**3 months later**
After three months sat in a lonely cell, it has all come to this. Dad and Leo visited every week, Leo told me about his video games and dad told me about school. The past few months in this cell have taught me that lately we have been ignoring Leo a bit, when I get out that's going to change.
I step out into the box, I scan the room for dad and Leo but instead I spot Allie and Floyd, I roll my eyes at Floyd and keep looking round until my eyes land on dad.

The court started I had to say that promise to say I wasn't going to lie, I wasn't going to anyway. I prepared myself to answer the exact same questions they've been asking me since the crash.
"Justin Fitzgerald, is it true that you had a sexual relationship with a fifteen year old girl?" The women asks (I'm guessing she's Allies lawyer)
"Yes." I answer
"Tiffany Westbrook consented this relationship." My lawyer says
"Where's your proof?" The woman says
"In her diary, he read it." He says pointing to Floyd who just silently nods, keeping his head down.
"Carry on." The judge says.
"You stole your fathers car, didn't you?" The woman asks
"Yes, to go to London." I reply
"Which is where you were planning to take Tiffany Westbrook, which she didn't want." She says, I stay silent and look away trying to conceal my anger and fear.
She turns to the jury "can I just remind you that Tiffany was only fifteen, still a child."
"You make it sound so unlike it was." I mutter shaking my head
"So how was it? The crash? Your relationship? Everything." She asks raising her eyebrows
I take a deep breath and say "I met her at the start of term as my step sister, about two weeks later we were home alone and we kissed, we kept it secret because we knew it would turn out like this-" I don't get to finish because Allie interrupts me, seriously, can she not keep her mouth shut, she had her time to talk about me, now it's my turn.
"It didn't have to turn out like this! If you could keep your hands of my daughter for two minutes! We wouldn't have had to make you stay away." Allie shouts
"Someone get her out," The judge points towards the door and she marches out, I can't help feeling relieved "carry on Justin."
"We went to the beach one time and when we came back Floyd was outside, Tiffany thought he had her diary, turns out he did and he knew about us. We told Allie and my dad and they didn't except it, my dad did but Allie hated the idea tried to stop us from seeing each other. So after a few days I decided we should run away, to London. Only I didn't see that Tiffany hated the idea. When we were in the car she grabbed the steering wheel and we fought over it then the car hit the bridge and the railing fell and she was gone." I say
"I think I have enough evidence to support my case." She says. I look around to dad I can tell by his expression that he knows it probably won't turn out good.
"Court retire, we will be back tomorrow." The judge says

I'm marched of straight back to prison. I enter my cell and face the wall, I'm not supposed to be in here, how could something that was so great turn out this disastrous?

**the next day**
I enter back into the court everyone who was here yesterday is here again, they may as well have placed bets on me being found guilty, the odds aren't exactly in my favour.
"How has the jury found the defendant?" The judge asks
"We have found Justin Fitzgerald guilty of all the charges." They say. I feel my heart drop, I immediately look for dad and see tears in his eyes and I find tears in my own.
"Justin Fitzgerald the jury has found you guilty of theft, abduction and rape," the judge says "I'm sentencing you to six years in jail."
I feel my heart fall and hit the bottom of my stomach, my knees go weak and I feel numb, I let the tears roll down my face. Every year I spent working at school suddenly pointless, everything I wanted for the future vanishes and I'm left a hopeless wreck. The police take me back to prison and back to my lonely cell.

Even after all that's happened one thing I will never regret is my relationship with Tiffany, I just wish I did things differently.

A/N
So this is the end, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone that's read, voted and commented on this and I hope you enjoyed it. I enjoyed writing it a lot. I know this chapter wasn't very accurate of what happens in court but I wasn't sure how to write it.
Also if you have any fanfic requests for the future then comment them, I really want to write more :)
Byee x :)
