"In the above entitled actions we find the defendant...

Guilty...Guilty...Guilty...Guilty.

Pete Wentz you are hear by inprisoned for four years and during those three years you will have no contact what so ever with the minor Patrick Stump."

My heart stopped, four years without Patrick. Four years were I can't see him even when he turn eighteen.

"Take the defendant away."

"Pete!" Patrick yelled running towards me.

"Patrick..." I pushed the guard away trying to get to him. Before I could reach Patrick there were two other guards blocking his way. I wanted to do something, but more guards were coming in holding me down I tried to fight them off.

"Wentz stop this now or you'll only hurt yourself more!" the Juge yelled.

At this point I didn't care. I just wanted to get Patrick and run. I tried to get free again. The court room was nothing but chaos.

"Take him away now!"

"Are they going to take me now?"

"Yeah, In a couple of minutes. You'll be transferred into a prison. Sorry I couldn't be much help."

I shook my head. "Don't be Dallon you helped me out a lot even though I think I made everything worse. The worst part is that I didn't even get to say goodbye to Patrick."

"Don't worry about that I'll make sure no more years are added to your sentence."

"Thanks."

"I'll be visiting you soon, maybe I could tell you about what's going on with Patrick?"

"Yes, I would like that a lot."

"Okay, I'm gonna go and see what's up." I nodded in response.

"Wentz someone is here to see you."

I looked up and it was Patrick's mom.

"Make it quick" the guard told her.

"What are you-"

"Four years isn't enough for what you did but I guess it will do. I came by to tell you that you'll never see Patrick again I'm sending him far away."

"You can't do that..."

"Yes I can Patrick is still underage."

"And what we he turns eighteen your not the boss of him then?"

"Anything can happen in four years Wentz. By then Patrick could have found himself someone better. I mean your not the only man in the world."

"Pete it's time to..." Dallon says walking in. "Its time."

"Bye Mr.Wentz hope never to see you again." she says storming off.

"Are you okay man?"

She was right anything could happen in these years. I didn't want Patrick to forget about me, but I didn't want to be selfish and not let him move on with his life.

Case open, case shut,
But you could pay to close it like a casket
Baby boy can't lift his headache head
Isn't it tragic?
