"He said I don't know how you're even friends with that manipulative bitch. She's like a leech that doesn't let go."
I remember that day. I scribble something down on a piece of paper and pass it over to Finn. He reads it and nods.
"And what did you say back?"
"I didn't answer."
"Why not?"
She shrugs. "I didn't feel like it was right. Davi was my best friend. I didn't want to talk behind her back."
"As a good friend would." He takes the paper from her and puts it back on his table. "Did Davianna ever say anything about Jace's relationship with Carter?"
"She used to get upset about it a lot," she explains. "She was dating Carter, but she said it felt like the two of them were always shutting her out."
"Did she say why she felt that way?"
"Just things they used to do, I guess. Like they would go out and not invite her, or she would go to their place and they would ignore her the whole time. It seemed like Jace just always wanted to keep Carter to himself."
The prosecutor frowns. "I'm sure any girl would get upset about that, if her boyfriend wasn't paying any attention to her."
Tye smiles. "Probably."
"Now, and I'm sorry if this is hard for you, but when was the last time you saw Davianna?"
"She was getting ready for a party and asked me to come with her, but I had an assignment due that I really couldn't miss, so I didn't go."
"And was she in good spirits? Did she seem happy to you?"
She tilts her head from side to side. "Yeah. Nothing different than how she normally was."
"So, you don't think she was having any suicidal thoughts or anything like that?"
"Definitely not," she answers without hesitation.
"Thank you, Tyeler. The prosecution rests, your honor."
The judge looks over at Finn. "Your witness, Mr. Bradford."
"Thank you, your honor." He gets up and walks toward Tyeler. "Miss Morgan, you talk about the night that my client referred to the victim as a manipulative expletive, but can you share with the court what happened the night before this day?"
Tye looks over at the prosecutor nervously and they nod. "We were at a club. I wanted to dance, but Davi didn't want to, so Carter said he would dance with me. And when we got back, Jace and Davianna were making out."
"And what happened from there?"
"Carter got angry at both of them and stormed out. I believe Jace followed him, but I didn't leave with them so I can't say for sure."
Finn nods. "Who do you think instigated the kiss between Jace and Davianna?"
"I don't know," she answers. "I wasn't around to see it."
"Did Miss Sorrentino l
ook like an unwilling participant?"
She shakes her head. "No."
"Miss Morgan, please tell the court the position they were in when Mr. Trayland caught his girlfriend with his best friend."
