"Secrets I have held in my heart
Are harder to hide than I thought
Maybe I just wanna be yours
I wanna be yours, I wanna be yours..."

Evelynn sat in between Luca and Kirsten, her face was deadpanned as she stared ahead.
After John B got arrested, the rest of the group's parents were called to come get them from the station. A few days later, John B was called for trial.
The twins, along with Evelynn, had to sneak out of their houses to attend court, their parents not wanting their daughters to be anywhere near the pogues after they got caught up by the police.
Luca's parents didn't mind much, they even offered to drive him to court after finding out his car was left in Charleston. Marc and Lori were happier to find out that their son and his friends were all safe.
Marc was extremely upset about the car. But they were happy to know everyone was safe. Mostly.
Now, the group of friends sat in the middle row of the court, surrounded by people who were far too nosy for their own good. Their bodies pushed close together, almost as if they were hinting that they trusted no one but each other.
And that was true.
The boys had the girls sit in the middle of them, refusing to allow their girlfriends and friend to be anywhere near people who were going against John B .
"John Booker Routledge, pursuant to the North Carolina statute section, you are charged with murder in the first degree with aggravated circumstances." The judge spoke, "If convicted, the maximum sentence would be the death penalty."
The smack of the gavel was what set off the clamoring of the court.
"Is she serious?" Evelynn's voice came out unexpectedly.
JJ was up in an instant, "Your Honor, he's seventeen!"
"Quiet."
"He's seventeen! Are you kidding me?"
Pope attempted to stop him, "You're good."
"JJ, stop it." Luca spoke up, watching Sarah push her way through the crowd as the security guard took John B away.
"Hey, John B, we're gonna figure it out." Luca called out, earning a very unconvincing nod. John B knew that even if he didn't make it out, Luca would take care of the group.
He hasn't been apart of the group for very long, but nearly getting shot for them made it seem like he'd been there from the start.
"John B! John B!" Sarah cried, reaching out for him, only to get pulled away by a guard.
