Jo's POV.

'Maybank wake up, we have to go to court.'

He rubs his eyes.

"My head hurts."
'I wonder why.'
"Why is there a flip flop in the bed?"
'I don't know now get dressed.'

I smile. He gets up and comes up to me and pulls me close.

"Good morning sunshine."
'Morning'

He kisses me. I pull away.

'Stop stalling, get dressed now.'
"Okay mom."
'Don't call me that.'

He laughs and gets dressed. We head out and meet with Kie, Pope, & Sarah. We get to the court and I see my brother. We all sit down. I see Ward and give him a look. He looks at me and turns away fast.

Judge: "John Booker Routledge perused to the North Carolina Statute section 14 you are charged with murder in the first degree aggervated circumstances if convicted the maximum sentence would be the death penalty."

I look at JJ. He looks at me and grabs my hand. I look at Sarah and grab her hand and squeeze it. JJ gets up

"Your honor he's seventeen."
'J don't.'

They walk off with John B

"Hey John B we're gonna figure it out."
