This week had me going insane the trial for Cheryl had begun my parents were informed of the state taking on the case while my siblings, friends, fiancée and I were on vacation. I wasn't expecting this to be brought to the light again after all the bullshit I just wanted my life to go back to normal again. I was in a good place mentally and physically I didn't want to have to relive that night again.

I was going to have to speak in court giving an account of exactly what happened the night I took someone's life, the night of the prom since that was the catalyst that set Cheryl's plan in motion I guess. I just wanted to get this done and over with. Toni knew how on edge I was, I knew she was too since she too would have to speak in court giving details about Cheryl's blackmail that I probably didn't even know. My parents and siblings made sure both Toni and I knew we were supported by them to the fullest.

It was almost time for us to leave and go to the courthouse where we would be put through the ringer for hours. I decided to go a little more dressy than I normally dress per request of the states attorney. This was more my mom and Veronica's style so they did the shopping for both Toni and I. They picked out an all red pantsuit for me with a black lacy top to go underneath and for Toni an all black pantsuit with a red lacy top to go underneath. I curled my hair and did my makeup while Toni did the same to herself.

We were both quiet this morning but our kisses spoke a thousand words. I know she was scared of the things she would be revealing today. After we were both done getting ready we locked up the house got into my new Audi R8 and made our way back to Riverdale. I grabbed her hand while my other hand was on the steering wheel I brought my lips to her hand and pecked it a few times.

"I know you're nervous babe, what happened with her is in the past. The day I put this ring on your finger was the day we started a clean slate. We're stronger because of all of this bullshit and we'll be stronger even after all of this. Just know you're the love of my life, my soulmate and nothing is going to change that ok? I love you babe." She kissed my hand and nodded "I know baby, but I just hate all of this is happening now. We just got engaged we're happy. I just don't get why they would start a trial for her now after all this time has passed. But all I know is that bitch better get what she deserves if you wouldn't have fought as hard as you did you wouldn't even be here now and that's what pisses me off to no end."

As I got closer to the courthouse I got more and more nervous. To say I didn't think about that night at Pop's would be a lie, but I did my best to try and block that night out of my mind aside from the talk my mom and I had that night. Even though I probably wouldn't be needing it my mom of course got me a lawyer the best one in New York that flew out specifically for this trial. Once I found a parking spot Toni and I made our way to find my parents, siblings and lawyer so this whole fiasco could begin.

"Hi mija, how are you feeling?" My mom asked as soon as she saw Toni and I. "I just wanna get this over with and move on from it all." She nodded in understanding and brought me into a tight hug as she kissed my head multiple times. My dad did the same and whispered soothing words in my ear. "Don't worry J and T, we're here for you both we have your backs one hundred percent." Both of my siblings said as they hugged us. My mom said my lawyer was meeting with the DA and we needed to have a quick meeting with them before court began.
