Court

Emily's P.O.V.

Today is court day for Drew against Randy but you'll never guess what else today is. It's Aiden's eighth birthday. So he gets to spend the morning of his birthday at school knowing his dad is in court right now. The judge is coming.

"All rise." The police man in the corner said and everyone stood up. After the judge sat everybody else did too.

"First to the stand Randal Orton." He said and Randy walked up there. He put his hand on a bible and the other hand in the air.

"Do you Randal Orton promise to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth?"

"I do."

"Please take your seat." The officer said and he as he was told. It took forty years to get Randy to do as he was told and its in court. Drew's attorney asked questions first.

"Mr. Orton is it true you had sexual relation with my client's wife while she was underage?"

"Yes."

"May you please tell us your age?"

"I'm forty."

"You are well aware of the law of having sex with minors. Can you share the ages of yourself and Mrs. Chadwick when this relationship was going on?"

"She was sixteen and seventeen, I was thirty five and thirty six."

"Did you ever force Mrs. Chadwick into having intercourse with you?"

"No, I would never do that." He said and I knew that was true.

"Why were you and Mr. Chadwick having arguements?"

"It began when he started dating Emily shortly after her and I separated. I guess I just became jealous about their relationship."

"How did you handle this?"

"I didn't. I just went after Emily and tried to break them up." I can't believe he's confessing all thus in court.

"When did the arguments become physical?"

"About six months after Emily and Drew got engaged. Usually Drew would begin the physical part of the fights but I was the one to push him too far."

"So is it yours or Drew's fault for the physical fighting?"

"I believe it's pretty even."

"That's all the questions I have for Mr. Orton. I would like to bring Mr. Chadwick up next." Drew's attorney said. This should be good. Randy stepped down then Drew went up there and put one hand on the bible with the other in the air.

"Do you, Drew Chadwick, promise to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth?"

"I do." Drew said then sat down.

"So Mr. Chadwick, when did you begin your relationship with your wife Emily?"

"In January of 2017. So almost four years ago." He said.

"How old are you Mr. Chadwick."

"I'm twenty eight."

"Which means you were twenty four when you started dating Emily?"

"That is correct sir."

"And how old was Emily?"

"It was her eighteenth birthday when we started dating."
