Heather's POV
It's been about two weeks since I talked to Bridgette on the phone, and I've been needing and itching to talk to her again.
So I decided to contact a guard, and I asked him to let me have a phone call.
"Hey, dirt bag, can I have a phone call?" I asked the guard
"Yea, fine you want one or two?" He asked
"I'll have two." I said
I have someone else I am planning to call, I really need to talk to them.
"Ok fine, but no phone calls for two weeks, since you're using two now." The guard said
"Ok, fine, whatever." I said
The guard then escorted me to the telephones and I dialed Bridgette's number and heard it ring.
She picked up almost immediately.
Hopefully she knows it was me calling her.
"Hey, is this you Heather?" Bridgette asked
"Yea, it's me." I said
"It's so nice to here from you again, I missed hearing from you." She said
"It's amazing that I'm actually able to talk to you in the first place, I just want to see you." I said
"I know, me too, and I'm working on it." She said
I really miss her, and I have to check in on her, ask how close she is on the saw.
"Speaking of that, do you know if the production of the saw started yet, or are the plans are developed yet?" I asked
"Uh, so I've got good news and bad news." She said
Oh no, what could it be.
"What is it, how bad is it?" I asked
"So the bad news is, that I told my boss that I had to make the saw, and I needed extra materials." She said
"But you're the highest of the company, why would you need permission from someone else?" I asked
"Sis, there is always going to be someone higher than you, no matter how high you are." Bridgette said
"Ok, so what's the bad news?" I asked
"Uh, he asked a lot of questions, and I folded. I didn't tell him everything, but I told him that I needed it for you so you can get back to me." She said
Oh no, she wasn't kidding about the bad news that she had.
"Oh Bridgette, I'm not going to sugar coat it, this is not good. We could get more time in prison, and you could easily get time too." I said
"I know, but he said he wouldn't tell anyone and he let me get the extra things I need in order to make it." Bridgette said
"Bridgette, how can we be sure to trust him, there are so many risks now. The only good thing is that he didn't call the cops and you got the stuff you need." I spoke
"I know, but you don't know him like I do, he's a person I get along with well, he would say anything. I know that for a fact." She said
"Ok, I believe you, just stay safe and don't make any stupid mistakes that would hurt you." I said
"I know Heather, I'm not a little kid anymore, I don't make stupid mistakes." She said
"Yea, think about what you just said for a second." I said
"Oh yea, I just told my boss about your plan. But I promise, I won't tell anyone else." Bridgette said
"Mhm." I said sarcastically
"I promise I won't! But I love you Heather, with all my heart, please know that." She said
I really care so much about Bridgette, I need to get out of here, I don't know how much I can last with these phone calls without seeing her face.
I want to hug her, be with her, be happy, and cry into her arms when I'm upset.
"I know Bridgette, I know you love me and I love you so much. I hope you know that, there is no one in the world I love more than you." I told her
"Oh Heather, that means so much, but I see now that our time is up. It was amazing talking to you, and I love talking to you. And one last thing I forgot to say, um, the saw, I got some help, since I'm pretty much the boss, I can order people to do whatever I want." Bridgette said
"What do you mean?" I asked
"I never told them the reason but I got a total of five people working with me on the saw, so I just wanted to tell you that it's heading on the right track." Bridgette said
"Ok cool, I'm cool with that." I said
"Thank you Heather. I love you, I'll talk to you soon." She said
"I love you too, bye Bridgette." I said hanging up the phone
And then I burst into tears.
I don't know why.
I'm trilled that I get to talk to her.
But...
I just want to see her.
I can't just keep talking to her on the phone, it's not even close to the same as seeing her in person.
I just can't take it anymore, it kills me knowing this is the most I can see of her, considering she's too busy to take the long drive and visit.
But I'll see her soon.
Now it's time for my second call.
And I'm, calling Anthony...
The only reason why I have his number is because I was able to get it when we kept him captive.
When we tied him up, I decided it may be useful in the future if we had his number, so I decided to grab his phone, and I called my number from his phone.
Then his number appeared on my phone, and I wrote his number down.
I memorized that number, I know it for a fact. I looked that number constantly before Mark and I went to jail, and now I need it.
And it turned out, that I was right, I would actually need it in the future.
I got the phone and dialed his number.
"Who is this?" He asked
"Anthony, I need to speak to you." I said
"Heather?! Is this you?!" Anthony yelled
"Yes, it's me." I said
"Why in the fucking world are you calling me?" He asked extremely angrily
"I need to warn you." I said
"About what, you guys already pretty much ruined my life, so what do you want to tell me?" He asked rhetorically
"Mark designed a plan to break us out of jail, and if it works, and we get out, he wants to get revenge on you." I said sounding panicked
"What in the world." He said
"I know, you have to be careful, our plan is in motion, and we have people helping us." I said
"What the hell?! Why didn't you tell me this earlier?!" He yelled
"I couldn't, you don't know how much I risk telling you this. You just need to know that Mark's main reason and goal for this plan is to...kill you." I said
"Holy shit. Why are you telling me this? Aren't you on his side, and want to end my life...again?!" He said
"I don't. The only reason why I want to get out of jail is so I can get back to my sister. I'm not angry at you at all, I feel bad that we caused you all that pain, and I want to make it up to you." I said
"Well, thanks. But how does me knowing this, help me not get killed?" Anthony asked
"I need you to know that this is not my idea, and I will do everything I can to stop him from hurting you, and I want nothing bad to happen." I said
"Ok, so what do I do in the meantime?" He asked
"You could try talking to someone and ask for help, or try learning some self defense?" I suggested
"Ok, I guess. Though, what can you do to stop him from wanting revenge on me?" Anthony asked me
"I'm going to try my best to convince him that it isn't your fault we're in jail, and you don't deserve to be punished." I said
"Ok that's fine. Well thank you Heather, I wasn't expecting you to call me." He said
"Yea, I felt it was the right thing to do, you don't deserve to feel the wrath of Mark." I said
"Thanks Heather. I also wasn't expecting for you to actually be helping me, I was expecting for you to still hate me, like Mark." He said
"No problem Anthony. But now, my times up, I have to go, but remember, be safe, and try your hardest to live with your best life." I said lastly
"I will, thanks Heather. Bye." He said
"Bye Anthony." I said hanging up the phone
I then went back to the cell, and I decided to talk to Scarlett, and see if she thought anymore if she wants in on our plan.
"Hey Scarlett." I said
"Hey pig face." Scarlett said
"So, Scarlett, I was thinking, is there any chance you thought a little more about my offer?" I asked her
I hope she's going to get on our plan, it'd be nice to still have her in my life, and still be friends with her if we break out of jail.
"Umm, yea, I did think about it." She said
"And do you have an answer?" I asked
"Yea, I do. I decided that I will go with you guys and escape with you." She said
"Are you sure, don't feel pressured just because I want you to come on the plan." I said
"Don't worry, I'm not. I really want to be in on your plan, I want to escape with you guys." She said
"Yes!!! I'm so glad you thought about it and decided to escape with Mark and I. I couldn't imagine escaping and just not talking agains with you." I said
"Yea, me too. We'll go through this together." Scarlett said
"Thanks Scarlett, I'm really happy." I said
"No problem Heather, I'm really glad too." She said
"Ok Scarlett, it's time to go to bed, I'm glad we ended this day on a right note." I said
"Yea, me too." She said
"Goodnight." I said
"Night." Scarlett said lastly
Anthony's POV
Flashback to Heather and Anthony's Conversation
I was about to go downstairs from my room and make myself some dinner, then I heard my phone ring.
It's probably Trent, I don't know who else it would possibly be.
But it's not Trent, it just says some random number, it would've said Trent's name if it was him.
So I decided to pick it up unknowing of who it was.
"Who is this?" I asked
"Anthony, I need to speak to you." Some women said
Wait, I know that voice from anywhere, that's Heather's voice, her and Mark's voices are implanted in my brain!
"Heather?! Is this you?!" I yelled
"Yes, it's me." She said
You have got to be kidding me.
"Why in the fucking world are you calling me?" I asked her extremely furious
"I need to warn you." She said
Why does she need to warn me?
"About what, you guys already pretty much ruined my life, so what do you want to tell me?" I asked rhetorically
"Mark designed a plan to break us out of jail, and if it works, and we get out, he wants to get revenge on you." She said kinda sounding worried
Great, just great. My horrible life just got a whole lot worse than usual.
"What in the world." I said
I am so freaking scared right now, is she joking?!
"I know, you have to be careful, our plan is in motion, and we have people helping us." She said
What the heck. Why is she telling me this, if she's in on the plan and is working on getting out, why does she want me to know?
"What the hell?! Why didn't you tell me this earlier?!" I yelled
I'm am so scared right now.
"I couldn't, you don't know how much I risk telling you this. You just need to know that Mark's main reason and goal for this plan is to...kill you." She said
Oh my god. I can't believe this, I'm the victim, why would he want revenge on me?
"Holy shit. Why are you telling me this? Aren't you on his side, and want to end my life...again?!" I said
"I don't. The only reason why I want to get out of jail is so I can get back to my sister. I'm not angry at you at all, I feel bad that we caused you all that pain, and I want to make it up to you." She said
Oh wow, that was unexpected.
"Well, thanks. But how does me knowing this, help me not get killed?" I asked
"I need you to know that this is not my idea, and I will do everything I can to stop him from hurting you, and I want nothing bad to happen." She said
Wow, she's actually not a total witch
"Ok, so what do I do in the meantime?" I asked
"You could try talking to someone and ask for help, or try learning some self defense?" She suggested
"Ok, I guess. Though, what can you do to stop him from wanting revenge on me?" I asked Heather
"I'm going to try my best to convince him that it isn't your fault we're in jail, and you don't deserve to be punished." She said
I really hope she's able to convince him not to want to murder me, I still kinda want to live.
"Ok that's fine. Well thank you Heather, I wasn't expecting you to call me." I said
"Yea, I felt it was the right thing to do, you don't deserve to feel the wrath of Mark." She said to me
She's actually kinda nice?
"Thanks Heather. I also wasn't expecting for you to actually be helping me, I was expecting for you to still hate me, like Mark." I said
"No problem Anthony. But now, my times up, I have to go, but remember, be safe, and try your hardest to live with your best life." She said lastly
"I will, thanks Heather. Bye." I said
"Bye Anthony." She said hanging up the phone
Heather's POV
One week Later
It's been near a week since I warned Anthony about Mark, and it's been as boring as hell in here, with zero talking to Bridgette.
But luckily it's time for dinner, and I have a chance to see Mark, I had a little talk with a blackmailed guard, and I have a conversation with Mark coming up.
I go to the cafeteria, and see Mark immediately.
I go over to him and sit down.
"Hey Mark." I said
"Hey, and before you say anything, I want to say something first." Mark said
"Ok, sure." I said
"Ok, so, I talked to Noah." He said
"What, are you joking?!" I said
"Yea, it was really cool, it's nice that he's actually on our side in this." He said
"Yea, sure..." I said nervously
"And now that I know for a fact that he's on our side, we can bring an end to Anthony." He said
Oh no, this is not good.
I have to stop Mark...
A/N
