her understand. Tilly was determined to find out what it was and decided it was time to go to the only one who could help her. Liam.
