Chapter eleven

Stage one: Hostility and Deceit

Pennsylvania

Troy's P.O.V

The bright light flipped me to the other side. I groaned hiding my head behind the pillow.

" Maybe if he doesn't wake up then we wouldn't have to go?" Nante suggested.

" Ha ha " answered Vince chuckling

" Troy  wake  up!" She exclaimed as the persistent shaking woke me.

" Knock it off" I told the both of them trying to cocoon myself  before I shot my eyes open  then shut them again at the headache.

" Come on we need to get to court early" she said probably  motioning to the door as  the splitting headache intensified.
 
" Hangover huh?" She asked as I gave a curt nod then get patted at my shoulder.

" Aspirin's  in the  left pocket" she blabbered. When I finally quit rubbing the sleep from my eyes I  got a good look at her.

I noticed the familiar warm dark eyes then raven curls and the deep copper brown sculpture of a full  woman.

" What? " she asked " Nothing just you're in a dress you look great "

" I'll get rid of it once we're out of court God" she shrieked.

What?

" What? I meant it you look great"

" Right just get dressed for court" she replied backing out of the room.

What the hell just happened? I meant it Or did the meaning of the  word great change while I was asleep more like hangover.

" Ah" I cried getting out of the bed then dragged my feet out of the room to meet more of the devoted scouts instead of backpackers.

" You're not even dressed yet?" asked Lesley

" Good morning to you too" I replied shuffling to the bathroom before I got dressed for court like everybody else unfortunately though miss breakfast at the hostel since I was led out.

" Breakfast is to go" blabbered Valentina  hauling me out.

" All rise " bellowed the guard for the oath. " You maybe seated" allowed the judge.

" So Mister Hart you're suing Mister Underwood for your medical bills as a result of the noise from his hostel created by this gentleman over there?" Asked Judge Greene.

" Yes your honor" replied Mister Hart. I got bored and gazed at the court room although I did get a few words.

" First mistake" remarked Judge Greene. " Mister Stewart step forward please?" He requested.

" Do remember the encounter you had with Miss Hart the night of the incident?" He asked. "Not really " I replied.

" Were you drinking that night?" He asked. " Yes, your honor" I replied.

" Okay after you went to the window and told them to shut up!"

" I didn't tell them to shut up"

" Misses Hart there's no reason to lie" he stated. " Yes your honor" she said meekly.

" After you went to the window?" He inquired. " After I went to the window I told my husband, Gordon to meet the boys downstairs" She continued.

" Why didn't you call the police ?" He asked." Because I wanted to settle the conflict be-"

" No, Mister Underwood has an abatement note that came from you Misses Hart, that means you weren't able to approach Mister Underwood so you called the police but okay you wanted to settle the conflict without the police" he exclaimed.

I mentally groaned " So I woke up Gordon," " Mister Hart after your wife woke up how did you attain the injuries?"

" Well your honor  I got out of our bedroom so while I was walking down the steps I heard them yell more profanities at my wife that made me ran down the stairs where I fell and attained this injuries" he explained.

" What does Mister Underwood and Mister Stewart have to do with anything?" He asked. " Your ho-" they begged.

"I'm talking, you should have called the police but in-"

" We did"

" At the wrong time, if you called the police before then you wouldn't have needed to raced through the stairs-"

" Your honor it's because of him yelling the ob-"

" Those words didn't beat you up "

" I couldn't handle the likes of him disrespect-"

" Listen to me sir, him and Mister Underwood won't pay for your bills because they didn't inflict these injuries on you"

" They did"

" No they didn't if he was on your property even on Mister Underwood and fought with you and started it then he could have paid but since he followed none of the conditions above he's free" he answered.

" Yes your honor"

" Case dismissed" announced the judge. " Your lucky" said Mister Underwood as we got out the court and met Nante with the rest.

" He dismissed it" I cheered as she magnetised me to embrace her glad she didn't stiffen to the contact.

" Thank God it's over we can finally head back to the hostel" she chirped muffled by my shirt.

" Sorry to rain on everybody's parade but I need to remind you all about the film festival we arranged to go to" butted in Lesley.

" No we didn't" uttered Valentina .

"Well we are now" persisted Lesley to earn chorus of disagreement however most agreed reluctantly.

" I'll pass" spoke Nante.

" Come on everyone's going" I urged.
" I know I was there Troy but I'm not going" she replied.

" Pretty please" I begged as she shook her head slowly.

" No think about it with a festival you'll learn a new-"

" It doesn't matter how many reasons you give me I'm not going" she snapped then stormed out to the bright outdoors.

I wanted to go after her.

"Nante-"

" Let her cool off Troy " Mike snapped me back to reality.

That's one way to say no!

Alright I hope thus chapter was fine too. Seriously I need an edit.
