"Ace is out already" my lawyer Ashley told me.

"You need to plead self defense. We are using what he did to your girlfriend as proof. And I got an eye witness." She said smirking.

I nodded "Thanks a lot" I said. I was sitting in a room waiting to be seen in front of a judge. They kept me in the back because news reporters were everywhere trying to get an interview.

"No problem, just be quiet and let me do all the talking. I have a couple of tricks up my sleeves." she said.

"I'm paying you top dollar so you better" I told her.

"I'll have you out of here in no time" she assured me. She walked out of the room leaving me in deep thought.

I feel so guilty for everything that happened. If I would of stayed home or never left Ken with North that shit wouldn't of happened. If I never started shit with Sweet Pea Keyshaun would be fine. Not only is North mad at me for that but I know she's even more devastated that I missed her give birth.

But I know she gone forgive me when she see the new house I just bought us. I know she gone have a ball decorating it. I'ma also have my moms throw her a baby shower since she didn't have one.

When I get out of here I'ma take time off to spend with her and the baby. But then I thought about it, I forgot all about Cameron. As much as I want to I can't deny that he's my baby. I know that's wrong but its the truth.

"Come on Thompson" the officer said grabbing me by my collar. I wanted to choke the fuck out his bitch ass but I'm trying to get out not stay in.

They drug me into the court room and sat me next to Ashley my lawyer. They did all the bull shit law talking that took what see like hours before Ashley can speak on my behalf.

"Your honor Mr.Thompson was visiting his girlfriend in the hospital after he got a call that Mr.Kenneth Jones had forced himself upon to her" Ashley started. I sighed I hated hearing that it made me want to fuck Ken up even more.

"Do you have proof Ms.Wilson?" the judge said. Ashley grabbed a file out of her brief case.

"Yes you honor, a rape kit was done on North Banks and Mr.Jones's DNA was found upon her counter and inside of her" Ashley said. I scrunched my face up. This nigga nutted in my bitch. I rubbed my hands over my face getting mad all over again.

"Okay continue Ms.Wilson" the judge spoke.

"After sitting with his girlfriend, Mr.Thompson went to visit his girl friend's adopted son who was a couple of doors down. The 5 year old boy was dropped off to the emergency room by Riley Smith .. the girl who was killed. Hours before. When Mr.Thompson was sitting with the 5 year old boy, Mr.Jones and Ms.Smith attempted to take the boy from out of the room. That's when the altercation happened between Mr.Jones and Mr.Thompson." Ashley continued.

I zoned out not wanting to listen anymore. All I cared about was getting out of here and go see my girl and son. I said a silent prayer in my head hoping that I would get out of here today.

An hour passed and I was half sleep while they still talked. Ashley nudged my arm so I could pay attention.

"Mr.Thompson is found guilty with two counts of first degree murders of Kenneth Jones and Riley Smith therefore Mr.Thompson will be sentenced to 25 years to life with a $30 million dollar bond." the judge said. 

And at that moment I felt my heart drop to my stomach as my knees grew weak. I just got sentenced 25 to life with a $30 million dollar bond, I'm never getting out. I'm never going to be able to see my kids, my parents, my brother, and most importantly North.
