When I was 13 years old, I stabbed my stepdad because he tried to rape me. I told my mom and the cops about that, but no one believed me.

"She was always a troubled child, I should have disowned her sooner," My mom said that to the judge when she testified against me.

"You, you should be ashamed of yourself, young lady. Your father was a good man, a good Christian and you killed him"the judge said before sentencing me to the juvie for ten years.

And that was how I end up in one of the safest places on earth when the world changed.

.....

The first year in the juvie was very tough. I was bullied left and right because I was the youngest and the tiniest there. They beat me when they bord, toke my food when they want a snack, and forced me to do their bidding when they didn't want to risk themself.

They basically own me.

Until one day I was caught with a half-smoke joint of weed in my shoe. The weed wasn't mine of cause, my bitch of a roommate forced me to keep it there when the room was randomly checked by the guard.

The guard who found it obviously knew that the weed wasn't mine because they knew that the bottom feeder like me won't be able to get my hand on it. They tried to get me to talk, not just about the owner of the weed but about a lot of stuff that happened behind the scene. They thought they could scare me into talking easily, but they didn't know that my 'mate' scared me more.

And since I didn't talk, I was thrown into "the hole" for almost a month.

Some people would go a bit crazy if they have to be in the hole for that long, but not me, I was happy. I never felt that safe since I got sent there.

I even made a few friends by giving them some of my food. I called them rat number one, rat number two and rat number three.

I never expected anything to change when I was out, but a lot of things did change, for me anyway.

The boss who ran the place somehow mistaken my cowardy for my loyalty. he thought I was very brave for not snitching my roommate out, so, he takes me under his wing.

After the incident, I no longer belong to them, I, was one of them.
