My friends and I have problems

Evan's POV
I tucked in my shirt as Jon tied my tie. Today we're going to Craig's court sentencing.
"He's so stupid. Why didn't he tell us?" Jon asked me frustratedly.
"Which part, Him being in a gang or him getting caught for smuggling ten pounds of cocaine to Michigan?" I laughed.
"This isn't funny Evan" Jon said rolling his eyes and fixing his shirt. I sighed and shoved his head in my chest and kissed it. He then pushed me away, smiling, and fixed his hair. I opened my door and yelled down the hall,
"Marcel, you ready?!". He opened his door and fixed his hair. "Yeah let's go!" He yelled back. Our rooms weren't that far so we started laughing. I looked back at Jon and saw him smiling at me.
"What?" I smirked.
"Nothing, you just look really good"
"That's maybe the nicest thing you've said to me all week" I laughed wrapping my arms around his waist. "Shut up" he laughed blushing. Marcel busted in my room,
"When y'all are done making out, the Uber's here" he said. Jon, Marcel, and I left downstairs. I kissed my mom on the cheek and we all got in the Uber and went to court. I could sense that Jon was very tense. I place my hand on his thigh and he looked up at me and smiled. "Don't worry" I said. He nodded and we went inside. It was a small court room and Jon sat between Marcel and I. Jon bounced his leg and Marcel chewed his nails. Tyler came in with Hailey and they sat by me. He looked like shit. I mean what else would I expect him to look like, our best friend's a felon.  Then, two police officers came in with Craig and sat him down at the desk in front of the judge.
(I don't actually know what happens in court so just go with it)
"Court is now in session" the judge said slamming the mallet down then sitting down. The lawyer for Craig, that they gave him, stood up. "Mr. Dowling is very apologetic of his actions and knows what he's done was wrong" he said. "Mr. Dowling, would you explain?" The judge asked.
"What I did a very stupid thing..." he said. We all nodded hoping this would be over soon and we'd have our friend back.
"That I should've taken an Uber instead and that I shouldn't trust anyone else with a man's job" he said. We all gasped. "Mr. Dowling I suggest if you don't want a year in juvenile prison you should act respectful in this court" she said. He looked at us then at her and said, "bring it bitch". She slammed down her mallet and said,
"One year in juvenile prison and 5 months for the attitude" she said.
"Court dismissed" she said walking away. We all stood up as they put Craig in hand cuffs as he faced us. "What the fuck Craig?!" Tyler whisper yelled. "I'll make my money in there by making fake I.D.s and I'll steal things and make people pay to get them back, don't worry about me though. Imma make juvie my bitch" he said. I ran my hands through my hair and everyone looked so disappointed. Of course his parents didn't show up so they had no say either. We all got separate Uber's and went to Jon's house since his parents were at work. Everyone kicked off their shoes and sat on Jon's couch dressed fancy.
"Fuck man! He's so stupid!" Tyler yelled.
"Yeah, what the hell was that?" Marcel asked.
"I don't know man, but if he wants to be that way, I won't stop him" I said. Jon hit the back of my head. "Ow! Hey, I'm saying the truth" I said. Everyone else nodded, "yeah, I agree with Ev, if he wants to do bad shit I don't care. As long as he doesn't get hurt" Marcel said. Everyone nodded, "my dad just texted me, I gotta go home" Tyler said.
(So this is like where my phone starts glitching tf out. I'm stuck on bold and I have to put the first line of a story in not bold so if you see the random dots at the top just ignore them👌)
Tyler left so it was just Marcel, Jon, and I. We all sat on the couch and sighed.
"A year and five months" Marcel said. We all groaned. "Why didn't he tell us?" Jon asked.
"Let's get off the subject" I said.
"Somebody's birthday's coming up" I smiled.
"Also a very important dinner is" Jon smiled. Jon was starting to warm up around me. He's started acting crazier and more hyper. And man he's a handful. "Shit, yeah, i almost forgot" I said. He rolled his eyes and stood up.
"GTA5?" He asked. "Hell yeah!" We yelled. Jon went to go get the controllers on the entertainment center when he fell.
"Shit, how the hell do they expect me to walk in these?!" He yelled. Marcel and I laughed while I picked him up and sat him back on the couch and got our controllers. About an hour later we were all yelling at each other and blowing up cars. "WHAT THE FUCK HAHAHAHAHA" Jon yelled laughing. Marcel and I laughed as cars flew up in the sky on GTA and killing Jon. Then my alarm went off and it was finally time.
"What's that for?" Jon asked.
"Oh-uh-my Mom told me to be home at a certain time" I said.
"Oh okay. Bye" he said. Marcel and I got up, Marcel turned off the Xbox and I kissed Jon.
"I'll see you tomorrow for dinner?" I asked. He nodded and smiled. Marcel and I walked home.
"What's the timer actually for?" Marcel asked as we went into his room.
"I was planning on telling my mom about Jon and I" I said honestly. He nodded and smacked my arm. "What are you waiting for? Do it now before she goes to bed" he said. I smiled and left his room and went downstairs. My mom was sitting at the kitchen table reading a book.
"Ma?" I said. She looked at me and took off her glasses. "Yes Evan?". I sat in front of her and twiddled my thumbs.
"I need to tell you something, but I don't know how'd you feel about it"
"I'll always love you Evan, just tell me"
"I'm gay" I said blankly. She just looked at me then at the table.
"And I'm in a gay relationship"
"With who?"
"With Jon" I said. She just nodded and put her glasses back on. "So... do you still love me?" I said. "Of course I still love you Evan, I always will" she said taking my hand. I smiled and kissed her cheek.
"Thank you ma" I said. I was about to walk upstairs when she said, "Jon's a good boy, don't lose him" she said. I smiled, "I won't".
