That night I couldn't sleep at al, and when I did I would always have the same dream. The dream consist of just me, Jackie, and a pale, white haired, with a black robe, and hazel eyes judge say "Jackie Marco-Bridges, I find you guilty and is sentencing you to the electric chair." and watch guards carry him in a back room and strap him to the chair, and wake up once they turn it on. I wake up screaming with tears streaming out of my eyes and my skinny shivering a shear fright and panic. I can already tell it is going to be a terrible day.

Today was Jackie's court date, and he's basically guaranteed to be locked up if he doesn't reveal who sold him the crack. I can't believe he's actually sticking up for that scumbag. Outside the court house, I saw Drew and approached him "I can't believe you Drew. Why would you let your son take the blame for your problems?" I asked, practically pleading an answer from him. "Because I've never cared for him. I just used him for a while to make sure I had an idiot to take what I said to heart, and he was that idiot. Just like his mother." he said with an evil sadistic smirk "You sick son of a bitch!" I shouted in his face and the smirk grew and he walked into the court. Jesus Christ, please help my boy because he's being set up!

I ran to Jackie, dressed in a black tux with a black tie, and his hair brushed back instead of it being spikes. "Jackie! Please listen to me baby you're being set up your father just told me I swear!" I pleaded to him, but all he did was walk past me and say "I've made my decision mother." and walked into the court room. God no. If I lose my son I may die of a heart break.

The court was set up, I sat on the right side with Jimmy at my side, and Drew sat on the left side. "Jackie, do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help me God." the police officer read and he nodded in agreement. "Jackie, now you've been swore, so answer this, was it you who had the drugs, or was it your father Drew Marco." the judge asked him and it was like time stopped. Jackie looked at me, seeing the sadness written on my face, and then looked at Drew, seeing the selfishness engraved in his face. "It was-" he started and then took a breath and said "It was my father. He made the whole thing up and planned to blame it all on me and I was follow it enough to believe him. I'm sorry." and the whole room gasped. I couldn't believe he actually did that. Je fooled all of us.

Later that day, they proved what Jackie was right and took him to jail to be tried. I walked up to Jackie and huge him tight as ever before. "I'm sorry mom. I just wanted my real father to be in my life that it clouded my better judgement, now I know that my real father doesn't have to be blood related. So I'm sorry Jimmy-I mean dad." he stated which brought tears to me and Jimmy cry and we all group hugged. Finally, this nightmare is over.
