Sugar Coated Love

Chapter 19

"In the case of Mr. Folly vs Mr/Ms/Mx L/n, we have decided that he be found..."

I suck in a breath, Sidney grabs my hand again and holds it tight.

"Guilty on all counts."

Air escapes my lungs, and I feel tears beginning to flood my vision as weight falls from my shoulders.

"This includes one count of stalking, two on assault and battery, and one for attempted murder. For the counts of stalking and assault and battery, the decision was 10 years in custody, while for the attempted murder, the decision was 30 years. In total, our final decision is 40 years in jail, no ability for parole as the defendant has shown no remorse or regard for his actions."

"Are you fucking kidding me?!"

I jump in my seat, whipping my head around to look in the direction of the outburst. On the other side of the room, David is standing, hands planted on the table. His face is red, every part of him tense.

"I didn't even fucking do that much to him/her/them!"

"Mr. Folly, now is not the time for your outburst," the judge glares at him. "Please sit-"

"Shut up bitch!"

My eyes widen and I stiffen when his burning gaze turns from the judge to me.

"I didn't even do that much to you! And if you had just fucking listened to me everything would have been fine!"

David's lawyer tries to get him to sit, pulling at his shirt, but he doesn't listen. "David-"

David jerks from his grip. "No! I didn't fucking do anything wrong! They fucking deserved it! And him/her/them sending me to prison is just proving that!"

"Guards, please detain him, court is adjourned," the judge looks over to me, flashing me a sympathetic smile. "I am so sorry this happened to you. I hope you are able to move on and have a better life."

"Thank you."

"No fuck you!" I turn my gaze back to David, who is being forcefully dragged away from the table. "I'll kill you! I swear, Y/n, I fucking will!"

And with that, he is pulled from the courtroom. I stare at the door for a moment, half expecting him to come rushing back in. Only, it never happens. Everything is just still.

At least for a moment.

"Honey!" And I am tackled, getting a face full of wavy, blue hair and a face pressed into my neck. "You did it! He's gone!"

"Holy shit," I mutter mostly to myself, wrapping my arms tightly around Jisung's waist. "He's actually gone."

My other soulmates make their way towards us as I bury my face into Jisung's hair. A relieved laugh tumbles from my lips. "Oh my god, I'm done."

A hand rests on the back of my neck and a soft kiss is placed on the crown of my head. "You're done, beloved."

I sigh. "You know, I'm kind of tired."

Soft giggles spread through my soulmates.

Chan speaks up, his lips still pressed to my head. "Makes sense. Want to go back to the house?"

I nod, beginning to pull away from Jisung. "Yeah, just let me go talk to my friends and then I'll be good to go. I'm going to take the best fucking nap when we get back."

Jisung, albeit reluctantly, lets go of me and I wander off towards where my friends are standing.

"HE FUCKING LOST!" Is what I'm greeted with, followed by a bone crushing hug from Jace.
