Final Chapter
 
One Year Later
Raegan, I think about you all the time,
ma. Life here in London doesn‘t feel right
without you. I know that our history is
complicated. I hurt you and you hurt
me. We did a lot of that to each other,
but through it all you are still the greatest
love I’ve ever known. I’m addicted
to you. You’re my Sunny Rae. I show
baby Micah your picture every day.
He’s getting up there now. He’s not the
little baby who you remember. He can’t
wait to see you and I don’t mean to add
pressure but neither can I. I need to be
with you, Raegan. Even if we can’t pick
up where we left off, I yearn for your
friendship. You complete me. Having
you in my life makes me whole so please
allow me that. I know you won’t write
me back so I’m done begging, lol. But
just remember that you have two people
out here that’s missing you and thinking
about you every day that you’re away.
You’re a real woman, Raegan ... be my
real woman.
 
Nah
 
 
 
Raegan closed the note and wiped away a stray tear as she put it inside the prison-issued laundry bag. It didn’t contain much and in all honesty she wanted to say to hell with her things and leave all the bullshit behind. She was getting out today and she was so anxious that her stomach hurt. Brelin had kept his promise and had stuck it out with her until the very end. She only ended up serving thirteen months, but to her it felt like forever. Without a crew in prison she didn’t have the easiest time adjusting. Bitches tested her every day, but as she prepared to leave her cell she felt so proud of herself because no matter what they couldn’t break her. She was the one on her way home while the bum bitches were stuck behind bars. Tired of living in captivity she was ready to breathe free air. It was funny because out of all the things that she had gone without it was the simple freedoms that she had come to miss. She valued the little things now, but more importantly she had become a person of value while being locked up. Her time hadn’t been served in vain; she was wiser and a better person. She was walking out of prison and never coming back again. She came out of her cell with the laundry bag slung over her shoulder and she looked back at the tiny space that had been her home for the past year. Turning up her nose she shook her head and bowed her head as she whispered, “Thank you, God, for seeing me through this. Now please take me to my son.”
A part of her feared that Micah wouldn’t recognize her, but she knew that when she laid him on her chest the synchronized beats of their hearts would remind him of who she was. She was his mother and no time, distance, space, person, or place could ever keep them apart. Their bond was unbreakable and she would never jeopardize her role as his mother again. Prison had given her time for self-reflection and she had realized that she had put herself in this position. For so long she had pointed the finger at her child’s father. Using excuses and scapegoats to justify her getting in the game, but at the end of the day it was her actions and her bad decisions that had ultimately sent her life spiraling out of control.
She saw Brelin waiting at the end of her cell block and she waved excitedly. He gave her a wink and she headed toward him. She never saw the sneak attack coming her way. She was merely steps away from freedom when Bianca, the leader of a lesbian girl gang, and her crew came out of nowhere. They had tried to bully Raegan into submission her entire bid, but she had steered clear of them until now. Her face dropped in horror when she felt the blade plunge into her abdomen as Bianca stabbed her up.
Raegan saw red as she flew into a rage as a stabbing pain filled her stomach. She lunged toward Bianca in defense mode, pushing the girl off of her. She couldn’t focus on all three chicks but she could focus on one. She knew the rules of the street. Take out the head and the body will fall so she planned to beat the fucking brakes off of Bianca. Raegan grabbed Bianca’s hand and fought her for the homemade shank knife. She knew that the fight was unbalanced as long as Bianca was carrying and she wasn’t. Raegan bit into her wrist until she tasted blood, forcing Bianca to drop it to the ground. Then she worked the big bitch. Throwing blows relentlessly and shoving the girl forcefully as the two tussled. Raegan was taking out all of her aggression. She pushed Bianca with all of her might causing the girl to break the weak railing that separated the highest cellblock from the concrete floor below. Bianca’s face instantly transfixed in horror as she felt her body going over the edge and she grabbed Raegan’s clothes, sending them both flying over the edge.
“Agh!” Raegan screamed as she grabbed for the hanging metal and held on with all of her might. Bianca desperately hung on to Raegan’s leg as the two girls held on for dear life. “Brelin!” Raegan called out as she heard the commotion of guards rushing to help them above her head. Her hands were sweating and her abdomen piercing with excruciating pain as she tried to hold on.
“Don’t you let go of that rail!” Bianca yelled in a shrill voice. “I can’t get a grip. I’m slipping! Help ... please hurry!”
Bianca tried to climb up Raegan’s body, causing Raegan grip to loosen. “Stop it ... stop.”
Raegan twisted her body, causing Bianca to completely lose her grip and go plummeting to the floor below.
The sickening sound as Bianca’s body completed the fifty-foot drop made Raegan close her eyes as Brelin and the guards finally approached her. Brelin rushed past the guards and reached his arm down to pull Raegan up.
“Grab my hand!” he shouted. Raegan reached up and when their hands connected she knew that he wouldn’t let her go. He pulled her up onto the tier and she collapsed into him, sobbing hysterically.
“Raegan, on the ground!” one of the COs yelled.
“What?” she asked as she was snatched out of Brelin’s arms. Like a deer in headlights Raegan protested. “No! Wait! Brelin! Help me! Please ... it was a mistake,” she said. She looked over the edge and saw a pool of blood circling around Bianca’s body. “Please don’t let them do this!” she yelled at Brelin, who was stressfully yelling at the head correctional officer.
He turned to Raegan and yelled, “Stop resisting, Raegan! I’ll get you out of here! I promise! I’ll take care of it.
Within the blink of an eye she had caught a body and contributed to a murder that would stop her from tasting the freedom she so desperately yearned for. It seemed no matter how hard Raegan searched for redemption, it eluded her. Now she was certain that her life was over and she could forget about ever reuniting with the loves of her life. They were going to hit her with more charges and lock her away for the rest of her life. She was about to lose everything for a second time. Just when Nahvid and her son would forget about her for good... .
