Erika's POV
I felt my heart race. My palms were sweaty.
I couldn't control myself. Tears running down my cheek.
Judge: has the jury made a decision?
Jury #8: yes your honor.
Judge: proceed.
Jury #8: on the murder of the first degree, the defendant is innocent, on the charge of the police brutality the defendant is guilty.
Erika: no
Judge: the state of Seattle thanks you for your service, on the defendant, you will serve 4 years in prison.
Everything hit me. My child needs his dad. This can not be happening.
Erika: your honor, please.
Judge: and who are you
Justin: Erika no.
Erika: he's.....he's the love of my life. He also will be leaving a child behind. A month old child. Please your honor, reconsider.
Counselor 2: there was no mention of a child your honor.
Judge: this is news to both us.
Counselor 2: with all do respect your honor, this case will put all of us in danger is we don't get that child in a medical-
Judge: ENOUGH counselor. This child will already have one parent taken away, mother to mother, you are lucky I'm not putting this baby is a medical center to get tested. I will warn you. You leave the state, they will try to go after you. I suggest you stay here. That's all I can do for you. Court dismissed.
she got up and left.
Justin: I don't want you to visit me. I don't want him to see me in there. No matter the cost. I don't want even you to go. It's going to put us threw hell.
*Slap*
I grabbed my purse and stormed out.
Erika: don't follow me.
Pattie was shocked. I grabbed Wren and took off.
I was pulled back.
Jason: the hell is your problem?
Erika: I'm not in the mood Jason. Back off.
Jason: don't do anything stupid.
Erika: let.go.of.me
He tested me.
Erika: you've never seen me blow up, trust me now is not the time. Let go of me.
Jason: don't do anything stupid.
*slap*
His head turned. He faced me, his cheek bright red.
Jason: lucky my momma raised me right.
Erika: are you implying something? Because if so, you lucky your baby momma is still in a hospital bed.
His eyes widened.
Jason: you have no heart
Erika: and you have no balls.
Clenching his jaw, he balled his fists.
Erika: I told you to back off. You out of all people should understand me. You don't have the one you love with you. Mine was just taken away from me.
Jason: you think I don't understand you? What world are you living in? It's not the 1970's don't be so dramatic
Erika: excuse me? "Dramatic?" You think I'm being "DRAMATIC?" I WILL SHOW YOU DRAMATIC. LOSING THE ONE PERSON YOU COMPLETELY TRUSTED WAS SENTENCED TO PRISON WHILE I HAVE TO RAISE THIS CHILD ON MY OWN. FEELING LIKE EVERYTHING WAS JUST RIPPED OUT OF YOUR SOUL. HURTS. IT FUCKING HURTS. There, that was dramatic. Have fun with your baby momma in a coma asshole.
Wren began to cry. Taking him outside, I got in a cab and left home.
Erika: there there baby, I'm sorry. Mommy lost her temper a little bit.
He began to close his eyes.
Driver: where to?
Erika: 285 8th Avenue North
He drove off. Thinking about everything. It's only 4 years. Right? They fly pay.
Yea if your crack.
4'years without Justin, Wren...what did I get myself into?
Arriving at my apartment, I put Wren to sleep and just drank my pain away. I know I shouldn't and that I can right now. But honestly I could give two fucks.
Justin's POV
Feeling like I was going to pass out. This is it. Whether I'm a free man or I'm a prison man.
Judge: has the jury made a decision?
Jury #8: yes your honor.
Judge: proceed.
I closed my eyes.
Jury #8: on the murder of the first degree, the defendant is innocent, on the charge of the police brutality the defendant is guilty.
Judge: the state of Seattle thanks you for your service, on the defendant, you will serve 4 years in prison.
Wren was all I could think about. My kid will grow up with a dad. Slightly pushing me to the back. I heard Erika
Erika: your honor, please.
Judge: and who are you
She's going to make it worse.
Justin: Erika no.
Erika: he's.....he's the love of my life. He also will be leaving a child behind. A month old child. Please your honor, reconsider.
Fighting back the tears. I felt a knot in my throats formed.
Counselor 2: there was no mention of a child your honor.
Shit shit shit.
Judge: this is news to both us.
Counselor 2: with all do respect your honor, this case will put all of us in danger is we don't get that child in a medical-
Judge: ENOUGH counselor. This child will already have one parent taken away, mother to mother, you are lucky I'm not putting this baby is a medical center to get tested. I will warn you. You leave the state, they will try to go after you. I suggest you stay here. That's all I can do for you. Court dismissed.
she got up and left. Erika was left there. She turned around and walked up to me.
Justin: I don't want you to visit me. I don't want him to see me in there. No matter the cost. I don't want even you to go. It's going to put us threw hell.
*Slap*
I was not expecting that.
She grabbed her purse and ran out.
Making the cuffs tighter, they pinched my skin. Slowly making my out back, I heard yelling.
I know what I said was hard on her. But I really don't want to see her when I'm here. It's just going to fuck her up even more.
I don't my son to see me as a bad guy either. It's going to be hard to explain it to him.
Sitting in a room waiting to be given a orange jumpsuit and sent away to a prison.
Well, there's nothing I can do now...
