I Won't Tell -Zayn Malik Au-

Chapter Fifty Two

~Zayn's Pov~

*4 weeks later*

"Okay, i want you to don't be nervous," My lawyer, Ms. Bullock said to me. This was the first day of my trial and I was already nervous.

"How can i not be?" I said, fumbling with my tie. "I've raped the girl that meant a lot to me. And there may be a chance i can be put away for good."

Ms. Bullock let out a soft sigh before rubbing my back. "Think positive here, okay?"

I nodded before she stood up and facing the judge. "People versus Zayn Malik on the account of Rape in the second degree."

The judge looked over where we are with his hands clasped together. "Ms. Bullock, how does your client plead?"

"Not guilty," she answered.

Then the judge looked over at Gabriel's lawyer. "What does the people requested?"

"The people requested for Mr. Malik to be locked up and twenty thousand dollars bail." He spoke.

"I think it's a bit excessive, don't you think your honor?" My lawyer spoke. "This young man and my client was intoxicated and was clearly not aware of his actions towards, Miss. Smith. I ask that he should be in custody with his mother. I mean he's still in school and haven't completed his senior year. If there's any decency, you let him continue with his studies."

"Um, excuse me your honor," Gabriel's lawyer cut in. "Just because he was intoxicated doesn't make up for what he did."

The judge sighed. "We'll see by our next court date. The bail is set at fifteen thousand dollars, and Mr. Malik may be in custody with his mother for now. But just so we all on the same page, Zayn Malik you are to keep away from Ms. Smith, is that understood?" he asked giving me a stern look.

I swallowed a large lump in my throat. "Y-yes, sir."

The judge gave a short nod before hitting the gravel on the table. "See you in five months, Mr. Malik."

I turned around and hugged my mother, who had been sitting behind me throughout and my friends, Harry, Louis, Niall, and Liam. My mother hugged me just as tight as she sobbed quietly into my shoulder. "Its going to be okay, mum." I reassured her, as i felt her nod in my shoulder.

"Are you alright mate?" Louis asked patting me on the back.

"I don't know. I'm just glad i get to go home." I replied.

"Come on, lets go." I heard Gabriel's mother say. I looked over and met Gabriel's brown eyes and i just stared at her.

She stared back at me. There was something in the way she looked as if there was something she wanted to tell me. Just as i was about to open my mouth to say something but Luke placed his hand at the small of her back. "Come on, Gabby." He said.

I watched as she glanced at Luke, then back at me. She nodded and looked down. "Okay." She whispered.

I watched on with a slight pain in my chest as she, Luke and her family walked out of the courtroom, with Luke giving me a glare and they was out of sight.

"Come on, lets get you home." I heard my mother say. I just nodded and slowly walked out of the courtroom with my friends and my mother rubbing my back in comfort.

*8:49pm*

It was completely silent at the dinner table. All you could hear was the sound of silverware clinking against the china. I simply stared down at my spaghetti. tossing the noodles around with my fork. After what i've went through today and spent four weeks in jail because of what i've done, i was in no mood of eating.
