Alex Vause
The doors of the chapel burst open as Pennsatucky's obnoxious voice echoes.
"Shit!" Alex mumbled, chucking Piper her clothes as she slid into her own.
"Dumb bitch and her sasquatch girlfriend are gonna get it." Pennsatucky shouted, despite the face that she was alone in the chapel. Alex scooted back underneath the stand, grasping Piper's arm, tugging her along with her, pulling Piper's body again hers.
"What the fuck is she doing in here!? There's no service today!" Piper exclaimed silently. Alex shrugged a smirk crossing her face as she leaned in to kiss Piper.
"Are you lesbian bitches done here?" Pennsatucky snarled, glaring down at the two.
"Does it look like it bitch?" Alex retorted, her eyes meeting Pennsatucky's. Pennsatucky's face went red with fury, making Alex smile.
"Fuck both of y'all. I'm sure Healy would love to know what you two bitches have been doing in our holy chapel." Pennsatucky spat. Alex and Piper jumped to their feet but Piper stepped forward first.
"I fucking dare you. You step one foot into Healy's office with that intent and I swear I will make you pathetic excuse of a life here a living hell." Piper stated, shoving Pennsatucky back.
Piper Chapman
Piper felt the anger she had been withholding since Christmas boil over as she shoved Pennsatucky back. She briefly felt Alex wrap her arm around her waist, but settled immediately. Pennsatucky turned away with a 'fuck you' and stormed out.
"Holy shit, what the fuck was that Pipes? That was awesome!" Alex exclaimed. Piper let a small smile fall across her face briefly before dropping her eyes to the ground. Alex moved towards her, pressing her fingers against her chin making Piper meet her eyes.
"She tried to kill me. You know Mr. Healy let her?" Piper stuttered. Alex pulled her in running her hands through Piper's hair.
"I know." Alex murmured.
"I thought I was going to lose you… I thought you were going to die." Piper whimpered, tears spilling from the corner of her eyes.
"I'm right here babe." She whispered, kissing Piper's head gently.
Piper held Alex close, breathing her in. She still had nightmares, nightmares that had started when Alex had told her about her being unprotected, but she hid them.
Piper's mind bounced between memories, catching on one in particular. Christmas. Alex had followed the others out, her eyes locking on Piper. Piper remembered Alex trying to keep her conscious. Alex asked her not to leave her again, told her she needed her that she loved her.
"Alex," Piper started, pulling away slightly as she dried her eyes "I am so sorry. For everything… for leaving you… for your mom… for being an ass…" Piper stammered, half wanting, aching to tell her it was her who got her back in, but deciding against it.
"It's okay." Alex said, touching her lips to Piper's. "Come on, let's go." Alex continued, her fingers lacing through Piper's as she walked out the exit.
