It had been 2 days since she spoke to Alex or Larry and she had no idea how to handle either situation or which one she wanted to fix first. She couldn't get Alex out of her head, she couldn't get their conversation out of her head, she couldn't understand how it changed so quickly. She knew Larry couldn't contact her in here. She had to ring him to speak to him, all he could do was write to her but even that would take at least a few days to get to her, and she could just throw it away if she wanted to. She wasnt ready to speak to Larry but Alex was a different story. She wanted to talk to her but Alex somehow managed to avoid her and when they were in their cube she would just ignore Piper and pretend she wasnt there. She had heard a word from Alex since she walked out of the cube after their argument. Which drove her crazy. She hated being ignored and Alex knew that.

Piper had managed to make a few friends since she has been here and it really helped her to cope at this place. They were a good group of people and they seemed to accept her and allowed her to hang around with them. She was still a newbie but they seemed to have taken her under their wing which she appreciated. They had a prison family but she knew she wasnt included in that, she was just a pet at the moment, the new girl who had potential. It was better than being on her own in here she couldn't handle that.

Piper needed someone to speak to about her problems and she only had one person in mind so she made her way to the phones happy to find the line short so she didn't have to wait long. When the phone was available Piper picked it up and rang her best friend.

It didn't take long for her to hear Polly's voice.

"Hello is that you Piper?"

"How many people do you know in prison Polly? Of course its me"

"Oh shut up you know what I mean, how have you been? Whats happened between you and Larry?"

"Great I guess he has already told Pete then?"

"Of course he has but I want to hear what happened from you, Pete always gets the details wrong"

"Well I was honest with Larry and told him that Alex was here in prison with me and he flipped out accused me of running back to her. He doesn't trust me Pol so I told him to go fuck himself"

"What the fuck Piper? Supercunt is there with you?"

"Yes and she named me"

"Fuck"

Piper just smirked she knew Polly would be speechless.

"You better stay away from her Pipes, I mean it!"

"Erm... Pol that could be hard..." Polly cut Piper off mid sentence "No it isn't just stay away from her, how hard could it be?"

"Considering she is sharing a cube with me it could be very hard. I'm assigned as her new bunk mate"

Polly didn't say anything but Piper heard her gasp. There was a silence for several minutes before Polly broke it. "Has something happened between the two of you?"

"No why would you even think that?"

"Piper?"

"Okay we had a very serious conversation about when I left her and she basically told me to get my head out of my ass and that it's not always about me. Now she isn't talking to me and its all I can think about."

"What about Larry?" Polly asked

"What about him? I'm not doing anything wrong, it's not like im cheating on him or anything like that"

"I actually meant what about Larry as in are you thinking about him and sorting things out?"

"Oh yeah course I am but it can wait a few days so he knows how pissed I am at him"

"Hmm its funny how you jumped to the conclusion that I was talking about you and supercunt getting closer. What exactly are you thinking about Piper?"

"Nothing Pol just that she wont talk to me, that's all, nothing else"

"I don't believe you, don't forget what she did to you Pipes, how you spent months in my guest room eating ice cream and not even getting out of bed because of her. Dont forget she is the reason you're in here and don't forget that you've got Larry now. Dont fuck that up. He treats you well"

"I know that I never said I was going to jump back into her arms I just want her to talk to me that's all"

"Why do you even care? You got over her ages ago, you moved on, it shouldnt matter if she speaks to you or not Piper"

"Yeah well it seems she still has power over me then"

"Oh Pipes. Not again. Trust me this isn't a path you want to go down."

"I don't know Pol"

"Just remember when this blows up in your face because it will that I will be here to say I told you so"

"Yeah but you will also be there to support me no matter what choice I make like always"

"Not this time, I think I might just let you rot and cope on your own"

Piper started to laugh "Sure thing Pol, we both know that isn't true, don't we?"

"God your such a pain in my ass"

"Love you too"

"Whatever Pipes just stay out of trouble"

"Me? I'm never in trouble"

Polly started laughing "Have you forgotten where you are at the moment?"

"Okay Pol fair point"

"Your such a dumbass. I love you too. Call me soon okay?"

"Sure. Speak to you soon" Piper hung up and made her way back towards her cube hoping that Alex would be there, her phone call with Polly helped her realise that she wants Alex to talk to her. She was almost back to her bunk when someone grabbed her arm and starting dragging her in the opposite direction.

"Hey what are you doing?"

"Come on Chapman your going to want to see this!"
