Court Case Part Two

Liam left Bobbie for a moment while they waited in the lobby area, he retreated into the bathroom. His phone had been vibrating in his pocket in the court room, and again now,

"Hello?" He whispered quite violently into the phone,

"How's it going?" It was Harry sounding concerned, Liam wondered what went on between the two of them this morning, Liam knew that Harry had been sleeping with Bobbie. But he didn't know whether he'd been sleeping with her.

"Um..." Liam hesitated,

"What?" Harry breathed,

Liam sighed heavily and leant up against the door of the bathroom, "I don't know, we're waiting for a verdict. Bobbie's...Not doing so good..."

"What do you mean?"

"She's as nervous as hell Harry. She looks like...Never mind, we'll see you when we get back, alright?"

Harry sighed this time, "Alright, tell her..." He trailed off, "Never mind..." Then he clicked off the line leaving it dead,

Liam moaned and the shoved the phone back into his pocket, he then washed his hands vigorously before drying them on the rough blue towels,

Then slowly, he walked back outside where he smiled comfortingly at Bobbie.

I'd started bob my knees again. Up and down. Up and down. But at a much faster speed, "Do you need anything?" Liam asked, I shook my head, he carried on anyway, "A sandwich? A coffee?"

"No thanks," I replied,

"Water?"

"Liam," I sighed,

Liam sniffed and jumped down beside me, "Sorry," He muttered,

I didn't say anything, but I could see from the corner of my eye, that he was watching my every move.

Then, Mr Hillard walked out and sat in front of me, and Liam looking fairly sympathetic, "How are you holding up?" He asked cocking his head to the side slightly,

"Fine," I lied,

Mr Hillard bit his lip sympathetically, "I know the waiting is the hardest part,"

"Yeah," I whispered,

"It'll be alright," Liam rubbed my back,

"That's what everybody says," I murmured in a soft whispery voice,

Then, from the hallway, I heard clipping shoes on the tile floor, they got louder and louder. Until they were almost smacking in my ears,

They stopped. Right in front of me. I picked my head up from looking at the ground to see who it was. It was the woman. The one with Rhys, not Mrs Goddard. The other one.

She grinned, "I don't think we've been properly introduced," Her smile sickly, especially with her lips covered with red lipstick, some still staining her teeth, it was obvious it had just been reapplied,

"I guess not," I murmured quietly, she held out her hand, "Bobbie Beau,"

"Francesca Scowsen," 'Francesca, gripped my hand as I took hers and yanked me so hard I stumbled upwards on my feet, it was unexpected, so much so that I almost fell into her,

Luckily, I managed to regain my balance before I toppled over, but I was so close to her face, I'd passed it, she whispered in my ear horribly, "Stay away from me, or you'll regret it. Once I get your children, I'll be their new mummy," I could hear the smirk on her lips, "Stay away," She whispered again before snatching her hand away like it was suddenly on fire,
