i mean i knew i was going to be guilty no matter what. but like i said a million times before, is it really a crime to just love someone as much as i do?

this feels amazing. i won't have to think about him anymore. i can do whatever i want, whenever i want, with whoever i want. it's just feels incredible. i stood up out of my seat and gave kate the biggest hug. "thank you kate, you worked so hard and i appreciate every second of it. you're amazing, thank you again." i said. "y/n of course, yes it is my job but you deserve justice and i'm so glad you got that today. no need to thank me." kate said shaking my hand. i turned around and saw my parents holding out their arms for me to go over to them, with tears in my moms eyes. as i got closer to them i went over to finn instead. they've haven't been supportive whatsoever through this entire thing which makes me wonder, do they really even care? they've been gone for three months, do they even understand what has been happening for the last 4-5 months? i mean what just happened became one of the best days of my life. i finally feel free and i really don't think they understand.

i have finn the biggest hug. we broke the hug and finn leaned in and kissed me. ugh, never ever gets old. of course i kiss back but i soon pulled away just to be respectful to the people around us. mary and eric (finns parents) came over to me and finn and embraced me in a hug. mary pulled away and said, "i'm so so proud of you sweetheart, you did amazing. you deserve this. even though this is over you're still welcome to stay over for weeks and months." i laughed and said "thank you guys, i know i stayed over for pretty much the entire time and i appreciate all the support you guys have given me. more than many other people." i said, emphasizing the last sentence so my parents would hear me.

jack and sophia practically jumped on top of me and said how they were so proud of me and happy this is over. we all hugged, finn joining us for a few minutes. and it feels good to finally be able to hang out with my friends without worrying someone's watching what we do or even listening to what we say. angela (jacks mom) and winona (sophias mom) also came over to me and both kissed me on the cheek and wrapped their arms around me.

"i love you so much sweet girl, congratulations you deserve it." winona said. "yes you do, you're amazing pretty girl, you did a great job out there today." angela said. "thank you guys, it means so much, thank you guys for the support." i said smiling, on the verge of tears. "and y/n, please come over soon jack misses you so much." angela said. i looked at jack who was talking to finn and sophia. "oh i will, i miss jack a lot too. you know, i always hang out with finn or sophia but i never hangout with jack and he's my bestfriend, it's weird but yes i miss him." i said smiling, at this point i had a couple tears running down my face. angela hugged me again and then walked over to my parents who were hugging each other. they're really acting like they got something out of this ya?

i cant believe we're done with this. i don't even know how much i could say or do to show y/n how proud i am of her. i know she's upset that her parents haven't really been there through any of this though. to tell the truth, y/n and her mom used to be super close but when she started traveling for work with her dad they really fell off. now y/n and her mom don't even talk, which is what y/n told me. i feel horrible because honestly it feels like y/n has a better relationship with my family than she does with her own. she even has a better relationship with jack and sophias mom than her own. it's really sad to see but as long as she's doing okay, so am i.

y/n was taking to angela and winona while i was talking to jack and sophia. "you think she's doing okay?" jack said. "i mean ya why wouldn't she be?" i asked a little confused, i mean the best outcome that could've happened, just happened. "finn i know but everything wyatt said to her? and she had to listen to all of it? finn that can really fuck someone up. i know that was hard for her to hear. i mean jeez it was hard for everyone to hear and we weren't even the victims. i just hope she won't think about any of that. i mean she even ran out of the room and threw up. that's horrible." jack said with tears in his eyes. jack really has the biggest heart out of everyone in our friend group and it really shows. "i know jack, and the fact that wyatt was staring directly into her eyes while saying everything the entire time is traumatic. like he put her through all of that and didn't even feel as if he did anything wrong." i said, shaking. "that guy is really fucked up, like he's crazy." sophia said. we saw y/n come over to us and stopped talking, we didn't want her to hear any of that. when she got over to use a wrapped my arm around her waist and she put her head on my chest. which was soon interrupted after we heard the gavel. oh god.

a police officer walked up the stand to grab wyatt and put him in cuffs. y/n moved her head off of my chest and watched them do it. still holding onto me she watched. right before they took wyatt away he screamed "i love you y/f/n and i will never stop. i will see you soon." i felt my arm being almost crushed by y/n as she held onto me tighter and tighter. she started shaking and i just knew she was about to start crying. i put my other hand on the back of her head and pulled her in closer to me so her head was on my chest again. i didn't want her seeing everyone staring at her, because they were. i placed my chin on top of her head for a couple seconds. i then whispered in her ear, "it's okay, let's just go home okay?" i asked. she looked up to me and nodded. sophia and jack were telling y/n everything was going to be okay. i had sophia tell all of our parents that we were leaving right now and that we probably wouldn't be home for a couple hours. as jack and i were walking y/n out of the courtroom, the press started surrounding y/n asking her all these questions. i could tell she felt uncomfortable so we just kept walking. y/n didn't want to answer any questions, she just wanted to leave and never come back. we finally got out of the court house and walked to our car. more people with cameras and mics were walking towards us but we couldn't leave yet because we were waiting for sophia. i sat in the front while y/n and jack were in the back. i told y/n to lay down across jack so they wouldn't be able to see her in the car. we wanted them to think she went in another car just so they would leave us alone. i saw sophia walking out and drove to her, trying not to hit every goddamn person that was trying to get to

y/n. sophia got in the front with me and i just started driving. where? no idea but somewhere faf away for a couple hours.

like i said i'm happy this is over but it was so hard seeing y/n like that.

"thank you guys." y/n said. "of course, we love you we weren't going to let them try and ask you all these questions that you didn't want to answer. we just wanted this to be over as soon as possible." jack said. "ya, what jack said." sophia said and started laughing. "ya we love you, we just wanted this to end as soon as it could." i said. "ya i know, i love you guys too." y/n said.

ugh.
