Kidnapped by the Dolan twins

The trial pt. 2

Ethan's pov

"Defendant. Who do you call to the stand?"

"Ethan Dolan, your honor."

Once again, I took the stand, this time, in hand cuffs. It was the second trial.

I looked at Debra, who seemed more tired than me. I hadn't slept since the night before the first trial.

"Ethan, why do you think Scott forced you and Grayson to kidnap innocent girls?" She balanced a pen on both her hands as she walked aimlessly around the room, waiting for my response. "Scott was co-workers with my dad. They both had fallen in love with my mom, and my dad won her over, I guess. Since then, Scott has hated my parents with a burning passion. He wanted to see them writher in pain. But back then, he wasn't into killing people. So, he took me Grayson, convinced us that our actual father was our stepfather, and that Scott was our father, and then we disappeared. He didn't start being abusive until after a few weeks." I felt nothing. I no longer felt the anger I kept inside of me. I no longer felt the awful pain inside me. I was emotionless.

"Tell me about Leila. Why did you kidnap her?" I sort of tensed, feeling something small deep inside. "Scott came home one day, told us everything about Leila. How she walks, her school schedule, her family. Everything. I'm not sure why Scott made us kidnap her. Maybe it was for his own pleasures, or just because. You never know what to expect from him. He could be saying that you and him are on good terms now, but in a few days, you'll hear on the news that you're dead."

"What happened towards the end of her kidnapping?"

"Scott had Grayson put Leila in a cage. When she woke up, she watched Scott murder her own mother." The small feeling that was deep inside me grew larger, and my voice cracked. "She grabbed a gun that was behind me. And she shot him. She tried to kill Scott. She did, at the moment."

"What happened after that?"

"I let Leila out, and knocked out Grayson. He was trying to kill me, but Leila saved me. I don't think she knew what was going on at the moment. But I do think she was just doing what she felt right. She always did. We bought a house and moved in together. We weren't a couple, we just lived together. At the time, I had a girlfriend - Gabriella."

"How did you feel towards Gabriella?"

"I mean I liked her a lot, but I didn't at all think that we'd get married. She was a little too snobby and a bit of a gold digger." Snickers fell across the room. Weird.

"Who did you think you would marry?"

Without thinking, I said the one person that came to my mind. "Leila." Gasps flew around, and I came to realization. "So you love her?"

"What?" I was still confused on what was going on, the only thing I was thinking about was what I said. "People marry each other because they love each other. Do you love her?" Silence enveloped me, as my mind raced. The feeling that was deep inside me was no longer deep and was very visible and very big.

Do I love Leila?

"I don't know."

"Because, someone who loved someone would be very protective to each other. They would defend and save each other." Leila saved me when I was about to die. I saved Leila when she was about to die. "They would live with each other, of course. And they would be there for each other." Leila was there for me that one night I had a nightmare, and while I was in here. But she's not here now. She's been kidnapped. And I can't protect her. "I do love her." I whispered, coming to realization. "I'm sorry Ethan, could you repeat that?"

"I love Leila James." I smiled, looking up at everyone. "I need to go find her! Please your honor! You have to let me go find her!" I looked at the judge, begging him to let me go. The judge looked around.

"I hear by declare Ethan Dolan 5 years in prison for kidnapping innocent girls." My life had just been drained of crappy prison feed and the box. 5 years. 5. "What? No! I have to save Leila! I need to be released now!" The guards had grabbed my arms, but I fought them, waiting for an answer from the judge. "Ethan, I understand you love someone. But in order to be released, you have to face the fact that you kidnapped people and didn't bother to yell for help. I'm sorry, but that's the law." Tears welled in my eyes, seeing my freedom won't be mine for 5 years.

Leila won't be mine for 5 years.

I'm going to go crazy without her.
