Abducted// MGC

Trigger Warning: touches very briefly on self harm. Please don't hurt yourselves my loves, you are all so strong and I know you can get through anything <3. I'm always here to talk if you guys need it :-)

Ashton sat patiently in front of the court room, awaiting the judge to settle everyone down and begin the trial.

To say he was nervous was an understatement, he didn't do anything to Willow. He just thought she was cute and felt bad she was cold. That's all, he'd never hurt anyone.

He looked back at his family, who believed everything he said. They were always supportive of him and they also knew for a fact, he wouldn't hurt anyone.

"Simmer down!" The judge said hitting the table. Everyone silenced almost immediately, signaling it was time. Ashton's heart rate sped up instantaneously, he was a nervous wreck.

"I would first like to call up Ashton Irwin, please" Willow's family named Patrick lawyer said. Ashton looked back at his family, and then got up, walking to the stand.

He vowed that he would tell the truth, which he already had been doing all along. No one seemed to believe him though.

"You were working the afternoon of the day of Willow Clemen's abduction, correct?" Patrick asked as a warm up question.

"Yes sir, I was" he replied.

"Let's just go through some basic information, okay?" He said.

"Okay sir" Ashton politely said.

"You seem nervous" Patrick pointed out.

"I am" Ashton admitted.

"Why is that?" He asked.

"Because I didn't hurt her. I didn't have any reason to, nor did I even know her, even if I did have some sort of twisted reasoning I would never ever hurt anyone. Willow was just a pretty girl who was walking home on a cold day, so I was being a gentleman and bought her a hot chocolate. I don't see how being nice can be a crime" Ashton said.

"Let's just start from the beginning. Willow came in the gas station, and purchased sour patch kids, correct?" He asked.

"Correct" Ashton said.

"You then flirted with her, and noticed she was cold, and gave her a hot chocolate, correct?" He asked.

"Correct" Ashton said again.

"You then went out on an emergency break for 40 minuets, correct?" He asked.

"Correct" Ashton said for the third time.

"A lot can happen in 40 minuets. You could take your brother to the hospital, or you could kidnap an innocent woman and then return back to work" he said.

"I didn't hurt her" Ashton said.

"Yeah? Well how do we know that. Some one cut the video footage at the gas station, so all we have is footage of your mother and your brother entering the hospital, and you were no where to be seen" Patrick scoffed.

"Because I just dropped them off, I needed to go back to work" he said defending himself.

"Even then you could have had enough time to go back and take Willow" he said.

"I didn't take her sir" Ashton said beginning to lose his patience.

"Again, how can we be so sure?" He asked. All of the sudden a noise came from the back of the court room. The door loudly opened and a tall blonde man entering.

"Luke?" Officer Rob asked.

"Luke Hemmings?" Patrick asked in shock.

"I want to answer some questions" Luke said. "Ashton's not guilty" he added.
