Divas Prison Ch50

Becky was the first one to wake up the next morning. She had to move her head to deal with a face full of hair, but did so gently as it was clear that Paige was still asleep. That fact alone was a relief after the lack of sleep she'd dealt with. Her arms were still wrapped around Paige, and after the last few days, she had no desire to change that. Lights coming on, and the doors unlocking for the day also did nothing to Paige's slumber so Becky didn't move either. The partial lockdown that had been in place since the jailbreak had been lifted while they were in solitary. Becky was as pleased as anyone about it but it hadn't mattered much since Paige came back from The Lock.

Becky kept all her attention on her sleeping girlfriend, relieved that she could still call her that after she seemed to reconnect with her the previous night. It was only a little while later that Paige started to squirm in her arms. She was still asleep, but was trying to thrash about. Becky kept her grip, but loosened it to try and avoid causing any hurt. Paige tried to toss and turn before suddenly calling out as she tried to sit up. "Becky, no!"

Instinctively, Becky held Paige tight again and stroked her arm. "Ssshhh. It's alright. It's ok baby, I'm here. Just a bad dream." She rocked Paige gently to try and calm her, but without much success as her grip was broken and Paige turned herself over. She looked Becky in the face and immediately stopped. The look on her face was one of disbelief and confusion. She stared into Becky's eyes as Becky put a hand back on her arm, continuing the slow stroking to try and reassure her. Paige's face crumbled into sobs and she grabbed Becky as tight as she could manage, burying her face into her shoulder.

Becky held her back and cradled her head as Paige cried for a while, before finally being able to get some words out.

"Becky, please don't go, don't leave me. I'm sorry." Paige's grip around Becky's neck got even tighter as Becky realised she was reliving her dreams, or her belief that she had been dumped.

"Paige, it's ok, it's all ok. I'm not leaving you. I'm never leaving you. It was all a bad dream baby, I promise." Slowly Paige was convinced to loosen her grip, Becky was glad she didn't have to ask her to as she was struggling for breath. Paige moved back so she could see Becky's face again. This time she didn't look as distraught, but still scared. "You won't?"

"Of course not. I never did. Paige, I love you." Becky tried to say those words with as much conviction as she could, not wanting to leave any doubt in the mind of her girlfriend.

Paige had stopped her sobs, but tears still rolled down her cheeks as she tried to breath easier and closed her eyes for a moment before resettling her gaze on Becky. She leaned in, looking to kiss her, but stopped short, pulling back a little. "Really?" She asked.

"Really." Becky closed the rest of the distance between them and the two shared a kiss for the first time in many weeks. Both felt a weight lift off their shoulders. It was only a short kiss, but full of the emotions that both needed to show in that moment.

"I love you." Paige whispered as the kiss ended.

"I love you too. I'm never letting you go. No matter what." Becky pulled Paige into her body, finding a more comfortable position for both. Becky looked into space for a while, sneaking looks to see that Paige was ok as she rested.

They laid that way for a while, losing most of the day, but neither cared, or was bothered by missing meals. They didn't need food at that moment, they just needed each other.

Paige got more sleep over the day, Becky was the most comfortable pillow she had ever known. But thoughts were still dominating her mind until she had to say something. "Becky?"

Something about her tone made Becky panic. "Yes honey?"

"Becky...what's happening to me?" Paige asked like a child who had a head cold. Becky felt her heart break as she heard the confusion and fear again. She cradled her and gently kissed her forehead. "You had a bad experience when you were in solitary. We think you didn't sleep. You certainly didn't since you came back here. Not till last night. Being in my arms seemed to help." Paige looked sheepish but accepted the kiss Becky gave her. "But you don't need to worry ok. I'm going to help you feel better, and you will be all right, no matter how long it takes."

"I'm going to be ok? Becky, I don't feel good."

"Of course you are." Becky checked Paige's forehead. "You're a little warm, but that's probably all part of it. You just need to rest. Try and go back to sleep." Becky thought to let her sleep alone, but the grip Paige had on her shirt was never going to make that possible. She got comfortable herself, knowing that she wasn't going to be able to move without disturbing Paige, who was already falling asleep. Becky was going to do the same, but was alerted by a voice from the door.

"Awww." Becky looked up and saw Natalya and Emma holding Summers mouth shut. Becky smirked, realising who must have made the noise. She waved at them. Emma held her other hand out in apology as they left her alone. Summer was lucky lockup for the night followed soon after. She only had to deal with Charlotte telling her off for nearly waking Paige instead of all of them.

"I'm so relieved, I'm glad they're ok." Emma said to Natalya as they got into bed and the lights went off.

"Never in doubt was it?" Natalya stated. "There hasn't been a question about Becky being the only one to help her, I shouldn't have kept her away. Those two have been perfect for each other since before they realised their feelings. Well, there is one question maybe."

"Really? I agree with all that, so what is it?"

Natalya couldn't help laughing as she spoke. "Do you think we will get picked to be bridesmaids?"

Emma joined in the laughter. "Can you imagine what they'd pick out for us to wear if they do?" The two continued their joking into the night.


It was late the next day when Paige felt like she was ready to step out of the cell. Becky was concerned, but Paige was quick to try and put her mind at ease by saying "Bex, I'm starving hungry. If we don't get some food soon, I either will be forced to steal your candy, or not have the energy to kiss you." Both showed how she was getting back to her old self, at least around her, and she didn't like either of the other options.

"Ok, but just prove to me you still have the energy now." Becky said with a smirk. Paige stepped into her embrace and they kissed lovingly for a little while.

"Paige, it's great to see you looking better. Are you feeling better?" Summer asked as soon as Paige and Becky sat down at the table, sharing the seat as always.

"I'm fine, never better." Paige looked at the faces staring back, including Becky's, and knew she wasn't fooling anybody. "Ok, I'm not. But I will be, she promised." Paige lent her head on Becky's shoulder.

"Yeah you will. We all are here if you need it." Natalya said to nods.

"Thanks. Did any of you have these, I don't know what to call them, nightmares?"

"I did." Natalya answered. I got sent over early in my sentence. My anger was at its highest, apart from when I saw the twins here. All my thoughts were about my revenge, and I thought I had a fight with them once."

"How did you get over it?"

"Taking advantage of what we have an abundance of. Time. Doing what you're already doing, resting. Although I didn't have the nursemaid you do."

"Nattie, you make it sound like a chore. I'd always take care of her. And she's not that bad a patient, not for me anyway." Becky said.

"What's she like then?" Summer had to ask.

Paige closed her eyes tight, knowing it was embarrassing for her Becky noticed. "It's ok, it's sweet, she gets a little whiny sure, but mostly she gets super cuddly and affectionate. No, not in that way, just very friendly. I love it." The kiss Paige received on the forehead helped her open her eyes, and as soon as she did she saw Emma approaching at speed. She was barely able to stop in time and Paige saw her come straight for her, only just giving her time to stand up and be hugged tight.

"I'm sorry Paige. It's all my fault." Emma said.

"No it isn't, don't listen to her Paige." Natalya said, very sternly. "She won't forgive herself."

"For what? Emma, what's wrong?" Paige asked.

"I'm the one who reported the knife missing from the kitchen. It's part of the job to count in all the equipment. I never thought that it would turn up with you. I should have stayed quiet."

"Emma, it's not your fault. Neither of us know how that knife got into our cell. I wish I'd never gone to The Lock over it, and it killed me to see what happened to Paige, but I don't blame you at all. Neither does Paige." Paige shook her head at Becky's words, and the two of them hugged Emma from opposite sides.

"Ok girls, ok. I get it, but I am really sorry that it happened to you." Emma did her best to get them to let her loose.

"It's fine, that job means a lot to you, so why wouldn't you do as you're supposed to." Becky said as they all sat down. Emma and Becky moved to the next table, but faced the rest as they tried to spread the conversation over the two tables.

What is a good point, is that the knife still went missing from food service, and ended up in your cell without you knowing, but with enough time for it to be found by guards. It's a bit convenient isn't it?" Charlotte asked the question they all had considered since it happened.

"Yeah, and there was no shakedown, the first I knew about it was when they had me in cuffs over a table." Becky said in annoyance.

"So we got set up?" Paige asked.

"No doubt about it, it's just too convenient. It got reported, they went straight to the right cell in dozens and found it without much of a search. There is no other explanation that makes sense." Natalya said, very sure of her words.

"But who? None of us of course, but who else."

"Emma, who was on duty with you that day, I mean them. Who did you report the missing knife to?"

"Oh god, it was a while ago now, um, I think it was..." Emma looked around at who was there at that moment. "Oh him, what's him name, Owens. Oh, and her too."

"Her? Lana. It has to be her. She loved seeing me helpless before her. She's got something against me. Why can't she leave me alone? I hate her. I really hate her." Paige was getting worked up very quickly.

"It's alright Pai, please calm down before you make yourself ill again." Becky took Paige's hand, seeing she was struggling in that moment.

"She was going to kiss you Becky. You must know how much that hurt me. You couldn't have stopped her."

"But she didn't, yes she got the reaction she wanted, but I'd have done the same if she dared go near you. She loves treating us like dirt. One day we'll all find a way to get one over on her. Just look forward to that. She's not even half the woman any of us are."

"No she isn't, she's evil. I hate her." Paige still sounded down, so Becky squeezed her hand again. "Thanks."

"Anytime babe."

"Awww, it's such a sweet moment. I can really feel the love. Doesn't it make you want to, I don't know, vomit everywhere in disgust?" The voice came fro. Off to the side, where nobody was paying attention, as Mickie James and Victoria came walking up to the table.

"Get the hell out of here, both of you. I'd tell you to go where you're wanted, but I don't know if such a dank pit exists anywhere on the planet." Natalya stood up from the table. She started to walk around to Mickie, but Victoria did her job and got in between.

"Don't take another step. I don't care who you are. One word from Mickie or anything I don't like and I'll turn your skull into a jigsaw." Victoria said like it was part of her day, which sometimes it was.

"Don't Nattie, it's not worth it, you know none of us are a match for her." Charlotte said as she stood behind Natalya, despite a look on her face suggesting she'd love to try as well.

"Yeah we are, but I'm not getting in trouble for such a stupid reason." Natalya walked back to her seat. But Mickie wasn't done, even if others were.

"Well well, you are smarter than I ever give you credit for. Shame that kind of thinking doesn't spread amongst all of you. It stops me having to make my point in other ways."

"We don't want anything to do with you, leave us alone, and we will...wait, what do you mean 'make your point in other ways'?" Natalya read between the lines of what Mickie was saying.

"I think you know, but for the benefit of those with smaller minds, I don't tolerate defiance. Sometimes people have to be taught a lesson, and sometimes letting Vic loose isn't the way. As you say, it can cause trouble, something else I can't have. So why not let our hosts, as much as I despise them, work for me and show I don't need violence to take you out. From what I've seen, it worked better than I could ever have hoped for. I don't think she'll want to get in my way again."

They all had realised what she was saying, but Becky couldn't keep herself calm. "You planted that knife. You got us weeks in solitary."

Mickie had a sadistic smile on her face. "I never said that."

"You messed with her head, she's really suffered, and all for no reason?"

"If she can't handle a little isolation, how has she survived prison at all? You can't blame any of this on me, just because the guards are easily led."

"You bitch. You nearly took her from me. I'm going to put you through the this table!" Nobody could stop Becky as she went for Mickie with all the rage she had. But she wasn't fast enough. Victoria got in the way again and was able to knock Becky back with her whole body weight. She the got the upper hand, showing her strength by getting her arms around Becky and holding her tight, before throwing her hard to the concrete floor.

Paige was never going to accept that and she went for Victoria too, but she was in no position for a fight. She was still weak from her limited sleep and had no speed or strength. Victoria got her by the collar as Paige swung her hardest. Hard enough that it would have done damage, but Victoria's was able to avoid or deflect her attempts with ease.

Victoria looked to Mickie, who checked around. "They're not interested, put her down, she clearly needs extra lessons, but be quick, there's no time."

Victoria understood her instruction, but felt her grip get broken. She looked back to find she was now the one being blocked. Ronda had gotten in her way and stood right in her face.

"Not again." Ronda said firmly.

"This is nothing to do with you Rousey." Mickie said. "I've no problem with you, just walk away.

"You threaten my friend, you make it my business. This is one time too many. You think you can deal with me too? Go ahead. But you know that it isn't going to end well for you."

"My Vic isn't just anyone you know. She'll take your best shots and smile." Victoria didn't look as certain, despite trying not to show it.

At that moment, the buzzer sounded to signal it was time for end of day lockup. Ronda spotted the sigh of relief from Victoria and laughed.

"You better keep away from my friend, and out of my way. The next time I see you, I'll end you."

Mickie tried to put on a front again. "Can you back that up? You know I none of us can stay out of sight, it's not a big enough area."

"Oh dear. I guess that means you have a very big problem. See you tomorrow." Mickie was pulled away by Victoria as guards took a bigger interest in breaking up the gathering.

"Ronda." Paige called before she left too. "Thanks. You didn't have to."

"It's about time I did some good. I think we all need her sorted out."

"You have no idea." Becky said, approaching Ronda. "We will explain tomorrow, but thanks for helping her."

"You're Becky right?" Ronda asked, surprising the Irish girl. "Um, yeah."

Paige smiled. "Oh yeah, I never got as far as the introduction. Bet, you may have figured this, but Ronda's all right, she's one of us, and could use our help. All our help"

"Really what with?"

"All of you, you heard the buzzer, get to your cells, or you know where you'll end up!" Guard Owens wasn't interested in letting them talk.

"Guess we will have to go into it tomorrow. But I promise you, I'm going to sort this problem out, she's not getting away with it." Ronda asked as she headed on the opposite direction. Soon the cell doors finished banging and the block fell into near silence, but not everyone was going to get any sleep.
