EZRAS POV

After my conversation with Hardy, I continued to drive to meet my new lawyer Veronica suggested. His name was Rick Webber and I was meeting him at his office in Philadelphia.

Once I arrived there I called his number but there was no answer so I parked on the street and went up to knock. I heard moaning and screaming and someone yelled "shit". A man I assumed was Rick came to the door with his fly down and his shirt collar messed up. He was sweating buckets. He quickly said give me a second. I was so close to bursting out laughing. He told me to sit in a chair so I sat and waited for him. Once he was fixed up he came out and apologized. I said it was no problem and everyone gets walked in on at some point in their life. He asked me what I was trying to build a case on, which I assumed Veronica already told him but I guess not.

"I'm a teacher at Rosewood High School in uhh Rosewood and and I'm 23 years old."

"Your telling me this why?" Rick said.

"Well I thought you would need to know all of the details.." I answered. This guy was rude.

"I just want to know how I have to represent you."

"I've been in a relationship with my student since the beginning of last year." I just blurt out.

"Well that must feel good to tell someone." he says. In a weird way it actually did. "So your 23 and she's ahh what freshman?" he said.

"Noooo she's a senior! She's 18. And graduation is in under 3 months." I defend.

"When did you start teaching there?"

"Last year I taught for half of the year and then resigned to teach at Hollis Collage so we could be together, and then I got fired because they stopped offering my class and I had to then finish out last year and teach this year at Rosewood." I answer.

"And the whole time you were involved.?" he asks.

"Yes the whole time. Your not going to tell anyone about this right?" I question.

"I'm not allowed to do that, tell anyone." he assures. "I just have one more question. Why now?"

"Well it's her senior year, she has prom and graduation and this sounds stupid but she wants to go with me to prom."

"I don't know what Mrs. Hastings told you but I don't really think it's worth it. If we fight this just so you can go to prom together that means everyone will know about you and if I lose the case you could go to jail. My advice would be to stick it out the next few months until graduation, stay under the radar for about two weeks and then make up for lost time." he says. I feel like screaming. I don't want to wait any longer.

"Thank you for being honest Rick, nice meeting with you." I say and walk out. I have to get to my apartment before Hardy wrecks the whole place.
