    "Let me go!"

   "Let me go! I haven't done anything, I swear!"

    A woman sobbing, a father disappointed, a brother and a sister desperate and an innocent boy about to be charged for some crime he didn't commit.

  Lights of blue and red flashing in my eyes, the cold metal around my wrists, my desperation as they didn't believe a word I said.

Oh Lord, what do I do? What do I do?!  Constantly repeating in my head.

"No!"

It was a dream.

A bad one to be exact.

I notice Noah was awake. Maybe I woke him up?

"Dude, you scared me." Says Noah.

"Sorry." I say.

"Are you alright Shawn?" Asks Noah.

"Yes."

"You sure?" Asks Noah again. –" It seems you had a very bad dream."

"Yes." I say arrogantly.

I turn around in my bed to face the wall.

"I'm only worrying about you, needing help isn't bad Shawn, will you learn that for at least once in your life?"

I ignore him.

Everything he says is true, I feel weak by his side. His words are all very true. He might've stolen when he was younger but his years here have truly transformed him for the better. I remember the first time I met Noah. I was broken to pieces. My eyes where red and puffy, I was always lost in my thoughts until he came to me with a smile and offered me to hang out with me when I was soo cold towards everyone. Al though I'm still a little bit cold I've "opened up a bit" or so he says. Noah's family is rich, why did he steal? He was forced by his step brothers to steal, because if he didn't get them what they wanted they'd kill his sister, Alexandrea. That day they told him to steal an expensive diamond watch from their neighbor. Noah got caught, his step brothers did not. He was only twelve years old.

He says he's guilty, but I know he is not. I think his sentence is 5 years al though I'm not sure because he's never told me. I wonder what will he do when he gets out of here. His constant worries towards his younger sister. It must be devastating.

I also understand.

  My younger sister's name is Audrey. She was only seven when I was taken in police custody. My brother Oliver, was ten years old, we did everything together. We pulled out loads of pranks, it was soo fun being with my family. I can't believe I have disappointed them.

"There's a newcomer." Says Noah.
