Dallas Winston's kid sister (on hold)

Chapter 27: Court

Piper's POV

As we sat in the court room they called up everyone Cherry, Randy, Ponyboy, everyone in till I was next.

"Miss Piper Winston, how do you know Mr. Curtis and Mr. Cade?" The attorney asked. "Well I met them a few months ago" I answered dryly "and your arm, what happen?" He asked. "A cop shot me" I answered roughly "objection! You were in the line of fire!" The cop shouted "you were trigger-happy!" I shouted back at him.

"Order, order in the court" The judge said banging his gabble, I sat back down. "Anyways, seeing your Record I say you are a very dangerous person" the attorney said "dangerous please I prefer reckless" I grinned. "Yes well how and when did you hear about all this? The killing that is" he asked.

"I read about it, in the newspaper. I didn't have anything to do without" I answered bitterly. After a few more questions they started to wrap things up and asked me a few more things.

"Now Miss Piper you were responsible for the killing of Jackson Hill?" He asked. I didn't say anything at all.
"Miss Winston" the judge said firmly "yes, yes I do. I was the one killed him but he was being sent to the Electric chair anyways" I answered softly. "Yes well that doesn't give you the right to snap his neck" he said. "Well you know what? he basically asked me to, if anything it was half suicide" I said angrily. "One last question" he said.
"What now?" I asked laying back in my seat with a cool look, I didn't have any worries. I'm almost all good for this.

"Are you or are you not friends with the Curtis brothers?" He asked. I looked at them then looked down "no, no they're just some brothers that took me in for awhile, but we'er not friends" I lied answering. "Good because you no what would happen if you were" the judge said "no" I lied "well that would mean them two would be send straight to the boys home, no questions asked, no matter how loud you or anyone else argues" he pointed to soda pop and pony boy as he explained.

"No further questions" the attorney said "and we will discuss your punishment later" the judge added looking at me out of the corner of his eye. "Yes sir" I walked away. They hand cuffed me and continued with the case.
I sat on a chair in The lobby hand cuffed with two cops in front of me.

When they were done everyone came out, but I just kept my head down.

Your worthless, just some hood, nothing special. So why would anyone love you that's because they don't not your mother, not your father, not your brother, not your boyfriend, not your friends, not anyone. So why am I here?

I thought to myself.

Johnny walked over to me but the cops just blocked him. "Come on can't I at least talk to her?" Johnny begged "let me see. Do you want talk to him?" One of them asked me. I just shook my head "sorry buddy" he told Johnny with a slight shrug "Piper come on" Johnny pleaded. I looked at him with red eyes.

"Johnny your better off without me so make it easy for yourself and just forget about me" my voice wavered. "Piper don't say that" Johnny said softly trying take a step closer, but the cops stopped them. "Let him through" I said they looked at me and stepped out the way. I stood up my eyes still red.

"Why you been crying, beautiful?" Johnny asked I wiped my eye with my hand which was a bit hard with the sling on my right arm in the handcuffs too "because I don't want you leave me" I half lied. "I ain't gonna leave ya so don't be crying" he said pecking my lips I sighed "Johnny when we get the chance I gotta tell you something" I said. "Okay I'll see you at home but right now we got finish the court" he said. I pouted and groaned "we're not done?" I asked "no, now it's time see what your punishment is" he sighed.

We walked back in and I sat down waiting to hear what they gonna do to me like they could break me, not yet....

"Piper Winston I sentence you to one year in New York's federal state prison" the judge said then hit his gabble on the table once. "Okay" I said softly mostly to myself "you'll be heading back to New York in a week in till then your free go. Court adjourned" he said.
