~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Leila's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Leila, your sentence is 40 hours of community service. The jury voted on a detention center sentence, but as it was merely defensive of a loved one, it has been revoked. You may pick one of these options for community service, Ms. Nijem." He said. We all looked each other, with our mouths gaping open. I can't believe it.

I stood up with Lance to look at the list. It read:

Ms. Leila Nijem,

You may pick one of these options to serve this sentence. You have one month to complete or there will be another hearing for another sentence. Otherwise, you will have no other charges.

You may: pick up trash on the highway,volunteer at a veterinary hospital, cook in a soup kitchen, work in the library and work in a nursing home. If you have any other ideas, please contact me at this email. bill@judges.oklahoma.com

Sincerely,

Judge Bill

Trash? No way! Ooo puppies! That may work! I see food! Soup is so amazing! How do you pick between soup and cute puppies? I'll go with puppies!

"Sir, i will like to volunteer at a veterinary hospital." I said. With a simple nod, I sat down back down by Lance grinning at Annie. I turned around to Zayn to look depressed. Great. I was all happy about kitties & puppies, then my baby is upset. I can't even bare to look at him being sad. His eyebrows are all creased down, his brown eyes filled with sorrow, his thumbs twirling around each other. I just can't stand the heartbreak. I'm gonna talk to him after this. I turned to see Annie & Liam holding hands. Aww! Wait--Are they? She would've told me! Right?

"Ann Marie Love are you two dating?!?" I said quietly enough for her. She shook her head and blushed so hard. I can't even keep in the fan girling. Everyone else in the court room had left, leaving us alone. I rolled on the ground for a bit, then laid flat on my stomach screaming and kicking. I then stood up and started running around the room doing a mix of yelling and singing. "Hey there Delilah whats it like in Oklahoma City? Your nine months away! But girl, you'll look like your mom, oh yes you do! No one can shine as bright as you, i swear its true! Hey there Delilah don't worry about missing out, I'm right here if you are worried give this song a listen. close your eyes its my disguise!"

Annie facepalmed herself shaking her head. "Leila stop or I will do it!" I stopped right where I was and looked at her with big eyes. How dare she threaten such a thing? That's against girl code, right?

"You wouldn't dare! You know, I could always show him!" She gasped at my come back. Ha! What now, Annie? I WIN!

"Hey Zaynie baby! Have you ever been on Leila's twitter?" SHE DID IT! Game on! I ran over to her, attempting to tackle her, but Liam moved in front of her. I can't tackle Liam! He's so sweet to my best friend! She didn't stop there.."It's @LeilaNijem" Oh snap! It's on!

"Hey Liam! Have you been to Annie's mom's apartment? Oh, you haven't? Here's a picture of her wall o' posters!" I wipped out my iphone that Annie got for my birthday, and showed him the picture of all her posters of him. Her face was red and slightly hurt. Well, my sweet annie bear, revenge is a bitch.
