Someone New

Well, that's the end of my life. I can't stop thinking about her. About what she was doing at the rink. She better get banned from that place. I need to stay focused on winning, on making the playoffs, or even just focus on my play in general. I fall back on the couch to watch some TV, but when I turned on the news, they news reporters were talking about the trial.
Well, no TV for me, I think to myself as I shut off the TV. I just lay there and fall asleep.


"You get five years in prison," says the Judge as he bangs his gravel. I stand there in shock as I am led away to prison. I can't believe I lost. I didn't hurt her, I didn't touch her. There is no reason why she should have done that to me. My parents stand there in shock. They believe me, but that's their job to believe me cause they are my parents. I don't know what to do. I can't play hockey, I can't even live my own life. Next thing I know is that I am shoved in a jail cell with a bunch of other guys that are bulkier than I am. Yes, I play hockey, but these guys look that they work out 24/7. They just stare at me then they go back to doing whatever it is they are doing. I sit on a bench that is in my cell. I don't belong in here, I just sit and think.
"Hey you!" says on of my cellmates. He is the scariest fella there.
"Uh...y....yes?" I says intimidated.
"Why are you in here," asks the guy. I do not know what to tell him.
"Well, I...uh...got accused of domestic violence," I say.
"Hmmmm....and did you do it?"
"Well, everyone thinks I did."
Just then I realized that that was the wrong thing to say cause right then, he beats me to a pulp.

I wake up and look at the clock. I am home and it's two in the morning. This trial has me all worked up. I know that I didn't do anything, nor would I ever beat her. I have been hearing all sorts of crap around the city. Apparently, only me and my teammates know that I am innocent. Evgeniya even knows that I am innocent, but she won't admit that or drop the charges. I need to go back to sleep. I have to be at the courthouse in a few hours. Then I will know whether or not I go to jail. I drift back off to sleep.

***

I go over to the closet to get a presentable suit. I need to win this thing. This will end today. My life is already ruined. She already turned NHL fans against me. I need to prove somehow that I am innocent. I get dressed and head out to my car. I arrive at the courthouse a little early, but I need to make a good impression so better early than late.

***

Well, just waiting on a decision. All the evidence is out in the open. Nothing against me. Everything shows that she is lying. They even found a recording of her talking to her friend over the phone which right then and there, people should see that she hit me first.
"Semyon Varlamov, the court finds you innocent of all charges," says the judge as he bangs his gravel. I'm free! I knew we could win this. My lawyer comes up to me, shakes my hand and nods.
"We won," he says and leaves with a smile on his face. We won, it's over.
