She's a Criminal

The day before court

Jordan's POV
"Jordan I expect you to be on your best behavior. While in LA." Mom says "Okay mom I will." I say hugging her as she kisses my cheek. Lacey and I had somehow convinced my mom into letting me spend a weekend up in LA with her. I hadn't told her about Alex and I dating just yet. Since she had just gotten used to the idea that I was Gay. She just barely let me put up a poster of models in bikinis in my room yesterday. So I figured I'd give her at least another month or so. I waved Goodbye to my mom as I pulled out of the driveway and started following the path to Officer James' house. I had visited a couple of times before since Demi is now a guest at their home. "Dad! Jordan's here!" Cody Officer James' Son says as he runs to hug me. I scoop him up and smile at him. "Hey little dude what's up?" I say to the 5 year old. "Nothing just playing with my cars." He says as I smiled and messed with his hair as I set him down. "Hey Codster come on we gotta set up for the next race." Demi says as we go inside. "Well there's a sight I'd thought I'd never see. A 24 year old playing with toy cars." I say "Hey it's for the kid,kid." I say as I chuckle. "Oh hello Jordan so nice to see you again." Mrs.James says "You too Mrs.James." I say smiling as I hugged her. "Would you like something to eat or some water?" She asks "Um some water would be great thanks." I say smiling as she went into the kitchen. I sat on the sofa as I saw Officer James come out of the bathroom in casual clothes which I was still getting used to not seeing him in his uniform. "Hey Jordan so you all packed?" He asks "Yup now I just need to get you and Demi to LA." I say as he chuckles "Right. So I'll be following you close behind so Jordan no reckless driving." He warns. "Aw dammit and here I thought I'd finally be able to be in a speed chase." I say as Demi chuckles. Mrs.James comes back with some water for us and sits next to her husband. "Cody why don't you go watch some cartoons in your room?" Demi suggests. "But I really want to finish this race." He says pouting. My heart. So cute! "Hey bud tell you what you go watch cartoons for a bit and when we are done. Me,You and Demi will all race against each other how does that sound?" I ask "Yeah!" He says excitedly "Okay then go watch an episode of Spongebob we won't be long I promise." I say as he smiles and runs off to his room. "You're so good with him." Mrs.James says "Well I had to babysit my little cousins last summer to make some cash and I just love kids." I say as Demi sits next to me on the couch. "So Jordan,Demi. I've been talking to both of the Lawyers and they both have good reasoning behind their claims." Officer James starts. "Okay what's the claim that The asshole is putting against me?" Demi asks While Officer James glares at her. "Sorry." She says shrugging. Officer James sighs. "He's claiming that You have somehow sexually harassed Jordan as well." He says "What the hell?! He can't Fucking prove that!" I say getting angry. "I know that's why I thought it was best to let you know that so if his Lawyer starts asking you certain questions like 'Have you ever spent the night with Demi in a hotel room?' Then you immediately deny it without sounding defensive. You think you can manage that." He says I take a deep breath and nodded. "Okay good. And I have some more bad news." He says "Great." I mutter under my breath. "The actress that had been there the night Demi was arrested has said that she no longer wants to speak at the trial." He says "Just Fucking great. That was our only lead!" I say "Not necessarily. Jordan you were a minor when you met Demi." He says "Okay so?" I say "So you can prove that I'm not done psychotic bitch who Rapes kids. You can prove that I'm innocent kid." Demi says "I can?" I ask "Yes you can. So it's all up to you Jordan." Officer James says. Demi grabs my hand and smiles at me. "You can do this kid. I believe in you." She says I take a deep breath and nod. "Okay. I'll do it." I say as Demi smiles and hugs me. "Thank you kid." She whispers in my ear. "Anything for you Dems." I say. Once we finished the race I promised Cody we were on our way to LA with Officer James behind us in his cop car. "What are you thinking about kid?" Demi asks as we were currently in LA traffic. "Just about tomorrow. I mean what if I crack under pressure. What if I mess up and say something wrong." I say "Jordan don't worry about it so much. You'll do just fine babe. And like I said I believe in you. I know you'll say the right things. The jury would be idiots not to believe you." She says I nodded knowing she was right. Officer James went to find a hotel for him to stay while Demi and I drove to Lacey's apartment. "Jordan!" Lacey says as she runs and pulls me into a bone crushing hug. "Hey don't break the kid Lace." Mason says as Lacey let's go. I gave Mason a hug while Lace went to attack Demi with her bear hug. We went inside where another pair of arms wrapped themselves around me. "Hey baby." A voice that belonged to my girlfriend says. I smiled as I buried my face into her neck. "Hi. Long time no see." I say as she laughs "More like 3 months. I missed you!" She says "I missed you too!" I say kissing her she smiled "Alright stop being so cute! It's disgusting!" Nate says "Nice to see you too Nate." I say hugging him. "You know you love me." He says I heard squealing "oh no not again." I say as a body tackled me to the ground. "Jordan it's so good to see you again!" Cassie says "You too Cas but i kinda need to breathe." I say as she laughs and gets off of me. "So guess the gangs all here huh?" Demi says "Yep! And someone needs to open up her presents." Alex says sitting next to me on the couch. "Demi come on and help me." I say knowing that Demi sometimes felt left out. She smiles and sits next to me and helps me decide who's to open. I got a penny board from Lacey and Mason. A surfboard from Nate. A flannel and a vinyl from Cassie. Now I was just about to open Alex's gift. It was small box so I shook it like I did with all the others. "Just open it you dork." Alex says "but I'm your dork!" I say kissing her. I open the box and it revealed a bracelet with a key charm on it. "Aww babe. It's cute I love it!" I say hugging her. As I let her put on my hand along with the Little Dipper bracelet that Demi had given me for Christmas. "I have one just like it but mine is a heart charm. So I'm kinda giving you the key to my heart." She explains. "That's the cheesiest thing I've ever heard." Demi says chuckling I flip her off and kiss Alex. "I promise to protect your heart from any harm that comes your way." I say. As the day turned into night Our friends left to get ready for tomorrow. Lacey and Mason had just gone to sleep and Demi and I were now in the guest bedroom laying down on the bed just staring at the ceiling. "Demi are you still awake?" I ask quietly. She turns to face me. "Can't sleep either huh?" She asks I shake my head. She opens her arms signaling me to come closer to her which I do. She wraps her arms around me and kisses my forehead. I start to feel tears forming. "Why do I feel like this is the last time we are going to be in this position." I say "Because you're scared of what might happen tomorrow. " Demi says I bury my face in her neck as tears stream down my face. "Jordan don't cry. I promise it's going to be okay. Hey look at me." She says I look into her soft brown eyes. "Jordan I'm promising you right now that this is not the last night you'll spend with me. We'll have plenty more I promise." She says brushing a stray hair from my face. "We just have to get through tomorrow. But after that we are free to hang out whenever you want to." She says "Promise?" I ask she smiles and nods. "I Promise Kid." She says I take a deep breath and inhale her scent. "Get some rest kid. You'll need it for tomorrow." She whispers I nodded but before I went to sleep I just felt the need to say one more thing. "I love you Demi." I say I could hear her smile and gently kiss my head. "I love you too kid."
