Kids in the Dark (Editing)

Part 1

{Last Night-Jessie's P.O.V}

"RUN RUN RUN! I HEAR THEM COMING!"
"I'm running as fast as I can!!"
"Well run faster! They're getting closer!"
"I can't!"
Me and Alex keep running, we hear the sirens getting closer. I push Alex into an alleyway and tell him to hide. This gets me caught, and I get taken to 'jail'.

{Present Time-Jessie's P.O.V}

I just lay there, haven't slept at all. Waiting for me to me able to get out when I hear a voice.

"So, what you In here for?" I look at the bars and see someone my age, he looks quite...happy.
"Heh...why d'you care?"
"Because, you don't look like the type to be in here."
"Fair enough. I stole somethin. Now what are you doing here?"
"My father sent me to keep an eye on you. You don't seem to bad."
"Thanks, I try." I say, sarcastically.
"Soooo," he leans against the bars of the cell "what did you steal exactly?"
"Food, nothing to valuable. Just a few apples, rotten at that."
"Wooow...that's rough."
"Heh...ain't the first time..."
"How old are you?"
"Man, you're just full of questions, huh?"
"My dad says that it makes the prisoners, and him, very miserable..."
"At least you have a dad to make miserable."
"Wait, what?"
"You see, I'm what you'd call an orphan. No family. No friends. No home. No nothing. This cell is literally the closest this to 'home' I've got. And these so called 'cops' are the closest thing I have to family, except for Alex..."
"Alex?"
"Yeah, I kinda save his hide back there. I'm the one that stole the apples but he's the one who ran. I made him hide and now here I am." I say, gesturing to the cell.
"At least you have 'friends'."
"Good, friends are overrated."
"You sound just like my father..."
"Then your father is a wise man."
"He's the one who put y in this here cell."
"Like I Said, he's a wise man."
"ZACHARY!!!"
"Yes Father?!?"
"Where are you!?!"
"In the cell room!"
"Why?" He's just like his father...
"I'm talking to one of the prisoners that you told me to keep an eye on! The younger one!" His father walks in.
"Henry."
"Jessie. Good to see you again. Still stealing rotten tomatoes?"
"Nope. Apples..."
"How is Alex?"
"You guys are talking like old friends." Zach says with a confused look.
"Weeeellll..."
"He's been coming here since he was nine years young. He stole something and got caught instantly."
"Hey! I wasn't that bad for a rookie!"
"That's right. You were terrible!"
"Hey!!" His dad lets out a loud chuckle. Me and Zach just look at each other. He isn't really someone that I'd like to hang out with.
"How about you and Alex stay at my house, we'll provide you with food and everything. Just don't steal."
"Well, will goodie two shoes be there?"
"Well, he lives there so, yeah."
"Then I'll pass."
"That wasn't an invitation, it was an order."
"I really don't like you, Henry."
"Love you too Kiddo." He says, walking it the cell aria.
"Looks like we're roommates!"
"Yeah...yippee..."

Thank you all so much for reading this and I'm sorry if it wasn't good. Next chapter/part thing will be the backstory on Jessie/Alex and/or Zach. Which I don't know why Zach would need a backstory buuuut...yeah sorry. And imagine Zach as a pastel/gothic kind of person I guess. And Jessie will look like a Emo? I don't know. I'm just trying to get the general idea of what they look like. I might end up getting some pictures and using those people as what they look like. So, yeah, thank you so so SO much for reading, love you all. Bye! ❤️
