"Today's the day we're taking Isa to court." - Jordan's thoughts

Parker's POV

Josh was acting out how he was going to ask Layla, I was lucky enough to be playing the role of Layla. "Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked me, I wish he was being serious. I mean, I'm allowed to see other people now, right?

"No." I said and started walking away, we were trying to see what he would do if she rejected him. "Good! The boys dared me." He said and tried flipping the little hair he has. "Don't do that." Ryder stood up and started telling Josh what to do.


I can't decide who I like better, Jordan or Josh? They were both equally hot and cute, so I needed to pick one. Right now i'm saying Josh, I still love Jordan but at least Josh wouldn't cheat, I think.

Tayler was close in my face repeating names, I guess I zoned out. "Sorry, what?" I said getting myself back together. "Are you thinking about Jordan?" He asked me, I just chuckled. "Yeah."

No.

I replied and he just shook his head. "Go get her then." He told me. "It's not as simple as that, I wanted to be her first, then he had to take that from me. I get it, he's hotter than me and she probably wants him more but I wish she would just tell me." My voice broke slightly.

Ryder and Josh came over to comfort me. "Bro, she's never going to like or love him more than you. He's a worthless f-boy who only cares about doing the dirty, at least you care about her." Ryder said, it was true.

"I don't know, I feel like I still need time because, this... this is a lot to take in." I explained, they were understanding. "She'll need time as well, just imagine what she's going through." Tayler said, I don't know why Josh wasn't saying anything but he was hugging me so I liked that.

The boys were really helpful, so I decided to try not make things awkward between me and Jordan. I was still going to be friends with her and then when the time comes, we'll get back together.

"Can we get back to my plan of asking Layla out?" Josh asked, I laughed but Tayler and Ryder stayed serious. "Don't make it all about you." Ryder told him and I just told him it's fine.

We went back to practicing and then went home. I don't know why Josh forced us to do it with him now because he's not asking her out until December. I suppose that's good, gives me plenty of time for me to shoot my shot.

Jordan's POV

4 DAYS LATER

Today is the day we're taking Isa to court. I really didn't want to do this. I feel like I need Isa, I'm going to be alone. I know I have Stella and Destiny but it isn't the same, if anything I actually want Parker.

Speaking of Parker, things are getting better between us, nothing is really awkward between us anymore. I like it, I feel like we're getting back on the right track. I miss him so much.

As for Josh, I haven't done anything to him yet. I need to get revenge. I had an idea. I was talking to Destiny and Tayler the other day (I was being a third wheel) and they said that I should tell Layla to reject him.

It seems mean but also really funny.

Right now, I'm with Josh, in the car. We're still friends, it's just that i'm not going to forget this. I'll forgive but I won't forget.

I'm actually really nervous, Isa will probably in jail in the next few hours. I'm only nervous because I'm going to have to go through this whole pregnancy thing alone.

As me and Josh pulled up at the court house, I saw Isa go in. He looked at me through the car window and mouthed 'i'm so sorry' to me. Isa actually seems like a good person deep down, I feel bad for him. I found out that Selena broke up with him because the whole school found out about me being pregnant (thanks to Josh).

"Here we go." Josh said and took my hand in a friendly way. "I'm really sorry about telling the rest of the group, Parker's really missing you though so I promise you guys will be back together in no time!" He told me and it made me smile. "I hope so." I replied.

We stood outside the court house and done our handshake before entering. I looked over at Isa, who looked like he was going to cry. It broke my heart for some reason.

"Josh, I don't think I can do this." I whispered to him and he just squinted his eyes. "What can't you do?" He asked and I looked back over to Isa. "This! Look at Isa, don't you feel some sympathy towards him?" I asked and he shook his head. "Jordan! Are you insane! He broke your relationship, TWICE!" He raised his voice a little but I told him to calm down.

"Jordan, we can't go back now." He told me, yes we can.

I just sat in silence as the judge started talking. Josh answered basically every question to prove Isa guilty. I felt so bad, what's wrong with me? Why am I feeling bad for him?

We must've been in there for an hour until the judge asked the final question to the jury, is he guilty or not. I was hoping he would be found to be innocent but I was wrong.

When they said guilty, I looked at Isa who was trying really hard not to to break down. I saw him look up to the ceiling/sky and saying a few things which I couldn't make out, I think I saw him mouth 'i'm sorry, I know i'm a failure. I love you', don't know who he's talking to but i'll let him do him.

"Isaiah Kar-Starker, you have been found guilty and now you are under arrest for sexual assault against Jordan West and for humiliation towards her." The judge spoke, sexual assault?

"Why's he getting arrested for sexual assault?" I asked Josh and he just glanced at me. "He done the dirty with you even though you said no a few times, basically a Tony Lopez situation." He said, I mean he is seventeen and i'm fourteen, okay I can see were he's coming from.

Can you object these type of things? I hope you can. "Judge." I rose from my seat. "Yes?" He questioned. "You can't arrest him." I told him. "Yes I can, he has to spend eight months in prison for reasons he was proven to be guilty of." The judge told me.

I looked over to Isa who was confused, he was already getting put in handcuffs. Isa can't be gone for eight months! I need him! "I need him, I literally have his child in me right now, he has to be there for me. I can't go through this without him." I tried telling him.

"So he got you pregnant after he forced you to do it with him?" The judge asked me and I nodded slowly, realizing that I've made this worse. "Put him in for ten months." The judge said, TEN MONTHS! "No! Please!" I begged but they were already taking Isa out of the room.

Isa looked at me as he got to the door, we locked eyes. "Isa.. I love you." I said out loud. "I love you two, good luck." He said while he walked out.

"What just happened?" Josh asked while we got in our car. "What?" I questioned. "Why did you try to prove Isa innocent?" He asked me and I just smiled. "Cause, he's a good person, he doesn't deserve this." I said, Josh was even more confused.

Anything he said, I ignored. I was honestly thinking of breaking him out of jail. Until I remembered there's a thing called, bailing him out.

I overheard the judge saying it when me and Josh walked in earlier, he said it was around two thousand to bail him out. I knew I could get the money from a few people, by a few people I mean Asher, Q and Wyatt.

I knew they probably weren't the richest people in the world but, anything will do. I need to get him out of jail, quickly.
