Their Style

Chapter 11

Ava's POV

We all sat in the court anxiously. Meghan's court date was today and a very painful, gut wrenching pit in my stomach gave me a bad vibe about the outcome of the case.

I held Shawn's hand. He gripped on to it tightly, "It's going to be okay" he whispered.

Jack and Meghan sat on their side of the court.

On the opposite side of us there she was. It was her, the snake that got Meghan in trouble in the first place. Lydia.

Her light blonde hair was pulled up in a high bun. She wore dark clothes that made her light pasty complexion more lighter. Her ugly, green, snake eyes glanced over to Meghan's side of the court.

"All rise for honourable Judge Rivers"

Out came a tall woman draped in a long black robe carrying a small gavel.

"Let the case of the murder of Jasmine Jourdain begin" she slammed her gavel, "Meghan Morrisseau has been charged with murder in the first degree"

"My client pleads not guilty" Jack stood up.

"Alright Mr.Dawson make your case"

We were a good hour or so into the case, when the other lawyer, Mr. Monroe, called his first witness.

"I would like to call Lydia Garcia to the stand"

Lydia Garcia? As in Adam Garcia?

Jaiden leaned over and whispered, "Did he just say Lydia Garcia?"

"Is she related to Adam?" Rianna asked.

"Maybe that explains the whole situation" I added.

"If Lydia is related to Adam, should we be scared?"

All of us were quiet.

Lydia made her way to the front of the court and in the witness box. She took the oath and began to answer questions.

"Can you tell me how you came to know how you knew Meghan killed Jasmine?" Mr. Monroe asked.

"It all started when I owed my ex-boyfriend, Dean, a favour. He needed me to find out how a friend of his died" Lydia began, "A few months into finding some information on Jasmine's last where bouts, Meghan became more distant. Then Dean told me that Meghan confessed to killing her, under the influence of drugs. And out of fear of being the next victim, I called the police"

"And you believed Dean?"

"Yeah, I knew Meghan hung around with my very troubled cousin, Adam"

Shivers ran down my spine at the sound of the name.

"Does that make her your cousin?" Olivia asked Jaiden.

Jaiden shrugged, "I don't know"

Lydia continued her story, "Adam struggled with drugs, they made him do things completely out of character. So Meghan could have easily killed Jasmine thinking the whole experience was a dream"

Meghan gulped.

"With that being said" Monroe grinned eerily, "I would like to call Dean Widow to the stand"
