(Romeo's POV)

Riva told me there wasn't much we could do until the trial but it's now been 12 days since Drizzy has been arrested and 11 days since Josh... passed away. I wish I was able to be there but once I left the visiting room with Drizzy, James called and gave me the news.

Riva said that without evidence that Drizzy didn't do it, it's going to be that much harder to clear his name and since Josh died from his injuries he's going to be charged with murder.

She also gave the option of throwing Billie under the bus but no matter how mad I am at her, I'm not going to do that. She's my best friend and I know she only did it to try to protect me.

This whole thing is just a prank gone wrong. I wish he'd only stay for a few days because of his bad prank idea, Billie too. 

James walks over to me in his nice formal attire. "Are you ready?" He asks me.

"Who's ever ready to go to a court appeal and a funeral on the same exact day?" I give him a dry smile. Marcus pats my shoulder trying to cheer me up.

"It's true," James nods. "I'm just hoping this day will be over with quickly. We'll just go from one thing to another and soon we'll be back home, hopefully with good news about Driz and good, happy memories of Josh." This time, I nod.

We sit anxiously after the court debate. Riva and Drizzy fought their hardest in this and we all really need some good news right now.

"The court rules..." Judge stands and drags on the anticipation, "Dresden Jackson has been found guilty--"

"No!" I yell accidentally and Marcus squeezes my knee in support and probably to tell me to shut up.

The judge continues unfazed, "--on accounts of second-degree murder and assault. He is hereby sentenced to ten years in prison and a fine of $5,000." She hits her gavel to the stand.

The four us rush and stand as near Drizzy as we can. "Drizzy, we're gonna visit you at every point that we can. Okay?" I say.

"Don't exhaust yourselves." He says as they try to get him the cuffs but he slyly brushes them off. He grabs me-- a little roughly and kisses me causing me shock. "I needed that to-go and tell Billie I need to speak to her." He lets the guards put him in cuffs and they drag him off.

"Wait!" I call out but they just drag him away and the door closes.

I turn back to the group who are all looking at me in a little shock-- except for Marcus who's smirking. "So..." Marcus says, "I told you he liked you."

"S-Shut up," my face turns red, "and anyway, we have bigger this to deal with and more stuff we have to do today. C-Come on!" I grab Marcus's hand and drag him out of the doors.

The funeral was surprisingly lovely, everyone really pulled through and made a beautiful ceremony for Josh. Everyone he knew was there and as a partier, it was a ton of people. It was fun too, we knew Josh would've wanted it to be.

"Romeo," Riva says as she stands next to me at the reception, "look over there. That's weird, right?" She nods toward a group of doctors standing in the corner.

One's crying and the other's are frantically chatting amongst themselves.

"...Yeah... ...I think so. ....Or not. I don't know." I shrug.

"I know Josh was probably their patient but do they go to the funeral of every patient?" She asks.

"Unless they have a service that involves it," Draco says.

"What hospitals do that?" She asks.

"The ones of the future."

"Maybe Josh was their favor-- No--" I pause. "What if they did something?"

"That's what I'm thinking." She agrees.

"Like what?" Draco wonders. "Josh isn't really dead and they're storing his body somewhere under the hospital and trying to make sure no one has found out?"

"Stop watching movies," I pat his shoulder. "Do you want me to go try to hear what they're saying?"

"No, I've got it. I just wanted to confirm I wasn't going crazy." She starts walking but I stop her.

"Please, let me do this because I am going crazy." I walk in a different direction and eventually try to pass the group as I try to act inconspicuous.

Doctor one sighs, "They aren't going to read the autopsy. The trial is over."

"I just don't want to get sued." Doctor two says.

"How are they going to sue us if they don't... know..." Doctor one glares at him.

"Guys!" Doctor three exclaims. "You're so loud!" His eyes graze me and I walk a bit further but still close enough. He begins to whisper. "Can we please get off this topic and have a normal conversation? It's either that or we leave." The others agree and I walk off.

I make my way back to Riva and Draco. "Drizzy didn't kill him," I catch my breath. "The doctors are covering their tracks so that they won't get sued."

"Did you get that in recording?" Riva asks.

"I... was supposed to get it in recording?" I ask. She sighs and I smile as I hold up my phone. "Kidding! Of course, I got it in recording! I watch spy movies!"

"Oh! Okay! So you can watch movies and I can't?!" Draco asks playfully. "Aight, I see how it is." I just playfully roll my eyes and play it back for the two of them.
