When we entered the court room Steven was sitting there and I cringed. I wanted to walk our to him and kick him right between the legs. He took two innocent lives. I was no longer scared I was mad. Shannon took the stand and told his part of the story. After hours of being there the jury finnaly reached a verdict. Guilty. I knew he would be but I was so happy to hear it officially. Shannon hugged me and said "it is all over." I kissed his cheek and the judge asked if I wanted to say anything to him. I stood up and said "yes, please." I walked over and said "I hope you realize you have ruined lives, took lives, and did it all for no reason. I hope you feel guilty the rest of your miserable life." Shannon and I left and drove home. I was so angry. The next day I went to the cemetary to visit Grace's grave. I brought flowers and sat them down. I stood there in silence for a minute and then said "justice was served for you. I am so sorry this happened to you." I touched her grave and then walked back to my car. I got in and sat there and cried. I felt so bad. I was emotionally unstable. I felt all kinds of emotions. I was happy Steven would be in prison the rest of his life. I was angry that he did all of this. I was sad people died because of him. When I got home I heard Shannon drumming and I went upstairs to take a nap. I woke up to Shannon kissing my cheek. S"Hey I am sorry I didn't mean to wake you up." Me"It's fine." I smiled at him but he could tell I was still upset. He crawled in bed beside me and I rested my head on his shoulder. I broke down again. I told him what I was feeling. Me"I feel so crazy." S"You are not crazy. You have every right to feel the way you feel right now." I deciided that going back to work might make me feel better. I met with new clients and started working on new songs. I tried to get my life back together. I knew Shannon and I would be getting married soon and I was ready to start this new chapter of my life with him. I had to learn to let go of the past and do my best to get over everything.
