It Started With A Kiss, How Did It End Up Like This? (Muke)

Chapter 13

I keep trying to tell myself its okay, when it isn't. I keep telling myself this was so Luke was safe. It's not working. So I get raped for Luke's safety? How would that make any sense. Well that was last week. Now every little thing can make me burst to tears. Calum and Ashton don't understand, but Luke fully understands. Luke's been avoiding sexual jokes and anything that could make me upset. But Cal and Ash don't understand why. Today was the day me and Luke (behind Ash and Cal's back) are going to court. We are going against my father because Luke knew what would help. Knowing that bastard would be in jail. It wouldn't make up for everything, but damn no funny sex jokes tears you apart. But Luke knows once my father is behind bars everything will totally be okay.
And he's 100% right! I wouldn't have to deal with him anymore or worry he'll be after me. All fear will disappear. And then go on about my lustful thoughts about Luke. Like when he wears tight skinny jeans. Or his morning hair is just so sexy. I mean what?
"Ready to go Mikey?" Luke asked across the room putting on his Vans.
"Yeah." I said putting on my sweat jacket.
"Alright let's go." He said before kissing my cheek. I followed him to the car and sat on the passenger side.
"Whatever happens, happens. Don't worry. Okay? I love you." He said hugging me
"I love you too." I smiled

A/N- IM SORRY TO INTERRUPT BUT I DONT FULLY UNDERSTAND HOW AUSTRALIAN COURT AND SCHOOLING WORK SO BARE WITH ME!!

We walked up to the huge building labeled COURT HOUSE. It looked scary, and I was scared to go in. But this is so that bastard is gone.
-----
"Michael Clifford, you are charging your father, Mr. Clifford with abuse, rape and kidnapping. Is this correct?" The judge asked
I stood up and nodded.
"Liar!" My father yelled "You're a dirty filthy liar! Judge, my son ran away at 17, started a band without my permission and never told me or called me! I did nothing! I would never rape! I wouldn't abuse!" He cried out
"Files please of Mr. Clifford" The judge asked a lady and she ran in with my dads file.
"Mr. Clifford, you have been charged with rape before. Twice. Your son, Michael is saying you have sexually abused him twice. 13 and 18 years old, neither of those are even on here." The judge said tisking.
I was shuddering with each word, but luckily Ash or Cal weren't here. It was only Luke. He was gratefully next to me. Rubbing his hand on my thigh and occasionally playing with my fingers.
"Michael Clifford to the stand." The judge demanded, Luke throwing me a little smile and I walked up to the stand.
"Michael is it true your father abused you. If so, how?" The judge asked
"Well it began when I was 11. It was the reason my mother left us, it was starting with punches and kicks, then it went to beer bottles thrown at my head." I said pointing to the cut on my forehead. "He did that until I was 17 and moved in with my friends because our band was getting more know. So we figured move into a house together. My father, last week sent me a text. Threatening my boyfriend Luke, saying if I do not show up to the Sydney Harbor lake he would get it. I showed up and he chased to the woods on the side. Kicking me and hit me till I was knocked out. I woke up at the house and attempted to leave, but my father threw a beer bottle at me and told me he was the one who raped me at 13 years old. He threatened to do it again, and he did." I said stuttering every so often
"Mahogany!" My father yelled
"Enough Mr. Clifford. The jury will determine you now guilty or not guilty." She said pointing to the jury
There was chatter and it was making me nervous. I looked at Luke who sent a smile my way.
"Jury, have we made our decision?" The judge asked
"We find Mr. Clifford, guilty of all charges Michael Clifford is holding him for." One said and smiled
The judge asked another up "General, how long will all these charges hold him for?" The judge asked
"It will be prison for life." He replied
Cops walked over and handcuffed my father, dragging him away from my life forever. I ran to Luke and hugged him. I didn't wanna let go.
