Lies of Lush (Matthew Lush F.F.)

Chapter 9

  *** Chapter Nine ***

Sorry this a bit late, I had to write it on my phone again. I don't know anything about court and judges, so be easy on me, I just used the slight amount of information I do know to make a plot. Here it is.

Nick approached his lawyer anxiously. His lawyer told him the odds of the charges against Matt actually turning out in his favor. It didn't look good. Matthew was wearing a black suit and suade shoes. His hair was dyed a dark brown color. Nick felt his heart beat speed up at the sight of the slender man in front of him.

   Matthew and Nick had a complicated case, but it wasn't going in front of a jury. The case would just be a judge, the two lawyers, and one of the physicians from the hospital. The judge allowed everyone to sit down. Nick relaxed a bit, but he was still pretty tense.

    Matthew had a short smile planted on his face. He saw the whole case as a joke. Everyone hurried through the greetings they were suppose to provide. "Nicholas Laws is pressing charges against a Mr. Matthew Lush for rape, physical abuse, and emotional abuse." The judge announced, stating what seemed to Nick as the obvious.

   "Matthew, is this true?"

   "I never hurt Nick in any sort of way." Matthew said, watching the younger man squirm. Nick was hoping his lawyer and physician could get him through this. "Your honor, Mr. Laws has bruises on his arms, back, and wrist, he is slim, slimmer than he should be, Nicholas had signs of forced entrance to his, well, I can say that he was raped." The physician said in Nick's defense.

  "Nick?" The judge moved his gaze on him. He thought the kid looked kinda roughed up, but he had to stick to his ground. "It's true." He barely whispered, Nick lifted his sleeves up on his dark blue suit, it revealed bruises on his wrist. "Honey! Who did that to you?" Matthew shouted, his face showed anger, and fear. Nick shook his head angrily. "Stop lying." The boy growled.

  "Nick." His lawyer tried to calm him. Nick jerked when his lawyer put a hand on hid back. "Do you wanna see these bruises too?!" Nick stood up and pulled his shirt up so the bruises could be seen. Nick's lawyer gasped at the bruises. She was a tall woman, with long blonde hair. Nick assumed she had a family, she was atleast thirty. "Nick!" She hissed at the boy. "Put your shirt down, one more outburst from you and this case is over." The judge warned. Nick pulled his shirt down and sat down again.

   After an hour of everyone arguing, the judge made his call. Nick was crossing his fingers. Matthew saw his gesture and grinned. The physician was rubbing Nick's back lightly, avoiding the bruises. The lawyer was making phone calls. Matthew's lawyer was talking to him as the judge went to decide the fate of Nick Laws.

   The judge returned from his private office with his ruling. "Matthew, Nick, rise please."
