_ P.O.V
I couldn't believe it. Two years seemed like two hundred years. My best friend and past boyfriend Fabian was here.
"Oh, Nines." He tried to hug me, but my guard would let him. She sat me down in the chair and Fabian sat in his.
"You have 15 minutes." The guard said to me before leaving, slamming the door shut.
Fabian looked at me. "So…"
Behind me, I heard banging on the glass. I turned around to see my other best friend Amber waving at me. She ran into the room and sat down in the empty chair next to Fabian.
"I can't believe we found you!" Amber exclaimed.
"How did you guys find me? I thought you were supposed to be back at the house." I asked.
"Well, Amber got her fashion scholarship here and told me to come back with her when she came back to the house after her break." Fabian explained.
"Than we were driving around the city when we ran into the nicest old man." Amber said. "He told us about how your Gran died."
"Amber!" Fabian said.
"Oh, sorry Nines." Amber said.
"Its ok. That was a year ago. I'm not upset about it anymore." I said, faking a smile for their reassurance.
"Ok. Than the man led us here." Amber finished.
"Sounds like fun." I said.
"Now back to the elephant in the room," Fabian took my hands. "How the hell did you end up here?"
"Can the elephant be pink and sparkly?" Amber said.
"Sure." Fabian smiled at her, then turned back to me.
I took a deep breath and explained everything. Gran's will, me being forgotten, me living on the streets, me being a dealer, everything.
"…Than one day, a cop came to me in disguise and caught me. Now, I'm sentenced in this hellhole for who knows how long." I finished.
Both of them stared at me for a minute, processing everything I just told them.
"You sold drugs?" Amber said. Fabian gave her a look, than she apologized.
"Its ok. Its something I did and now I'm paying the price."
"But why?"
"I had to survive somehow."
"What about homeless shelters?"
"They wouldn't let me in."
"Why? Its their job to help people."
"Well, apparently to them I'm not people they help."
"That sucks."
"You're telling me."
Fabian signed. "There must be some way we can get you out, how much is your bail?"
"I'm not sure, but I think its over $10,000."
"Where are we going to get that type of money?"
"There's one way."
They both looked at me like I was crazy. I leaned closer to them and whispered my idea. They both gasped and Amber shook her head.
"I know, I know, but it's our only option." I said.
Fabian was completely still for a minute, as if he was figuring every possible thing that go wrong.
"We can at least try." He finally said to Amber. She resented for a minute, than agreed.
"Thank you guys."
The door opened behind me and the guards head came into view.
"Times up, Martian."
I nodded and said goodbye to Amber and Fabian.
"So, we'll see you later?" Fabian said.
"Alright."
He smiled before he left the room.
"Who were they to you?" The guard asked me before she led me out of the room.
"Just people." I said quickly.
"That's what they all say."
