TW: TALKS ABOUT DEPRESSION, ANXIETY AND SUICIDAL THOUGHTS

-----------------------------------

*3rd pov*

"Chloe!"

"What it's true, now don't move!"

"Shut up, I'm trying, but you apply too much pressure!"

"Come on princess, it's not that much, but your back looks beautiful, it's all red, and bloody" Chloe chuckled as she rinsed the rag in a bowl of water, then squeezed the rag and continued cleaning Korra's back

"I can't wait to see yours"

"Yeah sure whatever"

Korra sighed, she was lying on her stomach and resting her head on her muscular arms

"Shane wasn't happy"

"I know, but what was I supposed to do?"

"You should've let her"

"Chloe she fucking punched you and for no fucking reason, then her friends did the same to me"

"Yeah, and what you did?"

"I....... threw the food in her friends face then used the tray and hit her....... Multiple times"

"Exactly, it's usual for people here to fight, but when someone goes too far the guards have to stop them"

"Next time stick to our rule please, I don't wanna get whipped again"

"But I told them it was my fault"

"Korra look, people here don't care, they have one job and that is to make sure we won't kill each other and that we won't run away, they don't care, and when someone does something stupid, others will be punished too"

"I'm sorry Chloe just, it's unfair"

"Life is unfair Korra, look at yourself, you ended up here for doing the right thing and it was your girlfriend who got you here"

Chloe threw the rug into the bowl as Korra sat up and Chloe handled her the chest bandages Korra used as she started wrapping them around her breast, back still facing her friend, and when she was done she put on the shirt and the uniform

"Your turn," Korra said as she changed places with Chloe who took off her upper part body clothes and laid down on where Korra laid previously as Korra sat down to her right side and brought closer the bowl with water

"I know life is not fair, I just feel bad for dragging you into this"

"Oh please, bruised back is the last of my worries, at least I will have some cool scars," she said and Korra chuckled and started slowly cleaning Chloe's back as she heard her friend hiss in pain

"Told ya"

"Whatever"

"How long are we gonna be down here again?"

"Next 2 days then we will go back to our cell but we won't be able to go out for next 5 days"

"Fucking shit, sorry Chl-"

"Shut up, we are in this together, I should be thanking you for backing me up, at least we won't have to see that ugly bitch for next week"

"True" Korra chuckled "I wonder if Lin knows about this treatment"

"Who?"

"Lin Beifong"

"Oh yeah I remember her, she was the one who arrested and interrogated me, always so serious and grumpy"
