"Millie Way you find yourself here through your own fault. Not only have you put countless lives in danger but you almost killed your sister" my lawyer said strongly. I looked over at Millie barley able to meet her eye. Her head hung low in sorrow.

Two weeks earlier:

"Hannah she didn't mean too hurt anyone, let alone you!" Mikey pleaded.

"It's not about that Mikey! I was almost killed because of her stupidity. She might not have meant to but you would have thought she would have more common sense than to leave a lit cigarette on a log, underneath my room!" I protested, still hurt from what had happened.

"Millie and you have been sisters from the age of what? 5? You can't let your relationship with your best friend, sister, crumble like this over something so silly" Frank interrupted.

"Silly? I almost died Frank?" I said spinning around to face him with anger.

"Sorry that was inconsiderate of me" he smiled and buried his head in his hands trying to work out this whole situation.

So your probably thinking what the hell is going on? Well basically I'm taking Millie to court.

I have thought about it a lot and decided that this is the best thing to do. We had a close relationship. If she cares about me as much as she says she does then why would she almost kill me. Don't get me wrong I know it was an accident but just the fact that I could have died has really made me value my life and she should do too. This might be the wake up call she needed.

After the incident I haven't said a word to Millie, she has moved back to the care home for a few days whilst I'm still recovering at home. She cooperated and moved straight away probably trying to avoid confrontation.

"Hannah I really think your making the wrong decision, suing someone isn't over in just a matter of days. It takes weeks for your request even to be processed, let alone a court order!" Frank pleaded.

"We had the papers through today Frank, two weeks time" Mikey interrupted.

"We have got you both extremely good lawyers, Hannah you have Mrs Pankwoth, Millie will have Mr Peters. They are the best two lawyers in the world. I want you to both have an even chance because we love you equally. Hannah we all think your making the wrong decision but you seem so fixated on hurting your sister we don't know what to say anymore" Mikey said.

"Hurting my sister? What like she didn't hurt me?" I rolled my eyes and huffed, annoyed at the situation.

"Yes she might have hurt you emotionally but things could have been slot worse. Your talking about jail time, higher courts, a criminal record Hannah! What part of that don't you understand?! Your ruining Millie's life!" Mikey spat getting angry.

He turned away not able to face me. He sighed and wiped his face before exciting the room.

Mikey gave me a sympathetic smile before following Gerard, followed by Frank and the rest of the guys.

Was I really the enemy here?

I made a fist and punched the hospital bed letting out my anger. At least I can go home today. Wait...home? I'm not living with the guys anymore. Well at least I don't think so? Where am I going to to?

***

"Mikey where am I going?" I asked desperately.

"Your going to be staying with us, only for a few days until the court case is over and both of yours fates are decided. Then back to the care home I guess so we all have time to think" he said seriously as we drove back to the hotel room.
