Chapter 26: Court Room

~Lauren~

"Lauren, you have visiters."

I sigh, sitting up from my bed and looking at the other side of my cell. They literally put me in a cell and I was just waiting to go to the court room for my case. They made me wear this orange jumpsuit and took pics of me before thowing me in here.

The girls walk in and sat before the cell, I fold my hands and look down.

We didn't talk for a few moments. I just didn't want to see the disappointment on their faces.

"When we were together
We were just strangers
I was just playing around
So I didn't wanna work it out
No, I didn't wanna work it out

Thought something was missing
We were too different
Baby I'm a-looking back now
And I really should've worked it out
Yeah, I really should've worked it out," They sang and I smiled.

"Because now that you're gone and I sleep alone
I can't help it, I want you back 'cause I

Boy I miss you, said I really do, boy I miss you
Now I understand that we're better together
Boy I miss you, said I really really do, boy I miss you
Now I understand that we're better together," I sang and they squealed. I laugh then we finish off the rest of the song.

I smiled after we finish singing, I got up and quicly went over to my cell. I grab hold of their hands through the bars and smiled at them.

"Just remember that we will always be a band, even if I'm not in it. Always." I tell them, feeling tears come into my eyes as I look at them.

"Jauregui, time's up." A officer says and I look at my girls, I smiled at them before letting their hands go. I stoof up and went to the door, he cuff my wrists together and grab my elbow, I walk with him to the court room. He walks me to the front and I saw a lot of people here, some had cameras while other buisness. I sigh, sitting down on a chair and he cuffs me to the table, I glare at him as he stands near the door.

"How ya doin' Lauren?" I heard someone say next to me and I turn my head to them, it was Ria, my lawyer. I smiled at her as she puts a suitcase on the table and some papers. I jiggle my hands at her and raise a eyebrow.

"I'm cuff to a table, and I'm in a court room. What do you except?" I say and she chuckles, she shakes her head and sits down next to me.

 "Okay, yeah, I get it. Now, I need you to stay calm and don't lash out. Our defendant just want to make you angry and if he succeds, then your gonna get thrown in jail, hear me?" She says and I nodded.

I did not want to go to jail.

"All raise for the judge," A secruity guard says and we all stood up as the judge walks in. She waves us off and says to sit down. They made us say a few stuff before the trail started.

Hours later, I was called to the stand and didn't know if we were winning or not.

"May Lauren Jauregui please step forward to the stand." They say and I sigh, I stood up and they uncuff me from the table. I look at Ria and she gives me a thumbs up, I walk to the stand and sat down, looking at the court room in front of me.

 Our defendant, Bradley Prescott, started to ask me questions.

"Now, Ms. Jauregui, were you or were you not drunk at the night of July 27?" He asks me and I nodded.

"Yeah, I was drunk." I replay.

"And why did you decided to get drunk?" He asks me, stop pacing and look at me.

"Because I had a nasty break up with my ex boyfriend, I called him out on it, he made me mad and I left. I wanted to at least ease the pain in my heart, I thought getting drunk would do the trick." I say, shifting a little in my seat.

He nods before starting to walk around again. "And you went to that pub, where you met Devin and Adam?"

"Yes, I first met Adam, he gave me a cigar, I smoke. We smoked, Devin then bump into us as we took a glass, said he was sorry, introduce himself then Adam grab my hand. We left the pub to the tattoo parlor when I got all my tattoos and piercings. We then went back to the pub. Adam then excuse himself to go to the bathroom while I stayed there and got another drink. Devin then sat next to me, we talk for a while then we had sex." I say, looking at anywhere but him.

"And was the sex intenticonal?" He asks and I gave him a look.

"It was a one night stand, nothing more, nothing less." I tell him while my hands played with my fingers.

"Okay. What did he ask you after it?"

"He ask me if I wanted to join his gang, I didn't want to so I tried to leave. He corners me, telling me that he'll protect me and stuff. He tried to kiss me but I kneed him in the crotch, I escape and ran to the bar. But a hand shots out and stops me from getting any further. It was Devin."

"Then what did he do?"

"He ask me why was I running away, I look to my side and found a gun laying there. I quickly grab it and aim it at his chest. 'Get away from me,' I said; 'I don't wanna be involve with any gang.' I cock the gun then he says I wouldn't kill him with a smirk on his face. I say I would, he then says to don't be like that but I cut him off by taking a step back. The gun slips from my hands, and I reach for it again. I was only half drunk to not think about my next actions."

"What did you do?"

"I pulled the trigger. Once. Twice. Three times. I then drop the gun."

"Did you miss?"

"Once, blood was pouring out of his chest and side. I missed him once."

"What happen next?"

"I was suddenly push away from him, a female voice yells 'Go Lauren! Run!' I wasn't need to be told twice, I ran out of there not before hearing two other shots rang out. I ran to a deserted park, sat down on a bench, and cried by realizing what I done. I fell asleep on the bench."

"Okay Lauren, I have no more questions." He says and I stayed there while he walk back to his seat. Ria then gets up and starts to question me.

She ask me questions for a moment, asking important questions and giving out evidence we had to the judge. Before the judge could sentence me, the doors to the court room open and in ran that girl from the restaurant, the one who stab herself and said that it was all her fault for putting me into this kind of trouble.

"Wait! She didn't kill him!" She screams, stopping before the judge. Everyone gasps and I sat up straight, looking at her.

"And who are you Ms.?" The judge asks her, taking off her glasses.

"I'm Amanda, I was there the night of July 27. I witness her shooting the guy, I'm a fan really. But when I saw her shot him, I knew she'll be in huge trouble. So I push her away, telling her to run then grab the gun again. I aim it at him and killed him." She says and looks at me, I smiled at her as murmurs were heard. I'm glad she did the right thing, to help me out here before I could get thrown into jail.

It took a few moments before they got to my sentence. I hold my breath, feeling my hands sweat as I leaned forward.

"Lauren Michelle Jauregui, I hear by pronounce you..."
