Chapter 17

Chapter 17: "Mr. Mithzan, please sit down!"
Rachel:

Today's the day. Today is the day I have to face the man that obliterated my future plans. He ruined my life. I can't have a family and this kills me to know it's his fault.

I wake up to the sound of "New World" playing since that's my alarm. I quick turn it off and sit there for a second, thinking how badly this will go..

I decide to finally get up after 5 minutes of thoughts and hop into the shower. After all that I get dressed, dry my hair, and do my makeup.

I'm just finishing up my makeup until I hear a knock.

I walk down the stairs mopey and sad. I walk up to the door and sigh. I pull it open and find John, Corey, Jake, Adam, Alesa, and Max.

"W-what are you guys doing here?" I say with a stutter in my voice.

Adam holds my shoulder to comfort me, knowing I'm not looking forward to this at all whatsoever.
"We're coming because we're witnesses."

Max lightly smiles in attempt to cheer me up but I just look down and nod. I move to the side of the door so they can come in.

"I-I'm almost done. Cmon in."

They all come in and sit down to talk as I finish. I hear them talking about how it will go and I feel more and more uneasy about it...

--Time skip; Court.--

Shit. This is it. I get to meet the man who shot me.

We walk in the doors and everyone from the office except Max, Adam, and I sit down. Max, Adam, and I sit by the judge.

"Mr. Dahlberg. What happened on the day Rachel was shot?"

Adam explains the whole thing. Max trying to save him and me trying to save Max. The judge nods.

Max stands up and rolls the video footage from the office that day, I had never seen it yet, and I'm scared to say the least...

It shows it's so fast, and it's so agonizing to watch it again.

But even worse, they play it again.. but slower to see what happened.

I start to cry because I know what the effect of him shooting me was.

I feel the few tears rolling down my cheeks and I look to Jin to see.

No remorse in his eyes, I can't even seem to tell what he's thinking.

They finally stop playing the clip, but continue to ask parts of the story.

"The amount of time he spends in jail depends on the amount of damage done. Rachel."

She looks me dead in the eye for a solid 30 seconds, seeing my red, puffy eyes.

"Are there any effects that Jin cause in your medical health?"

Fuck, this is not how I intended to tell Max.

I look over to Max who's hands are together in front of him because he is calm. But he notices I look over at him.

He uncups his hands and looks nervous.

I look to the floor.

"Rachel. Answer the question."

I look back at everyone, with confusion and worry.

I take a step forward but continue to look at the ground. I can sense my tears rolling in. And I continue to cry harder.

"T-There was one m-medical problem h-he had caused."
