I woke up to the sound of my alarm on my phone going off. I turned it off and went to take a shower.
  After twenty minutes I got out. I went to my closet and dressed in a pair of blue jeans and a plain white polo shirt.
  I pulled on a pair of white high top nikes and put my hair in a ponytail after putting on a white polo hat.
  I grabbed my keys off the dresser and my phone before heading out the door.
  I got in my car and answered my ringing phone.

I sat in the court room with my eyes glues to the back of trays head. I wanted so badly to get up and hug him so tight. My legs shaked as it got closer and closer to 2 o'clock.
  "I think our jury has come to a decision." the court officer said.
  He walked over to the jury whom had just came back in and took there seats.
  Tray turned around to make sure I was okay and mouthed "it's going to be okay." I shook my head as he turned back around.
