Harry P.O.V

I don't even have words to express my feeling right now.

I happy because Niall is home.

I'm sad because he cannot speak.

I'm angry because that bitch kidnapped and injured him.

I'm confused because everything is a mess.

I'm hurt because I can't help Niall.

I'm lost because Louis hasn't contacted me yet.

He promised. I know it’s only been about three hours, but after what happened to Niall... I can't imagine. We even have to leave.. Like now, just so we can make it to the trial on time.

None of us are allowed in the courtroom, well other than Ryan because he’s their main witness. I just wish this process would go faster. I don't even want to be near her... Just lock her up and throw away the key.

"HARRY COME ON! WE DON'T HAVE ALL DAY! LET'S GO!" Liam screamed. Wow. Bossy much...

"COMING LILI!" I called with a hint of innocence in my voice. I skip, yes I said skip. Got a problem? So I skipped out of my room and met the other three lads.. Well four if you include Ryan who just magically appeared.

"Come on you guys. I have to have some form of briefing before I go on the stand." I smiled.

"As long as you get her locked up I don’t care what you do." He smiled back.

"I’ll do my best! She's not getting off that easy after what she put you guys through, and what she put me through." Niall looked like he was on the verge of tears, but also looked as though he was going to attack Ryan by the way he was glaring at him. 

"It's okay Niall. This is stressful, I get it. We all do. But after today you won't have to worry about anyone hurting you." I put my hand on Nialls shoulder to comfort him, but he smacked it away. Touchy.

"Let's get going. We can't be late." Zayn said taking the lead. Liam followed right behind as he held an arm around Niall. He was making sure Niall wouldn’t run off or disappear on us again. Nobody could take that. Next was Ryan followed by me so I could lock up.

We made it down to the limo to escort us to courthouse. The car ride was.. Well it was tense. You could feel the tension between Niall and Ryan, yet I'm not sure why.

Liam and Zayn were discussing plans for after everything is wrapped up while I kept quiet and just observed them. I seriously don't know why we have to go. She's guilty. Plain and simple. No questions asked. But we have to do it by the 'system'.

Whatever.

Niall P.O.V

I'm going to FUCKING RIP EVERYONE'S HEAD OFF!!! I think I've told myself this over a million times in the past two days but when I am able to speak again. Those lads better be fucking prepared because this is one anger leprechaun.

They are all on my hit list at this point. Especially if something happens to Tar. They are DEAD. Holy shit I can't take this. I feel like I'm being confined from my own self. I have information I'm dying to share, but I just can't seem to express it in words or writing. BECAUSE I CAN'T!! AHHH! 

I'm so frustrated.

And Ryan staring at me isn't going to help. I've hated him since the first day I met him. Probably because he was straggling Tara to death. Then the next time I see him is after he purposely gets Tar arrested.

We do not have a good relationship to say the least. That mofo is gonna pay big time. I swear if they convict her... Well they can't. She's so innocent it’s impossible to think she's guilty.

Harry's really getting on my nerves, and so is Liam. They are one hundred percent convinced that she’s guilty. I don’t even know why. They over reacted and jumped to conclusions. 

Zayn I'm a bit more understanding of. Tara lied to him. But I made her. She wanted to, but I talked her out of it. Well more wrote her out of it.. Okay not funny. But you see my point.

Louis. I haven't even seen him. But I see the hurt in his eyes. I think he feels that she's innocent. I don't know where he is but its driving me nuts. I want him here more than anyone because he's the one person who actually believes she may be innocent.

I finally have someone one mine and Tara’s side. Maybe if he hurries back from wherever he is then maybe we will have a better shot. I just need to get in the courtroom. Then everything can be changed.

We pulled up in front of a large building. It had tall creepy pillars that look like they’re from Rome. As we get out we bombarded by paparazzi. They haven't heard from us since the day I was 'rescued'.

Security pushed us safely through the crowds and ushered us inside. We were then taken to a room which we could view the trial on television. Wow. My trial and yet I can't even be present. What has this world come to?

I sat back and watched the others. I had become very, very observant over the past five and a half weeks. I watch their every move and learn to predict their actions.

I can easily tell people emotions. Everyone is like an open book to me. They don't have to tell me what they want. I can look into their eyes and know when they need comforting or someone to talk to. Also I can read their body language and sense if they’re in a violent or abusive state.

Everything can be told just by looking at a person. It's just so-

"Tara Allen." My attention snapped to the screen that looked before me. On the screen showed her being walked to the bench in handcuffs. Her eyes were red and puffy. It's so easy for me to tell she's been crying, and I don't blame her.

"The Tara Allen trial will begin in a few moments. Now for some background I'm the evidence that has been circling the media." They began to describe everything but the truth.

Lies, lies, and more lies. Everything they were saying was false.

How is this happening? I feel as though I'm going to wake up and this is going to be an awful nightmare. I wish it was so.. But this is it. This might possibly be her last shot to clear her name.

We've been told she is not allowed to testify for herself.. Like what the hell? This is HER trial. Why shouldn't she be allowed to defend herself? Isn't there some law that completely contradicts this? I have no idea...

-RING-RING-RING-RING-

"I'll be right back lads." Liam says as he excuses himself. Not thirty seconds later Liam ran back in. "LOUIS' IN THE HOSPITAL!" What the fuck. No! LOUIS! "HE WAS FOUND BEATEN UP AROUND THE CORNER FROM THE JAIL!"

My gaze immediately landed on Ryan. I saw him smirk and... No. Fuck him. If we were anywhere but here I would knock that Mofo out. That bastard deserves it.

Not only does he get my Tara arrested, but he has the nerve to even touch Louis! He's going to fucking die. I swear it. I feel so powerless it makes me want to cry. And it already has.

"Niall. Are you going to be okay by yourself? We have to go and see Louis. We will be back after the trial okay?" I looked at Zayn and nodded. I watched as they left the room in a hurry, well.. Except Ryan. He was escorted to a different room.

Part of me wanted to chase them and find out exactly what happened to Louis. But a bigger part of me knew I had to stay here for Tara’s sake. She needs me more than Louis right now.

And besides he has the other lads.

Tara has nobody. 

Correction... She has one person.

Me.
