Pen Pals

Chapter 1

Joey's P.O.V.

    "Guilty," the judge said slamming down his gavel. All the blood rushes to my head as I stand up.
   "Joey I," my attorney says to me but it is too late. The policemen come over and place me back in the cold, harsh metal cuffs that I was hoping to never have constricting my hands again. This is it. This is my fate. This is my life. I begin to get tunnel vision as everything starts to all fall into place. I was framed. 

   You see, I had the greatest luck one day to be present while my best friend, Meghan, murdered someone. It was all so sudden and I didn't know what to do because she ran and the cops were on their way. So, I just stayed there. Obviously they began to question how the hell I knew all about the murder but I said I wasn't the actual murderer, but it was my friend. They didn't believe me and i'm sure you can almost guess word for word what happened next to me. My life is a prime example of being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Or maybe it's just saying that I should've gotten the hell out of there instead of being honest and telling the cops that my friend murdered the man.

   "Judge Taylor, i-i'm innocent. You're giving me a false acusation. I didn't kill that man. Please," I say as the men begin to push me to the door.
   "One more word out of you Mr. Graceffa and I will not only hold you for your 20 years plus a few extra for contempt, " the judge just says as he walks out and I begin to feel like i'm going to vommit.

   The policemen begin to push me towards the door as it swings open again and a very handsome man knocks into me.
   "Fucking watch where you're going you little bitch," the striking man spits in my face. I normally would be furious at this moment but for some reason I just loose myself in his beautiful emerald green eyes.
   "Leave him alone, Daniel," the officer restricting the man, who I assume is Daniel, says slapping the back of his head. The officers holding me chain me to the benches and chain Daniel to the bench across from me while they talk. I can't completely hear their conversation but i'm sure it is about us. I look back over to the gorgeous man and he is just stairing into his lap, avoiding my gaze.

   "How did that slap feel, Daniel?" I say to the beautiful man sitting on the bench across from me. Whenever I say his name his head shoots up and he just glares at me.
    "You've got alot of nerve don't ya mister... mister... mis," he obviously is searching for my name.
   "Joey. My real name is Joseph but my mom found that way too formal," I say to Daniel. Just the thought of his name makes me squirm.
   "Joey. I like the sound of that," the officers come back over and unhook us from the benches so Daniel can have his trial and I can go rot in jail for 20 years. I hope I see this guy again but obviously I won't considering my luck and I just got convicted of a crime I did not do.
  
   "I'll see you around, pen pal," Daniel says with a smile and a wink as the officers jolt him forward towards who I assume is his attorney.
   "See you around," I say biting my lip, smirking at how unbelieveably gorgeous this man is.

   The officers push me out of the court room and I am placed in the cop car again, on my way to hell.

They aren't going to be writing eachother letters... or so I think. Anyways, the first few chapters may be extremely short but I have to feed in some plot before it starts for real. Thank you all so much for reading and how excited everyone seems for this story because I know i'm extremely excited! See you next update!
