The Broken Ones

Chapter 15

Neveah's p.o.v

I felt some one shake me awake. I slowly lifted my head. I realized that I had fallen asleep on someone? It was Liam. Crap. I hope he doesn't think I'm falling for him. I mean I like him and all, I just need to figure out my real feelings towards him, they're all jumbled up.

"Wake up!" I heard Louis shout. I felt Liam shift under me and I sat up streching out my arms.

"What do you want?" I whined. I'm not a moring person, so he better beware.

"It's like noon and you need to get up." Noon? Wow.

"I don't wanna get up." I whined again laying back against Liam. What? I was tired and he was comfy. Like a giant good-smelling pillow.

"You have to, the lawyer called me and told me that if we didn't show up to the next hearing that those guys from a few days ago would be set free." I shot right up. I looked at Reagan with a confused look.

"What do you mean? They didn't even call us for the first hearing." I was getting utterly confused.

"Yeah what do you mean? I don't understand." Liam butted in next to me.

"The lady said the we weren't anwsering her calls the day of the first one." Reagan explained.

"Did she tell you when that was?" I asked. She nodded her head in response.

"It was the day that we went to the karaoke place, and you know what happened." No. Please, no.

"So the music must have drained out the ringing from your phones." Louis suggested and we all nodded.

"So while we were getting harrassed and beaten, those other assholes were winning the case about attempted rape and sexual assault?" I was so pissed. Totally unfair. I hate life right now. First attempted rape, being sexually harassed TWICE, and now this. I started balling my fist at my sides and dug my nails into my palms.

"Just calm down Veah." Liam said standing up and putting his hands on my shoulders. "Now. When is the next thing?" He asked Rea.

"Today at 3." I sighed.

"Lets get ready then." I said giving Liam a reassuring smile while taking Reagan and getting up to leave back to our hotel room.

She followed silently and once we got there we put on the most elegant clothing we brought and applied some eye make-up and lipstick. Once we were done, we got our purses ready and waited till it was time to leave.

It was an hour till we had to leave when there was a knock at the door.

"I'll get it!" I called to Rea, who was currently sulking in one of the chairs while staring at her sketch pad.

When I opened the door, unsurprisingly, it was Liam and Zayn.

"Hi!" I said, happy to see them. I opened the door slightly wider for them to come in.

"Hey," they greeted together.

"So, what brings you here?" I asked. They usually come over, but I was curious to why they came over right now.

"We decided to help out, be witnesses to your case," Zayn explained as he walked over to Rea, who seemed to brighten up slightly.

I embraced Liam in a hug as I said, "Thank you so much!"

"No problem, it's the least we could do. Plus those bastards deserve to be behind bars," Liam said, somewhat darkly, as he returned the hug.

I held onto him for more then I should have before I pulled away and looked over at Reagan and Zayn.
