I Love You, Mr Roberts

Chapter Two

I wake up and see that today is the day I see him. The one who I loved my whole freshman and sophomore year. I hated myself for loving him. I looked outside my window and watched as Willow walked to school. I texted her telling her I had something to do. I started to get dress into my fancy court clothes that my mom picked out.

I looked at myself in my mirror. I had on stockings, skirt that went to the knees, white button down, heels, and gold gauges in. My ear stretch wasn't too big. It was only a size 0 gauge. I started to put on some make up to look nice. I then put my phone in my little purse and walked downstairs.

"I am scared too." My mom whispers. I stop before I entered the kitchen.

"It will be public. Kids will learn at her school why she got kicked out. Why the fuck can't they make this not public." My father whisper-screams.

"I don't know." My mom says and I walk inside the kitchen.

I grab an apple and I eat it.

"What time do we leave?" I ask my parents.

"We need to leave now actually." My mom says.

    We finally get to the court house and we sit in our places. After 5 minutes, he walks out in a suit and tie. His light brown hair and light blue eyes staring into mine. I feel tears on my cheeks but I don't care. I never wanted this for him. He smiles at me and I look down at his hands. They were in handcuffs. I started crying. I put my hands on my face to hide. I felt someone rubbing my back and people whispering.

"Is that her?"

"I feel bad for her parents. Raising a slut."

"They could have never been in love."

Hearing people talking made it worse. I stopped crying and looked up. I was behind him. He was so close yet we couldn't speak, touch, or even look at each other now. The judge then walks in and so do the jury.

"Okay today we are here because this man right here had sexual relationships with a student for two years. Who do you want on the stand first, Mr. Lexington." The judge asks Julius's lawyer.

"Mr. Julius Adams to the stand please." His lawyer says.

Julius stands up and they take off his handcuffs. He then swears he will tell the truth and then sits down.

"Okay Mr. Adams, is it true that the sexual interactions were consented by the female?"

"Yes." Julius answers his lawyer.

"When did you start getting sexual active?"

"after 6 months of dating."

"Is it true that you school made a deal?"

"Yes, they told me I would fired because they didn't want it to go public."

"Were you ever going to go public with the relationship?"

... I stopped listening from there. I couldn't stand him being up on the stand. I could tell he was in pain. He never deserved this. The lawyer that wasn't on his side the stepped in to question him.

"Mr. Adams, is it true that whenever you started to see this girl she was only 14 and you were 26?" She asks.

"Yes."

This was harsh. I hated this. I messed up his life and now he hates me. He sat back down in his chair and they called me up to the stand. I walked over and did the whole saying the truth thing. His lawyer then starts to ask me question.

"Did you receive romantic or sexual invitations from Mr. Adams?"

"No, I was the one who acted upon how I felt. He consented it though."

"Did he ever make sexual comments or flirt?"

"Not until he noticed his feelings. I would flirt and make comments to tease him but he would stop me."

"Did he ever touch you in anyway you didn't want him to?"

"No he never did."

Then the other lawyer came up to me.

"Did you two have sex?"

"Yes."

"Is it true before you two were caught that you were pregnant with a baby girl?"

"Y-yes."

"What happened to your baby?"

"I miscarried." I swallow and held back the tears.

"What happened after you miscarried?"

"Julius and I barely talked. Then we started to talk again and we fell in love again."

"Did he ever abuse you in anyways?"

"No."

After all the questions, I sat back down. Julius didn't look at me once. I hated that he hated me. I didn't mean for this to all happen.

"We are going to take a break and the jury will decide if Julius is guilty or innocent." The Judge says and slams the gavel.

My parents take me to Ihop which was beside the court house. My brother drove to meet us. We sit down and order our food.

"Why are they making it public?" I ask my parents.

"Because it is already public at your school. They are putting it on the news tonight and in the papers." My father says.

"Why can't they just see that she made a mistake and so did Julius." My brother says and shove the waffle in his mouth.

"Troy, they think he is a pedophile. It doesn't ever work like that." My father says.

I felt awful for Troy. Julius was one of his best friends. He met Julius freshman year. My brother was always mature and Julius had no friends. They became friends. My brother is now 25 and Julius is now 27. I start to eat my pancakes. I ruined my brothers friendship and Julius's life.

"I should just die." I say and my parents stare at me. "I messed up his life and your friendship."

"You did not mess it up. I can visit him in jail. Anyways, I heard you did really good anyways. Maybe he will  be innocent." Troy says and I laugh hysterically.

"You are funny." I say and I eat the rest of my pancakes.

     We are finally back at the court house. I start to walk near the door but I bump into someone.

"I am sorry." I say and I look up.

"Tyler?" Mr. Roberts says.

"Oh, hi. Look I can't talk to you right now. This is bad timing." I say and move past him. I walk into the room and sit back down. Everybody is already in the room.

"Jury please stand and say if you think Julius Cory Adams is guilty or innocent." The Judge says.

"We say the Mr. Adams is guilty." The man says and my eyes widens.

       We were standing there waiting for them to tell us how long it would be for him in jail. They all walked back in and Julius didn't look too happy. He looked over at me and then back at the Judge.

"Since Mr. Adams pleaded guilty to adult sex and has to spend one year in jail." The judge says and slams the gavel.

I walk out the room with no emotions. Only one year in jail.
