Pivotal

20. Think

Aerin Creer

Two months later

"So on the days that he would hit you, what would you do?" The DA questioned me as I sighed.

"Nothing, I would lay there and cry out for help but no one heard me." I told him truthfully.

"What would you do, that would make him want to hit you?"

"Nothing at all, if he got mad or drunk then he would do just that; hit me."

I've been sitting in this court room for three weeks now they still haven't came up with a verdict they keep pushing dates back and sending me to different jails.

This whole thing has been a mess.

"I think that's enough." The judge eyed the DA and the other lawyer as my ex sat in the wheel chair paralyzed from the waist down.

"Ms. Creer I am aware that you did kill somebody about six years ago correct?" He told me as I nodded.

"Hmm, and it was from self defense right?" He asked me as I nodded again.

Sitting on the witness stand tired and ready for them to tell me my sentence I yawned again.

"This hearing has been prolonged way too long. The facts are there." The judge announced as I nodded.

"I'm charging Aerin Creer with attempted murder. She will be serving three years with good behavior 18 months. She will be doing her time in the Fulton county jail."
He announced through the speaker aa he banged the gabble and the guards came and grabbed me as I standed up and eyed Justise who has appeared every court day and I really wanted to know why.

The guards took me out to the van as I just rolled my eyes at the cameras flashing.

Sitting in the back of the van uncuffed as the guards just drove towards jail. I sighed as I started to eat my subway sandwich that I wiggled to ask him to get me.

"You better roll my blunt for me too." The guard said as I waved him off.

"I will just let me enjoy my last real meal please."

"Mm."he said as I kept eating my food.

Watching the cars pass us and the trees wave at me I felt a little at piece.

I felt less crazy.

"We're here." The driver announced 8 hours later.

As they took me out the van I looked around and inhaled the air as I walked towards the door.

Opening the door for me I laughed as I felt like some queen or princess. Like I had a purpose in life.

I followed the guards to the room where I stripped out of my clothes and put my jumpsuit on. Sliding the slides on my feet as they took my picture and finger prints.

"Enjoy your time inmate." The lady guard told me as she handed me blanket and everything I needed for my cell.

Another guard grabbed me and took me to my cell as I got inside he closed the door and I looked around and put my stuff on the bottom bunk.

"The top bunk is mine don't touch it." A voice said as I looked up and saw a older lady as I nodded.

I didn't know I had cell mate but I wasn't complaining.

"What you in here for anyways?" The older lady asked.

"I'm in here for attempted murder."

"Oh soo, you an bad ass?" She asked me as I shrugged.
