Alright Price its time lets go. Chloe groaned as she got up from her bunk. Thank Christ finally!

Tasha giggled. Good luck Chloe i hope for the best.

Chloe hugged Tasha. Thanks and when i get out and when you get out we should hang sometime.

Tasha nodded and smiled. I'd really like that thank you, you've become a really good friend Chloe.

Chloe smirked and followed the guard. See you on the other side!...


Chloe entered the room and was escorted to her spot in front of the judge. She looked around and saw her family friends and girlfriend sitting on her side of the courtroom giving her their support. Chloe smiled a bit as she watched Kate blow her a kiss and Victoria giving her a thumbs up. She looked at the jury. No one she knew then she looked over to the other side of the court room and her eyes narrowed. Victoria's father was sitting behind the prosecutor smirking at her. I'll give you something to hella smirk about.

Just then the judge entered the room and the bailiff announced. All rise for the honorable Judge Weston.

Everyone stood and after the Judge sat down he said. You may be seated.

Everyone sat down again and the Bailiff continued. The court is now in session. People vs Chloe Price on multiple counts of burglary in the first degree, multiple counts of assault in the first degree, multiple counts of possession and selling illegal substances, multiple counts of breaking and entering, multiple counts of trespassing in the first degree and one count of manslaughter in the first degree.

At that last part everyone in the room gasped and Chloe panicked and stood up abruptly. Manslaughter!? thats bullshit!

The judge banged his gavel. Order! Miss Price calm yourself one more outburst like that and i'll have you detained understood?

Chloe clenched her fists and slowly sat back down. Yes sir.

The judge nodded and continued. Wheres your Lawyer miss Price?

Chloe took steady breaths. I don't need one iv'e got nothing to hide.

The Judge shrugged a little. Very well have it your way. The prosecution may proceed.

The prosecutor stood up. Thank you your honor ladies and gentleman of the jury what we have here is a very unstable young woman who's been in trouble with the law on multiple occasions and her actions led to the death of Maxine Claufiled.

Joyce immediately stood up gaining everyone attention. That's not true My Chloe would never hurt Max!

Judge banged his gavel. Order! Ma'am i will not tolerate anymore outbursts the next time it happens again i'll have you removed from the courtroom understand?

Joyce sat back down silently seeping. Victoria grabbed Kate's hand in reassurance as Kate looked about ready to burst into tears as well. The prosecutor continued. Thank you your honor, now then as i was saying Chloe is to much of flight risk to be out in public as such i call my first defense David Madsen to the stand.

David slowly stood up and walked over and sat next to the Judge and the Bailiff sworn him in. The prosecutor walked closer to him and asked. Mr Madsen will you please tell the courtroom your relation with the defendant.

David took a deep breath and Answered. Im David Madsen and Chloe is my step daughter.

The Prosecutor nodded. And how would you say your relationship with each other is?

David took a few minutes to speak hating to tell how it is. We've always been like fire and water i tell her something and she goes and does the complete opposite we've always had arguments.

The prosecutor smirked a bit. I see, and is it true you had to take her into custody on more than one occasion?

David nodded. Yes.

The prosecutor stepped away. Nothing further.

The Judge nodded and turned to David. You may return to your seat.

David did just that and looked over at Chloe with an apologetic look.Don't worry step douche i don't blame ya. Chloe thought.

Then the Prosecutor asked for Joyce to come up. Mr.s Price can you please tell us about your daughter.

Joyce spoke immediately. Chloe is a great daughter, i'm proud to be her mother.

Chloe smiled. mom...

The prosecutor continued. You love your daughter yes but how do you see her not as a mother?

Joyce fought back the tears. Yes she has done some dumb things but what teenager hasn't? besides she was going through a tough time.

You mean with the passing of your husband?

Joyce nodded and wiped her eyes. She was so young when it happened, she just lost her friendship with Max and not soon after lost a father too my poor baby was in pain, then i met David and i thought maybe having him around would help Chloe like it was helping me but it didn't.. She wanted her daddy back not some replacement as she saw David as, thats when she really started acting out.

The prosecutor nodded. Then she started getting in trouble with the law, and doing drugs correct?

Joyce just nodded. He smiled. No further questions...

But she's changed. Everyone turned back to Joyce. Yes she was childish and immature but she's changed over the school year she's the daughter i always remembered she's my precious baby and even though i don't accept her past decisions i do gladly accept the ones now. She turned to Chloe. I love you honey more than any words can describe im proud of the young woman you've become.

Chloe smiled and rubbed her tears away. I love you to mom...


The next person called up was Mitch. So Mitch you were Chloe's boss correct?

Mitch chuckled. Were? you make it sound like i've fired her, i actually can't wait to get her back.

Chloe beamed. I still have my job!

The prosecutor wasn't expecting that answer. You mean you actually still want her under your employ?

Mitch nodded. Yeah, to tell you the truth business went down a bit since she's been gone. she's friendly, humorous and out going with the customers. She's never late only called in during a very bad time, does her work good, doesn't question me and she get's me more customers why wouldn't i want her back?

The prosecutor took a moment to find his words. Alright lets go back to the beginning when you first met Chloe why did you hire her in the first place?

Mitch sighed. Yes honestly when i first saw her walk into my shop asking for a job i was skeptical. I mean i heard of all the things she did, never graduated..but she practically was begging for the job, said she needed money to hep pay for her girlfriends school semester. Now since she had a reason like that and plus everyone deserves a chance so i decided to hire her and oh boy am i ever glad i did Chloe is one of the best employee's i ever had.

Chloe saw Mitch giving her a thumbs up. Damn it Mitch your going to make me cry you asshole.

Mitch continued. Plus i need her out so she can tell me how she was able to snatch "two" hot girlfriends.

The room went into a chuckle and Chloe shook hr head with a smile. Same old Mitch.

The prosecutor was done with Mitch. Alright next id like...Kate Marsh to the stand. Chloe knew she didn't have nothing to worry about now at least she hoped so.

Kate was sworn in and the prosecutor didn't waste time. Kate Marsh how are you today?

Kate fidgeted a bit. Im..ok i guess.

The prosecutor continued. Kate Marsh from what i've heard you had a very rough school year.

Kate shook a bit remembering ll the bad things over the year. Yeah i did..but Chloe was there for me..she took care of me.

Chloe smiled at Kate who smiled back. And you knew of her past..delinquency?

Kate nodded. Yes but i understood where she was coming from, she was hurting and didn't know any other way to express it.

The prosecutor got a little more pushy. She had her mother, her step father, she could have gone to counseling.

Kate fidgeted a bit under his hard gaze. Well..yeah i guess but..

She didn't have time to answer as he interrupted. But what? She had so many options to choose from but instead chose to get herself in trouble with the law, doing drugs.

Kate swallowed a lump in her throat and tried replying. She was hurt..people sometimes do dumb things while in pain.

The prosecutor pushed more. Like jumping from lover to lover? i heard she had a habit of that to, what if she's using you just like her past so called "relationships".

Chloe gritted her teeth. That son of a bitch.

Kate's eyes started getting misty. No..she'd never do that she loves me and i love her.

The prosecutor looked thoughtful. Are absolutely sure? how can you be so positive? What could it possibly be that you believe.

Kate snapped. She loves me! She saved me from committing suicide after Max died and that video of me went up! She comforted me when i was sad or depressed! She went through so much just to make me smile! She taught me so much about myself! She saved me from that whack job Jefferson than was there for me every second of everyday when i was healing from that nightmare! She helped me graduate this year she showed me what it means to live life to the fullest! In my book thats what someone who truly loves you does!

Kate ran out of the wittiness stand and ran to Chloe. Chloe caught her as Kate ran into her arms sobbing. Victoria had her hand over her mouth trying not to cry. I almost caused her to commit suicide? oh my god Kate..

Kate's family who was also they're were also trying not to cry except her mother who looked up at the Judge with pleading eyes. Please can we take a break..please.

The Judge sighed and nodded. Alright we'll take a 15 minute recess.

He banged his gavel and as soon as he did Victoria ran to them and held Kate from behind sobbing. Kate im so sorry im sorry im sorry.

Chloe let a few tears roll down her cheeks as she tried soothing Kate and Victoria. Shhh its ok, we don't blame you Tori its ok, and Kate i love you so much not for one second did i think of you as just a fling i love you both to much to do that.

Kate finally calmed down and spoke. I love you both so much.

Please let this be over soon i just want to go home and cuddle with my two favorite angel's.
