Max was nervous as she sat next to Prosecutor Goldcrest at the front of the court. She knew her girlfriend, her mother, and Charlie were sitting behind her. She had learned that Shawn Grubbs had been captured and brought back to stand trial for his crimes. They were there to support her during the trial.

Max watches as the bailiff escorts Shawn into court. She couldn’t believe how her old friend changed. He no longer looked like the guy she grew up with but like someone who had joined the military. He had a few tattoos on his face and arms.

She watches as he is escorted to his attorney’s table. Max notices that the person representing Shawn is wearing an expensive suit. She wonders how Shawn managed to afford an expensive lawyer.

The judge walks in, and everyone is asked to stand. Afterward, when the judge sits down, everyone is allowed to sit. Once everyone is seated, the case is announced.

Throughout the opening, questions are asked, and statements are made. Max tries to recall everything that occurred that day. Shawn's lawyer asks questions about Max’s relationship with Shawn and whether she has ever flirted or tried to seduce Shawn.

Shawn’s lawyer questions the forensics process and how they managed to lift his fingerprints. Also, how the police were able to say for sure that Shawn had been the shooter. Shawn’s lawyer was trying everything he could to place doubt about the evidence and Max’s statement.

Luckily, the judge didn’t believe anything the lawyer was doing. He could see through the tactic and would note the statements made. By the time everything was said and done. Shawn is charged with attempted murder and life in prison.

By the time Max and her family left the courthouse, Max was in tears with relief. She was so happy and sad that justice had been served, but she wished her old friend hadn’t gone down the path he did.

For the rest of the summer, Brandi, Max, Charlie, and whoever Charlie is dating at the time spend a lot of time together. They become close friends and do a lot of things together. Max likes the fact that Charlie has no problem hanging with two lesbians.

After Brandi drops Max at home one night, Max stops and looks up into the night sky and spots a meteorite streak across the sky. A smile forms on her face as she heads towards the front door, the smile still on her face.
