The Next Two Stories Are Flashback Stories.
I read the reviews and had some thinking done and noticed i should have gone over more about what happened while Piper was in SHU so this one will be about her in SHU and the next chapter will be about Alex's 'flashback' while Piper was in SHU. These won't be long or week by week or play by play and i apologize, i honestly don't have much on SHU and going into details about trials is extremely difficult. Bare with me, things will get way better I promise.
PIPER'S POV;
Her body twisted on the harshly cold bed, she groaned in pain as her abdomen flared in pain. A single tear rolled down her cheek, it had only been two week since getting out of the hospital, the wound on her abdomen was still healing and it felt to Piper as if it'd never fully heal. Her breath hitched as she slid her feet over the edge of the bed, her body hunched over as her arms wrapped weakly and securely around her body, the rough bandage on her right hand caught against her uniform an annoying grimace passed her throat. Loud screams echoed her head, she felt her body lip tremble as she attempted to block out the noises. "Focus on Polly, Finn, Mom, Dad anyone." she whispered to herself as she attempted to curl her body into a shell. The pain ripped through her body causing her to jolt up into a sitting position.
Piper was caught off guard at the sound of the door being slammed open, her neck craned as she looked at the door, Caputo and Figueroa stood, she felt a rush of coldness through her body as she slowly stood up, her good hand cupped at the wound that rested right above her left hipbone. A breath caught in her throat as they began to speak, "Your court case was moved to today, Dodgett is ready to get it over with." Piper's face flushed to a ghostly white as she inhaled sharply. "Okay." she spoke in a shaky tone. "Look, Chapman you need to get together or you'll be torn apart in there." Figueroa warned, why was she actually being nice? Piper nodded cheaply as she walked with them through the echoing halls of SHU. She kept her head down as she followed behind Figueroa with Caputo on her heels. She fought to ignore the loud banging on the doors or the screams that filled the air. As they finally exited the building a gust of fresh air hit Piper and she inhaled deeply, the sun was bright causing her eyes to narrow. Caputo's hand formed around her arm guiding her through the brightness of the day.
END OF TRIAL;
Piper sat with her hand cupping her body and her head narrowed at the judge who sat firm behind his desk, she could feel Pennsatucky's glare every few seconds. Piper didn't dare to look back afraid of what her outburst had done to the woman who sat next to her. "With no visual aid or witnesses we cannot force anyone to max however, Dodgett you'll be spending two months in Max and then you'll go back to main. Chapman you'll be spending three months in SHU.." Piper head the other girl attempt to object but was shortly cut off. "If you speak I'll keep you in Max until I say you come out." there was a silence over the room for a brief moment. "Chapman you will spend your time healing and thinking about what the hell you did to Dodgett's face. Dodgett you will be inclined to medication and treatment." Piper thought to herself how good that sounded, maybe the chick wound't be psycho anymore. "As for you Healy," Piper's head snapped up at the name only to look at the newest addition to the room. "You will be on an overly long hiatus ." he stung, Healy wanted to protest but just left without another word. Piper's inner body sang with joy.
MONTH AND A HALF LATER;
The noises were no longer there. Piper learned to block everything out, the screams, the tormenting sounds, the thuds, the only thing she listened to was that familiar yet distant raspy voice that echo from the vent on her wall. Each day she had a routine, wake up, work out the best of her ability until she could handle the pain in her abdomen, not so much eat, if she did eat then vomit from the horrid food they served, talk to her neighbor or voice she continued to hear then sleep. It had become her life really. The days turned into nights, her nights turned into days, her days weren't nights and nights weren't days. SHU conflicted her mind and she felt like she was losing all of her sanity but she was doing everything she could just to pull through.
She sat with her back against the cold hard wall near the vent, she huffed deeply after throwing up what she didn't have in her stomach. "Just don't think about the things inside the food, picture it as something from home." she heard the raspy voice that had been attempting to help her through her days and meals. "Thanks but that doesn't really help it still tastes like hell." she said and a small chuckle ripped into the vent causing her to weakly smile. Piper pulled her shirt up slowly to look down at the now healed wound, it was still tender and puffy but was closed together. The scar was never going to heal. It wasn't huge but the size was still unbearably noticeable. She had grown self conscious. Her ribs were slightly shown as her hipbones prodded at her skin. barely. Her cheeks were almost hallow and her skin lacked it's familiar shine. She was no longer feeling human more so an alien these days. Who knew what she was going to feel or even look like when her time was up.
TWO MONTHS AND A HALF LATER;
Piper hand no longer needed it's wrap, the mark still screamed at her every time she looked at her wrist though. White, shiny and bold, it always took her back to the night that her and Pennsatucky nearly killed each other. Lack of full sleep now sheltered her body, nightmares had consumed her nights leaving her to be awoken by her own screams and cries. She was one of the others now, she was one causing the loud echos throughout SHU. She slept for hours but was awaken by the dreams, she couldnt' stay awake to fight the dreams off.
Piper forced her body to bend in half as she filled her crunch on the floor, "48." she grumbled through heavy breathes. Her body relaxed back against the floor before she folded her body once more into a crunch "49." she said breathlessly as she felt her body tent with sweat and she felt shots of pain through her body. After 50 not so good push ups and sit ups the crunches wanted to kill her. "50" she whimpered out as she fell against the hard floor, her arms rested atop of her body. "Meal, Chapman." the disgusting and hard voice said as he opened the long skinny frame on the door.
Obviously she hadn't moved quick enough because before she could get up the food was slung to the floor and tossed thought her bunk. Piper wanted to hell and scream at the man but she knew it'd just give her more time in the area and she wanted the opposite of that. She lost count of time and didn't know how much longer she had but she knew it was coming and to risk all she'd been through was stupid and she knew it.
Piper scoffed as she picked up the terrible food that scattered through the room. She tossed it in the toilet and flushed it, she didn't exactly care if the system backed up anymore, she wasn't going to eat the food and if she didn't and it was still on her tray when the ran back to get everything they'd force it down her throat. The voice continued to tell her to flush it and after three weeks she'd follow the order and learned it was simply gone after a few moments. She had finally lost sanity. She was talking to a faceless voice and was holding conversations back and forth with the empty room.
"It's been awhile since we talked about when you'll get out." it's raspy nice almost sounded soft and cautious. Piper leaned her head against the wall as she felt her body relax. "I'm not getting back with Larry, in fact I've decided to take him off my list and phone list." she spoke tenderly. "I'll leave Alex to peace just like she wants." she no longer had tears in her sockets but she swore she could feel her eyes glisten with water she forced her eyes closed as she sucked in a deep breath. "So you'll do all of your time alone?" it was almost worried now, scared and fear for the girl. She shrugged despite the fact this person or voice couldn't see. "I'll have my Ghetto family...-" she wanted to laugh but couldn't, she just simply let a small shaped smile through her lips. Her own voice was unrecognizable, it was taunt and scratchy. "I'll have Polly and mom and dad and Cal." she said tenderly as she exhaled her last bit a breath before slumping down.
Piper hadn't given it much though really. The fact she wasn't going to have Larry or Alex frightened her to know ends but she couldn't go back to Larry, she no longer loved him, maybe she loved him but she wasn't in love with him anymore and Alex, the girl broke her, the girl left her to shame, despite the fact the girl was the love of Piper's life she knew she needed to shine away and just be herself and give the girl what she wanted and that was no more Piper.
"Well good for you then." the voice was back to it's normally raspyiness. "I'm going to get some sleep, goodnight." that was the conversation. Piper new not to speak back once they said goodbye because she'd never get an answer, she'd be literally talking to herself and she needed the last bit of sanity she had to stay. Piper dragged her body to the pathetic excuse of a bed and fell back against the harsh mattress and pillow. Piper curled on her side as she wrapped her arms around her hallow skeleton body. She ghosted her fingers along her ribs that fixed right beneath her uniform. The bags under her eyes grew heavier causing her to crash her eyelids together in tight form. She knew once she looked into a mirror she'd not recognize herself, she would avoid that at all cause.
Like I said bare with me. I'm so sorry but once I get back to the reality timeline it'll be back to more depth and way better, pinky promise. Alex's POV flashback will be up soon.
