chapter 60 hOly hEck

Will Had rushed out the door first. He was probably the first person out of the courtroom when it was dismissed. He looked stressed. Everything that was said, anything that happened, he put on himself. I understood why he was stressed. Anytime a personal jab was made at Naomi- his face faltered. He blamed himself for getting them to do this. Lots of personal attacks happened this session.

I sighed. This shit wasn't getting any easier. Over and over, day after day, we were in this damned courthouse. I truly didn't even see why we had to be here. It didn't make any damn sense! Tim was a shit person, give Naomi custodial rights, keep Tim in jail, and give Naomi his money - Easy! I ran a hand through my hair. "Fucking Bullshit," I swore to myself. "Absolute fucking bullshit," I walked out of the courthouse where everyone else had been going. They went ahead of me while I went to the bathroom. I didn't want anyone having to wait on me- if the twins had to stay locked up in this building for another second I was sure they would start crying.

I couldn't blame them, even I wanted to cry being cooped up in there all day.

I saw the family walking over to the little park they had. We had spent a lot of time over there recently. Whenever court wasn't in session, we were here, waiting to be called in again. However, there was one particular blond missing from the group. I didn't think too much of it, he was probably getting something from the car or what not. Not anything to get concerned about.

I caught up with the Solace family. Sydney and Mason weren't here today. Mason had something for some sport, they weren't completely skipping, they just weren't going to be here for the morning part. "Naomi," I said as I got closer.

She turned around. "Girls hold up," She said, she stopped walking and let me get closer.

"Hey." I said, she started walking again once I caught up to her.

She smiled in response. "We were just talking about what we want for lunch," She said, the girls also starting to walk again, however they were walking much faster in order to get to the playground faster. "We plan on going soon so we can grab the food, and get there early to pick up Sydney and Mason so maybe we can see him play for a bit, and still be back in time,"

"Oh, yeah, that sounds good, where's his thing at?"

"Some soccer field," She said. "I'm not sure the name, but Sydney sent me the location," She said, pulling her phone out of her pocket. "It's not too far from here and there are lots of good restaurants around the area."

I nodded. "That's good. Soccer? I thought it was Lacrosse?" I was almost certain he played Lacrosse instead, but I've been wrong before.

"No, it was soccer, you're probably confusing it with how they were talking about Lacrosse, Sydney used to play,"

"Probably," I laughed. "Either way, though, I hope we do have time to see him,"

"Me too, Sydney said he wanted us there," She said, putting her phone in her back pocket. "But, he knew we couldn't,"

"Really?" I asked. I found it strange he'd want us there. I mean, he didn't hate us or anything, but... did he really like us enough to be there at his soccer game? Less than a month ago we were complete strangers to him.

"Yeah, I didn't believe it either," She said. We were finally at the park and we took a seat on the bench.

"He's a cool kid," I said, watching as the twins ran across the sand, getting out all their energy. He couldn't blame them for having a lot of it. They were like five and being forced to sit down and stay silent, their only form of entertainment being how the light reflected off the security guard's bald head.
