10:45AM

They opened the door and the guard stood there. “It is time to get ready for your visitor Mr. Young.” The guard moved out of the doorway for MattY to pass through it. His head was spinning; he couldn’t feel his feet anymore. It was like he was walking on air. The lights were incredibly bright and he could feel his eyes straining to see properly. He could see a door ahead and he knew he had to wait before going through.

A hand fell on MattY’s shoulder, “Okay, you have about 10 minutes before you get to go in, sit down in this room,” the guard gestured towards a pale door with a small pane of glass near the top. MattY walked through the door; in the room there was a faded red sofa placed in front of an old television set. There was a small kitchen area behind it. “Feel free to make yourself a drink and watch the TV for 10 minutes.”

MattY poured himself a glass of water and sat on the edge of the red sofa, he couldn’t quite believe that in 10 minutes he would be with Cherise again. His heart started to beat very quickly all of a sudden, he had to try and calm down. It had been such a long time since he had seen her, he could feel his chest starting to ache now.

11 O’clock approached and all of a sudden MattY could hear the guard’s voice again, but with him there was the sound of heels. MattY instantly recognized the sound of how Cherise walked; he couldn’t believe he could still tell it was her just from the sound of her footsteps. It was mad. The door opened in front of him and the guard gestured for him to come to the door. MattY got to the door and stumbled slightly making a slight noise against the door. The guard opened the door to the room Cherise was in, and MattY just stood there. She looked amazing.

11:00AM With Cherise Again…

MattY entered the room; he didn’t know what to say or how to be. He had lost all sense of social ability. His voice seemed to escape him. He sat down as Cherise pulled out a box of cigarettes and a lighter. He quickly removed one from the box and lit it. He took a deep drag and closed his eyes briefly; savoring the taste of the smoke in his mouth.

He exhaled as she tried talking to him. He had no response for her, all he could do was shrug his shoulders. MattY rested his hands on the table, but as Cherise moved her hands across it to touch his he pulled them away. He couldn’t deal with the thought of her touching him again. He had ruined her life, he had killed there baby. That baby had been everything to Cherise, she deserved better than MattY, but he still loved her. She was visible stressed out, he could see her eyes were not their usual relaxed state, she kept looking around.

Cherise got up and started walking around; MattY simply took another drag of his cigarette. She started talking to him again, but he couldn’t find anything to say to her. The sound of her voice just soothed him again; even when she shouted he could feel the side of his lips curling into a smile. He quickly hid it by taking another drag. She sat down in front of him and looked him straight in the eye, MattY’s heart broke there and then, and he could see the girl he had loved so much on the point of breaking. “MattY it was me, I killed Kyle. I murdered that bastard.” MattY was speechless, he couldn’t find anything to say now but for a different reason. He looked into her eyes and she continued before he could say anything, “I’m going to confess, I’m going to get you out of here. I should have done it long ago and I’m sorry, I’ve got no excuse, I can’t justify it. All I can do is apologise.”

He couldn’t resist any longer, he placed his hand on top of hers and continued looking straight into those eyes he had fallen so deeply for. He watched a tear roll down her face and he knew that there was no way that he could blame her for him being inside. This place may have been bad, and it may have broken him down, but she wouldn’t have lasted a minute inside. To him he deserved every second of this punishment for what he did to her. They could have been a happy family in just under a month if he hadn’t ruined everything. She would be 8 months pregnant now, and they would be getting ready for their first Christmas as a family. He had ruined everything, and he deserved to rot in this jail cell.

“I am so sorry MattY,” she spoke softly; MattY could see she was trying to hold herself together, “As soon as I leave here I am going to the police…” Their eyes connected again and she stopped talking.
“No.” he simply said, “You’ve been through enough.” She sat there in disbelief. She tried to argue her case but MattY stood up and placed his finger on her lips, “No babe, I’ve got to do this. This isn’t the place for you. Move on with your life and forget about me.” He stood up and turned around, he could feel his throat drying up, he knew he was about to break down, he couldn’t let her see him like this again. He knocked on the door, “MattY please, wait I don’t…” She started to speak but the door had been opened and MattY couldn’t hear the end of the sentence, if there even was one. All he wanted to do now was get back into his cell and go back to the silence that was waiting for him…

Back in the Cell.

MattY arrived back in his cell and lay down on the bed, burying his face in the flat lifeless pillow. He knew that what he had done was probably the most stupid thing he could ever do. The realization had hit him now; he would be in here forever. But he would rather be in here forever than allow Cherise to even spend one day in one of these places. The best thing for her was to forget about him; he had never been good for her.

MattY felt one solitary tear roll down his nose, he would be in this place until he died. He closed his eyes now, for what he almost hoped would be the last time…
