Believe Me

*Lauren's POV*

"Lauren, I didn't do it I swear to you.""I don't know why they think it's me.""I could've been set up or something I don't fucking know."

"I don't know who to believe.""The law.""Or my wife."I sigh with my head in my hands.

"Believe me."

"You were arrested Y/N."

"For murder."

"I don't go around killing people Lauren."

"Then where were you huh?""The night it happened?""What the hell were you doing then?"

"What I was doing didn't involve any murdering Lauren."

"Well, if you say shit like that how do you expect anyone to believe you.""You.""Need.""An.""Alibi."

I'm so frustrated with her.Shes in a jail cell because she won't tell anyone where she was.

"I...Lauren.""I didn't kill anyone baby.""I'm not capable of taking another's life.""I'm not that vicious."

"Y/N...please.""Just tell the lawyer where you were.""Okay?"

*During the trial*

"So...my client Y/N Y/L/N has been convicted of...a very gruesome murder."

"But."he says holding up his pointer finger."My client was in fact no where near the scene when this crime took place."

I saw Y/N on the stand looking around nervously. This is so nerve wracking.

"Mrs.Y/L/N""Please tell us where you were July 6th at around 9pm."

"Uh.."she sighs deeply."I was at a club."

"At a club you say?"

"Yes a club."

"And what is the name of this club."

"Fantasy Women."

"What the fuck is that?"I mumble to Dinah as she shrugs. I see her searching on her phone as she elbows me to look.

This bitch was at a strip club?

"And are you or are you not a regular customer?"

"I am.""Every Wednesday.""At around 8."

"And what was the purpose of your early exit from the club?"

"I was really drunk, and wasn't allowed anymore drinks.""They cut me off."

"And where did you go after?"

"I went to a liquor store."I see her cringe at her words. She must know I'm gonna beat her ass then.

"Where are you going with this?"The opposing lawyer asks.

"Yes get to the point Mr.Jason."The judge sighs.

"And after the trip to the store were you or were you not still drinking?"

"I was."

"Were you still intoxicated?"

"Yes."

"And where did you go after the little trip."

"I stumbled into the park.""And sat on the fountain."

"Now, jury this is where this 'murder' went on.""Bare with me here."

"Mrs.Y/l/N""Did you or did you not find the body of the deceased Brody Washington."

"I did."

"And what did you do?"

"I panicked.""And I went to see if he was okay, but he wasn't.""I was too drunk to think clearly and I just left him.""I didn't know what to do."

"Now everyone this explains the evidence of my client on the scene."
"And the club owner as confirmed her whereabouts the night of this tragedy."

"Do we really think...this family woman would kill an innocent man.""And a man she didn't know at that.""The two had never met once before.""So would a lady with a stable job...amazing wife and kids, and lovely friends...really be a murderer?""Think about that."

"I'm finished your honor."The lawyer sits and the defendant lawyer stands.

"Now...Mrs.Y/L/N""If...your life is so 'stable' what was the need for all the drinking?""And every Wednesday at that."

"I...I was just under a lot of stress."

"Stress you say?"

"Yes stress."

"Would this stress have anything to do with your partnership with Mr.Washington's business?"

"Partnership?"she questions, she looks really confused.

"Yes, partnership.""Mr.Washington's wife says she's seen you and her husband meet more then 10 times.""You've been in their home.""You stayed over for dinner.""You've had drinks with the two on many occasions."

"OBJECTION."Our lawyer yells."Where is the proof of this?"

"Yes we need evidence provided Mr.Long."The judge confirms.

"Now you see...somehow.""The evidence has been tampered with.""Suddenly it's been 'deleted' by an unknown source."

"No proof, then it never happened your honor."Mr.Jason says firmly.

"He's right.""This is off topic Mr.Long, get this over with."
