Prison (COMPLETED) (book 1)

Chapter 12

Sophia's POV...

Early this morning the warrden came and woke me up telling me my trial with Nick is being held today at the same court room i was originally convicted in, which not only means my mother can be there to support me but i have to be in the same room as Nick for who knows how long.

Why is he so loco in the head?

I hadn't been in the prison a day and he beats me up, then i hadn't been there a week and the prick shot me almost killing me now he wants to sue me saying it was all my fault, what the hell did i ever do to him? What coz i didn't put out so he wants me either dead or have my sentence extended.

Thankfully in the truck on the way there i didn't have to share with him how awkward would that have been me and him sitting in a confined space together for like 2 hours.

When i did get to the court room though it was very uncomftable when i walked in the room with my two guards with me because the moment i walked in the door the chains around my ankles hit the wooden floors getting everyones attention incuding Nicks who was sitting near the front of the room behind a desk with a man im guessing to be his lawyer.

I was lead to the desk i would be sitting at which was not that far away from Nick, i sat down and the lawyer i had for my first trial was sitting there next to me.

"Goodmorning Sophia, its nice to see you again, i am so sorry though to hear about you getting shot" my lawyer said frowning.

"Hey, its okay im feeling better now, so could you please explain to me whats going to be happening today?" I asked.

"Right, well first Nicks lawyer will present his case to the judge and the jurry then he will present whatever evidence he has against you then when that is done i will ask you to go up there and explain to all of us exactly what happened the day of the shooting and then i will ask Officer Milton to step forward to explain in her own words what happened then they are going to want to ask you both questions as well and most probably try to put words into your mouth to try and make you seem guilty but you have to be absolutly honest so they cant do anything to make you seem guilty got it?" He asked seriously, so i have to relive that day all over again, ive been trying so hard to forget it now i have to stand up infront of a bunch of strangers and explain in great detail the pain i went through god just kill me now.

"Got it" i said trying to control my emotions.

"All rise for judge Maxis" a big guard said, everyone in the room stood up and watched as an old man walked in the room and went to sit in his seat at the front of the room facing everyone, he used his hand to signal everyone to sit back down which we did.

"Goodmorning everyone alright lets begin" he said signaling for Nicks lawyer to start.

"Thank you sir, well we are here because my client is being wrongfully accused of harming and indangering this..." He paused for a second and looked at me before continuing "mans life"

"Apparently my client was being sued for physically harming him on the way to the showers a few months ago, and now he is being trialed for shooting him in the chest almost killing him in a maximum prison, where was my client suppose to get a gun from?" He asked no one in particular, i didn't really care about that fact i just couldn't believe what my poor ears was hearing, i can't believe he is denying all this, i have the gun shot wound to prove it, there were like how many witnesses.

I looked over at Nick and he was smirking at me, all i wanted to do was cry, i looked away and concentrated back onto what was happening just as his lawyer was sitting down to end his little speech now it was my sides turn so my lawyer stood up and introduced himself and me then asked for me to get up onto the podium.
