Addiction

Chapter 24

Jonas' POV

I buttoned up my white collar shirt before my sister called up to me saying that it was time for us to go if we wanted to make it on time. I stared at my somewhat nice appearance before opening up my door and rushing down the stairs. My sister wore a pair of jeans and a sweater and I wondered about how long this would take. The hearing is supposedly starting at two and it's currently one which meant we had to leave now if we wanted to make it with a little bit of time to spare.

My sister grabbed the keys and made her way out to the car in front of me, getting in on the driver's side. She started the car before sitting in silence, listening to the heat flow out of the vents before she finally spoke up.

"Do I even want to know what you did?" She spoke with a somber tone while gripping the steering tightly which made her knuckles grow white. I hated how she had to treat me as if I was the younger sibling of us two. She played mom for me since our own didn't want to and I honestly couldn't care less about the two watching over me like a hawk. I still disobeyed her 'rules' and lived my life to the fullest. I was for damn sure that no one would ever take that away from me.

"I didn't do anything. I don't know why I even have to go." I say while being eager to see the girls. I wanted every single memory of what I have done to them to be embedded into their brains. The car started slowly before we reversed and began our trip into the city. We drove by the familiar streets that I used to walk down with Ingrid and Eva from parties we attended in our past. I shook my thoughts out of my head, not even realizing that my annoying sister was talking to me.

"Jonas, are you even listening to me?" She spat harshly at me before I nodded my head rudely. She scoffed at me before talking once more.

"Listen dipshit. You go in, you go to your hearing and you text me when it's done. I'm gonna be waiting in the car for you. Got it?" She asked and I mustered up a quick 'sure' before the large building came into plain sight. We finally got to the large courthouse after passing the Capitol and the large library.

...

"We are hear to have a hearing for the trial of Ms. Eva Mohn and Ms. Ingrid Gaupseth versus Mr. Jonas Vasquez. Shall we begin?" A female judge stated before looking to see that my lawyer, aka Elias, was not here. Chris sat with the girls and a lawyer sat closest to Ingrid before beginning to go over exactly what the girls were accusing me for.

"Ms. Mohn and Ms. Gaupseth are accusing Mr. Vasquez for multiple charges. The main being domestic violence and child pornography for Ms. Mohn and Ms. Gaupseth is charging him of rape. Both have proof of all charges and my clients are willing to show them." The tall, lanky man stated while pointing an accusing finger towards me. The judge nodded her head before turning towards me and speaking up.

"Mr. Vasquez, where is your lawyer?" She asked with a hint of annoyance lying in it. I gave her a weak smile before swallowing the lump in my throat and speaking up.

"He wasn't able to make it today, but the day of the trial he will be here ma'am." I said politely and she nodded her head while her eyes looked me up and down in a judging sense.

"I sure hope so." She says before turning to the girls and speaking about something that was unimportant for me. I stared at Eva and Ingrid who prominently nodded their heads to signal that they understood just as the judge was saying and with a few more minutes passing by, we were released after being told that the trial would be in two days from today at precisely noon.

The girls left before me and soon after I followed out and once I saw them standing in the hall, I sauntered my way over. I smiled politely before speaking up to the bitches and their "savior".

"Very bold of you to be accusing me of such things ladies. I'm sure that the evidence that I bring within my case against you two will be stronger. Don't think that you can get rid of me so soon." I say before throwing a cocky smirk on my face and walking away. I send a text to my sister to pull up front and by the time I get out of the warm building, she is doing just as I had told her. I get in and for the rest of the ride home, silence fills the car. She drives cautiously and I stare out the window as I watch my girls and Chris walk towards the nearby parking garage.

...

"Okay let's discuss all of the evidence." Elias said while rummaging through printed paper of his. He had been busy gathering all of the facts that I had told him and was beginning to make a case against the girls.

"Ingrid got a fucking rape kit done at the hospital I'm guessing so they have that against us but one of the things that they said I was being charged for was child pornography." I stated which made Elias turn to me with a concerning look. I laughed while pulling up the video of Eva and I fucking. The video played through before any words were spoken about it.

"Dude. That's not child pornography. It's just a sex tape." He states with a laugh before writing something down in his notes and then telling me the gist of it.

"Technically all I said was that it's not child pornography since you and her are both older than the age of 10. At the age of 10 you stop using the name of a child and turn into a preteen." Elias says with a devious smile on his face.

"This is exactly why I chose you to be my lawyer. You are a genius." I say while placing a brotherly love kiss to his cheek. He pushes me off of him as my lips connect which makes me burst into a chuckle.

"Dude. I don't know what else I can do for you but relax you with this good shit I got." Elias says as he pulls a bag out of his pocket and places it within the bong. He takes the first hit and swiftly inhales before blowing all of the smoke back out as he passes it over to me. I take a long inhale and let the smoke stay in my mouth for a few moments before exhaling. The smoke relieving me of stress and suddenly I don't care about anything in the world. This whole situation is stupid and it wouldn't have ended up this way if I wasn't so demanding but at the same time everyone has their own addictions. Mine just happens to be control.
