Chapter 13
After my dreadful confession, I went straight to
jail and here I am waiting
for my trial.
That's my story of how Nick died and how within twenty
minutes
my life was destroyed.
***1 year later***
Well, it's me again.
The
trials over and I was given the death penalty like I predicted.
The trial
was awful, I remember every second of it!
How Brian started crying uncontrollably
on the witness stand.
How Kevin turned a shade of green and how the rest
lied.
The first day of trial, I think was the easiest.
I walked into
the room of brown and took a seat beside my lawyer, Jacob Foster.
He was
a nice slender man who told me that my story would be
told to the trial and yes,
I would go to jail but I would not receive the
death penalty if he had anything
to do with it.
I wanted the death penalty, I wanted it more than anything.
I wasn't really sure if I was going to Heaven or Hell, I didn't know if God
would ever forgive my sins but if he did, I wanted to talk to Nick…
I wanted
to tell him I was sorry!
I know it sounds stupid and petty but that is the
only forgiveness that
I could ask of Nick and the only words that came to mind
when I think
of what I did to Nick is 'I'm sorry'!
I remember the judge
asking if I plead guilty or innocent.
I stood up in my handcuffs, in front
of my friends and said a plain and clear
"Guilty!"
I wish now
that we would have never had to go to trial… why couldn't they
just give me the
death penalty and let it be over!
I remember turning to see Jane crying and
Bob trying to comfort her,
Brian sat there like a zombie and Kevin cried as well!
That first day of trial changed my view on everything… I realize now that
no matter how hard you try to make your life wonderful, something always gets
in the way!
