Beautiful and Healed Book 2

Lucy POV

Tomorrow is my last day here in jail and it seems like I was locked in here for only a week. Time passed by so fast and my five years of staying here will finally soon end. 

I was convicted of a case I didn't do and it's ironic right, that I was the one who takes all the blame where both of them are having the good times of their life together with my son. 

I clenched my fist in anger. While looking at the pile of bars in front of me, I feel like a murderer for five years. Life is unfair. If you're poor, you're always poor, if you're rich, you will become richer. 

Just wait and the world will soon be mine. 

"Hey, Lucy, weren't you excited? We're now free at last tomorrow!" Cassandra sat beside me with a smile on her face. I can see how happy she was and waited for this day to come. 

Arian and Gwen only stared at us like jealous neighbors. They became good to me after the incident they never forget.

Flashbacks

All of the inmates were taken out to do a clean-up outside the prison house. It was Lucy's second day in this place and she just followed her group silently. 

"Get brooms and other cleaning materials ladies and we will start the beautification of this backyard." One of the officers called their attention.  

Everyone started to get their materials and Lucy was one of them when Arian intentionally pushed her. She flew on the ground and got a deep bruise on her arms. 

Cassandra saw it. 

"Hey, what did you do?" She quickly crouched to help Lucy. 

Lucy didn't want to stain her hands with violence so she holds her anger while she can. She glared at Arian and other girls who cheered on her and laugh at her. She makes her hand into a ball secretly with a stone inside and when she got up, her hands fly like a rocket and landed it directly at Arian's nose. 

She felt dizzy and screamed when she saw the blood started to flows. After two minutes she dropped to the ground.  Everyone started to applause her and that day, no one dared to touch and bully her. Even Cassandra praised her. 

"Wow! You're so cool! I didn't know that you know boxing!" She said and Lucy smiled at her finally. That day they became friends.
