One Hope {A Lachlan Fanfic}

Forty Seven

"Tell us exactly what happened on July 22nd." The prosecutor says, folding his arms on the table.

"W-well... I was dating Alex at the time. We were going through... hardships in our relationships. I decided to go see him, and that is when he decided to kill me, repeating that I wasn't his girlfriend." I reply.

"About these hardships.... what were they?" The prosecutor, Mr. David Reese, asks.

"He... for one, he cheated on me, with this girl named Ally. And then, he abused me. I don't know why I stayed with him."

"How long have you known him?"

"Ever since junior year in high school. We were high school sweethearts." I respond.

"And... did he make any violent actions towards you then?" He asks.

"No sir." I reply.

"Do you know of any medical ailments he might have, as you are a doctor?" He asks, and that question throws me off.

"No, not that I know of. It seems as if it was of his own free will, although you might want to get an unbiased perspective on the matter." I respond, and he nods.

"Will you be willing to be a witness in court?" He asks.

"Of course." I respond, no hesitation in my voice.

Man, I've changed. If I was asked that over a year ago, I probably would have said no, still stuck in my impossible dream.

"Alright. Thank you. One final question. What are your feelings towards him now?" He asks.

"I believe..." I gulp. "I believe that he is a man that should be put behind bars. What he has done is unacceptable. He beat me, he hit me, sometimes landing me up in the hospital, but still I stayed by him as a naïve human being. He cheated on me, he was not loyal. He tried to kill me on that night, and I probably would have died if it weren't for my best friend, who immediately called the cops. He came at me with a knife and I had nothing but a chair to defend myself with. I strongly believe that this man should pay for his crimes. He stole my happiness, and that cannot be forgiven."

"Well said. I shall do everything in my power to put him in jail. I will contact you if I need any more information, but as of now, I will see you in court." He says, and I nod.

"Thank you."

We shake hands and I stand up, leaving the room and walking to the supermarket. I check my phone to notice that the boys requested a lot of items. *Sweatdrops.* I walk inside and bring the good friend I am, buy everything.

They owe me 32 trips to Nando's.

I text Simon to pick me up and he arrives twenty minutes later. "You got the stuff?" He asks in a "shady" voice.

"Yeah. Now let's get the fuck outta here." I reply in an equally "shady" voice as we put the items in the trunk. We get in the car and drive off back to the sidemen house. Once we arrive, we grab the bags and walk inside, making three to four trips. Thankfully, Josh and JJ helped so we did it in half the time. "I would just like to say that you all owe me 32 trips to Nando's for all that random ass shit you made me buy." I state.
