Mia couldn't sleep. Her heart was pounding and tears were flowing as if they couldn't stop.
Let it go, let it roll right off your shoulder
Don't you know the hardest part is over?
24 hours. In just 24 hours she had lost everything.
Let it in, let your clarity define you
In the end we will only just remember how it feels
Her own client had killed himself in front of her. If only she had trusted him more. If only she had tried harder. Could she have saved him?
Our lives are made in these small hours
These little wonders, these twists and turns of fate
She had cried. Mia had always been a strong person. She didn't usually cry but she has then. Calling out his name even when she knew what was coming.
Time falls away but these small hours
These small hours still remain
She had been too late. Too late to save him. All she could do was stand and stare as he admitted he drank the bottle. As his life's clock drew to a close.
"Let it slide, let your troubles fall behind you
Let it shine until you feel it all around you
And I don't mind if it's me you need to turn to
Well get by, it's the heart that really matters in the end"
She could hear Mr. Armando's words in her head. His words telling her how she could turn to him whenever she needed to.
Our lives are made in these small hours
These little wonders, these twists and turns of fate
She had walked away. The real killer walked out of the courthouse a smile masked by fake sadness. She had walked away guilt free.
Time falls away but these small hours
These small hours still remain
It was 11:55 PM. Mia could do nothing but lay and think about all the things she could have stopped. All the lives she could've saved.
All of my regret will wash away somehow
But I cannot forget the way I feel right now
This sadness would never leave. The heartbroken way she felt would always remain there, a pit in her heart that couldn't be filled.
In these small hours
These little wonders, these twists and turns of fate
Yeah, these twists and turns of fate!
Everything she thought. Everything she worried about begged one simple question. Why?
Time falls away, yeah but these small hours
And these small hours still remain, yeah
Ooh they still remain
These little wonders, oh these twists and turns of fate
Her clock clicked 12:01. A new day. A new morning. A new chance. Whatever she does though, it can't change the past.
Time falls away but these small hours
These little wonders still remain
Mia wouldn't give up. She had to do her best. She had to make Diego proud. She had to end this at any cost.
"A lawyer is someone who can't cry until it's over…"
A/N I find it ironic that today is the day Diego was 'killed' since today I finished playing Bridge to the Turnabout in Trials and Tribulations (again). I had to write something for today in Diego's honor since it's the day he dies. Not forever though, for he lives on in Mia and all attorneys who fight for the truth.
