Chapter 5
Alex
After a week passed, I got finally got assigned to the cubes in the suburbs. When I got to my assigned cube I turned to Bennett "No fucking way" I looked at my bunkie who was Pennsatucky "Hey lurch, I missed you" I turned to Bennett "Did Healy even read my fucking file" Bennett looked lost "Look, I don't do the assigning" And he walked off or limped in his case. I stepped inside the cube Pennsatucky had cut her hair and looked stupid "Look lurch, I am not going to cause any trouble, for I am one of you now" and she pointed to her hair, she has gotten more nuts than what she was before "Did they finally give you electroshock therapy" I said with a snigger. She looked around "No, I am a" and she mouthed the word lesbian I couldn't help but laugh "Well, let me know if you want some pointers" And I winked. I started unpacking for what felt like the hundredth time in the last 2 years "But you can't tell anyone it's just between us and Big Boo" Now it all made sense I wonder how many points Pennsatucky is worth "Right I get it"
"Because I know what your kind are up to now Healy told me" And she winked at me "Well, we better not tell anyone" I put my finger to my lips. I had been here a week and already I hated it, why the fuck did I want to get transferred I took out the letters Kate sent me, she was being really supportive especially with the whole Piper thing which was strange. She also kept sending me books, most I've read, but the thought was there I kept sending her stuff as well she genuinely was like a pen friend. I was still confused about the whole Piper thing every day she kept coming up to me to apologize, but I won't listen I just want her to be honest with me for a change. Pennsatucky spent an hour just ranting about how we lesbians are going to take over the world, I got saved by Nicky "Hey Vause come here a minute, " I walk out the cube with Nicky "I could really kiss you now thanks for that"
"She's been really annoying to the dyke community, you owe me for that one Vause" Nicky sniffed her fingers, was there any need for that "So what's new in dyke drama land" We sat on the steps in the main hall I missed these times with Nicky. "I don't know it's just a fucking explosive circle, I mean Piper has changed a hell of a lot since she's been here, I mean getting Holly to call my probation officer on me"
"It's fucking Polly"
I didn't know whether to tell Nicky about Kate, she might go and tell Lorna "Hey Nic we've been good friends for a while if I tell you something you promise not to tell" Nicky raised an eyebrow "Sounds serious" Nicky raised her right hand and put it on her scar "Even though it's fucked I promise cross my screwed up heart and most probably will die from it in the future, trust me cause I know more secrets than the Pope"
"Well, if you put it like that" I moved up a step so that no one could hear us "When I was in Virginia" Nicky laughed "You hooked up with someone I can tell" How the fuck did she know. Nicky looked very smug with herself "How the fuck could you tell" I knew what she was about to say and at the same time we both said "I know dyke drama when I see it" We both laughed at the same time. Nicky puts her arm on my shoulder, "I could tell as soon as you got back your, not the only one that can read people Vause" It felt good it was out in the open "So what was she like did she have big tits or were they tiny and pert" I nodded my head "I didn't get to feel them, I saw her body though and that was pretty amazing" Nicky's eyes widened engrossed in the story "So who was the pussy licker or was it just fingering"
"No, it wasn't like that"
"Tribbing?" I rolled my eyes now I wished I hadn't told Nicky "We didn't have sex". Nicky eyes widened and her mouth was open "Did you instigate it?" Now I just felt embarrassed "O my god you did and the great Alex Vause got rejected" Nicky fell back laughing "What I'd do to be a fly on that wall"
"It was a moment of weakness and she didn't want to take advantage of that". Nicky was still laughing, I pinched her elbow to get her to stop it "Ouch, that hurt"
"Honestly Nicky if you tell anyone I'll sneak into your bunk at night, pin you down and brush your hair" Nicky raised her hands in surrender "Hey that's just mean Vause but it's fine, I won't tell anyone. So is that who you've been writing to then" I nodded yes "Do you like her" I shrugged my shoulder "Wow, that's extra dyke drama to add to the pot" I nodded yes again "Pretty fucked up huh" Nicky got up and stretched "I gotta go to work but don't worry I won't tell anyone about our little chat it's fine". I finally got assigned a job as well in the fucking laundry of all places and it was worse than before, I sensed tension between Pennsatucky and her bible bashing crew though it was nice to work in peace and quiet. I was folding sheets with Pennsatucky when she nodded over to the dryer "Remember when I locked you in that dryer" How could I forget "Not exactly something I want to reminisce about to be honest"
"Right lurch that's okay, I get you" We carried on folding and I knew she was itching to say something. Leanne came in looked at Pennsatucky ignored her then looked at me "Lurch someone at the front for you" I adjusted my glasses and walked to the front, Piper was standing there with her washing "Leanne could've done this for you" I took her washing "Maybe I just wanted to see you" She looked awkward "So you been locked in the dryer yet"
"That's not funny"
"No, no, it's not funny" She looked pissed off with herself for saying that she gave me a half smile "How long you going to keep this up Al" I started writing her ticket "If you are honest with me then I will"
"Al I have been honest, I was worried you were going to get killed or something". I tried to keep cool, but inside I was losing it "Don't fucking lie to me, you know full damn well you wanted some twisted stupid revenge on Larry and I was used to do it. You just think of me of someone to keep your pussy warm till he's done with Holly" Piper slammed her hand on the table, "It's fucking Polly" Piper looked over my shoulder I turned around the whole meth head crew was looking at us "Enjoying the fucking show are we" Leanne raised her hand, "I kinda am" I gave Piper her ticket she snatched it from me "I didn't mean for any of this to happen Al" And she walked off, I threw her laundry bag in the to wash pile. I glared at the meth head crew, they instantly got back to doing work, then a half Asian women came running in "Sorry I'm late" She looked at me "Wow, your tall I'm Soso" She offered a handshake I ignored it and got back to folding sheets. Pensatucky kept looking at me, I knew she wanted to say something "What!" I shouted "Nothing, it's just if being in a lesbian relationship is like that then I am out" She stopped folding sheets and walked off.
Kate
I was sitting in the library writing Alex a letter I was smiling whilst I was writing it, most of Alex's letters were mainly about her confusion about her feelings towards Piper, I decided to play the supporting friend rather than pit them against each other. Yes Alex was hot and amazing, but if Piper made her happy then that's what I have to accept, it's not like I could see her anyway being in here and her all the way in Litchfield. It will be Sunday tomorrow and I had my mother coming to visit me, I'm really not looking forward to it, especially after what happened last time maybe she did get a change of heart. I put another book inside Alex's parcel City of God is what I am sending her this time she probably has read it all ready. "Sending another letter to your girlfriend" I looked up it was Lyn "She's not my girlfriend, we're just close friends"
"Oh, that's right cause your the gentlemen in this relationship or is she the man, " I wasn't in the mood for this then again I never was in the mood for Lyn. "Just say what you want to say then get lost" Lyn leaned in and whispered "I am going to be hiding stuff in here and you're going to help me do it" Lyn smelled my hair I jumped out of my seat "I don't do that stuff I just want to do my sentence trouble free" Lyn picked up my letter to Alex and cleared her throat "As long as you honest with your true feelings it'll work out in the end follow your heart and not your head" Lyn started tearing the page up "Blah blah blah blah". I wasn't scared of Lyn but she was creeping me out I decided sarcasm was the way forward I clapped "O wow you tore up a piece of paper you must be sooooo strong"
"The next time it'll be your arm" I rolled my eyes "Whatever Lyn" Lyn walked off. Ruth walked over "What was that all about"
"O just Lyn, thinks she's some sort of ganster, and she smelled my hair" Ruth rolled her eyes "She has been mixing with some strange people"
"I really couldn't care" I sat back down and worked on another letter to Alex. "So you seeing your mom tomorrow" I carried on writing "Yep, not looking forward to it though" Ruth sat down next to me "Why do you keep in contact with her it's a waste of time you know" Ruth still had this hatred for Alex "we're just good friends"
"You've only known her a month" It felt like a lifetime to me though. I didn't say anything I just kept writing Ruth got up "It'll end in tears, you know".
Later in that evening I was brushing my teeth and saw Lyn in the mirror with three other women. I spun with my toothbrush still in my mouth one of them slapped my face, making my toothbrush fly out of my mouth Lyn nodded to the three women and before I knew it I was being dragged into the showers. Lyn signaled for everyone to get out everyone left apart from us I felt a massive jolt of pain as she punched me in the ribs. I tried to not show that I was in pain I just looked at her as she hit me again in the same place. She nodded again at the three girls and two held me up, I struggled trying to break loose "Don't even try it" Lyn took a toothbrush out of her pocket it had a razor melted into it. I looked at it, okay now I was scared, she put the razor against my throat, "I will ask you again you fucking dyke"
She put a little pressure on her grip, the razor dug in a little bit more and it stang a little "I am hiding stuff in the library and you're going to help me do it aren't you". She put more pressure on her grip I don't think that Lyn would slit my throat but then I didn't want to call her bluff on it, I just nodded yes "brilliant, we'll talk more about this tomorrow after visiting hours". The two women let me go and I fell on the cold tiles, Lyn walked to the door and nodded to the three women again and left ,I was being kicked all over I curled up in a ball, I was stuck the only thing I could do was take it. When they finished one of them stood on my foot and spat on me, I struggled, but I found the strength to get up "Eh, tell Lyn she could have asked nicely" I got a punch in the face for that when they left I took my cloths off and turned the water on trying to wash the blood off. I was trying really hard not to cry, I miss Alex, I missed my mother, I missed my job, I missed my freedom, leaning my back against the shower I slid down the tiles and sat down with my head against my knees. I won't cry cause that's what they want I could hear voices in the background as I looked up I could see guards and Ruth everything looked hazy and I blacked out.
