Piper didn't get any sleep the next few days. The only thing on her mind was her ex-girlfriend who disappeared. It had been in the news papers: ''Former drug-dealer missing''. Everyone expected the worse because they knew how Kubra, Alex her old boss dealt with betrayal. Still Piper tried to be positive because she couldn't even imagine how she could go on without Alex. Everyone noticed how Piper had changed when she heared that Alex was gone.
''Hey Piper''.
''Hey Nicky'' Piper said.
''How you holding up Piper'' Nicky asked.
''I've been better, but I'll be fine. Thanks for being here for me Nicky. Even after everything I've done. I know you hate me and all, but still thanks'' Piper said with a smile.
''I don't hate you, Chapman. You've been a pain in the ass, and you had hurt my friend. But we were friends when you first got here and I won't forget that''.
''I'm really sorry Nicky''.
''Ah come here, Chapman'' Nicky hugged Piper.
''I have something for you, Chapman. It's an old letter from Vause.. I didn't give it to you before because I was mad at you. I'm sorry''. Nicky said.
Nicky handed the letter to Piper and left her alone so Piper could read the letter in private.
Dear Pipes,
I honestly don't know where to begin. I am really sorry for everything. I handled things the wrong way and I lost you in the process. I know I fucked you over in Chicago and that I can't make that right. I can say I was protecting you but I don't think you would believe that. They offered me a deal, if I testified against Kubra I could walk the same day. So I testified against Kubra. That was one of my biggest mistakes. Kubra walked because someone mishandled the evidence. He's after me Pipes. I am really affraid that he wants to kill me. He knows where I live. So I'm in danger.
Enough about Kubra. I just want you to know a few things. Like I said before I know that my track record is shit but I really do love you. I wish that I could take it all back but I can't. You have every right to be angry. But my feelings for you are real. I never lied about that. You probably won't believe what I'm saying. But I wish we could have had another chance in life together. I hate that things ended this way.
Do you remember, the first time we broke up. I slept with Sylvie and you left me. Ever since then I changed, and not in the good way. Losing you was the hardest thing in life you know. Before you I was always in control. I think that I never got over you, because I think that when you have a connection with someone, it never really goes away. You snap back to being important to each other because you still are. When we saw each other again in prison, I was so happy to see you. I love you, I always have and I always will. Even though I know you probably will never be able to forgive me. And we won't be able to be together again. I hope you feel the same way. Being loved by you, was the best thing that ever happened to me. Atleast I know you're safe because you're in Litchfield. I wish I was there with you because that meant that I'd be safe to. I wish the best for you in life. And remember that I will never forget you.
Love Alex,
Ps. I sended this to Nicky because I was affraid you wouldn't have opened it if I had sent it to you.
