I love you more. *A Zalfie Fanfic*

Nick's Trial.

Let me just go ahead and say that this chapter is terrible. I know this. But its crucial to the story. You dont have to read the chapter. xxx

I woke up in mine and Alfie's bedroom. I guess someone carried me in here after I fell asleep last night.

It was about 8:30 when my eyes fully opened. It was still dark, gloomy, and raining outside. Alfie was still asleep so I rolled out of bed and made my way out of the room.

Before going down the stairs I walked over to the guest room to check on my dad. He was still sound asleep. When I got down stairs, I walked over to the couch where Joe was, he as well was still asleep.

It was extremely dark in the living room so I opened the security blinds hoping to let in some sliver of light. No luck. I didn't want to wake Joe up so I just turned on a small lamp. Giving off just enough light that I could get some cereal.

--------------------------------------

Today was the day. It was Nikolai's sentencing day. I was wearing a black dress that reached my knees, a single strand of pearls around my neck, and a pair of black heels.

I did a very natural makeup look and wore my hair down. Alfie walked up behind me as I was sitting at my dressing table and placed his hands on my shoulders. He was wearing a pair of black dress trousers and a white button up, which was tucked into his bottoms. The collar of his shirt was up and he had a dark navy blue tie draped around his neck.

His kissed the top of my head and I stood up, turning to face him. I took his tie in my hands and began to tie it.

"You okay?" He asked.

"Yep." I lied.

I wasn't okay. I would have to see Nikolai, yes my dad, brother, and boyfriend would be there, but that doesn't mean I wasn't nervous.

I was done tying his tie. "Jacket?" I said holding out my hand.

He handed it to me and I stood behind him as he slid his arms in. Once fully on I situated the collars and folded them down, and brushed the lint off his shoulders.

I squeezed his shoulders and turned to walk out of the bathroom. Alfie grabbed my hips and pulled me to him.

"It's okay." He said against the back of my head. Wrapping his arms around me.

I sighed and leaned into him. "What if they let him go Alfie?" I questioned.

"They wont. They know the details. They've seen the wound. Speaking of how does it look?" He asked.

Alfie has been my rock when its come to the wound. He helps me change the gauze everyday. He puts antibiotic ointment on it. He has been a savior

I pulled up the hem of my dress to right below my breasts. The swelling was going down. However, the bruises still looked horrendous. He touched the bandage lightly causing me to wince.

"Oh sorry." He said. He grabbed my dress and pulled it down. "We'll redress it when we get back okay."

"Okay." I said.

He took my small face into his big hands, making me look at him. "You don't have to go. You can stay here and we'll go."

"No I need to go." I said shaking my head reassuringly.

He gave me a loving kiss on the lips and we left the bathroom.

My dad and Joe were waiting downstairs, each looking sharp in their business suits.

---------------------------------------

I was sitting in a hard, uncomfortable wooden chair in a freezing court room. My dad had an arms draped over the back of my chair and Alfie had a hand on my knee.

"All rise!" A large man in a uniform said. "For judge Mann."

It felt like we were in the courtroom forever before the judge announced the sentence.

"Okay on one count of attempted murder, stalking, death threats, and black mail. I sentence you to 1 year in jail. Bailiff take him out."

Nikolai turned around and stared me in the eye. "I'll get you." He said pointing at me.

The policeman grabbed his arm and cuffed his hands behind his back.

The door shut behind Nick and the policeman walking him out.

The boys stood up, me not far behind them. As we walked out of the courtroom a weight lifted off my chest. I felt like I could finally breathe again.

This was it. Me and Alfie could live in peace. Really start planning our lives. No more being terrified to go outside. No more being on edge all the time.

I was ready to really start living my life.
