**Reviews=awesome! Thank you guys! I hope everyone had a great
Thanksgiving.**
"Adam stop it!" Alanah whispers in a tone and smacks my hand off my tie.
"It's itchy!" I whine. Alanah puts her hands on her hips.
"Adam today's your first court date. Do NOT mess it up! It'll be the worst thing you could ever do."
"I'm not going to mess anything up. My lawyer prepped me up."
"Well he should have told you not fiddle around with your tie. It doesn't look good."
"Sorry."
"It's ok; there are more important things to think about." She says. I nod. I also wonder if there are more important things to worry about, why is she making a big deal about it?
"Come on Adam. Time to do this." My lawyer says. I sigh. I really don't want to do this.
~~~~~~~~
I know this isn't the best thing I could possibly do, but I haven't been paying attention to what's going on. Two people kill themselves in front of me and I get sued? I don't even see how this case got to court. What a waste of tax dollars.
"Are you alleging my client, Mr. Adam Copeland, had sexual relations with the victims?" My lawyer asks. The person the witness stand is a close friend of the so called victims. I didn't hear the name because I was zoned out.
"Yes. They would do things and then they, meaning the victims, would call me and tell me."
"What kind of things?"
"I don't want to hear this!" I yell and stand up.
"Adam sit!" Alanah says and tried to pull me down.
"No Alanah! What is this? Two people die in front of my own eyes and not only do I get traumatized but I get sued? How did this case even get considered to go to court? It's pure bullshit!" I yell, letting my emotions show.
"Adam you're ruining this! Sit!" My lawyer growls at me. I roll my eyes and sit.
"You're honor I apologize for my client's behavior. As you can probably imagine he has been under a lot of stress." My lawyer says. The judge nods. I tune out again.

"Not only was that a waste of my time it was also a waste of money! Like I said in there, it's pure mother-fucking bullshit!" I yell as I take my jacket off. Alanah slips out of her high heels and sighs.
"Adam but it's a necessary aggravation."
"It is NOT necessary! I shouldn't be held accountable for what they've done."
"But Adam you need to face your responsibilities."
"Even if I DID anything, Alanah, it's not MY responsibility! I never made anyone murder."
"Adam let it go."
"How? It's ruining my life! Because of all this shit I almost killed my best friend! Luckily he's going to live but he's in a fucking hospital! I can't sleep at night, I can't think, I can't eat, I can't fucking function!"
"There are downhills in life Adam, and there are uphills. You're at a downhill right now but soon you'll be at an uphill."
"Oh like you've had any downhills."
"What do you call being anorexic?" She screams so loud it hurts my ears.
"A downhill for me."
"You are so selfish! Why didn't I see it?"
"How am I selfish? I had to watch the person I love almost die and you call me selfish? No Alanah, you're selfish for almost killing yourself."
"Oh I chose to become anorexic! Thank you for reminding me Adam I almost forgot! Being anorexic was easy for me. I had no pain what-so-ever. I almost forgot, but thank you Adam, now I remember."
"That's not how I meant it."
"Whatever Adam. I'm going to sleep in the guest room. Good night." She says and walked out of the room. I scream and throw a shoe at the closed door.
