Craig's POV
I sat on my hard bed above Lenny and I started thinking about the night before Kyle was murdered. *flashback* I was on my way to Clyde's party as happy as a clam because I'd get to stay the whole night with the love of my life. I smiled when Clyde answered the door when I had finally got there, but my smile faltered when I saw his stupid boyfriend hanging on his arm. As the party progressed I decided that I needed to tell them it was now or never.
"Can we talk?" I asked.
"Sure," He said and we went upstairs. Before either of us said anything I pushed him against the wall and started kissing him passionately.
"What the hell?" He demanded pushing me away.
"I love you," I replied.
"I don't love you, not like that I love my boyfriend," He said.
"I can love you better! I am better for you than him!" I said and I tried to kiss him again.
"I said no! I love Kyle and that's that," Clyde said angrily.
"I will fucking kill him!" I said stomping out of the room, and then next day Kyle was found murdered to death. *end flashback*
"No wonder people are blaming me," I muttered to myself.
"Just suck it up and admit to doing it kid," I heard the scratchy voice of Lenny say, I hadn't even noticed that he was still awake.
"But I didn't do it," I protested.
"Whatever kid that's what they all say," He mumbled. I flipped him off and turned over in my bed to face the wall. I hated it there, I just wanted to get out and go home and do normal things people my age were doing, not being stuffed up in a smelly jail with some smelly weirdo. Maybe Clyde will date me when I get out. I thought. No, Clyde hated me, he would never date me. I decided to just call it in for the night.

"You have a visitor!" Officer Giles snapped the next morning. I walked to the visitor's booth and was surprised to see Jess there.
"Hi," I said excitedly.
"Hi," She replied.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"I know you didn't do it," She replied.
"Finally someone believes me,"
"Yeah well I am going to try and prove your innocence and bust you out of here,"
"Thanks that means so much to me," I said smiling at her.
"Well I have to go, I'll see you later," She said turning away to walk off. I was escorted back to my cell with a big smile on my face, I would finally be proved innocent if it worked out well enough for me.
"I never get visitors," Lenny said when I got back into my cell.
"Why not?" I asked.
"Because no one seems to care about poor old Lenny enough to visit me," He said looking down.
"I'm sure someone will come visit you soon," I said.
"I've been here for six years and no one has came to visit me, not once," Lenny said sadly. I was suddenly over come with the urge to go comfort him but I decided against it, he was too smelly. I walked over to my bed and sat down on it. Jess is pretty, I thought, but she was no Clyde, no one could ever compare to him. I was surprised when I could feel tears falling from my eyes, I hadn't cried in years.
"What's wrong?" Lenny asked, he must have noticed me crying.
"Just thinking about my friends from school," I said.
"Look kid, I don't want you wasting your life away in a prison cell like I am, you deserve to live so I am going to help bust you out," Lenny said. I smiled for the second time that day. I had two people who wanted to bust me out of jail. Two people to give me a glimmer of hope.
