Pain. Fear. Love. Sadness. Confusion. All words used to describe my horrid life. When I was three years old my mother was arrested for selling drugs. Not only did she sell them but she tested them on me. She did this to make sure that they were "safe" and people would like them. The day the police came to arrest her I was four years old and high. They put me in a mental asylum thinking I was crazy. I'm sixteen now and tomorrow is my birthday. I only have one more year in this prison but it's scaring me.  The Sisters taught me everything I need to know. They give me protection and love. I've made so many great friends here. Cheryl, Toni, and Ethel mainly. Some nights me and the girls cause a little chaos for the guards. Now that it's my last day of being sixteen I know that Cheryl is gonna give me hell unless I hook up with someone. I'm thinking maybe the guard who never seems to leave. He's really hot and he's dark and mysterious. Total package if you ask me. He seems like the type to be a lover and a fighter. His name is Jughead Jones and I'm pretty sure he has a girlfriend but that doesn't matter. I've never seen him leave this place so they must not hang out to much. I've always wondered what life was like outside these walls. I can't remember what is like.  Ethel came in last year, she gave all of us so many details about the world. Cheryl and I have been here since were toddlers and Toni came in when we were all six. Ethel was our only source of info. I've tried talking to Jughead about what it was like being outside. Maybe he was friendly? But instead he would look me up and down and smirk, then he would say " Get some sleep blondie. You'll learn when your eighteen." I usually rolled my eyes and walked away. But tonight is different, I almost feel brave. I'm going to ask about the outside and if he doesn't answer I'll stick around until I get what I want. Jughead Jones' persistence won't get to me today. Today I will get the answers I want.
