*2 months later*
*Laura's POV*
It has been 2 months and 2 months has it been since I last heard from
or saw Jesse. I really miss him. Today is his trial to see if they
are gonna release him or make him stay 4 years in jail. I hope and
pray that the judge will side with Jesse and see that he is innocent.
I walked into the court room and I saw Jesse sitting up in front of
the judge, but not as a regular person, he had handcuffs on his hands
and were around his back.
I sat down and Jesse looked back at me.
"Jesse", I whispered trying to not cry. "I love you".
"I love you too baby", he whispered back.
"Mr. McCartney! There will be no communications with the defendant
until your trial is over and you are proven innocent", the judge
calmly yelled.
"Yes ma'am", he said in a shaky tone.
"Mr. McCartney, is it not true that you and my client made a vow to
wait until marriage to give up your virginity", he asked.
"Yes it is", Jesse replied.
"And why did you go beyond my clients wishes?", he asked.
"I didn't. It was something we agreed on. We had been discussing
losing our virginity to each other for months. We just couldn't
decide if we was ready or not. And we felt it was our best way of
exchanging our love for one another".
"By having sex you prove your love? Isn't that what words and
feelings are for?", he argued.
"Well yeah. But if you knew how much we loved each other. Maybe you
would understand", Jesse retorted..
"Understand? You are only 18 Mr. McCartney. You have no yet begin to
understand what love is all about. And neither has my client".
"Your honor. Of course my client made the mistake of having
intercourse with a minor, but he has chosen to stick around for the
baby. It would be one thing if he fled the state", Jesse's attorney
protested.
"Attorney Clemmens, you do have a good point there", the judge
pointed out.
"What? That's an outrage your honor. Underage sex is underage sex. He
broke the law, so he should serve time", my parent's attorney
proclaimed.
I was tired of them yelling back and forth. I couldn't take it
anymore.
"Quiet! Mom, Dad, did it ever occur to you that I am not your little
girl no more? Jesse is my boyfriend, and you aren't going to be able
to baby me for the rest of my life. I am old enough to make my own
decisions", I testified. "Not once in our relationship has Jesse
treated me bad. Sure we argued quite a few times, but couples do
that. Even you and dad still argue mom, it's natural. It seems to me
like you want to find every reason to not let me be happy".
"No. That's not true honey. We are just looking out for your well-
being", my mom protested.
"My well being? How do you know what's good for me? But I don't care
what you or dad say, I am gonna be with Jesse. Even if it means
waiting til I turn 18. I will be with him", I yelled angrily.
"Break! I will come back with my final decision", the judge said
getting up from her seat and walking behind a door closing it.
