The Tragedy (TW) (Discontinued)

Chapter 9: Courtroom

Elizabeth Speaking

My best friend in the whole world.

 Gone

Pain. Pain was the only word I could use to describe the feeling. It hurt, I cried a lot, that news really destroyed me. I saw her body for the first time after she died, and I just remember thinking, like, this is not natural. She could've still been alive if it weren't for that son of a bitch that killed her she would've still been here today. I mean we lost Leo, and Carleigh. We could loose anyone else at this point. I felt sad but more so angry. Angry at him, angry at myself. I was mad at myself because I could've saved her, you know. I just spiraled emotionally at that point. I just became kinda depressed. I really couldn't even be in a building with out thinking it would collapse. It was terrible.

_________________________________________________

Who in the cast was there? Elizabeth, Phillipa, Leslie, Lin, Daveed, Oak.  Along with the families of Carleigh and Leo. The suspect, sorry, killer, walked into the courtroom. Purple, black and blue hair all in his face, and he's handcuffed. Elizabeth can feel the anger boiling in her. The longer she looked at him the more furious she got. She quickly turned her face away from him before she had an outburst. Her breathing is hard. All she could think about is that she lost her brother and sister because of a fool. Phillipa notices Elizabeth's distress and gives her a hug. "It's okay Lizzi." Phillipa says through tears. 

Everything went okay at the start of the session but once the time came to say why Jaryll did what he did, Elizabeth lost it. 

"So, Mr. Parker, explain to me what was the purpose of you destroying this building with people inside? What was your motive?" The judge asks. 

Elizabeth looks up.

"Um well," Jaryll smiles. 

That freak.

Elizabeth feels like she is going ballistic, going to blow a fuse. 

"I had a bit of beef with the manager and owner. I tried scamming them, didn't work. When they saw me again, they start punching me, so I decided to ruin their business by destroying their building. Hoped people would've sued them." He continues.

 Elizabeth finally broke. 

"Bitch you killed my best friends. You frickin killed them just to get revenge!" She screams.

 Elizabeth tried to attack him, tried to destroy him. 

Lin and Phillipa jump up and try to calm her down as Elizabeth continues to scream. 

"You frickin crazy, doing nonsense like that!" She wailed. 

The security holds her back and remove her from the room. Once she gets to the hallway she sinks to the floor hollers out a loud cry. Loud enough for the people outside to hear her. Seeing her react like that left the room quiet. 

Phillipa physically shaking. 

Leslie and Daveed in literal shock. 

Oak with his head down in tears. 

Lin goes out to help Elizabeth. 

What. Just. Happened. 

Did Elizabeth Judd, one of the calmest, quietest, sweetest people in the world, just try to attack a man? 

You can't blame her though, he killed her best friend. 

Everyone else did a speech explaining their grief and anger. Then came time for Phillipa's speech. One of the most heart-breaking but powerful speeches they've ever heard. 

"Leo and Carleigh. They were the most precious souls." She pauses for a second before getting emotional and then takes a deep breath. "They were always happy, always taught us to be happy. Now they can't do that anymore. My question is why. Why. I want you to look me in the eye and tell me why you took them from me, from us. Now their lovely parents have to live without their son. Lisa has to live without her husband Leo. Camryn has to live without her sister Carleigh. We have to live without her best friends." Her voice breaks. "So thank you, thank you for that. Now your ruined my life, you ruined their lives. Now they're dead, DEAD. Elizabeth attacked you for a reason, they should've let her get to you cause she would've given you frickin' good ass-whoopin'.  'Cause you deserve it. And Lord forgive me but I hope you rot in prison for the rest of your damn life. I hope you rot in hell 'cause boy you frickin deserve it." She cries. "That's it. That's all I have to say to that idiot. She walks away from the podium.

We all hope he gets what he deserves.
