Guess who's back ? Back again
The first thing that reminded Harry of how soon the trial was, was when a plea deal was sent to the office
"Name any accomplices and plead guilty of 1st degree murder for life in prison with no chance of parole, or plead innocent of 1st degree murder and accept the fact that by American law, any citizen of the USA has the right to sentence to death their murderer" Harry read aloud
"But it was first degree murder" Louis explained "I thought out a plan to kill him and I succeeded"
"It was the only way" Harry defended
"Doesn't make it any better" Louis snapped "I killed him. I had a plan and I killed him" he added "That is the definition of 1st degree murder and I did it"
"He wasn't even American!" Harry exclaimed
"They don't know that" Louis argued
"But they could" Harry said in frustration "They could if you'd just tell them your story"
"Harry, I've already told you that I'll try" Louis replied "But I can't say that I'm innocent because I'm not"
"You can't plead guilty" Harry told him
"I'm not innocent" Louis repeated
"If you plead guilty then you'll never get out of here" Harry told him "Ever" he added for emphasis
"I know that" Louis said, rolling his eyes "I know what that means"
"Then you know that it's not an option" Harry said quickly, rushing the words out
"It's the only option" Louis huffed
"No" Harry was shouting now "No, I'm not going to sit here and watch you throw your life away"
"I threw my life away when I left home" Louis yelled back
"That's not true" Harry said quickly, voice still raised "You didn't have a choice" he added "You did what was best for you"
"No I didn't" Louis shot back "I did a stupid thing a long time ago and now I'm paying for it"
"You did what you had to do" Harry argued, still angry and frustrated at the boy in front of him
"Stop!" Louis shouted "Stop defending me!"
"I won't let you talk shit about yourself because it's not true" Harry snapped "It's not true okay?" he said, visibly calmer this time
"You can't just defend me" Louis replied quietly
"I can and I will" Harry argued "I'll defend you until you learn to defend yourself"

A man walked across the screen, depositing a body on the bed as if it were nothing more than a piece of meat
"We've seen this" Niall spoke up "Go faster"
"Don't want to miss anything" Liam murmured, not pressing anything
"This isn't a movie. Doesn't matter if we miss a second or so" Niall told him
"We need all the details" Harry added in
"God this is gruesome" Niall complained, once again
Liam gave him a look as Harry watched the screen intensely "Wait, nothing's happening, Louis' drugged here" Harry told them
"How do you know?" Liam asked
"He gets like that" Harry stated "His eyes are shut when he sleeps but only half shut when he's drugged" he explained
