"Not guilty!" The court says and the biggest grin on my face appears.

I immediately turn to my side, hugging Carl.

"Thank you." I say.

"I have a treat for you after this." He smiles.

Later on, everyone gets dismissed. Now Carl and I are sitting in his car, heading to somewhere. He hasn't told me where, so...

We pull up to a big skating rink and I notice all the cars parked outside. One of which I recognize of Harry's.

I throw the door of the car open, running towards the door of the rink. I haven't seen Harry in nearly a week.

It shouldn't be that big of a deal because he goes on tours so often for extended periods of time.

But, I'm still excited.

"Surprise!" The rink erupts with voices, followed by a, "Mommy!"

I laugh, crouching down and opening my arms for Darcy as she runs to me.

"I missed you so much." I murmur into her hair.

Just the thought of her being here, in my arms again..

There was a chance. A 50/50 chance of me getting thrown in there for the rest of my life.

I don't know how long, but a week is even long to me..

But what sucks, Is it's still going to be on my record. I have a criminal record, even though I didn't do anything.

I feel a hand on my shoulder and look back with tears in my eyes, seeing the blurry figure named Harry.

I wrap Darcy around my hip before standing up, crashing into Harry's arms.

"How was jail?" He jokes when we pull back.

"It wasn't that bad, but I was probably treated differently.. Oh! Guess who was in there?" I ask, really wanting to tell him.this story.

"Who?" He asks.

"Brooklyn. You know? The one that was with me whenever I was in that hospital?" He goes quiet and I know something's up. "What?"

"Darcy why don't you go and talk to Amber and Mia, huh?" Harry suggests and she nods, sliding down from my arms before running after the couple.

"What's wrong? What happened?" I ask, confused.

"Mia, Brooklyn.." He starts. "Brooklyn has been locked up for the past 10 years.."

"No.." I laugh dryly. "She can't be, she was at the hospital whenever.." I trail off.

"You were never at the hospital." He sighs. "You fell into a coma. It was induced by how much drugs and alcohol you had been taking.

"I told you everything, though. I gave you updates on Darcy and-"

"No! You're joking?" I stare at him. "Please tell me you're joking."

He's joking, he's pulling a prank on me.

"I'm sorry, Mia." He apologizes.

"Then how do you know Brooklyn and Katlyn?" I ask, looking for answers that fit this philosophy.

"Brooklyn was an old girlfriend of mine. She was crazy, so I broke it off. Soon after, she was accused off murdering her dad.

"And Katlyn died 3 years ago. It was.. The court claimed it to be drowning, but.. Their are theories."

"What kind of theories?" I ask.

"This isn't the right time." He grabs my hand, leading me to the desk. "Let's just skate."
