Metal Saved Me

Chapter 61

DAY OF THE TRIAL NOW!!!!

I woke up to the sound of the alarm, today was the day of the trial and to say I was a bag of nerves was an understatement, I checked my phone to see I have a missed call and a voicemail so I go check the voicemail.

Padge: Hey babes just wishing you luck for the trial, sorry if I woke U, please keep me posted about what's happening, we all thinking of U today, I love you so much beautiful.

How sweet, Padge has managed to put a smile on my face even though I was a wreck with nerves. I go into bathroom and shower, when I got out, I towel dried my hair as best as I could and got dressed into a suit pants with a long sleeve black T-shirt and paired it with a black and white pinstriped jacket and a pair of black ankle boots. I then put on my makeup and then go downstairs where the others were all ready too and smartly dressed too. I asked Olivia if she could do my hair and she obliged. So since my hair grew a good bit again since cutting it, she was able to do the side french braid. Charlotte bad made me coffee and as soon as Olivia finished with my hair, I went out back with coffee and a few nervous ciggies and I texted Padge a thank you for his voicemail cos it made me smile. I also told him I was a bag of nerves and chain smoking.

It was time to go now and I had to play some calm music to help my nerves while driving to the courts. I played some Irish music to think of home(even though I hated the memories). I played Mundy's Galway Girl and July and suprisingly Charlotte and Stephi knew it the words to it, I also played some mellow rock music like Meatloaf, Bonnie Tyler and Metallica and I couldn't resist playing Bullet's Bittersweet Memories. We get to the courts and I put a day ticket on the car because god knows how long we gonna be in here. I had another ciggie before going inside.

We soon head in and I take my letter outta my handbag to find which court room we in, I see we in room 3 so we head up and we were told to wait outside. My lawyer Joseph Philips came out to greet us and he said that he expects this trial to end not long after starting. I sat with my lawyer at one table, while the girls and Evann sat behind us for their support. The 2 girls were escorted into the courtroom in handcuffs and they stared right through me. I was called to the stand first and my lawyer asked me questions first.

Joseph: Can you confirm your name for me!

Poppy: Poppy McDonnell

Joseph: Thank you and your date of birth?

Poppy: 28th September 1986

Joseph: Thank you so can you please describe in your own words what happened on the day that this incident occurred back in March?

Poppy: Yes, Myself, my boyfriend and his band mates along with their support act were out for a few drinks in the rock bar Big Red and we were having a good night even though we were getting strange looks from the 2 girls there.

Joseph: OK and then what happened?

Poppy: Myself and my friend went to the toilet and they both came in talking smack about us while we were in the cubicles

Joseph: What did they say?

Poppy: They called us whore's and said our boyfriends could do so much better than being with us and saying they were hotter, so we walked out of our cubicles and they left embarrassed.

Joseph: OK and then what?

Poppy: We got the deathglare as we walked past their table but we just got on with the night, that was until myself and my boyfriend followed our 2 friends outside for a smoke, after a while our 2 friends went inside while we stayed outside for a while and when we went back inside the 2 girls were laying into my friend
