A Tragic Love

Finally

Today , I'm Either Guilty Or Not , And I'm Scared .

It Was Already 10 Something , Andrew Was Already Woke , Dressed , And Ready

I Got In The Shower , Ate , And Got Ready .

" You Weren't Gonna Tell Me That I Was Sleeping Late " I Said Coming Down Stairs

" Nope " Andrew Said Getting Up From His Sit At The Counter

He Walked Up To Me And Kissed Me .

" Andrew " I Said

" Yea " He Asked

" What Are We " I Asked

" We Are Humans " He Said Sarcastically

" Andrew " I Laughed

" I'm Joking , We Are Whatever You Say We Are " Andrew Said

" So If I Say We Are Married , Are We " I Said Smiling

" Yes " Andrew Said Smiling Back At Me

" So If I Said We Are Friends With Ben- " I Started To Say

" No " Andrew Said

" Well , We Are Dating " I Said Smiling

I Walked Away Before He Could Say Something .

" Claire " He Screamed

" Don't Call Me That " I Screamed Back

" BABE " He Screamed

I Ran Back To The Kitchen

" Yes " I Said Softly

He Laughed

" You Ready To Go " He Asked

" Yes " I Said

We Left -

——

We Got To Court And Got Settled In .

" We Have Looked Over This Case , Developed Our Decision " The Jury Said

I Just Sat There Shaking And Thinking , What If I Go To Jail .

" Your Honor , We Have Footage Of What Actually Happened On The Night Of Bryan's Death " Scott Said

I Looked At Her With A Confused Look .

" Um Your Honor - " Beaty Started To Say

" Footage Accepted " The Judge Said

Scott Walked To The Tv And Put The CD In , The Video Started .

I Looked At The Video Then I Saw Bryan Hit Me , I Flinched

I Could Feel Everyone In The Court Room Flinching Also .

The Video Showed Me Running From Bryan .

I Looked Down , Then Behind Me , I Saw Andrew Trying Not To Look Away From The Video.

I Could Tell He Was Hurting , He Hated This .

I Looked Back At The Video , I Saw Me And Bryan Rolling On The Floor .

Then I Saw My Hand Move Under The Bed .

I Looked Down Before I Saw Myself Shoot Him .

I Covered My Ears And Closed My Eyes.

I Could Still Hear The Loud Gun Fire Go Off.

I Kept My Ears Covered And My Eyes Closed .

It Got Quiet In The Court Room .

You Could Hear A Bird Flying From How Quiet It Was .
