You Are My World (Charlie Lenehan Fanfiction)

CHAPTER 80

Last night was amazing with all the boys; sightseeing in my favourite city! Right now, we are all sat around my table in my flat having breakfast. It's 12pm. A little late to be having breakfast but all morning we have been packing boxes to be shipped back home. We were more or less done (you'd expect that it wouldn't take too long really, well, with there being eight of us). Court began at 1pm so Overload and Harvey went back to the hotel leaving Charlie and Leo with me.

"Im off in the shower," I said standing up.

"Okay, leave it on please because I'll go in after?" Charlie asked. I nodded. I hadn't really talked all day. The warm shower pampered to my bruised skin, the bruises still being very sore. I didn't need to wash my hair as I had done it earlier, I just wanted a shower to freshen up. For court, I didn't want anything too fancy or colourful so I decided on my simple, plain black skater dress, silver belt, black cardigan and my low cut boots. Jewellery and makeup wise, I wore my silver studs and obviously my engagement ring and natural makeup. I curled my blonde hair in beach waves and pulled the front back and tied it in a bobble. I had also decided to wear my glasses. Finally, I was ready. I walked back into the open kitchen/living room.

"You ready to do this?" Leo asked.

"Let's go," I smiled weakly and we headed downstairs and called a cab. Overload and Harvey were meeting us at court. I've never been to a court before so I'm really nervous.

When we arrived, we met up with all the boys.

"So how you feeling Em?" Jordi brotherly asked .

"Confident, the police told me that the six of them are definitely being sent down,"

"That's good, come on. Let's go in," Jordi said as he guided me into the court room.

In the middle sat all the jury and the judges. The head judge being at one end. Some of them had the. Funny wigs on. We sat along the balcony and right opposite us (on the other side of the court) sat my living nightmares: Lauren, Sam, Olivia, Claudia, the other man and unfortunately this included Brad. It killed me seeing him like that; in handcuffs surrounded by policemen either side. A year and a half ago he was nothing like this. Wouldn't of dreamed of hurting anyone. Especially me. His bestfriend. Who was there for him when no one else was? Me.

Who let him stay with us when his parents were splitting up? Me.

Who told him everything and trusted him to the ends of the earth? Me.

Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me.

It was all me.

However he's thrown that all away now. Court was starting now and we all stood for the entrance of the judge.

"Please be seated. We are here for the prosecution of Olivia, Claudia, Lauren, Samuel, Bradley and Thomas (the other man) who have admittedly kidnapped Miss Emily Whitworth from the streets and kept her in imprisonment for a number of days. In which time, they beat her and also only feed and watered once a day and the amount was pitiful. Emily please take the stand, hold the bible in your left hand and repeat the words written on the card," the judge spoke. I followed his instructions, leaving Charlie's grasp.

I took the bible and placed it in my left hand. "I solemnly swear by God that within this court room and I front of everyone in it that I will tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth,"

"Thank you. Now, we have it in our notes that you have history with all of these offenders?"

"All except one, Thomas your honour,"

"Please could you inform us,"

"Claudia has bullied me heavily since the beginning of high school, making me end up in hospital twice. One of the times was when I was filming the music video, she was hired as an apprentice and she, along with Olivia, shoved a chair into my leg causing unbearable pain and the chance that I possibly could dance ever again,"

Okay, right this down," he said to the jury.

"Olivia has stalked my boyfriend/fiancée for years when he lived back in Bristol. Then when I went down she tried to steal him from me. Every since then, she's had it in for me. Then the next time I saw her was them is I video as I said previously. Sam acted as my friend and we dated for a while until I went home for Christmas and I realised I was still in love with Charlie so we both ended things. When I came back I hadn't seen him until I had been kidnapped and was forced to go see him,"

"Thank you. Now please can Mr Charlie Lenehan join you on the stand to say about Lauren,"

And Charlie made his was to me and read the same thing that I had to.

"I solemnly swear by God that within this court room and I front of everyone in it that I will tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth,"

"Thank you,"

"Your honour, I dated Lauren whilst Emily was here working. When she came back, we broke up as I realised I wanted Emily. On that night, she threatened Emily saying that she was going to make her life a misery," Charlie stated and he tightly held my hand for comfort and support.

"And finally Bradley,"

"Where do I even begin?" I started.

"The start preferably Miss," the judge said. Wow, they don't take a hint of sarcasm do they.

"Well, we had been best friends along with Leondre Devries for about 5years. I could tell him anything. Anything. And I knew he wouldn't spill. I trusted him with the world. He was basically like a brother to me," as I was saying this Brad was looking directly at me. It pained me did this. But he betrayed me. He was in on a plan that is unforgivable.
"That was until one night, he fell out with his girlfriend and left. We didn't see him for over a year, and that all changed on the night I was kidnapped,"

"So you don't think that it was all his fault?"

"It could not of been. Brad's not that kind of person,"

"Thank you. Jury you have all your evidence. Time to consider your verdict. Please wait outside. Court will resume when the final verdict has been made," and with that we all stood up and left the courtroom. As I got out of the double doors, I broke down into Charlie's arms. He hugged me tightly, whispering 'shhh' soothingly into my ear every so often.

"It's not fair, it's not fair," I cried.

CHARLIE'S POV

"It's not fair, it's not fair," Emily cried into my chest.

"Shh, I know it's not baby girl, nothing's fair,"

"What's not fair?" Ollie asked me.

"Brad. He wasn't like this before and I guess just seeing him in court and handcuffs and everything just got her worked up and emotional. I have to admit, it was hard for me as well. I once considered him a mate. A close mate. He's ruined any chance of getting that back, he's betrayed us," I told Ollie. Emily was still crying, it tortures her.

10 minutes later we were called back in. Em had calmed down a little so we steadily walked back in and sat down.

"The offences are as follows: kidnapping, inhumanly treatment and stalking," the judge started. "Jury, do you have a verdict?"

"Yes your honour," a representative said standing up.

"Go on,"

"Olivia, Claudia, Samuel and Lauren will serve 7 years imprisonment. Bradley and Thomas will serve 2 years imprisonment," the representative spoke.

"Thank you. Police, please take the prisoners to their holding cells. They will be escorted to the jail soon. As for everyone else. Thank you for attending court today, we feel justice has been served. Case closed," the judge finished.

That's it.

EMILY'S POV

That's it. I'm free. I don't have to live in fear anymore. I'm free! I feel for Brad, he was my friend. But was he has done has scared me for life so I guess he gets everything that's coming to him.

I don't have to live in fear anymore.

And that is a liberating thought!

A/N finally! Lauren, Sam, Brad, Claudia, Thomas and Olivia can't ruin Emily's life! What are your thought/feelings on Brad? Let me know -----------------👉
