drugs || CG [COMPLETED]

eighteen

*Alysa's POV*

The car ride to the trial was silent. All the Gallagher's filled into the car. I have never felt like such a stranger to them than I do now.

Fiona parked and we got out. It felt as if everything was in slow motion. As we entered the court room everyone fell silent.

I found a seat next to Debbie. I sat down and took a deep breath. I never expected the next time I saw him would be like this.

The doors opened and the guards guided him.

His hair was longer than it was last time I saw him and it was in cornrows.

(I'm bringing the cornrows back bitch^)

He was a bit taller and he wore a navy blue jumpsuit that read "JTDC" on the back.

He smiled at his family and when his met mine his smile faded to see me with a frown on my face.

He sat down in the chair and directed his attention to the judge.

"Case 237 is now in session." The judge said slamming down the gavel.

"Carl Francis Gallagher arrested at the border of Chicago and Indiana for possession of marijuana." The judge continued.

"How does the defendant plead?"

"Guilty." Carl responded.

"That's not the answer I was looking for." She said.

"I lost everything I ever cared about... There is no reason for me to be here." He replied looking back at me.

"That sounds like a personal problem. I sentence the defendant to 1 year in the Chicago Correctional Facility." The judge finished slamming her gavel down once more. The police officers quickly stood up and grabbed Carl.

The lead him towards the door. He quickly glanced back at me and his family but looked away when we noticed.

*a few weeks later*

"I'm here to see Carl Gallagher." I said to the lady at the front desk. She gave me a quick nod and picked up her phone to call the guards.

When she finished the call she told me he would be there in a minute and showed me to the visitation room.

I thanked her and she left me to be alone with him.

*Carl's POV*

"Carl, you gotta visitor." The guard said knocking on my cell.

I got up and followed him to the visitation room.

I thought it was probably Fiona since she was the only one who visited me regularly.

But I was surprised when I got there that it was Alysa.

*Alysa's POV*

I picked up the phone and he did the same.

"Now you decide to come visit me." He said rudely.

"I've been busy." I replied.

"With what? You're new boyfriend?" He asked.

"Actually yes and with school." I said making him ball his fists.

"Good for you." He said blandly.

"Carl, we were destroying each other. And you left so I could move on." I said.

"Yeah but it's hard to hear about someone you love being with someone else." He said quickly.

"When you get out we can be friends but nothing more. Max is really good for me and I think I love him." I replied.

"Visiting time is over." The guard said walking in to get Carl.

"Goodbye Carl." I said putting the phone up and watching him being brought back.

Only friends sounds alright.

The book is over :,( but I might be coming out with a sequel so get readyyy
