A New Chapter Begins...

Part 108

'You get back to the room just in time. The jury has come back, but they want to ask you one more question to solidify their verdict'

Jury: y/n, we would like to ask you one more question

You: Of course

Jury: We would like to know how severe your anxiety is

You: Oh, well it's bad for certain things

Jury: What are those things?

You: Whenever my family shows up, I find out they did something horrible, or if I don't know where they are

Jury: How have the past few months been?

You: Like absolute hell. It's the scariest feeling in the world not knowing what's going to happen when you walk out the door

Jury: Thank you, y/n. Judge, can we get 30 minutes?

'The judge nods and everyone sits and waits for them'

You: Did I do okay?

Mr. Holland: You did fantastic!

You: Really?

Mr. Holland: Yeah. You stayed strong, and you answered every question they threw at you. You should be proud of yourself y/n

You: Thank you, Mr. Holland, for everything...

'The jury finally comes back. You start to tense up not knowing what they are going to say'

Mr. Holland whispers: Take a breath, it's okay

You: I'm trying

Mr. Holland: It's going to be okay

Jury: We've reached a decision

'Everyone in the room goes silent'

Jury: We the jury find Mr. and Mrs. Stark guilty of all charges against them

'For a minute it felt like time stopped'

Jury: As the judge, you are each sentenced to life in prison, without the possibility of parole. We are adjourned

'You turn to Tom and start to cry'

You: We did it!

Tom: Yes, we did...

'As you hug him you say...'

You: Now we can start our family...

Tom: Really?!

You: Yeah. I wanted to know they would be gone first

'Tom spins you around and you hold him tight'

Harrison: Ehm

You: Thank you both so much. And I've got some more news...

Harrison: What is it?!

You: We're ready now...

Harrison: For what?

Kristen: Shut up!

You: I was waiting for my family not to be an issue

Kristen: I can't wait for this

Harrison: Ooh, I'm an idiot...

Tom: You are, but we still love you

Harrison: Alright, let's head out

You: How many people are going to be out there?

Tom: Probably more than this morning

You: I can't...

Kristen: Come on, you just have to walk

Harrison: Keep an eye on Tom the whole time

Paddy: Are we still getting ice cream?

Sam: I would like to know that myself

Harry: Me too

You: Yes, we're still getting ice cream

Tom: If we ever make it to the car...

Harry: Jesus

Sam: There are so many people out there

Paddy: Holy crap!

Tom: Language!

Paddy: Sorry Cap

'You all laugh and as you get to the front door you freeze. You can feel yourself stressing and panicking again'

Tom: Hey, come on

You: I can't. Give me a minute

Tom: What do you need?

'You open your arms and he wraps you in a tight hug'

Tom: Better?

You: Much. Alright, let's go before I change my mind

'You begin to walk through the crowd, and you keep your head down even though they're asking you a ton of questions'

Mr. Holland: I'm sorry everyone, but we are going to celebrate as a family. All we ask for is privacy and space. Thanks

Tom: You're pretty good at that dad

Sam: Wonder where he learned it...

Harry: Yeah, I wonder...

Tom: If you're implying me—

Mr. Holland: You'd be dead right

You: Really?

Mr. Holland: Yeah. Our lives changed when he became Spider-man

Sam: Paparazzi followed us everywhere

Harry: Even when Tom wasn't around

Paddy: I liked it for a bit, but after a while, it became really annoying

Mr. Holland: So, I stepped up to protect what was left

You: That's so amazing, just like all of you
