The news hits me like a ton of bricks. Jameson is dropping the case? I stare at the text on my phone, the words blurring as tears fill my eyes. This is not the news I was expecting from Lamonthe. I want him to tell me how he had won the case against my dad, or how the case is still progressing with them having more chances of winning the case.
The one person I thought I had, the one who promised to fight for me, has given up. What am I going to do now? The weight of the disappointment crushes me, and I can't hold back the sobs that wrack my body.
I don't know how to take the news well without it driving me crazy. So I manage to pick through my dinner, eating every fork of the salad with heaviness and chewing it with a crumbling slowness.
