Ash's pov
Monday morningI spent the weekend in a holding cell in the juvenile detention center. The bed was hard and cold and you were in a cell all by yourself it literally drove me crazy.
"King" An officer yelled banging on the cell
"Ugh fuck" I groaned rolling over
"Let's go. Time for court" he said
I got out of the bed letting my feet touch the cold concrete. I had this orange jumpsuits on that was oversized and used. The white lettering on the back was cracked and my sleeves were kinda rolled up from me being short. I slid on these ugly black crocs they give you and walked over to the cell door.
I put my hands through the opening and he handcuffed me and walked me down the hall into the police car down to the court house. I don't know if Mia and Rico are gonna be Their but I hope they are.
"Ashton"
"You my lawyer?" I asked
"Yes. So this case Is gonna go quick your gonna plead not guilty and answer any questions" She explained
I nodded and went out their. I could hear my case number being called over in the room and their was a bunch of people in the jury. I looked out trying to see Rico and Mia and I did they were in the very back but they were their.
"Ashton king how do you plead?"
"Not guilty"
"Your charged with attempted murder that led to murder with a deadly weapon"
My heart dropped. Fuck. Attempted murder that led to murder. He must have bled out after we left him their. I couldn't even believe what he was just telling me. How did they link me back to this crime. If Jake was alive would he be facing the same shit I am.
I looked up at the sky almost to be like why god. I didn't know why this was happening to me. I was getting stuck in this gang life and this is what Jake was warning me about.
"Do you have anything to say Mr.King?" He asked
"Your honor, I didn't know that he died. Whatever happened to him wasn't enough to kill him" I pleaded
"He had three gun shots to the chest and a crack on the side of the head with a handgun that the police have tracked back to you" He said "So Ash you plead not guilty still?"
"I-I"
I didn't know what to say I looked at the crowd and back at my lawyer who was shaking her head to say yes still. I went with what she said and plead not guilty again
"You could serve life for something like this" she said looking up at me
"Please your honor I just turned 15 a couple days ago" I begged
"Your only 15" she said shocked
"Yes and I've learned from my mistakes I have a-"
"Be quiet" she snapped.
She waited a few minutes before she said something. I was thinking about how I was so young and had my whole life a head of me.
"You could be changed as an adult for this. You have a lot of charges. Something like this is gonna land you on death row"
"Woah wait" I yelled
The audience gasped and I could hear Mia cry from behind me. Theirs got to be some mistake. Death row no way. I turned around and Mia was crying into Rico's arms and I wanted to punch him in his face for being that close to her.
"You killed someone. You were already wanted by the police for previous gang activity" she said "Case closed"
I couldn't even breath. I felt like everything was in slow motion. The cops pulled me inside and they suddenly were treating me like I wasn't shit. I was a little kid I was only 15 I just got sentenced to death row.
"We're transferring the inmate"
They didn't have a death row in the juvey so they were transporting me to the ACI to the death row ward. I couldn't even digest all of this that was happening right now. I never thought I was gonna get a death row sentence.
I was trying to see Rico and Mia somewhere while I was outside getting put in the jail bus. I didn't know what to even say in this situation I just wanted to see Mia and I wanted to be off death row. I didn't wanna die while I'm only 15 I wanna see my baby be born and spend her whole life with her.
"Sit back Ashton it's gonna be a long ride" The officer said
They sat me in this seat next to someone else. He was facing forward and looked tough. He had tattoos all on his neck and his hair was kinda short, eyes brown and sparkling. He had this goatee that was short and he had to be 18-19.
"Max" He said once I sat down next to him
"Uh Ash" I said watching the guards carefully
They put a clip from the handcuffs into this loop in the back of the seat and closed the door and locked it. We were locked in these little areas with each other for god knows how long.
"What are you facin?" He asked his gold teeth showing on the bottom
"Death row bro"
"Tough man so am I. Double homicide at a playground"
I breathed out. " dam man"
"Yeah bro what'd you land on death row for?"
"I shot this guy and he ended up dying. I was also on parole and broke it. Plus I'm in a gang and have all these drug charges and shit. The judge was a cunt and I'm hoping they'll take me off death row at my next hearing" I prayed
"Same bro I don't wanna serve life I'm only 18"
"I'm 15 bro tell me about it" I said lowly
