“I mean, I did have sex with other people in those 29 years Erin. Though I wish you were my first.”
“I’m glad you were mine.” Erin smiled at her, and they kissed.
Casper stormed in startling them both.
“Casper, fuck off!” hissed Holly pulling the duvet up over Erin’s head past her breasts. Casper collapsed into his bunk face first and started screaming into his pillow. Holly was angry that he came into the cell, but was now concerned for him too, she didn’t know what to do.
“Casper what’s happened? Are you okay?” she asked.
He kept screaming into the pillow. Shit thought Holly. She climbed out of the bed and quickly put on her knickers and uniform top, then went over to him.
“Casper look at me! What’s happened!?”
Erin looked over with concern. She was sad that Casper seemed so upset. He couldn’t stop crying. Holly knelt next to him and put her arm over him.
“Hey, hey, man c’mon. Look I’m here. Do you need something?”
Erin stood up with the duvet pulled around her. She went over to him and put her arm on him too.
“Poor Casper.” she said.
“Get dressed Erin!” said Holly. “Casper look at me!”
He turned to look at her still hyperventilating and crying. She looked into his eyes earnestly.
“Tell me what happened.”
It took him a minute to calm down but slowly and surely he began to speak. He told holly and Erin everything, about how he met Tom then Grace and what they did to him. Holly looked back at him in shock and anger. His account made Erin so upset she started to cry as well. When he was done no one could speak.
“Fuck.” said Holly after staring blankly at the ground. “Grace is literally the worst person in here. She kidnapped a girl from her college and tortured her for three days. That bitch! She recruits new boys to be her victims and foot soldiers. I’m sure Satan himself probably looks under the bed for her. Casper this is fucked. Like beyond fucked. I should have warned you. I’m sorry.” Casper was still shaking.
“Should I tell one of the guards?” he said.
“NO!” hissed Holly. “The last thing you want to be in here is a grass. You’ll just dig your hole deeper. Listen to me Casper, under no circumstances do you tell a guard shit. They’re not our friends.”
Casper kept crying. Holly sighed. She got up sat next to him and put her arms around him. Erin held his hand. “You need to stop being such a cry-baby too.”
“Holly. That’s not nice. He’s sad and needs to cry.” said Erin.
“I know Erin but there are a lot of people in here that’ll take advantage when they see someone like this.”
Holly noticed the Irish history book that was on Caspers shelf. She looked at it for a minute, “Casper, did you get that book because of what Louise said to you earlier?” He nodded.
“She was upset and the least I could do was try to understand her background and why she feels the way she does. Maybe there’s something I’m missing and hopefully we can see eye to eye after I educate myself.”
Holly was amazed, she knew then that Casper was a good person. “From now on Casper you can hang out with us during meal and com time. You need allies and I can tell you’re a good guy. We’ll keep you safe.”
“I knew it.” said Erin. “I could tell Casper was good from when I saw him.”
“What am I going to do about Grace though?” sobbed Casper. Holly looked away in anger again.
“Do you still have her card?” Holly asked. Casper nodded and gave it to her. Holly inspected it then snapped it in half. Casper and Erin gasped. “She can stick her one-hundred points up her arse. That bitch is going down!”
