I Got You

<< 34 >>

•Three Months Ago•
•Olivia•

I got word the other day that I can talk my way into getting Shayne out for at least a couple years before getting shipped back off to another concrete box.

I tried my hardest for days, talking to groups of superiors.

"Not on his charges we can't" they'd say.
"Not as soon as you'd want!"

Bullshit, that just don't want to try.

I eventually got through to some family friends who were willing to work.
As soon as I got the go-ahead I told Courtney.

"Three months?" She asked with glee.

"OHMYGODHEGETSOUTINTHREEMONTHS!?!?" She yelled as she tightly hugged me.
I had never seen her this happy before, and from all the jumping around I wouldn't have noticed she started to cry.

I held her tightly, she was very.. overwhelmed at this point and the best thing for me to do was be a friend.

"Thank you, Olivia." She whimpered, wiping her eye.

"Anytime, Court." I smiled.
At that point we broke our hug and said our goodbyes.

"I can't wait to tell Shayne" she smiled.

Courtney sat beside me, a calm yet happy expression on her face.
We were sitting through Shayne's hearing. This would hopefully be the last one of the papers get approved.

As I went to open my suitcase to hand the papers to Shayne's Lawyer I noticed something.

Oh no..
