If there is a different actor or type of book like enemies to lovers which is the best trope imo but if you want to see anything different from me let me know so i can start planning.  

Also do yall want spice next chapter.

The first day of court went as expected. Emotions glares eye rolling news articles and right now i was winning. But all came to a stop when the judge died. 

I got a call early the second day of the trial saying the judge and slipped in the shower and died. If it wasnt so tragic i would have laughed. My lawyer had a different opinion of what happened to him. He believes foul play was involved and i wouldnt put it past Marie. There was a major debate going on about whether or not we need to restart the trial. 

As this mans life was being looked into i had feeling it had been a murder but not because of Marie. This man was not a good man things were brought to light. Cheating scandals and his family was absolutly appalled. One of his kids actually spoke out against him and refused to go to the funeral. I feel like she knew and my lawyer started to believe so too. But how he actually died we will never know. But it serves him right to die slipping in the shower.

A new judge was found and the trial commenced. I made it three days before i had to take the stand on the last day of trial. 

"I swear to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help me God." I said as i got sworn in my hands shaking slightly. I sat down at the bench and could see maries face. I was the last witness then the jury would decide. Fines and a restraining order might be put in place. 

"Marie was your best friend in 6th grade correct?" my lawyer asked

"that is correct 6th - the end of 8th grade."

"what happened at the end of 8th grade?" 

"we had a fight she gas lighted me and i cussed her out. I apologized the next morning because i felt terrible."

"these are screenshots of the conversation correct." 

"yes they are."

"when the defendant showed these to your mom did she show both sides of the conversation?"

"no."

"what happened after this when you went home?"

"I tried to commit suicide and i started self harming and didnt talk to anyone."

"did Marie leave you alone after all of this?"

"no she would show up where she didnt need to be to harrass me. Talked shit about me and tried to turn my bestfriends and mutual friends agaisnt me. When i started my acting career she brought up a bunch of shit and twisted it to bring attention to her."

"Are any of the accusation Marie made about you true?"

"no."

Questioning continued for thirty more minutes followed by 45 minutes of cross-ex. Finally the jury was dismissed to make their final decisions.

"Do you think we won?" I asked twiddling my pen while talking to my lawyer.

"They had nothing against you and you had everything against them of course you won. And Marie admitted to bullying you. I let out a sigh of relief after that. "Why dont you get some dinner and sleep the jury probably wont be done discussing until tomorrow" I nodded my head and stood up.

As soon as i stepped foot outside the bar Mason picked me up in a hug. "You were amazing. She made herself look so stupid it was unbeliveable i actually heard people laugh when she brought up the lie that you were abusive but had no back up to that statement. She looked like a clown." He smiled. He looked so cute his hair was kinda messy he was wearing a suit. 

"Mason. Thank you for being here." I said before kissing him. He pulled away and smiled at me.

"does this mean you and me..."

"ill think about it."

"Ill meet you in the car we will get dinner and have some fun ok."

I went to the bathroom and to the water fountain before going to meet Mason. When i was at the water fountain someone aggresivley bumped into me. I looked up Marie stood there arms crossed. I tried to walk away but she grabbed my arm squeezing it. 

"This isnt fucking over sawyer i will always come for you. Your a bitch ass cunt and you dont deserve any of what you have. You deserved to die that night. I will make sure you get what you deserve." she hissed before shoving me away.

"Your just jealous because im everything you always wanted to be. And because you know you lost a good friend and that will always hurt more than anything you did to me because you know im innocent." I said trying to cover the fact i was shaken. Trying to act like she didnt just threaten to kill me.

I bolted for the car after that slamming the door. I started to cry and explained everything to Mason who pulled me into his arms. 

"i will always make sure your ok. No one will be able to touch you as long as im here."

We ate dinner that night. Sub sandwiches the best kind of sandwich. And i stayed at Masons falling asleep in his arms like old times. Curling in close to him while he stroked my hair.
