Ally stayed with me the entire night. We ordered in food, lay in bed and chatted, and of course had a lot more sex. I was definitely making up for lost time. Every time I looked at her, I regretted the fact that I had leave. But it was impossible for me to stay.
In the morning, we went out for breakfast before I dropped her off at her place. We had a tearful goodbye. Before I left, I told her to seriously consider coming out west. I also told her I would call her that night and every night till I saw her again.
When I got back to the hotel, I turned on the TV and started packing up the remainder of my things. I had to stop and watch when the news report came up regarding all of the arrests as well as the breakdown of all the charges everyone was facing.
11 teachers had been arrested including the principal, the vice principal and guidance counselor. 10 of them were all charged with having sex with students. Some only had one charge where as others, like the guidance counselor, had multiple.
4 members of the basketball team, including Davis, were charged with multiple counts of sexual assault. Apparently in some of the videos, it plainly showed the women didn't want to be apart of what was happening.
The 11th teacher charged was the coach. He was facing a lot more charges then anyone else except Marcus. He was charged with sleeping with students, possession of illegal videos, distributing illegal videos, and sexual assault (as he was the one filming the basketball team).
Marcus was charged with multiple counts sexual assault, possession of illegal videos, distributing illegal videos, and multiple counts of extortion. Turns out, he had convinced some of the cheerleaders to seduce some of the male teachers while he filmed them and then blackmail the teachers for better grades. He also was blackmailing some of the smarter students to do his homework and tests. Turns out Marcus would seducing their mothers and threatening to post those videos online if the students didn't do it.
At first everyone facing charges said they were innocent and denied everything. Then word leaked out about the cops having the videos and copies of all Marcus's text messages. One by one they all pled guilty when the time came. The only one not to do so was the coach because he committed suicide before he could.
For the teachers, their sentences ranged anywhere from probation and time served (for the ones that only one encounter could be proven) to 5 years for the guidance counselor who had a continuing relationship with Marcus and various other students. They all lost the ability to teach and all had to register as sex offenders.
The basketball teams sentences were 7 years for each instance, so 28 years in total. They did have a chance for parole in 20.
As for Marcus, he was given 47 years for everything. His parole was after 35 years served. The bad thing for him was everyone believed Marcus was the one who sent the videos in to the FBI. Only his fingerprints were on the thumb drive, mailed from a mailbox close to his house with the envelop written in his hand writing. He denied it every chance he could, but know one believed him.
When Marcus finally was sent to prison to start his sentence, the basketball team was waiting. They had let everyone know he was the rat that sold them out. At first they were friendly to him, showing him around and giving him the lay of the place. When they got him alone and in an isolated area, the beat the shit out of him. They were interrupted before the could finish the job.
I drove out to California and ended up setting up shop in the northern part of the state. I liked the area, not to hot, not cold in the winter, and close to a college with a reputation for producing good programmers and designers.
I bought a nice condo I really liked before trying to start my company. It was probably a good thing that Ally didn't come with me. I had no idea how hard it was. Thankfully I found a good lawyer and accountant who help a lot.
I was out there for 2 weeks before I got the call from Aunt Cindy. Although tried not to care she told me everything she knew about what happened with Rachel.
Aunt Cindy had been staying with Rachel since I left. Rachel was a wreck especially after her attempts to find me at school failed. On the day of the arrests, Cindy was at the house when the FBI came to interview Rachel. That is when Cindy learned the truth about everything.
Aunt Cindy went off on Rachel, yelling at her and nearly attacked her. Cindy said any hard feeling she had toward some were gone, she didn't blame me for leaving or burning the pictures. She said she was surprised I didn't do worse.
Rachel ended up checking into an inpatient psychiatric institute to get help. Only when she did that, did Cindy decide to help Rachel deal with everything and to recover. I refused to tell Cindy were I moved to so she didn't accidentally let Rachel know. I also reiterated that Rachel wasn't allowed to use her cell to try to contact me. Cindy agreed but only if she could tell Rachel how I was doing.
It was close to 5 months since I moved out here that I bought Ally a return trip to come out. The company was slowly getting up and running and I knew I could give Ally the time she deserved. I told her she could use the guest room and to see what she thought of the town.
We had been talking over the phone, texting, video chats, every form of communication except regular mail and smoke signals. Mostly multiple times a day. I had to admit I was crazy about her. When she stepped through security at the airport and into my arms I knew I never wanted to let her go.
"Is this crazy?" I whispered into her ear as me embarrassed each other.
"What?" She asked as she pulled back to look me in the eye.
"The fact that I am falling in love with you and we haven't been on an actually date yet?"
She looked me in the eye for a second or two before a big smile grew on her lips. She pulled me into her and we kissed. It was the first time either of us had used the L word.
"If this is crazy," She started to say as she pulled away to look me in the eye. "You better put me in the loony bin. I am falling in love with you too!"
The drive back to my apartment from the airport was just under three hours. Thankfully I had been smart enough to book a room at a resort only 20 minutes away and had checked in before going to pick up Ally.
I didn't tell her about going to the resort earlier as I wanted it to be a surprise. When we pulled up I told her that after all day flying, she would probably want to relax before continuing the trip. She just smiled and kissed me as we got out of the car.
I grabbed her suitcase from the back seat and we walk hand and hand. When he got into the elevator, she wrapped her arms around me and squeezed. I put my arm around her and when she looked up at me, kissed her softly on the lips.
When we finally got to the room, I unlocked the door and held it open for her to go in first.
"Oh my god!" She said softly as she took in the suite. "This is beautiful!"
"I am glad you like it." I said as I walked in behind her. I put the suitcase in the closet and closed the door. "I wanted it to be a surprise and I was also worried you might think I was presuming to much."
"It's perfect!" She said as she turned around and wrapped her arms around my neck.
I kissed her back and put my arms around her hips. At first it was just a soft kiss, lips pressing against each other. It was only a matter of a few moments before the innocence of the kiss was lost to passion.
